View all episodes

Ellie is the central character of The Last of Us series. She serves as the deuteragonist of The Last of Us, the playable protagonist of both The Last of Us: Left Behind and The Last of Us Part II, and the main character in The Last of Us: American Dreams. When introduced as a fourteen-year-old survivor, Ellie is "mature beyond her years" - a result of the circumstances of her environment.

Ellie has grown up in this harsh world and it is all she has ever known. She's an orphan who was raised in a boarding school run by the military within the bounds of the Boston quarantine zone. Naïve and curious about the outside world, she is wise beyond her years and highly capable of taking care of herself and those around her. Obsessed with comic books, CDs, and other pop culture, her knowledge base is filled by the remnants of a world that no longer exists.
