Character from Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
Evangeline's secret love — a shadow who can bend light and who became the reason a princess gave up a crown.
Elane Haven is a shadow — she manipulates light, bending it to create illusions or render herself invisible. Her relationship with Evangeline was hidden for years in a Silver court where political marriages were mandatory and personal desire was irrelevant. She is Evangeline's reason for leaving. When Evangeline finally chose love over legacy, Elane was who she chose. They fled to Montfort together to live openly. Elane represents what the Silver system denied: the right to love who you love, regardless of political convenience.
A Silver woman of House Haven — capable of light manipulation that lets her bend visibility. Her appearance is described as beautiful in a way that complements rather than competes with Evangeline's sharp magnetism.
