History
Not much is known about the elder, as she has not made any appearances outside of Iris's flashbacks. It is revealed in a flashback that she was the one who gave Iris her Axew with the intent to develop his skills in Pokémon battles. She believed that Iris had the skills necessary in order to raise Axew to one day become a strong Haxorus.
The elder appears in another one of Iris's flashbacks in BW027 where she sees Iris off on her journey to become a Dragon master. She tells Iris that the journey will bring a lot of different experiences, both good and bad, but explains these experiences will be important for the growth of her and Axew. In BW033, Iris's flashback reveals the elder watching the development of the annual tournament in the Dragon Village. She witnesses Iris's battle against the Dragon Master Drayden and seems satisfied with her performance. It is unknown what type of connection she has with Drayden.
