Note: May contain light spoilers, but to be honest, it's obvious the moment you meet her in-game
Fourteen years old and having grown up in a sheltered environment, Ellie is a 14 year-old girl burdened with quite a hefty responsibility during a terrifying time in her life, brought to light by a single incident that she now carries with her upon her right arm in the form of quite a nasty-looking bite mark. Normally, this would've changed any human being rather rapidly into an 'infected', a person who has been mutated by the effects of a pandemic that spread violently around her home, taking the lives of many people. Now, however, she is one of the fun remaining survivors of thus outbreak with quite a vital role to play that may come to affect everyone who has ever come to face the pandemic in their lifetime. What that actual 'responsibility' is, however, she has only had hinted to her before though she is aware it relates to her immunity to the spores.
Here's what Wikipedia has to say = 3=
'Ellie was born sometime in the year 2019, six years after the spread of the fungal pandemic. As a result, she grew up in an oppressive military quarantine zone in Boston, Massachusetts with little knowledge of the world prior to the infection. For a time she was raised by her mother, Anna, then after the death of her mother, Marlene continued to look after her, a promise she made to her mother, Anna.'
For the most part, besides the wound she conceals beneath the sleeve of her long undershirt, Ellie appears to be your fairly typical fourteen year old, dressing rather casually, though all of her clothes and her appearance is somewhat hinted towards Ellie having gone a long period without getting a good clean. With short brown hair, often tied in a cute ponytail and light green eyes, she has quite a tomboyish, yet cute appearance. It could, however, be quite a startling contrast to just how foul a mouth the girl can have with her frequent usage of curse words, likely related to her time often spent around adults who spout the word 'fuck' like it's the flavor of the month.
She wears two tops, a black long-sleeved undershirt with a red t-shirt over the top, slightly worn from her various endeavors and having had no chance to change whilst she's been on the move, along with a pair of slightly ragged jeans that fit quite well down her legs. On her feet, she sports a pair of black high-top converse sneakers with treads that might suggest she's been doing alot of walking recently, with white socks beneath those.
Let's not think of them as 'dirty', though. Just flavorsome <3
As a personal preference of the player, despite the fact some might consider her to be 'filthy' (Which can be toned down a little if there's an issue), Ellie will remained clothed for vorish encounters. The very most she'll lose is one or both of her shoes if my partner is bothered by them.
