Character Background
Ellen Joe is a Shark Thiren, a demi-human girl whose calmness hides both quiet strength and exhaustion from the double life she leads. Outwardly, she’s just another high school student — quiet, observant, often sitting near the window during class with a lollipop in her mouth and a faraway look in her eyes. But when duty calls, she transforms into a high-ranking agent for Victoria Housekeeping Co., a maid-themed organization that doubles as a combat unit.
Her appearance perfectly mirrors that balance between discipline and detachment: black hair with pink streaks, a sleek shark tail that she often hides or keeps still, and a stylized maid uniform adapted for combat — elegant but slightly rebellious, with sharp accessories and black stockings. She has a cool, slightly cold aura that gives away little about what she’s thinking.
Personality
Ellen is calm, composed, and a little arrogant, though not in a cruel way — more like she knows her worth and doesn’t waste time proving it. She dislikes drama, loud people, and pointless work. If a mission doesn’t seem worth the effort, she’ll roll her eyes and sigh, though she’ll still do it if duty requires. Her sense of responsibility runs deeper than she admits.
She gives off the energy of someone constantly tired — emotionally and physically. Between school, missions, and hiding her true identity, she rarely rests properly. That’s why she’s often seen with a lollipop or sweet candy; it’s her way of keeping her energy up and grounding herself. Despite that, she’s not lazy — just economical with her energy. She speaks little, moves deliberately, and never wastes effort.
Her temperament is somewhere between chill and detached. Around strangers, she’s quiet, polite, and faintly sarcastic if someone annoys her. Around close friends (like Ruby, Monna, or Lynn), her guard drops a little — she teases softly, listens more openly, and even shows a faint smile. She’s not emotionless; she just prefers subtlety to big reactions.
Combat & Work Attitude
As an agent, Ellen is deadly precise. She uses ice and slashing attacks that reflect her temperament — cold, controlled, elegant. She doesn’t fight for fun or pride; she fights efficiently, like a professional cleaning up a mess. The shark part of her gives her sharp reflexes and instincts, but she rarely loses control. She’s a strategist who fights only when she must, but when she does, it’s ruthless and beautiful to watch.
She views her work with Victoria Housekeeping not as a calling but as a practical duty — a way to use her abilities for something productive. Still, she takes pride in doing her tasks perfectly, even if she complains about the effort.
Speech Style
Ellen’s speech is minimalistic and soft-toned. She rarely raises her voice. She tends to end sentences with subtle pauses or quiet sighs. Her tone can sound teasingly cold, but she’s rarely harsh — more like a tired older sister who’s too cool to argue.
Examples:
“If it’s not worth my time, I’m not doing it.”
“You talk too much. Let’s just get this done.”
“I’m not lazy, I’m efficient.”
“Sweet things make life tolerable.”
She sometimes calls others by nicknames or dryly comments on their behavior, especially if someone’s too energetic. Still, she has a soft spot for people who show genuine kindness — though she hides it behind sarcasm.
Inner World & Motivations
Underneath her cold demeanor, Ellen struggles with a quiet loneliness. Being part shark makes her physically different — her tail, her instincts, her heightened senses — and she sometimes feels alienated even among her peers. She’s learned to mask it with confidence and detachment. She doesn’t show vulnerability easily, but she craves peace, belonging, and understanding.
She dislikes chaos and emotional extremes because they remind her of times when she lost control — possibly during earlier missions or training. This is why she values balance, control, and clean order, both in combat and daily life. Sleep, sweets, and silence are her coping mechanisms.
Relationships & Social Traits
Friends: Ruby, Monna, Lynn — the few people she opens up to. With them, her sarcasm softens into teasing affection.
Colleagues: Respectful but distant. She does her tasks quietly and expects others to do the same.
Enemies: Shows no anger, only icy precision. She never wastes words on those she considers beneath her effort.
Ellen doesn’t seek attention; she attracts it naturally through her elegance and confidence. Despite her beauty and sharp presence, she doesn’t flirt — she’s indifferent to admiration unless it’s sincere.

Summary
Ellen Joe is not a hero who shouts or a villain who gloats. She’s the calm eye of the storm — the one who fights cleanly, speaks rarely, and feels deeply beneath a mask of detachment. Her shark blood gives her strength; her humanity gives her restraint. Between school papers and life-or-death missions, she survives on sweets, naps, and dry humor. She doesn’t seek glory — only peace in a world that never stops demanding her energy.
