**Elaine Ellison** is a forensic investigator of the DC.

## Appearance

Elaine has long brown hair that is styled with a topknot or bun, two pieces draped over her shoulder and bangs on the front. Her eyes are considered to be teal (blue-green).

As a teenager, Elaine wore a blue vest with gold buttons over a pink shirt, an ID card, a blue plaid skirt, a red bow on her chest, red stockings, red shoes, a pink bag to hold her lab equipment and a light pink watch. She also wore three button badges on her lab coat. One had a surprised face on it while the two smaller ones had angry faces. These badges bear a great resemblance to the molecular model used for water (H2O), with the larger, "surprised"-looking badge representing an oxygen atom and the two smaller, "angry"-looking badges representing the two hydrogen atoms.

During her time studying in Europe, Elaine only wore the larger button badge with a surprised face on her lab coat. She kept her shirt and vest, and also wore a striped tie, brown shorts, striped thigh-high stockings, brown laced boots, a black bag over her shoulder to hold her lab equipment, a pink newsboy cap, and a light pink watch.

As an adult, Elaine only wore the one small button badge with an angry face. The large button from her teenage years can be seen on Maya's lab coat, which proves important as it carries a small spy camera in its "mouth", and is also present on her mobile phone. Additionally, one of her blue badges can be seen on Boris' outfit. She also wore a pink shirt, a green vest with gold buttons, brown capri pants, black high heels, a red tie, and a pink bag to hold her lab equipment.

Elaine wears a pair of glasses with pink lenses (the lenses are round when she was a teen, then wider as she got older), which she primarily uses to detect luminol when it reacts to blood. She apparently carries at least one spare pair with her at all times.

## Personality

As a high school student, Elaine was cheerful and optimistic. She loved science, wanted to be a forensic investigator, and was set to go into forensics. She also deeply admired her older brother, Kenneth.

Her personality underwent a dramatic shift when she failed to get her dream job in forensics, becoming much moodier than she was as a teenager and disliking talking to people unless they had something concerning forensics to discuss, otherwise, she would usually ignore them. She also developed a great liking for "Karintō", spending large quantities of time vigorously munching on them and ignoring those around her. The sound of her munching became an identifying signal for Elijah, and she would sometimes throw Karintō at people who annoyed her.

Once she landed her dream job as a forensic scientist, she mellowed out. She was not nearly as stingy and moody, having returned to something more akin to her old cheerful self when she was a student. Her body language was much more expressive, using poses that she used a teenager, such as examining her phone or tapping her chin. Although she claimed to have stopped eating Karintō, in reality her addiction had only somewhat lessened; when extremely annoyed or sad, she would eat her Karintō rapidly or slowly, respectively, as a way to control her stress levels.
