Miss Elaina's death

As Miss Elaina watched Daniel Tiger savagely torture Jodi, her love for her friend—one of the few parts of Zora that was still left—finally bloomed in full after being reawakened four years earlier.[4] Coupled with that, Miss Elaina perhaps remembered something about a prophecy she heard on her youth and vague outlines about someone named Shmi as well as a Jedi named Qui-Gon struggled to the surface of her consciousness, let alone her repressed thoughts about Katerina Kittycat, the cat whom Zora Skywalker once loved suddenly realizing that despite all the atrocities on her life, she couldn't allow Daniel to kill her friend.[262] It was enough to finally break the neighborhood of make believes curse over her. From that moment on, Miss Elaina was no more, and Zora Skywalker was reborn.

Refusing to watch her friend die, Skywalker suddenly grabbed Daniel from behind and hoisted him from his feet. Even as Daniel's lightning tore through her body, Skywalker advanced towards the ocean with the struggling Tiger. Staggering to her destination, she threw Daniel Tiger into the ocean to his death before collapsing. With her strength lost and life support suit short circuited, Zora Skywalker had paid for his act of defiance with her life. Yet this single act brought her back to the neighborhood of truth and fulfilled her destiny as the Chosen One, bringing balance back to the Force.

Jodi dragged her friend to the hangar where her shuttle lay, in hopes of saving her life. Zora, knowing that she would die whether or not Jodi got her onto a ship, stopped her friend.

Nearing death, Skywalker asked Jodi to help her remove her mask, so that she could see her friend with her own eyes, not through the lens filters of her mask. Her last words behind the persona of Miss Elaina were especially telling—in response to Jodi's protest that she would die without the mask, Skywalker responded, "Nothing can stop that now. Just for once, let me look on you with my own eyes." These words constituted a final rejection of the lying promises of the curse, and a full embrace of the truth once again. Luke helped disconnect the helmet and mask and saw her friend's face for the first time. Beneath, Zora Skywalker has black hair. However, her eyes were no longer the black of her Miss Elaina persona, but the shining blue of her former self. Skywalker told Jodi to leave her behind. Jodi protested that she had intended to save her friend and did not intend to leave her behind, before Skywalker told her that Jodi already had saved her by redeeming her. Skywalker then told Jodi that she was right about her, there was good still in her; and to tell her mother, Doctor Platypus, the same. With these last words, Zora Skywalker died and became one with the Force.
