| “ | You said you stole this from the Toppats? That name sounds familiar. I think I heard of them when I was getting locked up at The Wall... Criminal organization, right? And you crossed them, huh? We gotta put this bad boy to use! What do you say we hit 'em again? I don't know about you, but I'm runnin' pretty low on cash...

| ― Ellie Rose to Henry Stickmin |
Ellie Rose is the tritagonist of the Henry Stickmin series and the female main character of the series, who appears as the deuteragonist of Fleeing the Complex and the tritagonist of Completing the Mission. She appears as the deuteragonist in every Completing the Mission route she appears in, excluding Toppat Civil Warfare, where she is the main antagonist. Her morality is dependent on the players' choice, she starts out as a criminal and is depicted as such in most of the routes she is featured in, but her afflictions can change depending on the players' choices.
Ellie is a red-haired outlaw with an unknown past who ended up being imprisoned at The Wall. If Henry Stickmin decides to take her along with him to escape, Ellie becomes his faithful partner and ally, becoming either the Right Hand Lady of the Toppat Clan, working with Henry and Charles in the government, staying a criminal and either joining the toppats or stealing from them. She can also be pardoned along with Henry.
Throughout most of her appearances, Ellie is completely loyal to Henry, with one major exception. If Henry decides to leave her behind and escape on his own, and is the leader of the Toppats, she instigates the Toppat Clan's mutiny against Henry and becomes their new leader, commanding the respect of the members of the clan. This is the only route Ellie is featured in where she appears in an antagonistic role.
Ellie was originally designed as a minor Toppat, assisting Reginald Copperbottom and Right Hand Man in overthrowing Terrence Suave, in a side-game that takes place from Ellie's perspective. This idea was scrapped as PuffballsUnited wanted to make a relevant female character for the first time. Although the side-game was scrapped, Ellie was later featured as a Toppat in several routes in Completing the Mission.
Ellie is voiced by Reese B.

Profile
Appearance
Ellie is a young woman who has short red hair, red eyebrows, cream-colored shoes, and wears red lipstick. The outlines of her hair were slightly redder in the original version of Fleeing the Complex, but nothing else was changed in the remastered version.
In the Completing the Mission routes where she is a member of the Toppat Clan, Ellie is shown with two hats. The first hat is pink with a single purple rose, while the second is pink with a ring of purple roses. She gets the first hat as an ordinary Toppat, and the second as the leader of the clan.
Ellie's hair is slightly different in Completing the Mission from its appearance in Fleeing the Complex.
Roles
Ellie with Henry Stickmin
Ellie appears as the deuteragonist of Fleeing the Complex, and the overall tritagonist of Completing the Mission.
In Fleeing the Complex, Ellie appears as:
- The deuteragonist of Convict Allies.
- A supporting character of Ghost Inmate.
- A minor character of Presumed Dead, International Rescue Operative and The Betrayed.
In Completing the Mission, Ellie appears as:
- The deuteragonist of Triple Threat, Pardoned Pals, Toppat Recruits, Capital Gains and Toppat King.
- The main antagonist of Toppat Civil Warfare.
Fleeing the Complex
Ellie is first seen at the start of the game, sitting on the floor in the same cell as Henry, and she looks miserable, waiting for a transfer to their new cells. Grigori Olyat, Dmitri Johannes Petrov's right hand man who was supposed to guard them, turns around. After that, Henry sees his chance to escape, and he can ask her help to reach a hatch in the ceiling to escape. When this is done, he has to choose whether continue himself or pull off a ladder and grab her. If Henry chooses to grab her, Ellie helps Henry escape imprisonment, and they become close friends. If he chooses to leave her behind, Ellie is disappointed and eventually busts herself out and goes to confront Henry after learning he is the leader of the Toppat Clan, leading to the Toppat Civil Warfare pathway.
