Speculations and observations

• Elly was the name of Dorothy in the alternate retelling of Wizard of Oz
• Elly's Grief seed was not shown directly after the fight in episode four on almost all broadcasts and streamings. But in the same seen on delayed AT-X broadcast at 23 April, her grief seed was added in film. It may be BD/DVD version.
  • This, along with the small barrier size, lead many fans to believe that she was merely a familiar until the official website was updated with her details.
  • The seed that Sayaka uses in episode six was probably Elly's. Also, chapter three of the manga clearly shows her dropping a seed although the design details are different, like all of the grief seeds in the manga version.
• The H.N. in Elly's name can stand for Handle Name, a term for nick name in Japan. This would mean her true name is Kirsten, while she referred to herself as Elly as her other identity on the internet, or maybe while she was still a magic girl.
• Elly's name may be a reference to the character Eri Mizutani from THE IDOLM@STER Dearly Stars. Eri was a hikkikomori internet idol that went by the name ELLIE.
• Elly said "It was very fun, let's go again. Next time with a Bentou" (今日は本当に楽しかったねえ、また行きたいね。今度はお弁当持って行こう) in reverse speech right before Madoka entered her barrier.
• A picture of a girl in a magical girl-like attire appears in one of Elly's television screens; this is speculated to be her form as a magical girl. At the very end of the series, a motif shot of silhouettes of several magical girls appear; the silhouette of this girl is seen among them, giving credence to this theory.
