Bio
THE CURE
Life hasn't been kind to Ellie. Her mother died days after she was born. Her life in a military boarding school in Boston was hard and it wasn't made easier when both her and her best friend Riley became infected with the cordyceps virus. This was when Ellie discovered by incredible luck that she was immune to the deadly disease. Following a tumultuous journey with Joel Miller, it seemed like Ellie finally had a life worth living in Jackson, Wyoming. Yet that is no longer the case. Now she is haunted by the ghosts of the past. Joel, her girlfriend Dina, all those she left behind in Jackson as well as those she killed in pursuit of revenge. Her lack of control left her isolated and alone, scarred permanently. Yet, she still lives. She keeps on moving forwards. No matter how many times she gets kicked down, she finds a reason to keep moving. No one is quite sure why that is, not even her. But it makes taking her down a next to impossible task.
Intro
Walking through a forest on your own at night wasn't advisable, nor had it been since the pandemic began. But that's what Ellie found herself doing. She hadn't quite found respite ever since her revenge quest ended in failure. "It's been four months now. I still can't shake that feeling. But I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I can't face Tommy and Maria again...or Dina. I have to clear my mind. I don't know why, but I've been dreaming about this place for a while now. A place where I see all kinds of people and creatures fighting each other with weapons that I didn't even think were real. No infected there either. I don't know what it means, but I feel like I have to be there. I mean, it's not like I've got anything else to do. Who knows? Maybe there I'll find the peace I want...or just more people that want to kill me."
Rival Scene
Ellie was taking cover behind a column, watching the strange primitive looking woman looking around the arena. The Seraphites were the only group she knew who dressed anything like that and if that was the case, well, there was only one thing to do... "Drop the weapon." Ellie looked to her side to see the red haired woman with her bow drawn, pointing in Ellie's direction. "How the hell did you-" "I'm perceptive." She answered the question before Ellie could even ask. "Now, drop the weapon and tell me who you are." Ellie looked at the shotgun in her hands. The way she had it pointed, it would have blown a hole in Aloy's abdomen if she fired it. A detail Aloy probably noticed but hoped Ellie didn't. "You first." Ellie offered. "I wanna know what you people are doing out this far...something must have brought you." She began to move away from the wall, keeping the shotgun trained on Aloy. "You're in a pretty good position to be asking questions." Aloy fired back. "Well truth be told, I don't care about answers. I'm happy to pull the trigger and get on my way." Ellie raised the shotgun. "Well if that's the way you feel about it then don't let me stop you."
Outro
"Well, that was something." Ellie was back on the trail again. "I'm not sure what the point of it all was, but it did help take my mind off things for a while. These days...that's a lot." The first rays of sunshine began to appear through the trees. "I guess it won't bring things back to the way they were, but there was something about that place. I didn't come away empty handed." She stopped at the top of the trail, arriving at a clearing in the forest. Looking down, she saw Jackson. The settlement she had left over a year ago. "It's not going to be easy. But I have to try." She began to emanate a blue aura as she walked towards the gates of the town. "If I don't try now, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

Author's Note
I am aware that Riley and Ellie could probably be described as girlfriends given the events of Left Behind, but since there was so little time where that was the case, I chose to use best friends instead. Please don't cancel me. Initially I was going to go with Joel and Ellie as a team entry but it was pretty untenable. In the wake of the sequel as well as Left Behind it's fairly clear that Ellie is the face of the franchise. If the second game didn't exist then these two would be a duo.
