elfangor was my hero as a kid. he was just and patient, but in the end, he was only "human". He ran from the fight because he was tired of the politics, the fighting. he wanted a life of his own, and he reached out and took it, but he realized he had a duty and went back to it when he was needed.

He had his flaws, but it made him more endearing to me. I do think that in Andalite society he would have been labeled as odd or worse for finding a human attractive- Not really sure how Andalite society handles xenophilia, really.

I wish we had seen more of him, and that tobias had been given a chance to know him as his dad. I bet Elfangor would have been the best dad ever.
