Profile Ellen Joe is a laid-back Shark Thiren that attends school in New Eridu who hates activities that require energy. Despite her personality and aloofness, Ellen is a significantly popular student at the school,[1] though she prefers spending time with fellow students Ruby, Monna, and Lynn at karaoke bars, Godfinger and more.[2]

Ellen's school life is balanced with her job as a maid for Victoria Housekeeping Co., where she specializes in security management and garden maintenance.[3] Though she dislikes physical activities, the support of her teammates that she considers her friend as well, allow her to unleash formidable power, becoming a significant threat in combat. However, this comes at the caveat of consuming a lot of her energy, which is why she has a lollipop on her person at most times.

Ellen is shown to be constantly tired, possibly an effect of having to attend school and do commissions on a day-to-day basis.
