“Endure and survive”

-Ellie

A nineteen-year-old survivor, Ellie is "mature beyond her years" as a result of the circumstances of her environment, and after being bitten by an infected, is revealed to be immune to the Cordyceps. With the Fireflies believing that could make a vaccine, Marlene tasks Joel and Tess to take Ellie across the states to reach St. Mary's hospital in Salt Lake City. During her journey, Ellie forms a bond with Joel, who becomes her surrogate father and protector. In the sequel, Ellie swears vengeance against the group that murdered Joel, traveling to Seattle where her morality is tested for her pursuit.

Early life

Ellie was born between January and April of 2019 to an Unnamed Man and Anna, during the fungal epidemic that was spreading across America. Anna entrusted Marlene to protect and watch over Ellie when she died, but Ellie would meet Marlene when she was thirteen years old. Ellie grew up in the Military Quarantine Zone of Boston, Massachusetts, and didn't learn of the previous life before the epidemic.
