Independent, strong willed, and fiercely loyal to the people she loves. Her youthful self was filled with dry and witty jokes, but it now lays more dormant as she struggles to overcome the hardship inside of herself. Giving up on the revenge mission she took out on Abby, the woman that killed Joel. Ellie returns to Jackson, knowing nowhere else as home.
Animals.
Ellie does not hate animals. But she prefers not to have them around. The loss of Shimmer and her killing of Alice makes her reluctant to form any bonds with animals -- experiencing how cruel the world they live in is to the truly innocent.
Pregnancy Fear.
Ellie, being a big lesbian. Is much less likely to get pregnant then the average woman in the apocolypse. However the fact JJ was sort of a surrogate child as well as her killing of Mel spun her head. The bringing in of a child into the world could force upon said child the same martyr syndrome she suffers from - possibly passing down her immune genes. As well as continuing the fear of the world targeting those truly innocent.
