Please stop using the words 'bad ass', it reduces Ellie, one of the most rounded characters in any video game, to a b movie clique. In that situation, what else would she do? Think about this carefully before just conjuring a scene in your mind that fits the scenario for THIS particular character. Would she lose it? Would she be cowering in the corner? There isn't many options other than to be who Ellie has been throughout the whole game. Bravado fits her personality, especially when there has no other option. Context changes everything. Ellie finally showed her vulnerability when her antagonist was dead and no longer a threat. She falls apart in Joel's arms because the space to do so opens up. That letting go leaves her numb for quite some time, leading to a scene that seems to have baffled many people for some reason. Just after being attacked and in her mind about to be 'raped', having finally let the act drop and fallen into the arms of her Father, we move into the scene at the bus station and people ask: 'Why is Ellie looking unhappy?' No, seriously, I saw so many Let's Plays of people not connecting the two scenes properly and being confused.
