Ellen was born on Nepleslia in YE 15, and grew up a fairly normal life, with constant parental care, proper schooling, and the like. When Tami was colonized, Ellen's family emigrated there as colonists, seeking a safer place than Nepleslia itself. This proved to be fairly true until YE 28, when the SMX first attacked, but the family weathered the storm and remained on the planet they had decided to call their home. However, in YE 31, the NMX attacked, destroying the family home and killing Ellen's parents. Ellen was assumed dead along with them, but, in YE 34, when the Fifth fleet liberated Tami, she was found. Drawing on the leftovers from her family's finances, Ellen bough herself a shuttle and a car and headed off to make a life for herself in the wider world.

In truth, Ellen HAD been killed on Tami along with her family, however, her town's ST backup pod had been captured by the Mishhuvurthyar. In YE 34, one Aerin Tatst had found out about the deceased girl and assumed her identity in order to track down a Mishhu adversary whom had been threatening Origin Industries, however, Aerin's original body was captured by the Mishhu, and circumstances led to Ellen's ST backup being transferred into the imposter body. The two spent several months sharing the body, before Aerin was able to find her original body and transfer back into it, leaving Ellen in her own body.

Ellen suffered from mental backlash, discovering that some of Aerin's personality had seeped into her own, but with Aerin being gone it left gaps in Ellen's mind. After a year of time to herself (supported by Aerin Tatst), Ellen had finally regained enough of herself to move on with her life. As a gift, Ellen was given a shuttle, a hovercar, and a few other items by Aerin, in order to help kickstart the young woman's life.

With her new possessions, Ellen decided to find a crew and explore the Galaxy for herself, while trying to provide for herself as much as she could. In doing so, she became a busy courier and part time deliveryman, which brought her to Francia, where she was briefly involved with the ISC Phoenix and crew, though after a few short events, Ellen parted ways with the famous crew and moved on to a more mundane life, flitting back and forth across the Kikyo sector.

After nearly a decade of living the wandering life of a gig worker who owned her own shuttle, Ellen is finally looking into getting involved with bigger things, and has been saving up to buy a larger starship to replaces her aging, well-used Starbryte shuttle.

Ellen has a variety of useful skills, but isn't exactly an expert in any of them.

Ellen is a decent pilot. She learned how to fly a shuttle on a simulator when she was younger, and has had some training since being rescued from Tami being resurrected from an ST Backup.

Ellen is no stranger to surviving on limited resources, and is an expert of making the best of what she's got. She can survive in various conditions and environments, including urban ones. As part of her survival skillset, she has learned how to sneak, hide, and otherwise act covertly, and make use of her surroundings to blend in.

Ellen is capable of fixing things, having spent several years making use of disused items that were discarded when Tami was evacuated. she can make something do something it was not intended to do, though these items may not always last as long as purpose built machines.

Ellen has had a crash course in getting stubborn machines and equipment to work. Most of what she knows is 'percussive maintenance', or rather, hitting things in the hopes of making it work. However, Ellen does have formal training in basic starship engineering and mechanics, and can generally make repairs on Origin equipment.

Ellen is a very active person, and knows how to use her small body very effectively for just about any purpose. She is in very good shape and can sustain activity for quite a long while.
