Ella Lopez is the Los Angeles Police Department's forensic scientist. Ella grew up in a pretty rough neighborhood in Detroit, but also in a strong, Catholic family, under the watchful and protective eye of her five brothers. Her grandmother taught her how to pick locks and she used to steal cars.
In "A Good Day to Die", she admits, "It's not fun if you don't drive 'em really, really fast." One day when Ella was eight she was in a car accident, and she was met by Azrael. However, Azrael "didn't do her angel of death thing" because it was a false alarm, but she took a liking to Ella who she found to be a good person, especially because she makes a person feel good about themselves. Upon becoming friends with her, Azrael be-friended Ella and introduced herself as a ghost named Rae-Rae. While Ella moved onto law enforcement, some of her family, including her brother Ricardo, are still involved in shady business. Ella moved to Los Angeles to keep an eye on Ricardo, but he "totally ghosted" her. Ella is easy-going, friendly and quick to greet Chloe and Lucifer with a hug. She seems to be quick to trust people as well along with to make jokes, even at her own expense.
