Character Name: Ellie
Canon Character | The Last of Us
Location: Kraw
Character Behavior
Canny defines Ellie’s way of being. She might fumble her words in a conversation, but she always has a line between point A and point B. Sometimes this is situational, and involves navigating a deal, and sometimes this is situational and involves navigating combat. She can be effective in either.
Opportunist is the other side of her, the grittier side. When she’s in combat she can pop up from behind something when you thought she was in front of you, or you might turn around to meet her and then feel an arrow sink into your shoulder. …similarly she’s always on the lookout for chances in conversation, or in life.
Physical Description:
Character History:
What’s there to say? A kid alone in the wild world has to find their way somehow or other. Some of them wallow in the gutters, and some of them don’t make it at all. That’s no kind of life, though. Especially not for a girl with a spark, a tenacity, and a survival instinct.
A couple of side hustles, a love for the uncharted, and a knack for ruin diving led Ellie Williams into a life of treasure hunting, and occasionally more. She’s out to make her own way, whatever it takes, and wherever it takes her.
While she’s a hair shy of her mid twenties, she’s seasoned like fine dining, and there’s nothing off the table in the way of adventure and hunting when it comes to Ellie and the world of Kraw. A hunter needs their fortune, right?

The forests of Kraw take no prisoners, and they leave no lackluster students either. Spelunking, ruin diving, and otherwise gallivanting across the surface of Kraw has left Ellie with a unique skill-set. She is nimble with quick reflexes, which allow her to react to things with snapshot clarity and perform physical feats that can only come to the agility endowed.
Stealth is a specialty of hers as well. In a shadowy environment, tall grass, or even an urban landscape she can tuck away in unique and creative ways that render her unseen. What is more unusual still is the way she can creep along as she does so - she is nearly indiscernible to the naked ear, and only the most trained listeners can detect her movements.
With her skill at stealth comes an intrinsic knowledge of the stealth of others, allowing Ellie to hone in on otherwise concealed quarries. She can see what might otherwise be unseen, and hear even the slightest disturbance of sound made by someone or something with equivalent skills to her own.
Sometimes the landscapes and structures of Kraw are a greater obstacle than anticipated, and can leave the inexperienced traveler victim to their impenetrable defenses. A scavenger like Ellie, however, evolves and adapts. She can use a hybrid system, self-taught, of climbing and parkour to traverse otherwise untraversable terrain at a pace that doesn’t hinder her travels.
A hunter like Ellie doesn’t let the world get them down. Neither do they allow little things like nasty wounds to stop them in their tracks! As such, Ellie is able to power through some pretty grievous injuries through force of will. An ugly injury can and will slow her down, but she’s able to work through a lot of the pain with determination to accomplish what she sets her mind to.
Lastly, when an injury does push the needle in the wrong direction just a little too far, she knows how to throw together what she needs to jam it back into the green…or at least the yellow. A couple of rags, maybe some alcohol or something, and she can clean out and bandage a wound enough that it isn’t quite as critical as it was to start with. …she’s no Florence Nightingale, though.

Damage - Rank 4 (400)
Modifiers:
+Ranged (200)
Total Essence Cost: 600
Ellie carries around a Beretta 92FS Inox with wooden grips. It’s well oiled, well kept, and pristine. It’s also never far from hand. She always keeps a decent amount of cartridges in her pack - after all, isn’t it hard enough out there when you’re not running out of ammo? It packs a whallop, regardless.

Damage - Rank 5 (500)
Modifiers:
+Ranged (250)
Total Essence Cost: 750
When a pistol is going to make too much noise, an arrow might do the trick. Plus, a bullet might pass right through…an arrow to the gut just doesn’t quit.

Master Skills:
Knowledge (Weapons Expert) - Rank 5 (250)
Ellie knows her way around a weapon. She can clean and care for a firearm, instinctually attune herself to a bow, or wield an environmental melee weapon with the best of them.
Knowledge (Farm Animals) - Rank 5
Guns aren’t this girl’s only friends - she’s spent a fair amount of time tending to livestock as well. Ellie can care for and groom most animals one would find on the standard run of the mill farm.
Knowledge (Ruin Exploration) - Rank 5
This is the good stuff, the stuff that separates the real spelunkers from the riff raff. Ellie has combed through ruins and is good at it, but more than that, she has a knack for it, and a love for it as well. It just makes sense to her.
Knowledge (Scavenging) - Rank 5
See that tile on the ground? What about the one next to it? Ever wonder how you could throw those things together and make something useful out of them? Have you ever looked at a building, and your mind went right to what was in the cupboard or the drawers? That’s how a master scavenger thinks. That’s how Ellie thinks.
Knowledge (Farming) - Rank 5
Farmers know more than animals. They know crops, and they know seasons. They know dirt, soil, and the way the weather will impact things.

Survival (Navigation) - Rank 5 (250)
Kraw speaks its own language. The way its ecosystem works, the direction one might catch the wind blowing, the stars in the sky at night, the sun and the moon - they can all speak to the right listener. Ellie is the right listener, and can navigate the planet based on its intricacies. …she usually carries a map, too.
Survival (Camping) - Rank 5
Man, who doesn’t like roughing it? Some folks can’t get enough of it. Ellie knows her way around a campfire, and how to survive for long periods of time without the luxury of civilization. She might not smell like a rose when she comes back from a long excursion, but she finds her own form of comfort out there.
Survival (Hunting) - Rank 5
A girl with the right skills will never go without in the wilderness, and who doesn’t like meat?
Survival (Fishing) - Rank 5
…but even the most seasoned carnivore gets bored of repetition, so Ellie keeps herself honed at fishing, too. Plus, casting a line gives one a lot of time to think.
Survival (Tracking) - Rank 5
Someone can pass right through the woods and never see what the trees, the brush, and the forest floor are trying to tell them - just like some folks can roam around in the woods and never realize the evidence they’re leaving behind. Then there’s others, folks who can see a snapped twig and configure the direction the thing they’re looking for went.

Crafting (Ammunition) - Rank 3 (150)
Shaving a stick into an arrow and stringing it to a bow is a skill, and one she has practiced and used more than once.
Crafting (Improvised Explosives) - Rank 3
Some societies leave a lot behind in their ruins. The seasoned searcher might find what they need in the nooks and crannies of an abandoned building, the corner of a dilapidated stone wall, or in the garbage can in an alley. An even more seasoned searcher can take what they find and fashion it into a short range pipe bomb, or a whizbang that just emits a noise. Either can be helpful.
Crafting (Medical Supplies) - Rank 3
Some rags, some booze, some water, and a stick can make a more effective first aid kid than most people realize.
Crafting (Pencil Sketching) - Rank 3
One of Ellie’s secret joys that she rarely shares is the small joy of scribbling an entry into her journal and pairing it with a good sketch. …now, if only she could get the eyes right…
Crafting (Alert Equipment) - Rank 3
It’s hard to sleep easy out there. Hell, it’s hard to sleep easy anywhere...but rigging up your campsite with tripwires, aluminum cans, and glass might help. After all, isn’t knowing when someone’s sneaking up to slash your throat the real peace of mind?
