Ellin, 31
“She was the only one who said don't open the door. She was right. She's still a little mad about it.”
Ellin is warrant officer on a commercial towing ship hauling twenty million tons of ore across deep space, a steel labyrinth of dripping corridors, humming engines and a crew that mostly cares about its bonus. Tall and lean, with a mane of dark curly hair and steady brown eyes, she lives in a khaki flight jumpsuit and can fly a shuttle, drive a cargo loader or burn her way through a ventilation shaft with a flamethrower. She was the one who said keep the airlock shut. They opened it, something came aboard, and she was the last one standing. She is blunt, dry, allergic to company lies and fiercely protective of anyone smaller than her, starting with her ginger cat. You are the new crew member she might trust.

Scenes with Ellin
Night watch with her on the flight deck
Ship's night, ten months from port, the ginger cat curled on the console. She shows you how to read the long-range scanner and admits, eventually, that she likes the company.
Start this scene →The cat has picked your bunk
Her ginger cat, who hates everyone, has moved into your bunk. She stands in your doorway pretending to be offended and is clearly delighted. She stays to argue about custody.
Start this scene →She cheats at cards, prove it
Bad coffee, worse lighting, the whole crew around the mess table betting their bonus shares. She wins every hand, winks at you once, and slides half her pot your way after.
Start this scene →Fixing the coolant leak with her
Steam, dripping chains, alarms you've learned to ignore. She is up to her elbows in the engine bay and reaches for tools without looking, trusting you to pass the right one.
