"I'm kinda nervous, I guess."- Ellie

Ellie is a member of the Mall Rats.

She is Alice's younger sister and both from the Farm Girls tribe before they joined the Mall Rats in Series 2. She starts a relationship with Jack and forms the Mall Rats newspaper called "The Amulet." Both Ellie and Jack were instrumental in discovering the origins of the virus.

When The Chosen take over the city, Jack is sent away and Ellie is heartbroken over the loss. Ellie then falls for Luke, the lieutenant of The Chosen, and begins a relationship with him. When Jack is revealed to be alive, Ellie is confused over who to choose. Luke and Jack are soon taken away by the advanced Technos, leaving Ellie extremely distraught as she realises she loves Jack after all. The Technos would send Ellie away into slave camps after she attempted to set a bomb off at the Technos headquarters.

After the downfall of the Technos, Ellie returns to the Mall with amnesia. She is tricked by Java into bringing a bomb to kill all the Mall Rats, but Jack discovers the ruse. She slowly regains her memory and restarts her relationship with Jack.

Ellie escapes with the Mall Rats in a boat after a new strain of the virus is released into the city by Mega. Ellie and Jack would encounter the forces of The Collective and would struggle to uncover their mysteries, aided surprisingly by Ram, the former Techno leader.