Completing the Mission
Ellie can appear in a variety of different scenarios. She appears in five pathways; all four that involve Convict Allies as a starting point (Triple Threat, Pardoned Pals/Toppat Recruits, Capital Gains and Toppat King) and one that involves Ghost Inmate as a starting point (Toppat Civil Warfare). She and Henry are allies in all but one of the routes she appears in, with the one exception being Toppat Civil Warfare, in which they are enemies due to Henry leaving Ellie behind.
Abilities
Similar to Henry, Ellie’s also capable to suddenly gain special powers out of nowhere depending on the situation, with the only difference is that they only serve to help Henry when he's in a rough spot and most of her power are item based, save for her force power. Unlike Henry who has no special power outside of whatever he's able to pull off depending on the situation, Ellie is consistently shown to have force power on at least two occasions.

| ― Ellie to Charles Calvin about her and Henry |
Ellie reaches her hand to Henry moments before they escape from The Wall.
Ellie loves action, going on missions, and fighting. She is shown to be serious and straightforward, coming up with detailed plans, and also demonstrating good logic. She is every bit as capable as Henry Stickmin if she's allowed to tag along in the Convict Allies route, and Completing the Mission shows that she's still plenty capable of pulling her weight in every route that features her. Circumstances that led to Ellie's imprisonment at the Wall are unknown, but her actions show that she is just as gung-ho as Henry is due to taking part in a heist immediately after escaping in one of the routes. She is shown to clearly have experience, being able to escape from The Wall by herself in the Toppat Civil Warfare route. General Hubert Galeforce mentions that she, like Henry, was also on the government's radar.
Henry makes Ellie his Right Hand Lady.
Should Henry choose to help her escape too, she becomes very loyal to him. However, this loyalty towards Henry can come across as undying, blind, and passive, as most of her actions are dependent on Henry's choices despite being more competent herself, never ever doubting him for the most part, even if the idea is impractical. Her loyalty toward Henry eventually pays off by the end of the Toppat King route, as Henry decides to promote her as his Right Hand Lady.
On several occasions, Ellie speaks up in Henry's defense when they are both in dangerous situations. Notable examples are when Ellie asks The Wall's guards to hold up the elevator for the duo to blend in and when she speaks her intention to join The Toppat Clan alongside Henry towards Reginald and Right Hand Man.
In contrast to the more bumbling Charles Calvin, Ellie demonstrates a much better awareness on what to do in most situations and can sometimes show up Henry. Despite this, she can still be just as silly as Charles and there are a few fails that are due to mistakes on her part.
Despite being a criminal like Henry, Ellie is noticeably nicer than him as she appears to be pretty friendly towards people she cares about and willing to trust Henry on her first encounter with him to boost him up to the vent ceiling, ultimately becoming truly loyal to Henry if he returns the favor. However, Ellie can be pretty scary when being violent as she's definitely not a person you want to be messing with. And Henry learns this the hard way in Toppat Civil Warfare route where Ellie is utterly mad at him for abandoning her at The Wall.
Despite being a criminal, Ellie seems to have no real morality beyond her loyalty to Henry if he helps her escape the Wall. Whether this means following Henry into a heroic or villainous path is determinant upon the player's choice in Airship. Ellie is more than happy to accept any of Henry's decisions throughout his journey, even if it's something that could get both herself and Henry killed.
"I helped you escape and you just.... left me."
If Henry abandons her at the Wall after using her to escape, Ellie will become dedicated to seeking revenge against him, becoming the main antagonist of the Toppat Civil Warfare route. During this route, Ellie is shown to be quite ruthless, as well as a skilled leader as she appears to command the respect of much of the Toppat Clan.
She is also somewhat persuasive and influential on others, encouraging and convincing Henry to help her steal money from the Toppats in the Capital Gains route, which Henry obeys and agrees to help (being a criminal himself). In addition, she influenced Reginald and the entire Toppat Clan to turn against Henry in the Toppat Civil Warfare route, and also has the respect and loyalty of the Toppats in that route.
