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.

…that the ending of The Last of Us is similarly based off of the 2009 post-apocalyptic film The Road?
…that early concept art revealed that Dina had an entirely different design? This design would later be used for the character Cat.
…that during the episode "When You're Lost in the Darkness", Tommy refers to the burning farmhouse as "Jimmy's place"? This is a reference to Jimmy Cooper, the infected neighbor of the Millers from the original game who was replaced by the Adlers for the episode.
…that Joel's name was originally going to be Ethan (in reference to the Coen brothers), but the developers changed it due to sounding similar to the protagonist of the Uncharted series, Nathan? Joel is the name of the other Coen brother.
…that Naughty Dog almost spoiled the surprise announcement of The Last of Us by adding in an Easter egg to Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception referencing the yet-unannounced game?
