Biography[]
Kingdom of the Wicked[]
Elsie and her friends go out regularly to practice their magic. At first, they just have fun discovering new powers they can do, with Elsie and Sean attempting to convince the group to become Superheroes. But later the others become dangerous and seek revenge on everyone who has wronged them in the past, while Elsie doesn't want to hurt anyone. After hearing about Kitana killing her Ex-Boyfriend and witnessing Doran dismember his brother Tommy, a disgusted Elsie walks away and wants no part of the group anymore.
After Skulduggery and Valkyrie's fight with Kitana, Sean and Doran, Elsie approaches a construction coordinator, when she is accosted by Kenny Dunne and his camera man. Who ask her if she knows anything about the magic world, but she denies any knowledge. She then asks the head construction coordinator for help, who takes her to Skulduggery Pleasant. Elsie is briefly interviewed by Skulduggery while driving to the Sanctuary, and is more than happy to divulge information about Kitana and her former friends if it means they will be stopped, though she retains that Sean is just misguided and a good person deep down.
While at the Sanctuary she meets with the Elders, taking a particular liking to Ghastly Bespoke. Later when the Sanctuary captures Sean Mackin, whom she has a crush on, she tries reasoning with him to let the Sanctuary capture Kitana and Doran. Elsie tries appealing to the good person she believes Sean is and his originally altruistic goals upon receiving their powers, but he calls her a fat, ugly pig. This prompts Ghastly to enter and defend her by verbally humiliating Sean, and threatening him into revealing where Kitana is hidden almost immediately. As such demonstrating to Elsie how pathetic and two-faced Sean is.
After the battle between Darquesse, Lord Vile, Sean, Kitana, Doran and Argeddion, the four teenagers lose their powers, and Kitana, Doran and Sean are locked away in prison. Elsie is the only one if the group who is completely relieved by the loss of her powers, and looks forwards to returning to a normal life. She confides in Valkyrie that the ordeal has convinced her that Sean was never the good person she believed him to be, and Valkyrie congratulates her on realising that she deserves better. Elsie would then presumably return to her life in Dublin.
