Ella

Ella is a character in Part Timers. She is played by actress Jade Martz.

Description
Ella is a homeless woman that was found in an alley and hired on to Pork E. Pine's. She seems to have a problem with customer's personal space.

Ella is a mooch, preferring to couch surf or live at Pork E. Pine's. She is also involved in illegal actives, such as schemes with Ian and substance abuse. She is also sexually open, preferring multiple partners. She knows various obscure and bizarre sex moves and has been involved in orgies, notably during Anton's "Brazilian Porcupines Galla". She may have an STD, or she may have had a pregnancy scare as she mentions visiting the free clinic.

Although not the smartest, Ella is physically strong and not easily intimidated by physical threats.

Ian
Ian and Ella are close as they both enjoy underhanded money-making schemes and immature humor. For example, in the episode Breaking Mads they attempt to involve Pete in a complicated plan to steal quarters from the arcade machines. Though thought-out, their plan is ill conceived due to Ian and Ella's air-headed nature. It is also shown in this episode that Ian and Ella share a secret hideout behind one of the staff lockers. In the episode Ian Gets Kidnapped, Ella is the only employee genuinely worried about Ian and insists they get him back. She also warns the kidnappers not to hurt him and tries to make them attend Ian's stand-up comedy shows and laugh at his bad jokes as part of the stipulations. In Friend Zone Problems they become "real friends" instead of just "work friends".

Lori
Ella is one of Lori's least favourite employees due to her flakiness, irresponsibility and general laziness. In New Ian Sucks Ella tries to stop Anton from revealing a nude painting of Lori they find, as Ella believed it would be an invasion of privacy. Ella also married Lori to keep her from being deported to Canada, though the marriage did not bring the two closer other then in a legal sense.

Mads
Mads agrees to let Ella stay with her in Hobophobic. Ella is excited to be Mads' friend, but her intensity and invasions of Mads' personal space causes a fight and for Mads to take back the offer. They do eventually make up and remain friends throughout the rest of the series.
