Elaine Roberts, also known as Help I'm trapped in a driver's license factory , is a stick figure character in xkcd. She is portrayed as the oldest child of Mrs. Roberts and has a younger brother named Little Bobby Tables (whos full name is Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--). Her main appearances take place in the 1337 series, where she is first introduced as the world's best hacker. But her first name was given in the title text of her first appearance.
Her hacking journey began when she spent four years learning from Donald Knuth, who mentored her in his hidden mountain retreat. With determination and skill, Elaine eventually surpassed her mentor's abilities. Notably, she successfully broke into the NSA headquarters with the help of Adrian Lamo. Additionally, she played a significant role in collaborating with Steve Jobs to shape Apple's future direction. In her quest for digital freedom, Elaine joined forces with Richard Stallman to confront the MPAA and RIAA, fighting against their skilled ninja fighters.
When she is drawn as an adult, she has white shoulder-length hair, and is a named version of Blondie, like how Rob is a named version of Cueball. It is theorized that they may simply be the same character.
Name
According to title texts of 327: Exploits of a Mom and 342: 1337: Part 2, her first name is "Help I'm trapped in a driver's license factory" and "Elaine" is actually her middle name. This means that Roberts is her last name, since it's also her mother's surname.
