Aelita Schaeffer, the virtual girl, is the final addition to the team, a useful asset due to her abilities to access and control Lyoko's inner workings.

Whenever it attacks, the Warriors Lyoko must fight back while also keeping their real-life safe from the destruction caused due to XANA's attacks.
