Personality
Elm is described by her voice actress, Dawn M. Bennett, as being a "big buff lady with a heart of gold.", illustrating she has a very kind and good nature.

She appears to be somewhat overzealous, such as when she rushed to Ruby and stated how bad she felt not knowing who she was when her team arrested her and her friends, all while shaking the girl's hand with enough force to make her flap about like she was nothing, and leaving her dazed.

Abilities and Powers
Elm is a skilled fighter as she is in the Atlesian Special Operatives unit, the most elite group of Huntsmen and Huntresses in Remnant.

Befitting her size and build, Elm possesses a high level of strength, able to swing her massive hammer with earth shattering force.

RWBY
Elm and her team were been called in to Mantle because of reports of a stolen Atlesian airship entering its airspace and because of the unauthorized use of weapons by civilians. The culprits were Team RWBY, Jaune, Nora, Ren, Qrow and Oscar, who defended the city from a pack of Sabyrs. Elm and her team caught the group by surprise and seized their weapons before leaving them in the custody of the authorities.
