Ellie is considerably rash, foul-mouthed, impulsive, and temperamental, and is unfazed by the notion of using violence as a means to an end or profanity as a way of expressing how she feels. However, she manages to maintain a particular innocence as she has yet to see the darkest sides of human nature, and retains a palpable trust in people. She is clever, witty, and does whatever it takes to keep herself and others alive. Ellie has short, auburn hair and green eyes. She is a lesbian.
