Trivia

  • Elisabeth's last name is intended to mean white torch in French, matching with her main powers. However, the place of the adjective is incorrect and the grammatical gender of the term torch is wrong; the actually correct way to say white torch in French would be "Torche blanche". Blanctorche is an example of Franponais. The names of her special moves are also in French.
  • She makes a cameo in the fourth and final episode of The King of Fighters: Another Day.
  • Elisabeth and Vice have the second largest bust measurement of all KOF females (90 cm), behind Shermie from the New Faces Team and Angel (both 92cm), followed by Blue Mary and Mature (both 88 cm).
