♤ Name: Ellie.♤ Alias: Baby girl or kiddo, though she accepts that only from Joel.
♤ Age: 19 years old.
♤ Gender: Female.
♤ Sexual Orientation: Bisexual.
♤ Faction: Survivor.
♤ Role: The cure.
♤ Location: Living in the wilderness out of Boston.
♤ Physical Description: Ellie is from a Caucasian race, she's graced with beauty from such a young age. She possesses bright green eyes with irises that at times shifts different colors in the sunlight. Her hair is in a medium length, usually made into a ponytail, her hair is colored red-brown and she's around 5 ft 3 in 160cm. She has a scar on her eyebrow that stands out upon closure. She possesses a few outfits in her backpack that she change into, either wearing a plaid zipper jacket, black and red with a grey shirt underneath along with her backpack that she never leaves behind as it carries her personal belongings.
♤ Personality: Ellie is consumed by many layers of personality traits and upon being raised in an environment where modern standards and values have deteriorated, she's got a foul mouth on her, she's rash and temperamental. But that's not quite it, she's not afraid to use violence in order to express how she feels, a harsh act to keep and it often pushes people off her and possibly that is what she wants to happen. She's the one who's not afraid to stand up to someone, she's overly brave that it can be considered stupid or impulsive, but she possesses the impulsive and reckless streak of her youth from an early age on. Although her foul mouth might fool you, thinking that she had lost her innocence, that's not true. She was able to maintain her innocence and that's because she didn't view the darkest side of the world where people manipulate their ways under the people's skins to get what they need out of them, she doesn't know that the world that is being shared by the infected is harsher than before and it was never the infected's fault. She's a quick-thinker, clever and witty and that only helped keep her alive for so long during the infection and the fall of the world around her. She'll do whatever she can to keep herself and Joel alive and away from harms, she's the type to follow orders because she wants to and that shows when she follows Joel's orders, but she made it pretty clear that she's making the decision with clear conscious and not because she's forced to do so, she's very capable of protecting herself and she is in no need of having a babysitter around her, at all. She's excited about the outside world, all thanks to her confinement to the quarantine zone during her childhood which took away her sight of the outside world and now she's able to roam freely, she's in complete awe. Also, she takes justice into her own hands and doesn't wait for others to do that for her, she hates the feeling of being useless and because of that, adults have a hard time noting Ellie as a child because of her strong acts.
♤ Alignment: At first, she's very hostile, considering that she's the cure and that she had seen the bad side of people and from what Joel told her, she stopped blindly putting her fate into the palms' of the stranger's hands, she likes it to be the other way around, but she's by no means evil, she's still innocent, but she's after protecting both Joel and herself and she can't do that if she keeps blindly trusting people that will most likely stab her in the back with her own sharp knife.
♤ Likes: Books, music, movies, comic books and video games.
♤ Dislikes: water & she has monophobia, which seems to be the case of having the undying fear of ending up alone.
♤ Strengths: stealth, good at using bows & arrows along with switchblades and guns.
♤ Weaknesses: not being able to swim, low combat skills but she is able to fight but not quite able to take down a full-grown man without struggling,
♤ H I S T O R Y
" Tell them that Ellie is the little girl that broke your fucking finger! "
Once upon a time, in a quarantine zone far from prying eyes and grabby hands of the fungus, Ellie was born into an oppressive military safe-zone located in Boston, Massachusetts. Due to being born during the infection and prior to that, she knew a little close to none about the world outside the protective walls of the zone. With a father she never met, her mother, a woman named Anna raised her and protected her under her wing before the world took her away from Ellie and Marlene promised to take care of the little girl and keep her under her own care, though the promise didn't carry out as planned as Ellie never really met Marlene until she was at the ripe age of thirteen. With the harsh rules surrounding her from every side and observant eyes glancing at her side of story and how she had almost no one around her, she started to learn how to be self-servant and takes justice into her own hands, she hates being looked after, she doesn't need a babysitter to mark each step after her and that's how she developed her self-parenting trait, learning not to rush to anyone for her in any matters, whatsoever.
