We’ve learned so much about Joel and Ellie in such a short period of time. Since HBO’s The Last of Us premiered on Jan. 15, Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey have taken us on a journey like no other. The Game of Thrones alumni star as smuggler Joel and teenager Ellie, an unlikely pair who must venture across a treacherous post-apocalyptic America in order to meet a resistance group known as the Fireflies during an outbreak of the Cordyceps fungal infection. As a result of Cordyceps, most of America have either been killed or become Infected, resulting in a world-wide pandemic that forces survivors to ration food, supplies and weaponry.
Ellie Williams, played by Bella Ramsey, meets Joel in the Boston QZ (Quarantine Zone) after the outbreak, revealing herself to be an orphan who was raised by FEDRA, the ruling authorities of the QZs. She met and befriended Marlene, the leader of the Fireflies and a friend of her mother’s, at 13 years old. Ellie had a limited knowledge of the world before the Cordyceps outbreak, as she’d never lived outside of the Boston QZ. Ramsey’s Ellie might share similarities with in-game Ellie, but there’s a lot about HBO’s rendition that we’re still unsure about. In fact, we’re more privy to Ellie’s life through Ashley Johnson’s portrayal than we are Ramsey’s… and there are a lot of unanswered questions concerning her past.
