エレン・ベーカー エレン先生 えっちなエレン先生 エレン・ベーカー先生
An English teacher that first appeared in NEW HORIZON's English language middle school textbooks with the 2016 edition, that got famous on Twitter, which prompted many artists to draw her, to such an extent that it prompted worry from the original artist and publisher.
Has blonde hair in a sidewards ponytail held together with a hair scrunchie, with green or blue eyes. Often portrayed in a blue overcoat/jacket with a white shirt underneath and brown pants/long brown skirt. She has a famous pose of her swinging a bat, baker at bat.
Would be replaced in the middle school textbooks starting from 2021, having moved to the elementary school textbooks with the 2020 edition, albeit changed with a brand new design as a result of an art style change. Another tweet featuring her went viral in 2023 resulting in more people finding out where she had gone.
