Whenever Elise gets suspected of being the witch it's usually her friends Rozenmarine, Freya, and Lebkuchen who stick up for her or comfort her, as well as the ever-hearty Gustav. That she can come to fall for her love interests in the happy endings serves to prove the key to her happiness had always been in those bonds.
Elise's care towards the kid trio. For all her snappishness towards them, she never goes beyond that and even is the first to volunteer rescuing Apfel when he goes missing in the woods.
Any of the happy endings. In a game full of otherworldly horrors, mass hysteria and tragedy, Endings 5-7 manage to provide some much-needed closure to Elise's story.
In Ending 5, "Star-crossed", Elise refuses to risk her lover Rozenmarine's safety, and turns back from the Secret Tree of Creation. Rozenmarine is rather perplexed and even slightly disappointed by this decision, since she was full of anticipation at the revealing of their respective fates, but is soon emotionally overwhelmed by Elise's heartfelt expression of love. They manage to return home without any further trouble. However, it is implied that this experience leads Rozenmarine to question her very purpose of being, since fulfilling her own destiny was the only goal she ever had in life, yet events had proven to her that fate was not as definitive as she was led to believe. Desperately needing some time to sort out her confusion, Rozenmarine quietly slips away from her supposed soulmate Elise, stealing her embroidered apron and leaving only a vague promise to return someday. Elise spends three years traveling the country on her own, yet she never forgets her love for Rozenmarine, nor the promise of their eventual reunion. Thankfully, Rozemarine finally keeps her word by returning to Elise three years after the near-fateful night in the woods. After much soul-searching, she concluded that her love for Elise was genuine, regardless of whether their shared destiny was realized or not. Moreover, Rozenmarine had adopted both an improved self-image and a more proactive attitude towards life, cleaning up her unkempt appearance with a haircut among other things, and taking up various odd jobs instead of begging. The two girls are overjoyed to be reunited, and decide to settle down together. The story ends with Rozenmarine expressing her love to a flustered Elise.
In Ending 6, "Grape Jewel", Elise refuses to risk her lover Freya's safety, and turns back from the Secret Tree of Creation. When Freya is confused by the turn of events, Elise shows her commitment to their relationship by confessing her love for Freya. They return to the village and leave for Primeldorf after the festival, with the full blessing of Freya's father Gustav and various friends. Initially lacking in financial resources, they work as maids-of-all-work much as they had in Kieferberg, but Elise is no longer resentful of such a life now that Freya was at her side. After a few years, they manage to save enough money to open a modest shop for Freya's dressmaking business. While preparing for the grand opening, Freya expresses her heartfelt gratitude towards Elise's genuine support, and regrets that Elise had to give up her own dreams of wealth and status. However, Elise reassures her that she now regarded Freya's dreams as her own, having completely let go of her past jealousy of Freya's innate talents, and proposes an ambitious plan to expand their business within Primeldorf, and eventually, across the country. The story ends with the two girls reaffirming their love for each other.
In Ending 7, "Bells of Dawn", Elise refuses to risk her lover Lebkuchen's safety, and turns back from the Secret Tree of Creation. Lebkuchen is slightly hurt by Elise's continued refusal to reveal her secret, but lets the matter drop when Elise earnestly confesses her love. The two girls leave Kieferberg together, with Gustav, Freya and other friends wishing them well. They spend the next few years on the road, enjoying their newfound freedom and each other's company, before eventually returning to Kieferberg thanks to the realization that they missed their friends and hometown. In the wake of Father Hans' death, Elise and Lebkuchen become the town's new community leaders thanks to the wealth of experience they accumulated on their journeys, and former mayor Gustav's enthusiastic support. Now employing their talents for the betterment of Kieferberg, Elise and Lebkuchen gain considerable satisfaction and the respect of fellow villagers from their work, and actually manage to turn around the town's decline. The story ends with the two girls managing to spend some quality time together in the church belltower, despite a mutually busy schedule.
