Persona World Guidance Project -- Encyclopedia Britannica -- Eriko Kirishima

Ellie currently works as a model while she attends university in Sumaru City. She spent her high school years at St. Hermelin Academy. Her time abroad has given her a certain air of sophistication, as well as fluent English. She often attracts attention (especially from men) due to her well-groomed and elegant beauty. In Megami Ibunroku Persona, she fell in love with the main character. When he left, he promised her that "after we seize our dreams, we'll meet again"; she is working diligently towards this end.

Ellie's most compatible Persona arcana is Judgment. The Judgment card often portrays an angel beginning to blow the trumpet that will sound the final judgment. The trumpet's noise calls out to the souls, and it heralds the end to their trials and misfortunes. The card represents Ellie, troubled by her mental blocks, finally freeing herself from them when the Boy with Earring appeared for a visit. After having faced down and uncovered an enemy who had taken his form, she decided that it was time to break the seal on her emotions. The Judgement card is upright rather than reversed because Ellie's situation ended successfully - she managed to change and was reborn into a new self.

The Meaning of the Judgment Tarot

Ruled by Virgo

Virgo symbolizes purity and chastity. Those born under this constellation are unspoiled but affectionate; Ellie's wholesome character is influenced by Virgo.

Virgos usually wish not to infringe on other people, in spite of the strong emotions they themselves may feel. But such Virgos often, simply by virtue of their involvement with the other person, have a great deal of influence on them. Virgos must constantly watch their self-esteem; when confronted with the real world, their self-confidence can falter and collapse. Virgos tend to stand alone, even when they have partners to rely on. Ellie holds back her inner self even from her partners, who only see the surface. She embraces her personal freedom and intensely protects her private self from others' eyes, letting them see only the graceful veneer. After facing her friends' words and her love for the hero, the old Ellie changed. The constellation of Virgo is associated with consideration, and so Ellie is now sympathetic towards people who have fallen, and tries to help them reunite their disjointed personalities into a unified whole.
