Ellie is full of boundless curiosity. In particular, she wants to know why humans act in the strange ways that they do, though she's been known to ask about plenty of other subjects as well, such as dinosaurs and astronomy. She hopes to find a human companion who is excited about analyzing and narrating their experiences, and who does not mind being quoted in the book Ellie plans to write. If you are a fan of floppy, silky-soft, pocket-sized monkeys, and if you also might happen to know why humans find it awkward to say goodbye and then continue walking in the same direction, you could be just the right friend for Ellie!
