Elsa Zazic

Elsa Zazic is a character who appears in Speed Racer: The Next Generation. She is the niece of Zile Zazic and Annalise's cousin. She appears in the episode "The Dance," where Zile enlisted her in a scheme to steal the Mach 6. In return for her cooperation/success, she would be granted permanent residence in the United States.

Biography
Elsa is Annalise's cousin who was sent away to Germany after dragging down the Zazic name due to her numerous carjackings. The Zazic family tried to cover up her crimes, but it became an impossible task as she continued to steal other peoples' vehicles. Being sent away to Germany was a form of punishment by Zile to rid of Elsa's presence, thus, protecting the Zazic name from being tarnished.

She was brought back to the United States by Zile after she agreed to help him steal the Mach 6 from Speed. When she failed, Zile immediately sent her back to Germany.

Relationships
Speed Racer Jr:

Elsa was Speed's date for the Racer Academy school dance. Though, acting as a cover to steal the Mach 6, Elsa seemed to thoroughly enjoy Speed's company.

Annalise Zazic:

Elsa is warm welcoming to Annalise, but Annalise does not return the favor. Annalise sees Elsa as a little "Ms. Perfect" and dislikes Elsa for her actions in putting the Zazic name in jeopardy.

Zile Zazic:

Zile despises Elsa for her crimes that put the Zazic name in trouble with the public. He was willing to forgive all actions by Elsa had she successfully stolen the Mach 6. With her failure, Zile immediately sent Elsa back to Germany while giving a rage-inducing rant to an associate handling Elsa's transportation.

Lucy:

Lucy is jealous of Elsa for taking Speed to the dance, but grows suspicious of Elsa's intentions. Her suspicions are confirmed when Annalise informs Lucy of Elsa's past.

Trivia

 * She puts on a fake German accent to act in her role as a German exchange student.
 * She drives a car similar to Annalise's Spoiled Brat.
 * She caught the attention of many guys at Racer Academy.
 * She was invited to participate in Zile's scheme because Speed turned down Annalise's offer to be her date for the school dance.
 * Zile claimed she was efficient for the job of swindling Speed for the Mach 6.
 * She appears to be a pretty decent driver, as she held her own pretty well in the virtual track and even beat Annalise.
 * "The Dance" is the last we see/hear about Elsa.
 * Due to Speed and his friends altering the timeline during the "Family Reunion" arc, it's strongly possible that Elsa was never sent away to Germany due to Zile being arrested (earlier in life) for his attempted sabotage of prototype Mach 6.