That changed when Riley came around though they had parted ways when both broke into a fight. She assumed the worst when her friend didn't return, but when she did, she stirred her up from her slumber by pretending that she was an infected, biting into the flesh of her own neck. She rushed awake, disturbed by the action, Ellie was also relieved that her friend was alive, but upset that she never tried to contact her. Riley soon explained that she became a firefly and with a little convincing, Ellie agreed to go out with Riley as usual and whenever they did that, they never got caught, it definitely wasn't their first time to sneak out, but Ellie wanted to stay clean and away from glances.
Also, Riley would explain why she up and left with nothing to say if she agreed to go with her, leaving school, Ellie went to an abandoned mall with her friend, they had a lot of fun with one another, from dressing up, playing with water guns that Riley can go through a lot of troubles for having, to dancing and imagining that she's playing a game even though it was out of power. During the dance they both shared, Ellie stilled completely and took matters into her own hands by leaning forward to kiss her friend. Stunned, but Riley did nothing to push Ellie away and when the girl apologized, Riley asked what she was sorry for. Their moment was long interrupted by the infected as the loud noise dragged them to their location.
In the end, both Ellie and Riley were bitten. Her friend suggested waiting it out, they can be all poetic and just lose their minds together and til this very moment, Ellie is waiting for her turn, Ellie struggled with surviving for a while, but she got herself back on the track with Marlene's help.
And once Marlene learned that Ellie was holding the cure, was holding the fate of humanity in her system, she hired smugglers to get her out of Boston before the military wipes out the fireflies completely. Joel, being one of the smugglers alongside his partner, Tess, they did it all in favors of having the guns and it was just cargo for them. Later on, Joel finds out that they were smuggling an infected girl, but Ellie swears that she was bitten a long time ago and not recently. Tess seemed to have no problem with it, whatsoever and decided to continue their path. The trio manages to reach the rendezvous point in the Capitol Building, but the only thing they are welcomed with is bodies lying across the floor, lifeless and bloody. Upon hearing the argument between Tess and Joel, she realizes what it means and it gave away that the woman was bitten and her suspicions were right, Tess was, in fact, bitten. And it proved to Joel that the bite now and the bite Ellie has is very different. The woman made a notable sacrifice by giving herself up, staying behind the fight the pursuers that followed them over. After Joel firmly dismisses any chance of bringing the sensitive subject, instead Ellie notes what she can do and otherwise.
After many difficulties that only brought her and Joel closer, forming a father and daughter bond, much to their dismay, Ellie happened to save Joel a few times and he did the same, she cared for him when he is impaled in the abdomen, throughout the winter, Ellie continued to look after him and even strikes a rough deal with a stranger that she later learns his name as David. He kidnapped her, saying it was for her own good, she woke up in a cell, watching David butcher a human body, in the end, Ellie managed to escape and put down the ones that followed after her, wishing to harm her and Joel. David tried to kill her and force himself on her which only made Ellie more determined to kill him and in the end, she stabbed him many times only to be pushed off him by Joel and into the safety of the man's arms.
The spring arrives as Joel and Ellie reach Salt Lake City, the final destination where Ellie would give herself up in order to cure others, in order to do the right thing, making a brave comment by saying it wouldn't hurt, questioning Joel about that, they would only draw blood and it would be done. She didn't come that far for nothing at all, she didn't go through hell for nothing. Sam didn't die for nothing along with his brother, along with Riley and Tessa. A lot of people died around her, it wasn't just Joel, she knew a lot about losses. She thanks Joel and tells him that she'll go through with this to the end of the line.
