She makes a change from Elise (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elsie

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'she' is the definition.

'a change from elise' is the wordplay.
'elise' can be anagrammed to 'ELSIE'.
Though, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'makes' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for elsie that I've seen before include "woman" , "Girl's name" , "Female name; rhymes with London football team" , "Lady" , "Name for girl" .)
