Jay and Elle are crew members on the Starship Tetra. Jay is based on the J Tetrimino, and Elle is based on the L Tetrimino.
Biography
Appearance
Jay wears a dark blue uniform with light-blue accents, as well as white boots with blue soles. Elle also wears a similar outfit, the only difference is that it has maroon-brown colors with light-red accents. Jay sports a haircut with periwinkle-colored straight hair that reaches their shoulders, while Elle has light-lime curly hair that is a similar length. They are based off the L and J Tetris pieces.
Personality
The two share a common interest in pulling off pranks and generally causing mischief. They also tend to complete the other's sentence, or at least rephrase it in a different order. While they appear to be inseparable, they often blame each other when losing a battle.
Abilities
Jay & Elle's spells are mostly themed after tricks, akin to their personality, and twins, such as Double Mischief, Symmetry Strike, Synchronized Attack, Twin Hijinks, and Ultimate Illusion.
They are stated to have extrasensory powers in Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 that are triggered when they hold hands. According to Tee, they've saved the crew and the ship from various disasters several times.[1]
Like Harpy and Yu & Rei, they line up the sides of the playing field with puyo at the beginning of a match, if Puyo Puyo is selected for their AI.
Relationships
- Ai
- The two enjoy teasing Ai, pulling pranks on him, and generally scaring him. The two do seem to share some affection for him, and he returns in kind, but this is rarely shown.
History
Puyo Puyo Tetris
Jay & Elle make their first appearances in Chapter 1-5. They are first shown teasing a scarred Ai, until Tee, Ringo, and Amitie arrive. They tell Tee that they weren't the ones who scarred Ai, and that it was a little yellow guy and a strange girl (Carbuncle and Arle).
When Ringo and Tee reunite with Zed in Chapter 2, he reveals to them that Jay & Elle were trying to cause as much mischief as they could, before wandering off. Tee and Ringo find Jay & Elle challenging each other to see who can cause more trouble at the Suzuran Shopping District. After they are defeated in a battle, they reveal that the real reason they wandered off was because of two individuals who wanted to cause mayhem, who are soon revealed to be Raffina and Rulue, suffering adverse affects from the impending merge of the Puyo Puyo and Tetris worlds.
After this chapter, Jay & Elle mostly just butt in on conversations, like when Arle and Ringo are thinking about the Dark Prince and Ecolo, believing that they are the 'two nasty and cruel people' being referred to.
Jay & Elle show up during Chapter 10 when Ex asks for a fun dream. Ex tells them that he doesn't have time for them right now. While he enjoys the fact the the two of them liven things up, he also tells them that sometimes, they should just leave things peaceful and quiet. In response, the two of them try gifting Ai to Ex as a present. The two twins flee after a battle.
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2
Jay & Elle are introduced in Chapter 2 in a similar manner to the first game, teasing Ai in the greenhouse room. This time, they withhold information about why Ai was so scarred, until Tee plays a game of Tetris with them. They reveal that it was an "eerie presence" (Marle) that caused Ai to get scarred.
During the chapter's side story, the two twins help Ess and the other members of the SS Tetra track down where Tee and O went.
In Chapter 4, Jay & Elle are the first ones to reveal that Marle is being controlled. They are also involved in helping Marle regain her memories by having a "battle of passion" with Ai. Outside of these scenarios, they are usually relegated to miscellaneous battles, like when they challenge Sig during the "Teenage Heartthrob" competition in Chapter 5.
Trivia
- Unlike other Tetris-based characters, Elle's color scheme does not exactly reference the Tetrimino they're based on. However, it may be said that their suit color is a dark version of orange.
- Since Jay & Elle are never referred to individually, their genders are never explicitly clarified. However, they are able to activate both boys and girls combinations in Puyo Puyo!! Quest, implying they are one male and female each. It is impossible to tell which individual gender they are, as gender is not defined entirely by appearance and voice.
- The scenario writer for Puyo Puyo Tetris has written a few tweets about the Tetris Crew on her Twitter that offer extra tidbits about the characters:
- Their favorite foods would be stimulating things like crunchy ice cream, carbonated drinks, or "watapachi", a kind of Japanese cotton candy that has crackling candy in it.[2][3]
- Jay and Elle's extrasensory powers were not mentioned in Puyo Puyo Tetris and only explicitly stated in the sequel, but Yoshino made a Tweet referencing their powers in a post talking about the crewmembers' roles on the ship prior to Puyo Puyo Tetris 2's release.[3]
Alternate Voices
- In Puyo Puyo Tetris, in both languages, they sound depressed.
- Their alternate Japanese voice has both of then apologizing to each other when they lose a battle. This does not apply in the English dub, however.
- In Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, they sound dark and mysterious.
- In the English version, most of their voice clips are reused from their English Alternate Voices from Puyo Puyo Tetris, and their new voice clips retain the same tone.
