Ellimere (b. ~ November 1910 AW)[1] is a princess of the Old Kingdom, and heir to its throne, a part the assertive and extroverted young woman seems born to play. Her father is King Touchstone and her mother, the Queen, is more importantly the Abhorsen. Like her mother, she attended school at Wyverley College, in Ancelstierre. It can be assumed she is named after her mother's good friend who died binding Kerrigor.

Though she often frustrates her younger brother Sameth a great deal, generally by what he considers her nosiness, bossiness, and her attempts to find him a bride amongst her friends and their younger sisters, they also care about each other deeply. Back when they thought he would follow in their mother's footsteps, Ellimere was willing to let Sam rest from his Abhorsen-in-Waiting duties if he felt the need to recover, and she worries about his safety when he disappears from Belisaere. Ellimere also has a good, almost sisterly, relationship with her young aunt Lirael, even if she also tries to play matchmaker with her.

Ellimere enjoys playing tennis, and asks Sam to make her some tennis racquets in order to teach her friends in the Old Kingdom how to play.

At the second binding of Orannis, Ellimere stands for Dyrim.
