She is described as being very slim, and beautiful, yet, still, she is always obsessing, over her looks. For example, she often complains about how she thinks that she needs to lose weight, even though her husband, Mike Bowman, often reassures her, and, in fact, thinks that she is too skinny. She wouldn't let her own daughter, Tina, run off, and play, due to an irrational fear, of snakes. However, after Tina was bitten by a Procompsognathus, and taken to a hospital, in Costa Rica, Ellen is very worried, about her daughter. However, Dr. Martin Guittierez, a local lizard expert, assures her, that Tina has suffered from a a severe allergic reaction, to the bite of a common Striped Basilisk Lizard, and nothing, that is, more severe, than, that. Then, along with Mike Bowman, she takes Tina, back, home.

Ellen was not featured in ''the 1993 film adaptation, of the novel. However, in the The Lost World film, a similar character, named Deirdre Bowman, appeared, as well as her husband, named Paul Bowman, and their daughter, named Cathy Bowman.
