Ellis (toshinden Character)




Ellis is a fictional playable character in the first three installments of the video game series '' Battle Arena Toshinden ''. Although the games state Ellis to be Turkish, she is actually Japanese, although this is not revealed until The Second Game .

A close friend of Eiji Shinjo and Kayin Amoh , Ellis is a fighter skilled in the art of the Twin Dirk Daggers, and also a circus performer. She was raised in an orphanage in Turkey, told that her parents and brother had been killed in a car crash. Ellis, after reaching the age of 16, moved to Japan where she would meet and eventually develop an unreturned crush on Eiji, who was bitter at the sudden disappearance of his brother and mentor, Sho .

Along with Eiji and his friend Kayin, Ellis entered the first Toshindaibukai in order to test her fighting skills, but she, along with all the other participating fighters, discovered that the tournament had been held illegally by a man named Gaia , whom Eiji had been battling at the time. Furious at Gaia for decieving her and everyone else like that, Ellis returned home with Eiji and Kayin.

However, two years later, Ellis recieved a letter from Gaia, who was calling for help. To her horror, the letter revealed that Gaia was actually her Father (similar to the Luke Skywalker / Darth Vader situation) and that she and Gaia were the only ones to survive the car crash eighteen years ago. It also revealed that Ellis was actually Japanese and ''not'' Turkish. It seemed that Gaia had been targeted for death by the Himitsu Kessha Organization for holding the first Toshindaibukai, and that he needed help if he was to avenge the deaths of his wife and son, who had been killed when it was actually ''' Uranus ''' who had caused the fatal car accident.

Fighting her hatred, Ellis entered the second Toshindaibukai, and encountered a man named Rungo Iron , who claimed to be a friend of Gaia's and had also recieved a call for help. Eventually reuniting with her father, Ellis fought in the tournament, but was knocked out by a Chinese Magician named Fo Fai , leaving Gaia and Rungo to fight along with their new ally: Eiji.

Ellis eventually heard that Uranus had been slain before Gaia and Rungo could reach her, and Gaia came home to Ellis, to start a family life together.

For entertainment, Ellis, Gaia, Rungo, along with Eiji and Kayin, entered the third Toshindaibukai. But Rungo and Gaia had been targeted by Himitsu Kessha assassins: Tau, an Indian Giant; and Adam, a robot Rungo's size. Ellis was encountered by another assassin named Atahua, an Indian Boy. Ellis fought Atahua with all her might, but when Tau showed up and claimed that he had forfeited his match against Gaia, Atahua abandoned his fight with Ellis, understanding now that fighting was pointless. Ellis and Gaia bid farewell to Tau and Atahua, and left the tournament.

Since then, Ellis and Gaia did not fight ever again, retiring from the sport for good.