In addition to her own influence on others, she is also completely loyal to Henry in most of her appearances, doing anything he does, trusting him and any of his friends and even changing sides just to stay with him.

Trivia
- Ellie Rose was originally designed in an unreleased side-game as a minor member of the Toppat Clan, assisting Reginald Copperbottom and Right Hand Man in overthrowing Terrence Suave, in a side-game that takes place from Ellie's perspective. These ideas were scrapped as PuffballsUnited wanted to make a relevant female character for the first time, making Ellie the only female main character in The Henry Stickmin Collection.[1]
- Although the side-game was scrapped, Ellie would join as a Toppat in several routes in Completing the Mission. Dialogue in the Toppat Recruits and Toppat King endings (where Ellie is unfamiliar with Toppat organization and Reginald has never met her before) implies the script for the side-game is no longer cannon.
- It was originally speculated by some people in the Henry Stickmin community that Jacob Rose, a minor character in Stealing the Diamond, was Ellie's brother due to the fact both characters share the same last name. However, it was later revealed by Puffballs in The Henry Stickmin Collection Developer Commentary that Ellie and Jacob are not related and that both characters having the same last name is coincidental.
- The hair colors of Sally Cue and Jen Bruhn were previously red in the legacy games, but were changed to blonde and brown respectively in the remastered versions as some people thought both characters may have been Ellie prior to her arrest. This was retroactively mentioned in Sally's bio.
- Ellie appears in every pathway with Convict Allies selected, and plays a very important role working alongside Henry Stickmin.
- Ellie Rose has a lot in common with Henry Stickmin.
- Both are criminals.
- Both had dealings with the Government.
- She, like Henry, has a good plan of action.
- Both appreciate each other on every journey with Convict Allies.
- If Henry leaves Ellie behind in "Ghost Inmate," the text "Ellie will remember that." will appear; and yet the only time it is brought up again in Completing the Mission is in the "Toppat Civil Warfare" path, the route mixing the "Rapidly Promoted Executive" ending (where Henry becomes the leader of the Toppat Clan) with the "Ghost Inmate" ending (being the one that would prompt Ellie to take revenge). Her absence in other GI routes can be explained by:
- GSPI (Cleaned 'em Out) - Henry is laying low and allied with the government, preventing her from finding him.
- RBH (Free Man) - Henry is allied with the government and is later captured by the Right-Hand Man to avenge Reginald's arrest, which would have rendered it meaningless.
- PBT (Jewel Baron) - Henry was not of any significance to both sides and therefore was tough to track.
- Unlike Henry or Charles, she survives in all endings and is only killed in fails (being steamrolled by Henry's stolen tank, inadvertently shot to death by Henry's sniper, etc).
- Despite not knowing why she was sent to The Wall, she is interested in theft, which might have prompted her incarceration. In "Pardoned Pals," General Hubert Galeforce recognizes Ellie and states they've had their eye on her for a while now, which further proves she is indeed an infamous criminal to at least the American government.
- At the beginning of the "Capital Gains" route, Ellie mentions having connections through which she finds out about the Toppat Train. These could have been the same connections that led to her tracking down Henry in Toppat Civil Warfare.
- Ellie is the only main character that doesn't die in any path of Completing the Mission, only dying in fails.
- Charles dies in Valiant Hero.
- Henry dies in Revenged.
- Reginald and The Right Hand Man die in numerous endings;
- Reginald dies in Jewel Baron, Pardoned Pals, Toppat Civil Warfare, and Revenged.
- The Right Hand Man dies in Jewel Baron, Pardoned Pals, Capital Gains, Toppat Civil Warfare, and Revenged.
- Dmitri dies in both of the paths he is featured in; Pardoned Pals and Toppat Recruits.
- Toppat Civil Warfare is the only non-convict Allies ending where Ellie is known to have escaped The Wall on her own.
- Ellie Rose was suspected to have inspired a Roblox Developer to create a character that is similar to her, but not exactly the same.
