Elie was born to a Calvardian father and Crossbellan mother. After their marriage, Elie's father decided to take on his wife's noble last name MacDowell to gain an advantage in Crossbell's complex political sphere. His strong sense of justice fueled his desire to end Crossbell's suzerainty under Erebonia and Calvard.
Despite his best efforts, he could not get the support of his father-in-law Henry MacDowell during his political campaigning. Disillusioned by what he believed to be a hopeless situation for Crossbell due to its relentless political climate of betrayal and greed, he requested a divorce and moved back to Calvard. Elie's mother went on to live with relatives in Erebonia shortly thereafter. Elie began living with her grandfather Henry from this point onward.
Elie met Mariabell Crois during this time and the two quickly became friends.
Elie's interest in politics led her abroad, studying the complexities of foreign government systems in great depth. During her stay in Arteria she met Ries Argent. She attended St. Astraia Girls' School as a foreign exchange student for two months, and also spent about three months studying in Liberl. When she returned to Crossbell from her studies in S.1203, her grandfather and father had decided that it would be best for her to sign up for the police, which had been developing the concept for the Special Support Section. This would give her the chance to pursue justice without the restrictions of a political career path.
Elie joined the Crossbell Police Department with perfect scores on theoretical exams and marksmanship. As a member of the Special Support Section, she is often consulted for her political and economical knowledge.
Elie met Lloyd, Tio, and Randy when they formed the Special Support Section, and her long awaited goal started to become a reality. Together after solving lots of cases and slowly unravelling the corruption in the city, Elie foils a plot to assassinate her grandfather. After foiling the ambitions of Revache, Elie joins her team in repelling an attack on the IBC building by gnosis-affected soldiers and eventually putting an end to the cult's schemes in Crossbell.
Elie is disappointed to learn of Mariabell Crois's involvement in the plot surrounding Crossbell's independence and usage of KeA and resolves to get to the bottom of the truth. She joins the party in resolving Crossbell's plight and its resistance efforts afterwards.
As part of Operation Birdcage, Elie and her grandfather are sent to Mishelam, where they are subsequently kept busy dealing with minor bigwigs, in order to remove them and the other members of the Special Support Section from the public eye. They are later released.
Later, Elie and Estelle come to the aid of Class VII beneath Orchis Tower against Cao Lee and Lau. She later does this once more in the Lake Elm Wetlands where they engage the Zauber Soldats in battle.
Elie is present at the the multi-national summit to discuss Operation Mille Mirage on board the Pantagruel. When the Glorious attacks, Elie joins the girl's side and confronts Mariabell. Later, she helps rescue her mother from an incursion of the Spirit World onto the material world by one of the Seventy-Seven Devils. Elie is part of the Crossbell team that attacks one of the fake Salt pales and later comes to the final battle against Ishmelga-Loge.
Elie conducts an operation with the other SSS members to expel Rufus Albarea's personal guard and retake Crossbell. They succeed after a battle on Orchis Tower's rooftop. Afterwards, Elie and the SSS complete various missions in the run up to the re-independence ceremony. At the ceremony, Rufus appears and launches a coup, defeating the SSS and causing them to disperse.
Elie is one of the first SSS members to reunite with Lloyd, joining him in the Armorica Village area and in their mission to find KeA and Ilya. At the Sun Fort, they confront Garcia Rossi and Cao Lee before discovering Ilya's identity as the Dusken Dancer.
Elie is part of the final battle against Elysium at the Retributive Tower.
Speaker MacDowell's granddaughter and secretary. As a member of the SSS, she goes to great lenghts to aid its bright-eyed leader however she can.
Good Friend Alisa, currently staying in the city, is all-too happy to congratulate Elie on Crossbell's reindependence, proving their friendship transcends national borders.
Regrets Elie initially feels guilty for losing sight of KeA at the signing ceremony, but Lloyd convinces her to keep her head held up high.
The Secretary's Life Post Crossbell's liberation, Elie opts to continue her secretarial work at Speaker MacDowell's side. It is clear she is well on her way in the world of politics.
