Here is why YOU should vote for Elatsoe in the @aroaceswagcompetition!!

First thing's first -- Elatsoe (goes by Ellie) is the protagonist of the novel by Darcie Little Badger. Ellie/Elatsoe is a Lipan Apache girl living in an alternate version of the U.S. full of monsters, magic, & interdimensional beings from both Indigenous & Western folklore! She's basically living a modern fantasy, Indigenous futurism, and murder mystery all at once.   

Second -- the girl is FULL OF SWAG & MOXIE!! She has supernatural powers related to the dead, can "wake-up" the ghosts of animals (bringing humans back is a huge taboo tho), and has on rare occasions traveled to the underworld for dire circumstances. She faces off against vampires and murderers alike with her faithful (ghost) dog and her best (human) friend!!

Her aroace identity is both canon and respected by her family! The narrative doesn't treat her like she isn't capable of any type of love or caring emotions. (I can't be the only person who's heard "what are you, a robot?" or seen people only headcanon a character as aro/ace if they're super shy or super cold/mean right????) Elatsoe has a FIERCE love for her friends, family, and traditions, and she is more than willing to stand up for them and fight for them!!

Also she has an awesome dog named Kirby who she adores with all her heart and does everything with, how can you not vote for her at least once?? A vote for Ellie is a vote for Kirby!!
