{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|Ellie possesses a Sacred Artifact of vampire blood that has mixed with her own. The more moonlight shines on her, the stronger her physical capabilities become and the more minions she becomes able to command. Her strong power is supported by many beliefs, so at night there are very few people willing to go against her one on one. But even so, due to the rules of the game guild battles do not happen at night when the after school time is over. Due to that she doesn't contribute to the guild's defensive strength at all, and some call Ellie "Queen" sarcastically. She likes people who remind her of the moon, possibly because she can show her strength better the brighter the moon shines. She somewhat dislikes older people who have old school thought patterns. Kabukicho has a shrine that worships oni, which is also why that area attracts oni.}}

{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|The Nightwalker of Tokyo, Kabukicho, City of Night. Back when Ellie was still just an ordinary girl, she read about a certain character in a story. The person was someone who was both a villainess who threatened the peace and a lady vampire who fascinated everyone. At the end of the tale, the humans mounted a counterattack and the vampire was exterminated at least. For some reason, Ellie felt her ending and appearance was sad. And now, Ellie has coincidentally dressed up as a vampire mistress at Kabukicho Academy's festival. She has chosen a dress of snow white, the same dress that vampire lady in that story she read wore. The queen who walks the nights in Kabukicho secretly wishes to meet with someone who knows the same loneliness she does. She herself doesn't know if that would be someone in her guild or someone she has yet to meet. She likes children, and she is often seen hanging around Kabukicho Academy's elementary school section and being led away by the teacher in charge there.}}

* Ellie's name, status as a vampire, youthfulness and beauty from sucking blood and affinity for small children appears to be based on [[Wikipedia:Elizabeth_Báthory|Elizabeth Báthory]], a 16th century Hungarian countess infamous for murdering hundreds of young women and girls over a period of 20 years. Báthory's killing spree earned her a reputation as a vampire who bathed in the blood of the young to retain her beauty.
