Ellie Hernandez was born on December 20, 2002, in the gritty heart of Los Santos. As the middle child in a struggling family, Ellie learned early on how to survive in a world that was often unforgiving. Her father abandoned the family when she was young, leaving her mother to raise Ellie, her older brother Dana, and her younger brother Saki on her own. The streets of Los Santos became Ellie's classroom, where she quickly learned the importance of being tough, resourceful, and street smart.

Ellie's natural aptitude for fixing things became apparent when she was just a child. Spending countless hours in her uncle’s small auto shop, she quickly became adept at tinkering with old cars and motorcycles. By her teenage years, Ellie could rebuild an engine with the finesse of a seasoned mechanic, earning her respect among the local gearheads. Despite her rough upbringing, Ellie dreamed of a better life, one where her skills could help her escape the hand she’d been dealt.

At 18, Ellie's life took a drastic turn when her mother fell seriously ill, and the mounting medical bills began to overwhelm the family. Desperate to provide, Ellie took on extra work at the auto shop, but the money wasn’t enough. One fateful night, a local gang member approached her with an offer that was hard to refuse: modify a stolen car for a high-speed getaway, and she’d be paid more in one night than she usually made in a month.

Though she knew the risks, Ellie also knew this was the only way to keep her family afloat. She agreed, and her reputation as a skilled, discreet mechanic quickly spread through the criminal underworld of Los Santos. This decision marked the beginning of her double life, one where she balanced her passion for mechanics with the darker demands of the streets.

Ellie’s expertise didn’t go unnoticed by the shadowy figures of the Vape Underground. Squeeze.vape, the enigmatic leader of the organization, recognized her potential and approached her with an offer she couldn’t refuse: join the Vape Underground as their lead mechanic, where her skills would be used to maintain and modify the fleet of high-performance vehicles used in illegal street races, smuggling operations, and other clandestine activities.

Ellie knew the risks but was drawn to the promise of a life where she could truly make a difference. Within the Vape Underground, she found a place where her talents were not only appreciated but also crucial to the success of the organization. Under the alias "Wrench," Ellie became an integral part of the team, trusted by Squeeze.vape and his inner circle to keep their operations running smoothly.

By night, Ellie continues to lead her double life, using her skills to modify vehicles for the most dangerous and high-stakes operations in Los Santos. She thrives on the adrenaline that comes with living on the edge, knowing that one mistake could cost her everything. The money she earns is substantial, allowing her to support her family and pay off her mother’s medical bills, but it comes at the cost of her peace of mind.

Despite the danger, Ellie remains focused and determined, her sharp mind and quick wit helping her navigate the treacherous world she’s now fully immersed in. She’s fiercely loyal to the few people she trusts within the Vape Underground, knowing that betrayal could be just around the corner. Her skills as a mechanic have made her an indispensable member of the team, but they’ve also made her a target for those who wish to see the organization fall.

At 23, Ellie finds herself at a crossroads. The life she leads in the Vape Underground is starting to take its toll, and the constant pressure of living a double life is wearing her down. The police are getting closer, and the risks are higher than ever. Ellie dreams of one day leaving the criminal world behind and opening her own legitimate auto shop, a place where she can use her skills without fear of the law. But for now, she’s stuck in a dangerous game where the stakes are life and death, and every decision could be her last.

Ellie knows that trust is a rare commodity in the world she inhabits, but as a member of the Vape Underground, she’s proven herself time and time again. She’s in too deep to turn back, but her determination and loyalty to her family keep her moving forward, even when the odds seem insurmountable.
