Character Profile
Elie is the granddaughter of Crossbell's mayor who studies politics and law in various countries. Dedicated to the state she grew up in, Elie returns after seeing the distorted condition and corruption of its government, where she enrolls the police department and assigns to the Special Support Section. Her reasoning is that she could not affect anything as a politician because they are restricted by various outside influences.
Background
Elie was born and raised on Crossbell's residential streets with her parents and grandfather. She wanted to be a politician like her father and her grandfather, so she always studied and took notes to one day be as great as them. This all changed quickly and drastically. Her father's sense of justice was not reaching the citizens of Crossbell, nor her grandfather. Elie's father began to look at Crossbell's true colors and believed not even his political values could be of service to a place so 'broken.' He divorced his wife and moved back to Calvard which proceeded Elie's mother to move to Erebonia, leaving their daughter without parents and a large, empty house. Henry, Elie's grandfather, took her in and taught her all he has learned being the mayor of the city.
However, as much as Elie loved her grandfather and wanted to be a politician, she could not look past the flaws of her home. When coming of age, she traveled across the continent to learn how to make Crossbell better in order to make every citizen happy and no one would be left alone like her. Elie realized that like her father, she could never make an impact to the city as a politician. She stripped away her politic duties and joined the police in order to create the peace she had always dreamed for.
She then met Lloyd, Tio, and Randy where they formed the Special Support Section, and her long awaited goal started to become a reality.
Gameplay
Ellie is skilled with long-ranged firearms. She utilizes an old-fashioned orbal gun that can transform into an orbal rifle as her main weapon.
