Personality
Elle is an attractive blonde sorority girl from California. She attends Harvard Law School in an effort to rekindle a romance with her ex-boyfriend Warner. Who had ended the relationship before heading there himself. Although superficially nothing more than the stereotypical 'dumb blonde', she demonstrates a surprising intellect even before going to Harvard - albeit mainly focused on fashion-related details - and also shows genuine concern and care for others. She eventually earns her Juris Doctor, gains the respect of her peers, and becomes engaged to Emmett, who she met on her first day of law school. In the sequel to the original film, Elle is in the middle of planning her wedding while in line for a promotion at work. She decides to track down the birth mother of her beloved dog, Bruiser, and discovers that she is being used for animal testing. After getting fired for trying to bring up the testing facility, Elle goes to work on Capitol Hill, seeking to advance animal rights. She begins the film with naive expectations about the motivations of members of Congress, and although these expectations are dashed, she perseveres and succeeds in the passage of the desired animal rights legislation. At the end of the movie, she marries Emmett in Washington, D.C, and is seen looking at the White House when she is asked where she wants to live.
