Also she is half Asian due to the appearance of her eyes and they are dark brown and she wears pink earrings in both ears. She wears a red scarf around her neck and wears a light blue jacket along with cream shorts and red boots. and to finish off she has a half green pink fanny pack on her hips.
After she escapes from the Sprites she ends up with short hair. She ends up covered in dirt and a few bruises on her face and loses her fanny pack.
== Personality ==
During the short it is shown that she has a good personality, kind, loving, funny and with a good heart, although somewhat clumsy. This personality causes some of her classmates to take advantage of her for their own purposes, but that doesn't seem to matter to her, proving that she is helpful. 
She acts as the voice of reason as she reminded her classmates that they were not there to have fun but to do a nature project and tried to reason with her classmates about not trying to capture a Sprite. 
In addition, all this showed her to be a great lover of nature since she helped a bird that was stuck. And even though the Sprites tried to kill her for trying to help her companions, she tried to warn them to back off since she didn't want to hurt them, but the Sprites still forced her. 
Despite being clumsy, she proves to be capable of defending herself and surviving nature since thanks to her knowledge about nature she managed to save herself thanks to Phil's salty food by killing several Sprites and slicing several with the salty meat stick. 
== History ==
Ellie among four other rowdy teens, were on a class assignment in some forest to study nature. When they came across a tribe of small creatures called sprites who initially seemed friendly. However, Ellie noticed some sprites with shoe covered in what look like blood although she shook it off. Later on the following night, Ellie awoke to find that her classmates had vanished only then did she discover the sprites near a bonfire with Phil who they killed off-screen and burned his body. Ellie soon found her other classmates tied up, as she rescues them the sprites realized she was helping those who'd been cruel to nature thus attacked them for the teens all ran. Ellie got her hand nicked by a sprite with a thorny twig and grabbed with spiders where she then used a Swiss Army knife to cut off her hair. She tried to reach her knife but the sprites grabbed hold of it and chased after her.
Meanwhile, as all the other classmates are killed by the sprites, Ellie survived thanks to her love of nature. she almost makes to the tree log bridge but more sprites get in her way. Luckily, Ellie learned the spites vulnerable towards salt which she uses from Phil's backpack as an act of defence and fought off dozens of spites. Nearly home free, Ellie struggled when the elder spite stood in her way and he was about to assassinate her when thankfully she had been saved by a bird that pooped on him. Elle immediately crossed back over the tree which began to fall down the cliff below. Fortunately, Elle was able to grab hold of the branch with her waist pouch to swing across as the tree log bridge is destroyed between both her home and the sprites' and therefore prevents anymore future passengers from entering into their territory. 
While implied to have been completely traumatized and scarred from her experience with the sprites, Ellie had immediately left out of the forest as she was the only one who escaped from them barely. She was not seen again and it is unknown what happened to her afterwards.