There, in the city, away from sights, they encounter the fireflies and Marlene immediately takes Ellie in and under her care and the research started on the little girl while Joel was held away only to be told that the vaccine they create will cost Ellie her life, but it will save millions. After Joel finally let the girl in and bonded her too much to let her go as well, disregards the decision and goes in to save Ellie, let the world be damned. When she came to her senses, Joel told her that they had found others, carrying the cure just like Ellie and he decided to take her away and go "home", take her away to safety, but Ellie didn't let it slip for too long, she, eventually, made Joel promise that he had told her the truth which left the girl to her own disbelief, choosing to believe the man instead. And now it has been five years with a few upside downs between them, but they managed to survive together.
♤ Arsenal: Bows & Arrows along with a switchblade.
♤ Equipment: Book of jokes, comic book, one medical kit and ammunition.
♤ Roleplay Example:
Ellie flipped the over-read comic book, she started to tell the actions that would happen before she flips the page which only proves that she read the story way too many times to predict it wrong or hesitate with the information her mouth will blurt out. “ Man, this is such a bore. ” Ellie huffed to herself, throwing the comic book to the mess she made around her. It has been five years which she hardly believes, five years dragging on and on with her barely noticing the difference between them. Joel and Ellie had been living with Tommy ever since he told her about the Fireflies and the dream she carried for so long had been crushed, but in a good way which she was grateful for. She also had her own horse to look after now, well, not exactly hers, but close to the memo. Close enough that she felt proud about it, she was a grown lady now as Tommy's wife labeled it, but to her own green eyes, she still looked the same only with height difference that was barely markable. Her hair had gotten longer, sure, and her eyes now carried a dark shadow that gave away her youthful looks. Her reddish-brown hair still made into a ponytail that never changed from when she was fourteen. She never forgot her dream of actually helping the world, a little withdrawal of blood never hurt anybody, right? And she has been through worse pain than a stupid needle breaking into her skin in a soft motion.
' Ellie! '
Her name echoed in her ears for a few moments which caused her to raise her head and fixate her gaze forward. “ Coming! ” She yelled, not too happily and pushed up to her own feet, stretching her arms that gave away an audible pop. She grabbed her backpack and threw the strap over her lean shoulders. Curling the loose strands before her ears around her fingers to fix them by giving them a temporary curl that would soon fall back into the usual stretch. She went out to Joel, the man who called her name to see him riding his horse with hers walking beside him. ' Figured we can scoop the places 'round, y'seemed out of books to read, hm? ' And man, she was never more glad to hear this. Zipping up her plaid sweater, she parted her plump lips. “ Ah, I've been dying to hear this! ” She said all too excitingly, riding her horse, straightening her back as she sat, making herself comfortable on top of her horse. And then the two rushed off to scoop the places around them. She missed that, actually, Tommy seemed to have everything he'd ever need which gave her a little to no reason of suggesting a run, she wanted to see the snow fall down. Everything looked different in Winter and it made the infected slow and unable to chase their way behind them which gave them more time to rush off without worrying too much. But there's always a new worry following them, it's just not visible yet.
Ellie took the chance that they didn't have a conversation yet to think about what she didn't have time to think about back in her little haven. It has been five years since the last time she found the fireflies and Marlene never tried to reach out for her ever since and the world didn't get cured and if what Joel said was true- no, it is the truth, he can't lie to her about this, he can lie to her about anything but this, her wishes and the sacrifices that happened in order to get her there can't go in vain, Riley would have wanted her to do this, she can't just fear needles and decide to be a coward, hiding away from the world because she's simply afraid. Being afraid sucks, but over winning it makes you strong and Ellie happens to like the feeling of being strong. “ Where the fuck are we going? ” Ellie spoke or most likely snapped out the question and Joel replied with his usual calm and gruff voice saying they're going to a store Tommy's men saw but didn't have time to run through. “ His loyal pets didn't scavenge it and now he wants us to do this? Man, I really forget you are brothers. ” Ellie joked, teasing the older man with a little cheeky smirk spreading over her lips.
