Ellen wanted to be a merchant, and was working as a guard on a sailing ship to learn the master's skills before taking command of her own craft. She protected the ship from pirates and water monsters – but no one on board was ready for the creatures from the space beyond thought. They sliced open a gap in the stars and rushed inside like a wave of insects, slaughtering everyone on the ship. Ellen fought them off in a battle that reduced the ship to splinters.
She survived to find herself on a beach, and made her peace with the goddess who was supposed to protect space. Ellen built up her magical powers from the stars to take out those threats from the stars. Now she wanders the world, searching for any invasion from the other realm.
