Elle Driver
Elle Driver, a.k.a. Cailfornia Mountain Snake, is a fictional character and major protagonist of the two-part film Kill Bill directed by Quentin Tarantino. She is a member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad and, by the time of the film, is the only member to remain loyal to Bill, the Squad's founder and leader, though she is also ambitious. Elle is portrayed by actress Daryl Hannah.
Elle is the least sympathetic and seemingly the cruelest of the Deadly Vipers, killing for her own pleasure; however, she is able to recognize and respect skill, as she does with film protagonist Beatrix "The Bride" Kiddo. She is also extremely ambitious, as well as very protective of Bill, though she is not above using him to achieve her own ends.
Elle, like Beatrix, is a swordswoman and is loyal to Bill. Elle and the Bride despise each other immensely, and it is implied that their mutual hatred came to be before the events of the film. Elle is jealous of the Bride's status as Bill's lover, implying that Elle herself also had some kind of sexual relationship with him. Despite this, Elle does grudgingly respect the Bride, describing her as "the greatest warrior [she] had ever met" and also believing that she deserved better than to have supposedly met her end at the hands of someone like Budd.
Like Bill and The Bride, Elle was trained by Pai Mei. When she showed disrespect to Pai Mei by calling him a "miserable old fool", he responded by plucking out her right eye for her insolence, which is why she is shown to wear an eyepatch over it. In retaliation, Elle murdered Pai Mei by poisoning his meal of fish-heads. When Bill learns that the Bride survived the attempt on her life, he orders Elle to go kill her at the hospital where she was then lying comatose. Disguised as a nurse, Elle nearly injects the Bride with a deadly poison when Bill calls her to abort the mission. Though Elle wanted to kill the Bride while she was incapacitated, she abides by Bill's wishes.
