Ellie really doesn't like using contractions and abbreviations, and they only come out in times of extreme stress. She's... not exactly snobbish, per se? But she's very self-conscious, and the way she combats it is through speaking in a rather stilted, overly-literal manner, which can easily be confused for snobbery. She's very much a self-insert writer, with very little regard for canon - but the difference is, again, that it's deliberate. They're wish-fulfillment stories that allow her to cope with her "demons", they only exist to carry out that one particular purpose, so frankly what could it possibly matter if they details aren't exactly right? It defeats the object of the exercise as she sees it.
I used to be like that. I kid myself into thinking I'm better now. =]
Also, given that Elsa is one of the bloody X-Men, I think that she'd probably find work as campus security or its analogue. Same with Leia, funnily enough; I envisage them as having something of a rivalry in terms of skill at arms and so on. Perhaps something to consider when you're using the uncrowned mob. =]
