"Yes, please~"

Even though there's 600 shenanigans with magic, some evil villain, amnesia, and an age gap, she's very in love with this old man. They go shopping around the city, knit by the fireplace, and make gingerbread houses together during the holidays.

Elli was always been a bit intrigued by Kas, thinking he's so well put-together and intelligent. Because of this, she was also a bit intimidated by him and tended to gravitate more toward Jack, but Elli quickly figured out Kas is an extremely reliable and patient person even if he is a bit snooty at times. They bond over cozy hobbies and eventually she finds herself falling in love with him. However, Elli has a lot of insecurities about Kas being way out of her league. She once again feels extremely hurt and abandoned when Kas ends up with amnesia and forgets her.

"Let's paint our nails and be cute tonight!"

Even before going through hell and back with the boys, they clicked so much despite how different they are because they bring out the best in each other. Bree is always ready to stand up for Elli and whip her into shape or be a shoulder to cry on. If it wasn't for Bree, Elli's life would be a lot less adventurous in general, and Elli is deeply grateful to Bree for being there for her during her breakup with Edvard. Bree almost feels like an older sister who makes her feel safe. Even though Bree's wilder side comes as a surprise to Elli, she knows deep down Bree has a good heart and Elli loves her for it.

"Hey! No dessert before dinner!"

Jack is basically the male version of Elli... if she was also a hitman and a nudist. They're two optimistic dummies who fight over who gets to make dinner for the group. They also spend a lot of time hugging. She has trouble connecting the goofy Jack she knows with the fact that he's a wanted criminal due to being a hitman, so she mostly tries not to acknowledge his profession.

"I'm sorry, but I think... maybe we shouldn't talk anymore."

They were neighborhood friends and started dating when they were 14. Elli loved him dearly and even though she was perfectly content with staying in Dalen, getting married, and starting a family, she was willing to pack up her things and move with him to Paris. Edvard was an ambitious guy and was never happy with what he had; he always wondered if there was something more out there. He was an adequate boyfriend, but Elli did let a lot of his more selfish tendencies slide because she accepted that was just a part of who he was and she loved him, so everything would be okay. While Edvard attended university in Paris, Elli picked up the slack and worked full-time to support him with the plan of going back to school once Edvard finished. She excused his emotional distance and absences as him being stressed and busy with his studies.

Although it's never outright said — and Elli has yet to tell anyone about her suspicions — Edvard cheated on her and he eventually broke up with her. She was absolutely devastated and after many tears, she's pulled herself back together for the most part. It takes her over a year to tell her grandmother that her and Edvard broke up and Elli is still in the habit of speaking about the breakup as if it was her fault for not being enough for Edvard. At some point during all the drama with her, Bree, Jack, and Kas, she's desperate for something familiar and backslides into hooking up with Edvard again. He seems to want her back, but she immediately regrets her actions while accepting that her life is simply just different now, so it's time to move on.

"Love you to the moon and back!"

Elli is extremely close to her grandparents and spent a lot of time with them all throughout her life. She got her love of baking, cooking, and crafts from her gran while her love of astronomy and hiking came from her gramps. She's always felt her grandparents gave her more than enough love and support and has never blamed or resented them for her mother abandoning her. They've always felt bad for being too optimistic about her mother coming back for her and only gave up when they saw it negatively affecting Elli as a child, but she holds no ill-will toward them for giving her false hope; instead, she understands that the whole family was hurt by her mother's actions and she doesn't blame her grandparents for trying to believe in their daughter. She was always more of a (grand)daddy's girl and loved going out on late-night hikes with him to watch the stars. His sudden death deeply affected Elli even though she buried her grief as much as she could. She can't help but feel abandoned by her gramps even though she knows it's entirely irrational and unfair.

She still keeps in contact with her gran and frequently videocalls her as much as she can. Even though her gran supports anything Elli wants to pursue in life, Elli can't help but feel guilty for leaving her gran on her own.

"..."

They have absolutely no relationship and Elli has no memories of her mother. All she knows is that her mother dropped her off with her grandparents when Elli was about 7 months old. Knowing that her mother kept her for 7 months quietly gnaws at her confidence even as an adult because she can't help but wonder why her mother suddenly changed her mind. Was she that much of a bad baby? Did her mother try for those 7 months before deciding Elli was too much of a burden? Did her mother ever like her?

She has vague memories of catching her grandparents whispering and pleading on the phone with her mother to come back. Her grandparents' foolish optimism caused a young Elli to spend nights in front of the door, waiting for her mother with the hopes that "soon" was going to be that night. Her grandparents eventually gave up on Brenda and hid away all of her photos and memories, hoping to put that chapter behind them so Elli could move on.
