Since I don't have access to the 'god of the woods novel', I can only make general assumptions. In such a novel, the god of the woods could be an ancient and mysterious figure. Maybe it's a character that has been there since the beginning of the forest's existence. It could have a connection to the spiritual essence of the woods, and perhaps its powers are tied to the natural cycles of the forest, like the changing of the seasons. The god of the woods might also play a role in the lives of the people or creatures living near or within the forest, either as a benevolent protector or a fearsome force to be reckoned with.
Ellie could be a new superhero in training. Maybe she has some sort of power related to energy manipulation. She looks up to Peter and Wade and wants to learn from them. So she gets involved in their adventures and gradually becomes an important part of their team.
Well, in a story like 'Ellie's Story: A Dog's Purpose Novel', apart from Ellie, the main characters could be the people she lives with. They would be the ones who take care of her, train her, and form a deep bond with her. There might also be some antagonists, like people or animals that pose a threat to Ellie or her family. This would add conflict to the story and help in exploring Ellie's purpose further.
