Marilyn Fenhill, better known as Ellie Fenhill is a possible companion for the Stranger. She is a mercenary and self described "sawbones".

Background[]

Personality[]

Raised by her wealthy socialite parents in Byzantium, Ellie studied to become a surgeon despite her lack of interest in the profession.[1] Dissatisfied with decadence, safety and bureaucracy of the city, she fled to become a mercenary and an adventurer.[2]

By 2355, Ellie has become a pirate sporting a custom made ammo belt and "pirate haircut" 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[3] or anything else that could undermine her independence. Her look is an attempt to appear like a stereotypical pirate, since she wants to "advertise her business somehow"[4].

Ellie will doubt the 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". [5] Even talking about friendship makes her uncomfortable[6] - she doesn't like to "introspect".[7]
