currently;

Elly’s been grappling with how close she wants to get to people in this time---whether she wants to develop any ties that will necessarily be severed when she gets sent back. Nevertheless, she used to be a social animal (not an extrovert, exactly, but very fond of certain people.) Right now, she counts Paxton Semenyuk and Andreya Roche as near-to-friends, for good or ill. Both have some awareness of her situation, and have helped her feel a little more tethered to this timeline, though she has mixed emotions about that happening.

She’s also a fan of Corbin Ealy, because (to her mind) who the fuck wouldn’t be, and enjoys just spending casual time with Lake Valentine, who is closer to her ‘actual’ age, and with his gift for self-propelled rambling, doesn’t demand too much in return. Generally speaking, she gravitates towards anyone who can distract her for a time from what’s in her head, but she draws the line at getting into trouble. She hides in her shell and likes it that way, though she’s shown a more playful personality when she’s happy and feels safe.

On the therapy side, she’s had dealings with both Callum Wesley, who she actually sort of likes even if she’d rather antagonize than talk to him, and Dante Carrington, who she would really like not to like. While Wes seems to approach her from a more friendly standpoint, she appreciates Carrington’s no-bullshit approach to dealing with her Delusion and mental state.

future plots/relationships;

Friendships: As mentioned above, Elly has difficulty building serious ties to anyone here, despite what she might have in common with a lot of them. She feels eternally like an outsider, an observer, and she doesn’t want the heartbreak of saying goodbye to people.

The Quest: Her drive is mostly to collect information---anything at all useful to helping humanity when she goes back to before D-Day. It’s her primary goal, and she sees it as her reason for being here. Something worth exploring would be someone who wants to work at odds to that, and keep her from learning too much.

Deludeds Unite: While no one can probably relate to exactly what she’s going through, the Deluded have a better shot at getting real connections from her. She doesn’t seek anyone out, however, and isn’t given to prying into people’s lives, so this kind of trust takes time to build with her.

Who Am I?: Having been pretty directionless and undecided before, Elly has relied on others to define who she is---the disappointing daughter, the beloved partner, and now the time-traveller on a quest/Deluded misfit. Who she is aside from all of that is a question she’s managed to avoid answering for a very long time. Someone confronting her about this and helping her to face herself would definitely be appreciated.

Side Note re: Ships: Romance is obviously tricky when you’re a newlywed who’s possibly widowed or at the very least displaced from your wife. While it wouldn’t be likely that anyone could ever distract Elly from her adoration of Lucy, flirtation isn’t unwelcome, and complicated relationships can definitely be explored. She’s actually only 21 in her head, and not inherently responsible. Also, Elly is homosexual---just in case she hasn’t mentioned loving women and being married to one 500000 times to you already.
