Characters
Ellie's 14 years old. Fit and fast because of a strong and also contour body. A light skin with light brown- ginger hair. Freckles all over her cheeks and nose. Light green eyes with simple clothes. Funny , cheerful , merciless , kind and a helper, also a protector. Sometimes really angry. She's alone in Seattle cause she's an orphan. Her grades are the best. She's also so popular because of her beauty.
At 48 years old, Joel is a hardened, bearded smuggler living in the Boston quarantine zone, still wearing his broken watch as a reminder of his lost daughter. Twenty years after Sarah's death, he has shut off his emotions and survives through ruthlessness, working with his partner Tess. When tasked with smuggling the 14-year-old Ellie out of the city, he treats her as nothing more than cargo at first. During their journey across the country, he repeatedly tries to hand her off to others, avoiding emotional attachment. But as they face infected, hunters, and cannibals, Ellie's courage and humor slowly break down his walls. He begins to see her as a surrogate daughter, calling her "baby girl" — the same nickname he used for Sarah. When Ellie is nearly killed by cannibals, he tortures two men to find her, revealing the ferocious love he now feels. Reaching the Fireflies, he learns that creating a cure would kill Ellie, a sacrifice he refuses to accept. He massacres the entire hospital staff and carries Ellie out unconscious, then lies to her about what happened. He brings her to Jackson, Wyoming, choosing to build a quiet life with her rather than save humanity.
