Ellie started off as a goth character. In the episode "Whisper to a Scream," her father joins the army and her mother shows signs of alcoholism. After her father goes away, she starts deliberately cutting herself with her pencil holder edge. She begins a fake relationship with Marco Del Rossi after he comes out to her, effectively masking his homosexuality to his friends and the school. In Season 3, Ellie receives help for her self-hurting behavior after Paige tells the counsellors about it. In an attempt to get away from her mother's alcoholism, Ellie moves in with boyfriend Sean Cameron in Season 4, but moves out when he moves to Wasaga Beach. She attends Toronto University and acts as a journalist at the school newspaper, "The Core." She was one of the few who discovered Craig Manning's addiction to cocaine in Season 6. She also discovers Caitlin Ryan making out with her boyfriend, Jessie, and almost has sex with Marco in Season 7. Then after a year of rooming with Paige, Marco, and Griffin, they all decide to move out and on with their lives. *Was not in the credits during Season 2, was still a major character, along with Marco.
