Profile
Appearance
Elie is a young woman with silver blonde hair and bright green eyes. She wears her hair long, reaching her waist and ties it up with a single black ribbon. Elie wears a short white collared minidress with a teal kerchief, crimson sleeves and two crimson tails extending to her ankles. She also wears black tights and white boots.
In her later appearance, Elie retains her colour scheme, but swaps the dress for a slightly different style resembling dress shirt that opens up to reveal a black shirt and teal neck tie.The crimson part of her outfit now resembles more of an overcoat and meets at the navel.
In battles, Elie wields a customized vintage orbal gun.
Personality
Elie maintains a sweet and proper disposition, and she takes interest in anything that has to do with keeping her home, Crossbell, peaceful. She is very intelligent and is capable of thinking in many different ways due to her travels across the continent of Zemuria.
Elie is occasionally not above teasing, especially at Lloyd, and being sarcastic, especially towards Randy. Elie can act very motherly when in the vicinity of small children.
Background
Elie was born to a Calvardian father and Crossbellan mother. After their marriage, Elie's father decided to take on his wife's noble last name MacDowell to gain an advantage in Crossbell's complex political sphere. His strong sense of justice fueled his desire to end Crossbell's suzerainty under Erebonia and Calvard.
Despite his best efforts, he could not get the support of his father-in-law Henry MacDowell during his political campaigning. Disillusioned by what he believed to be a hopeless situation for Crossbell due to its relentless political climate of betrayal and greed, he requested a divorce and moved back to Calvard. Elie's mother went on to live with relatives in Erebonia shortly thereafter. Elie began living with her grandfather Henry from this point onward.
Elie met Mariabell Crois during this time and the two quickly became friends.
Elie's interest in politics led her abroad, studying the complexities of foreign government systems in great depth. During her stay in Arteria she met Ries Argent. When she returned to Crossbell from her studies in S.1203, her grandfather and father had decided that it would be best for her to sign up for the police, which had been developing the concept for the Special Support Section. This would give her the chance to pursue justice without the restrictions of a political career path.
Elie graduated from the Crossbell Police Academy with perfect scores on theoretical exams and marksmanship. As a member of the Special Support Section, she is often consulted for her political and economical knowledge..
Zero and Ao no Kiseki
Elie met Lloyd, Tio, and Randy when they formed the Special Support Section, and her long awaited goal started to become a reality. Together after solving lots of cases and slowly unravelling the corruption in the city, Elie foils a plot to assassinate her grandfather. After foiling the ambitions of Revache, Elie joins her team in repelling an attack on the IBC building by gnosis-affected soldiers and eventually putting an end to the cult's schemes in Crossbell.
Elie is disappointed to learn of Mariabell Crois's involvement in the plot surrounding Crossbell's independence and usage of KeA and resolves to get to the botttom of the truth. She joins the party in resolving Crossbell's plight and its resistance efforts afterwards.
Trails of Cold Steel III and IV
Elie accompanies Estelle, Joshua, Renne, KeA and Lloyd in a mission to infiltrate the Mystic Core of Orchis Tower and establish what happened in Erebonia. They succeed after facing Black Alberich, Mariabell and Claire Rieveldt.
Later, Elie and Estelle come to the aid of Class VII beneath Orchis Tower against Cao Lee and Lau. She later does this once more in the Lake Elm Wetlands where they engage the Zauber Soldats in battle.
Elie is present at the the multi-national summit to discuss Operation Mille Mirage on board the Pantagruel. When the Glorious attacks, Elie joins the girl's side and confronts Mariabell. Later, she helps rescue her mother from an incursion of the Spirit World onto the material world by one of the Seventy-Seven Devils. Elie is part of the Crossbell team that attacks one of the fake Salt pales and later comes to the final battle against Ishmelga-Loge.
Hajimari no Kiseki
Elie conducts an operation with the other SSS members to expel Rufus Albarea's personal guard and retake Crossbell. They succeed after a battle on Orchis Tower's rooftop. Afterwards, Elie and the SSS complete various missions in the run up to the re-independence ceremony. At the ceremony, Rufus appears and launches a coup, defeating the SSS and cuasing them to disperse.
Elie is one of the first SSS members to reunite with Lloyd, joining him in the Armorica Village area and in their mission to find KeA and Ilya. At the Sun Fort, they confront Garcia Rossi and Cao Lee before discovering Ilya's turn to the Twilight Dancer.
Elie is part of the final battle against Elysium at Reverse Babel.
