GENERAL APPEARANCE: Ellie looks like a happy girl. She has healthy looking skin, pale but glowing, and dappled with freckles over her round cheeks and arms. Her brown eyes are bright and lively, and her makeup has been done to compliment her natural beauty rather than caked on. Her red hair is healthy and springy and she doesn’t do much to it, but rather allows the curls to choose their own direction. From ages thirteen to sixteen, Ellie struggled with anorexia but she now has won the battle and is gaining weight, though constant exercise and a strict diet (minus occasional splurging with friends) keeps her trim. She is curvy and likes to show off her looks in sundresses and quirky outfits.

CHARACTER HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
Early Years: Ellie was the darling of her parents. Her mother had always had this romantic notion of having three kids. Her father was fine as long as he was able to name two sons after his father and his grandfather, Francis and Elliot. He was given his chance to immortalize his father’s name with their firstborn, but when they discovered that their last child would be a girl, he was briefly heartbroken. Kaitlyn insisted that Elliot was just not a suitable girl’s name. However, when he was given the birth certificate, he booted out the name Katherine Taylor Hansen and named her Elliot Katherine Hansen- deeming her Ellie.
This is where the trouble started. After that simple act, the trust between Kaitlyn and Densel began to wane. Kaitlyn turned to spending, and Densel turned to drinking. Meanwhile, Ellie was growing up. She was too young to be a friend to her siblings. Ellie made up her own friends and tramped about the neighborhood with her parrot Engels, her sister’s kitten Mittens, and her brother’s toad Warty, as well as all of her stuffed animals. When she was six, however, she met Judd Lewis, a neighbor. A few months later, she was introduced to the shy boy Foster who became her lifelong joke- she was always teasing the boy. Ellie had friends.
When Ellie was seven she began piano lessons. When she was eight, her tutor began challenging her to do ‘quick writes’ and those led to a sparked interest in writing. Her interest for reading began too, and she began begging her mother to buy her books, journals, and sheet music. Her mother, always wanting a reason to drown out the pain in shopping, was only happy to oblige. Ellie followed her family’s footsteps and was accepted into Hogwarts, being the first in the family of Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs to be sorted into Ravenclaw.
Hogwarts Years: Ellie and her friends were obsessed with comedy for their first two years. Pockets crammed with joke books, they were constantly cracking jokes and telling puns. Ellie, however, did have a serious interest in school- an interest in every subject too. A passion for Transfiguration arose, and when she wasn’t studying, she was reading her own material. After her second year, however, tragedy struck. During the summer, her father suffered a minor mental breakdown after being fired and attempted to strangle her returning mother. The only child at home at the time, Ellie screamed for a neighbor’s assistance while attempting to pry her father from her mother. No one was permanently hurt, but her father was put in jail for attempted murder. The last thing her father had yelled at her was “Get your fat hands off of me.”
The girl with the long fingered hands from her experience playing guitar took it to heart. She stopped eating. Her struggle with anorexia became a secret battle from her third to sixth year. Meanwhile, she began adopting new ideas- first pretending to be sexist, then deciding she was a Buddhist, before denouncing all organized religion, before becoming obsessed with Gothic poetry, and settling into feminism in her seventh year. In her sixth year, she managed to kick her anorexia, but the struggle continued to arise. She caught the mystery disease along with her two friends in her final year and was unable to complete her seventh year. They all opted to go back and retake the year.
