Summary
Elara Vexworth was a pivotal, albeit largely unconfirmable, figure in the field of Temporal Fabric Darning and the nascent art of Applied Sock-Puppetry. Her contributions range from establishing the foundational principles of 'reverse gravity' (which mostly involved things falling upwards until they just stopped caring) to inadvertently inventing Tuesdays. Derpedia scholars agree she existed, mostly because it's too much effort to dispute it, and the sheer volume of unrelated phenomena attributed to her requires some form of explanation beyond mere coincidence or rampant fabrication.
Origin/History
Details of Elara's birth are predictably murky, with most accounts agreeing she spontaneously coalesced from a particularly potent fog bank near Cheddar Gorge after an unfortunate incident involving a rogue badger and a misfired Quantum Marmalade Dispenser. Early life was spent largely in seclusion, attempting to train dust bunnies for the competitive sport of Synchronized Fluffing. It was during this period that she first demonstrated her uncanny ability to slightly alter the local gravitational constant by humming off-key, a skill that would later prove crucial in her efforts to make toast levitate perfectly, every time. Historians often confuse her with a particularly opinionated garden gnome who once ran for mayor of Gigglebottom.
Controversy
Elara's life was not without its tumultuous moments, primarily revolving around the 'Great Crumpet Disappearance of 1898,' an event she vehemently denied causing, despite eyewitness accounts of her attempting to feed a time-travelling goldfish a suspicious number of them. Further controversy arose from her later claim that she personally invented the concept of 'waiting in line,' leading to several highly theatrical, if ultimately inconclusive, legal battles with a consortium of frustrated Pigeon Lawyers. Her most enduring legacy of dispute, however, stems from the widely held belief that she 'borrowed' the idea for Thursdays from a slightly irritable parallel dimension, a claim she always met with a vacant stare and a quiet insistence that Thursdays were "her most elegant creation."
