Elle Tomkins

**Elle Tomkins** is one of the main characters in the first season of *The Society*. She is portrayed by Olivia DeJonge.

One of the outcasts of New Ham, she eventually finds comfort with Campbell Eliot as he believes that the two of them are one and the same. However, Campbell is a psychopath, and charms her enough before showing his true colors. He abuses Elle, and at one point she tries to kill him to escape their relationship. Allie Pressman tries protects her by locking her in solidarity, but Campbell "rescues" her. We are led to believe Elle is still aligned with Allie.

## Early Life

Little is known of Elle before the series, however, in a conversation with Campbell during Thanksgiving, Elle explains how her family never really celebrated Thanksgiving due to Elle's Irish history. She states that her family moved from Ireland when Elle was 4-years old.

### Season 1

Throughout the series, it has been evident that Elle felt trapped in her relationship with boyfriend Campbell, having gone through his psychotic manipulation, torment, and abuse. She believed that the only way to escape was to kill him, which, in the episode "Allie's Rules", tried to do so by making him a Thanksgiving pie made with poison.

During episode 7, New Ham decided to host a Thanksgiving feast within their local church since the respective date had been coming up. Elle insisted for Campbell to stay home with her, so she can follow through with her plans of killing him by putting anti-freeze in a pumpkin pie she baked. As she did not like pumpkin pie, Elle thought this to be a perfect plan. However, to Elle's dismay, Campbell forced her to come with him to the Thanksgiving, along with bringing the pie. Many of the residents of New Ham had eaten some of the pie, including Allie. To stop others from eating any more, Elle forced herself to eat the remaining pieces, as she did not want to be responsible for several deaths of New Ham's residents.

After leaving, Elle had gotten a seizure and locked herself in the bathroom. Campbell then took her to the hospital for treatment, where she tried to deny an IV so that she could die, an easy way to escape Campbell and her future guilt. Elle was brought to rest by Campbell, where he tells her to never try to do that ever again. She attempted to be oblivious, though Campbell saw through her. He stated that everyone was afraid of him, and now, he was afraid of her. Yet he uses the moment to tell them that they are alike.
## Relationships
