Background / History

Ellie was the youngest daughter of a wealthy merchant. Before being selected for the Wizard Academy, she lived a sheltered life and had little experience with the life-or-death pressures faced by other candidates. She came from Canning Territory and boarded the academy airship as an apprentice candidate. 3 5

She was assigned to a cramped room with Richard during the journey. Initially homesick and frightened of the other passengers, she concealed her anxieties and lied about room arrangements to avoid possible danger. Her aptitude for reading and Wizard Language quickly became valuable: she translated How to Become a Wizard Apprentice in seven days and became nearly fluent in the language. 3 5

Ellie survived the entrance examination despite suffering burns, a scar on her forehead, and damaged clothing. At Black Tower Wizard Academy, she became Richard's neighbor in the Living Zone and gradually adapted to the academy's harsh realities. 14

She later became Susanna's formal apprentice, specializing in the Shaping School while also inheriting Curse Magic. After becoming a Wizard, she fused with a fire-element creature bloodline; later, Susanna passed down a hybrid bloodline containing Dragon and Abyssal Demon traits. 37 104 282

During the Bug Nest campaigns, Ellie fought alongside Richard and Lawrence, using Curse Magic for divination and combat. She was severely injured during the prolonged underground conflict and lost an arm to a Warrior Bug; Richard temporarily replaced it with a mana-controlled flesh tentacle. 125 132 143

Ellie continued advancing through bloodline development, rune research, and physical training. Her research eventually produced techniques such as the Black Crystal Power Core rune array and Cellular Garment, while her bloodline gave her exceptional physical adaptation and increasingly draconic features. 365 485 635

Appearance

Ellie was originally described as a blonde-haired young woman. Her appearance changed substantially through elemental and bloodline fusion, eventually taking on visible fire, Dragon, and Abyssal characteristics. 14 104 564

• Her blonde hair was partially burned away during the academy entrance examination; she bore a scorched forehead scar afterward. 14
• After fusing with a fire-element creature bloodline, sparks flashed around her body during movement. 104
• Her later bloodline development gave her fine dragon scales, dark-red eyes, and delicate golden Dragon Horns that emit golden electrical sparks. 564
• Her bloodline also grants exceptional physical charm, which draws crowds of apprentices to her lectures despite her attempts to suppress it with Soul Magic. 440
• Following the loss of her arm in the Bug Nest World, she temporarily used a flesh tentacle prosthesis controlled by mana. 143

Personality

Ellie begins her journey anxious, homesick, and inexperienced with mortal danger, but she is intelligent, resilient, and willing to work intensely when given a goal. Her rapid translation of the academy text and subsequent tutoring of Richard demonstrate both academic ability and generosity. 3 5

She is emotionally direct and often playful with Richard, though she can become frustrated by his distance or single-minded focus on research. She remains independent when confronted by Joseph's attempt to buy Richard away from her and refuses to let wealth determine her relationships. 24 35

As a Wizard, Ellie becomes more composed and serious, particularly in research and battlefield situations. She is nevertheless deeply affected by separation from Richard and by the losses of the long war. 565 635

Abilities & Skills

Shaping Magic

Ellie is a Shaping Wizard with strong command of fire-element spells and rune structures.

• Can cast Fireball Technique in combat. 58 59
• Her staff raises ordinary Fireball Technique power to level 700. 121
• Her specialized knowledge allows her to deconstruct and modify spell models, including the Ice Cone Spell. 37 40
• Studied fire-element curiosities with Richard for years, greatly expanding her Shaping knowledge. 280 282

Curse Magic

• Used Curse Magic for divination to locate Lawrence in the underground world. 125
• Can employ Curse Flame, a powerful purple flame feared even by a Flame Giant. 58 59
• Curse Flame consumes soul power rather than mana and permanently reduces her Spiritual Power with each use. 59
• With her staff, Curse Fire can reach spell power of 1500 and affect groups of enemies. 121

Rune Research

Ellie's rune knowledge eventually surpasses Richard's in several Shaping-related fields.

Ellie's inherited hybrid bloodline combines Dragon and Abyssal Demon traits.

• Her completed fusion greatly improves Physique, strength, agility, and mana control. 282

• Her strength, agility, and reaction speed later become comparable to those of a Third-Ring Wizard who has not cultivated their Physique. 485
• Her bloodline's balance makes artificial life editing risky, as external modification could destabilize it. 744
• Her title is Dragon of the Abyss. 858
