Main Story[]
History[]
Elnina runs the weather channel alongside Lanino as employees of Tenna.
Chapter 3[]
Elnina and Lanino are two of the Darkners who first appear in the TV World. During the Desert Board in Round 1, the pair will trigger a battle after using Lancer to dig up a key and block the oasis, or after drinking from the oasis 8 times. During their battle, Lanino and Elnina get into an argument, and one of the pair storms off based on choices made earlier in the battle. The remaining character continues through the fight alone, but realizes their mistake, and the battle ends early.
The main goal of the Island Board in Round 2 is to get to Atlantis Stadium, which is only accessible when two lovers meet at Lover's Cliff. When Elnina and Lanino are about to be reunited, it is revealed that Rouxls Kaard has begun dating whichever Darkner left the battle first. Awkwardly, the three form a throuple.
After the players escape Tenna, the new throuple appears on the set of the cooking show, and Rouxls initiates a battle upon learning the fact that, despite being in a relationship with Tenna's highest subordinates, their positions and power do not extend to himself. In the last phase of the battle, Lanino and Elnina will fight alongside Rouxls. Afterwards, the two will admit that they had only entered a throuple with Rouxls because they wanted to date each other again, but both Darkners thought the other was interested in Rouxls. Elnina and Lanino reconcile completely and decide to leave Rouxls, stating that the latter is "hot but really weird."
If Starwalker was spoken to in Chapter 1, he joins the couple as their new third after the battle, and the three exit on the right side of the screen.
In their final appearance of Chapter 3, Elnina and Lanino quit working for Tenna, being some of the final Darkners to do so. However, the weather channel is still featured in Tenna's battle, which could be due to legal contracts.
Chapter 4[]
If both Lanino and Elnina were recruited during Chapter 3, they can be fought at the newly-renamed Love Dojo, where the prize for winning is an Exec Buffet. If one of the two reach 0 health, the fight is won and immediately stops.

Trivia[]
- Her and her partner's names are likely based on El Niño and La Niña, the warming and the cooling phases of the Southern Oscillation.
- When a lampshade is featured in the final attack of their Chapter 4 rematch, both remark how it made the attack stronger, but they didn't like how it felt (with some uncertainty). This is because the lampshade is supposedly Rouxls.
