Like most ardents, Ellista has a shaved head. She had never liked dealing with her hair, which leads her parents to joke that she became an ardent just so she could shave it off.{{book ref|sa3|i|2}}

{{sidequote

She is a fan of risqué [[Alethi]] epics.{{book ref|sa3|i|2}}

 

Ellista moved to the Jokasha Monastery at some point before [[Dalinar Kholin]] began receiving visions during {{Rosharan date|1173}}. She considers herself lucky to have a place in Jokasha, as it is a desirable location for many ardents. Before becoming an ardent, she thought that scholars did not bicker, but has since realized that was a misconception.{{book ref|sa3|i|2}}

|Look, there’s easy proof here that the same writing system was once used all across Roshar... Not a diaspora of texts, but real evidence they wrote naturally in the Dawnchant.

While attempting to read ''[[An Accountability of Virtue]]'', Ellista is interrupted by several ardents arguing about the movements of the Everstorm. Hoping for some peace and quiet, she leaves her reading nook in the monastery's library and makes her way to a reading desk in a nearby hallway. Unfortunately, she is again interrupted by discussion of the new storm and is forced to move. After having no luck in the lower buildings, Ellista ventures into the forest where she was at last alone, and could read uninterrupted.{{book ref|sa3|i|2}}

 

In the forest, Ellista is soon found by another ardent at the monastery named [[Urv]] who hoped to check on her progress with the Dawnchant translation. Much to her dismay, Urv does not leave after she hands over her notes, instead settling down nearby to review her translations. Ellista gives Urv a synopsis of her research on the Dawnchant, and he is suitably impressed. While they talk, Urv notices that Ellista is sitting on her copy of ''An Accountability of Virtue'' in an unsuccessful attempt to hide it. Urv comments that he has read the book himself, and offers to lend Ellista the sequel in exchange for her help translating the [[Covad Fragment]]. He claims that he is working on the fragment at the request of an unnamed patron.{{book ref|sa3|i|2}}
