Ellie Faye was born in 1993 in Switzerland. She grew up in the Swiss Alps with her parents and her older brother Richard. Although theyโre very different, she always got along with her brother. Ellie's parents owns a ski lodge which she helped manage as a teenager.
She had an interest for skiing. Being competitive, stubborn and ambitious, Ellie had the goal to ski on a competitive level. Practice was important to her and she tended to overwork herself and forget rest. After an accident as a teen she had to quit. Ellie fell into a depression, not knowing what to do with her life after her plan fell apart. She eventually got back on track and started working at the ski lodge. Years later, she decided to start studying abroad. She felt the need to travel and find herself.
During her time at university, Ellie met Shiv Roy and became close friends with her.
After graduation, she settled for a job at a bookstore, but Shiv; having noticed Ellie's skills, pushed her to join Waystar Royco. She reluctantly agreed and managed to get a job interview for the PR-team. The interview went well, but she ended up not getting the job.
Frustrated with the decision, she impulsively decided to show them she had what it takes.
Liking her guts and courage, Ellie was given the job.
She started out as an anxious โpushoverโ and due to her age and insecurities, no one took her seriously. She had a hard time fitting in and tended to overwork herself.
Being observant, she noticed things that no one else did, or chose to look past.
When noticing one of her co-workers inappropriate behaviour towards women employees, Ellie was the first to speak up against the sexual harassment she had noticed.
To avoid conflict and drama, the higher-ups chose to look past what had happened. This pushed Ellie to gather proof and release an expose on him. Once the proof was out, they had no choice but to fire him. Her bold move earned her praise, but also a lot of new โenemiesโ.
Ellie Faye is charismatic, creative and witty. Sheโs good at making friends, but equally talented in making rivals. Due to her impulsivity and strong opinions, she tends to not always get along with people, especially at Waystar. She is not scared to stand up for what she thinks is right, no matter the cost. To the people sheโs close to and cares about, she is loyal, supportive and protective. She values friends and family but to people that don't know her, she often comes off as too strong. In her work role, she is goal oriented and ambitious. She knows what she wants and works hard to achieve it. Her role at work differs from how she is outside of her career. Ellie spends a lot of time with her family and friends.
In her spare time, she likes going shopping, watching shows / movies and partying.
She is also an anxious soul, and behind her confident demeanor she has a lot of mental health issues. She is a master of masking her problems, in an attempt to not appear โweakโ at work. Ellieโs situation at work, with her co-workers' dislike for her affects her more than she admits.
Her impulsivity and stubbornness often get her in trouble and although she once swore to never turn out as corrupt as many people at Waystar, she has a bad habit of getting involved in drama, and not knowing when to avoid conflicts. She always speaks her mind, even when you wish she wouldnโt. Ellie can be viewed as โrecklessโ by many.
In Succession lore, Ellie has been at Waystar for almost two years at the start of season 1. She is 24 years old and works with Waystar Royco's PR team, working under Karolina Novotney.
Ellie is friends with both Shiv and Roman and doesnโt get along with Tom.
After getting one of her colleagues fired, people have mixed opinions of Ellie. While some support her and think she made the right choice, others dislike how she handled the situation, and the fact she โcaused a commotionโ that could have damaged the company's reputation.
After Logan's stroke, the future of the company is uncertain and it is affecting them all. Ellie is not involved in this, but keeps track of what is happening and what is said.
