Ellody is a genius and incredibly aware that she is a major geek, but really doesn't know how to be any other way. She is also a perfectionist; if something is not perfect, then she will continue to put effort into it, even if it hinders her. Even when her partner decides to "wing it", she expresses concern, exclaiming that she never "wings it". She is miles above the other contestants in I.Q. thus her and Mary's plan of attack is simple: outwit the competition. Having spent all her time deep in study instead of wasting energy on "useless" pursuits like popularity and boyfriends, she feels well equipped to kick proverbial butt.
