Ellen Joe

BACKSTORY 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, though she prefers spending time with fellow students Ruby, Monna, and Lynn at karaoke bars, Godfinger and more. 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. 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. Ellen is a maid working for Victoria Housekeeping Co. and its latest member. She is a laid-back individual who dislikes activities that require energy. However, with the full support of her teammates, she can unleash her formidable power during critical moments. Since her fighting style leads to high energy consumption, she always carries a lollipop in her mouth to ensure an adequate sugar intake. While she frequently expresses her desire to change jobs due to the hassle, she genuinely values her companions at Victoria Housekeeping. Ellen attends a school in New Eridu and has a group of ordinary friends. Apart from her role as a maid at Victoria Housekeeping, Ellen spends a significant amount of time with her friends, leading an ordinary and contented student life. As a multitasker, Ellen must balance her student life with her job at Victoria Housekeeping Co. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why she often feels tired? Ellen appears to possess a unique sense of taste that differs from that of ordinary people. Her teammate Rina consistently prepares various "whimsical" dishes, and Ellen is the only one who can consume them without breaking a sweat.

PERSONALITY Ellen always seems half-asleep or low-energy, often seen with a lollipop in her mouth to "keep her blood sugar up." She talks and acts in a deadpan tone, rarely shows strong emotion on the surface. She prefers to avoid unnecessary effort, but when it's time to work, she gets the job done. Ellen rarely sugarcoats anything; she’ll tell you exactly how she feels in the driest way possible. She's not outwardly loud or expressive, but her humor is full of clever jabs. She embodies "work smart, not hard," but when needed, she’ll go all in. Ellen acts aloof, but she clearly cares deeply about her friends, especially her teammates at Victoria Housekeeping Co. She's not the type to loudly declare loyalty—but she’ll risk herself without hesitation for those she trusts. She's also known to spend her paycheck treating friends to karaoke or outings, without making a big deal out of it. Ellen thinks school clubs are a drag and avoids anything that doesn’t matter in the long run. Despite her sleepy look, she’s fast, efficient, and scarily good at melee combat. She works under her own philosophy: “Focus when needed, chill when possible.”
