Aelita Hopper

Aelita is the "Princess" (see Trivia section below) and sole known inhabitant of the virtual world of Lyoko. Aelita is originally from Earth, but was sent to Lyoko by Franz Hopper (her father) to avoid being captured by government agents. XANA then took her human memories from her, leaving her with the impression that Lyoko was the only home she had ever known. She was originally there alone, with only XANA to keep her company (if you could consider it company).

On Lyoko, Aelita wears a pink mini skirt and a matching top that go over pants and a long shirt that are both off-white, with maroon gaiters that wrap around them, and matching shoes. In her right ear is a small earring.

On Earth, her outfit has changed in the transition from the first season to the second. In the first season, she had a maroon skirt, yellow shirt and pink jacket (in The Key, this is shown to be the outfit she was wearing when she was first virtualized). In the second season, Aelita wears a pink jumper dress over a hoodie and knee socks. Her night clothes consist of white socks and an oversized pink t-shirt with a red letter A on the front.

On Lyoko she doesn't necessarily fight or use weapons, but instead enters the code "Lyoko" into the towers to deactivate them and stop whatever attack XANA has unleashed on the real world. If worse comes to worse, she can manipulate her environment by singing, which can make it harder for enemies to gun her down. Unfortunately, that move costs her half of her life points, limiting her use of it to no more than twice per episode with the exception of Saint Valentine's Day.

It is said that Aelita first contacted Jeremie through an S.O.S. call that was intended for someone on our end to intercept and help stop XANA. Whether or not this is true is unconfirmed, but will be revealed in an OAV movie that will be released sometime during the next season in 2006.

Aelita is in love with Jeremie, finding his intelligence and knowledge attractive (this is because of a possible Elektra complex). They often spend time talking about the real world, of which she knew little about at first, and finds it fascinating and wondrous. The affection is reciprocated by Jeremie; the two are more open to each other than Yumi and Ulrich have been to date, but they have, so far, never said that they loved each other.

On Earth, Aelita tells people she's Odd's cousin from Canada and adopts the last name of Stones. Aelita's last name might originate from the Rosetta Stone. The Rosetta Stone was found by French soldiers who were rebuilding a fort in Egypt. Code: Lyoko was created by a French company. The Rosetta Stone led to the modern understanding of hieroglyphs, or the Egyptian alphabet, which previously was not understood, by creating a bridge of understanding with two different languages, Greek and Egyptian. This is somewhat similar to what Aelita does, but with reality and virtual-reality; or humans and machines. Jeremie, a French boy, discovered Aelita alone in Lyoko. Aelita is both human and virtual. Lyoko is an unknown and misunderstood place to humans, like Egypt was originally to the French. Aelita is the savior and bridge of understanding between humans and machines, much like the Rosetta Stone. Also, a rose is a type of flower that often comes in the color pink, a color Aelita is associated with and wears often.

Alternatively, with her enjoyment of creating music, she might have gotten the surname Stones from the Rolling Stones. This is suggested in the first episode of the second season, when she reminds Jim of her "last name," and explains that it is "like the rock group."
