"I'm a total shrimp, which makes me look younger. I'll be able to stay in that area longer, which is good, because there's more competition in your 20s."
 * Ambiguously Gay: When Elliot first became well-known, rumors abounded that they were gay; this was never confirmed or denied by Elliot themselves, who nonetheless poked fun at the idea in a sketch on Saturday Night Live; however, in 2014 Elliot came out during a speech at the Human Rights Campaign's "Time to Thrive" conference in Las Vegas.
 * Bifauxnen
 * Brainy Brunette
 * Cannot Tell a Joke: The basis of this video.
 * Celebrity Endorsement: Elliot gets paid to promote... computer networking products for Cisco in a campaign portraying a Grass Is Greener little town as the new tech hub of the universe (which just happens to be in their home province of Nova Scotia).
 * Dawson Casting: Almost always played a teenager while in their twenties, which is understandable given that they actually looked considerably younger than they were. In Super and Inception, Elliot played characters in their early twenties, which they were at the time, and started getting "proper" roles as adults in their 30s as of the late 2010s.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Frequently.
 * Dyeing for Your Art: Elliot had their head shaved on camera for Mouth To Mouth, and starved themselves to play a torture victim for An American Crime.
 * Fake American: Anyone remember their last Canadian role?
 * Forehead of Doom: Bounced a soccer ball on their forehead while on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, after admitting they were extremely self-conscious of its size.
 * Older Than They Look
 * One of Us: Elliot likes comics, especially indie ones - notably I Never Liked You by Chester Brown.
 * They've also done, uh... planking, apparently. Awesome.
 * Also see Celebrity Endorsement above. You don't have to be geeky to flog computer equipment, but you at least have to not worry people will think you are.
 * Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Totally owned the Juggernaut. And did you see what they did to Nite Owl? Not to mention bending Paris in half.
 * They also... did... bad things... to Rainn Wilson.
 * The Stoic: In interviews on environmental work, Elliot always speaks in an extremely calm, serious and almost professorial manner.
 * Teens Are Short: The reason for their Typecasting below. On the bright side, though:


 * Tomboy: Many of Elliot's characters are like this, and they used to play with action figures and climb trees in their childhood.
 * Typecasting: For quite some time, Elliot was typecast as an atypical, rebellious teenage girl with an attitude. However, 2010 (Peacock and particularly Inception) denoted a shift to more varied roles.
