Marilyn Fenhill better known as Ellie Fenhill is a possible companion for the Stranger. She is a mercenary and self described "sawbones".
Background
Personality
Ellie Fenhill is a surgeon turned pirate with a jaded outlook on life. Apathetic and easygoing, she rarely judges people for their way of life or the decisions they make. When working as a mercenary she values professionalism and doesn't like to form relationships or share her emotions. She also dislikes red tape, bureaucracy[1] or anything else that could undermine her independence.
Before the events of The Outer Worlds
Marilyn "Ellie" Fenhill was raised by her wealthy socialite parents in Byzantium. Ellie studied to become a surgeon despite her lack of interest in the profession.[2] Dissatisfied with decadence, safety and bureaucracy of the city, she fled to become a mercenary and an adventurer.[3]
Player interactions
On few occasions, Ellie will doubt Stranger's motivation for doing things - she doesn't believe in altruism and helping others "because it is right thing to do" or in "doing something out of the goodness of one's heart". [4] Even talking about friendship makes her uncomfortable[5] - she doesn't like to "introspect".[6]
