"This is our routine. Day and night, all we do is survive; it never lets up. He tells me how these streets were crowded with people just going about their lives... must've been nice."

―Ellie

Ellie is a female character and one of two main protagonists appearing in the upcoming video game The Last of Us. She is voiced and mo-capped by Ashley Johnson.^[1]^[2] She is a 14 year old (born sometime in the year 2019) teenaged girl who, despite her age, is wise and mature beyond her years.^[3]

BiographyEdit

Early lifeEdit

Ellie is a 14 year old orphan who grew up in an oppressive military quarantine zone in Boston, Massachusetts. Ellie was born six years after the fungal pandemic spread, and has very little knowledge of the world prior to the incident. In the beginning, all she knows about Joel is that he will help her, and give her a chance to finally live.

The Last of UsEdit

Joel, a ruthless survivor, smuggles her out of the quarantine zone in Boston to bring her to a secretive group known as the Fireflies for an unknown reason, as a final request from a dying friend. ^[4]

Personality and TraitsEdit

Having been raised in an environment where modern standards and values have deteriorated, Ellie is considerably rash, impulsive, and temperamental, and doesn't faze at the notion of using violence as a means to an end or vulgarity 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. This serves as the juxtaposition to Joel's wary, morose outlook on life post-pandemic.

In addition, Ellie is also perceptibly clever and witty, and will do whatever it takes to keep Joel and herself alive. She takes orders from Joel, but all the while making it clear she doesn't "need any babysitting at all".^[5] She has a scar on her right eyebrow, though it is currently unknown when, where, or how she obtained it. Ellie, never knowing the luxuries we enjoy, is obsessed with culture from the past including music, movies, and books.^[6]

WeaponsEdit

Rifle (Seen on Cover)
Switchblade (Main Weapon)

9mm Pistol (Seen in several videos and other media)

TriviaEdit

In the beginning of The Last of Us, Joel and Ellie meet each other in a quarantine zone in Boston, 20 years after the plague originally struck.^[7]^[8]
"Ellie is a sum design of many different references", according to Naughty Dog.^[9]
The Last of Us is said not to be "one long escort mission." Players won't control Ellie, but Game Informer has stated "her AI is one of the team's primary areas of focus. In our demo she always managed to keep up, yet stay out of the way. She didn't seem to need any babysitting at all."
Ellie used to bear a striking resemblance to Canadian actress Ellen Page, who is starring in another PlayStation exclusive game, Beyond: Two Souls.
It was revealed in the Truck Ambush cinematic that Naughty Dog slightly redesigned Ellie to resemble her voice actor's appearance and personality better. She has a different shaped nose now. Naughty Dog had this to say:
- "After delving further into the game's narrative over the past few months, we decided to modify Ellie's model to better reflect Ashley's personality, and also resemble a slightly younger teen more fitting to the story. We're happy with the final result shown in the cinematic we have released today, and we hope the fans like her too." - Neil Druckmann, Creative Director
