Zed, you better stay dead! (WIP)
Elaine is invariably in good humour; even in the most trying circumstances, she has a wisecrack remark or words of encouragement to keep spirits up. She leads by example, but she knows not everyone has her courage, which she acknowledges is at least partly due to the discipline and pride of being a police officer, not to mention her training in firearms.
While she's protective of those weaker than her, and of anyone who's genuinely scared, sick, or otherwise damaged, Elaine won't put up with people taking advantage of her or of others. Malingerers, thieves and cowards will get a no-nonsense slap upside the head for their first offence, and retribution will escalate from there.
Despite her warm appearance, Elaine is not hampered by sentiment in the fight for survival. While training to join the force, she also took a career development module as a triage nurse; she isn't afraid to make tough decisions to ensure her - and humanity's - survival.
Elaine carries the standard-issue Glock 22 handgun. The clip carries 15 .40 S&W rounds, and Elaine has three spare clips, meaning she currently has 60 rounds.
