Character Analysis

(Avoiding Spoilers)

Visiting… Jurassic Park, a brand new amusement park where bioengineers have managed to clone dinosaurs using fossilized DNA. Ellie has been brought to the park as part of a special safety inspection team.

Profession… paleobotonaist. Dr. Sattler, an expert on prehistoric plants, isn’t entirely happy with Jurassic Park’s manufactured ecosystem. As she states, “Well, the question is, how can you know anything about an extinct ecosystem? And therefore, how could you ever assume that you can control it? I mean, you have plants in this building that are poisonous, you picked them because they looked good.”

Interests… prehistoric plants and children. Ellie has reached the age where she’s beginning to think about having a family of her own.

Relationship Status… in a relationship with her partner, Dr. Alan Grant, a world-renowned paleontologist. Ellie is constantly badgering her boyfriend, the moody Dr. Grant, to settle down and have children. Grant, though, despises those “small versions of adults,” as Ellie calls them.

Challenge… making it out of Jurassic Park alive. Ellie, Dr. Grant and the park’s other distinguished guests are caught in the middle of a massive power failure at the park, setting many carnivorous dinosaurs on the loose. She’s in the middle of a battle for her life.

Personality… athletic, impatient, and intelligent. Ellie loves to work outdoors and get a bit of exercise. She’s down to earth, humble, and extremely brave.
