She's never really been rooted in anything and just goes where the wind takes her even if it's to the center of a terrible storm. She's incredibly intelligent. Book smart and a survivalist, Ellie never struggled in school. It was the practical every day things that Ellie struggled with. Personal History Ellie's short life has been one of tragedy, loss, and unspeakable grief yet it was not always so. She was born into a well off magical family in Bluebell Town, GA where she would spend all her life. She attended Blue Ridge school with her older sister and younger brother and made many friends while she was there. She learned and did well in school but she also fell in love. Aaron Ellis, who seemed rough on the outside, caught her eye when she was young and it was in him that she truly found someone special. He showed her a softer side, a romantic and sentimental side and she turned to mush every time he smiled. It was like magic when they were around each other but there was something about him that she had to keep hidden, something she hadn't initially cared about until she got older. He was muggle born. It had taken some convincing on his part but they ended up dating for some time. They were happy and she found herself falling painfully in love with Ace. But Gemma found out that he was a muggle born and not only that but he was constantly getting in the way at the protests. Gemma ragged on Ellie that she deserved better, that she should find a proper wizard who wouldn't get in the way so much. It took months and it was heartbreaking but Ellie walked away when she finally realized it would only hurt more if she waited. She was young, impressionable, and completely loyal to her sister. She got caught up in Gemma's activism and chaos, she fell into it with nothing to stop her, not even her own heart. It was a gradual process that lead Ellie to end things with Aaron and get into that car full of explosive with Nora and Gemma in 2006. It was a freak accident that set off the bombs in the car and trapped Ellie and Nora inside. It was quick thinking on Gemma's part that got Ellie out of the car alive, but it wasn't unscathed. Her vocal chords were damaged beyond repair, leaving her mute. She spent quite a bit of time in the hospital after the accident but she would learn that the consequences of that day would shake her very foundations. Ellie hates herself now for the mistakes of her past and feels like there's no way that it will end well. Her sister and her first love. She has suffered terrible loss and grief, yet she feels she has not suffered enough for her past sins and she has not yet forgiven herself for her own mistakes. After her accident Ellie stayed in the hospital for quite some time, her only visitor being Ace. He came on the days she really needed him and the days that she could't stand too look at him. Ellie, unable to speak and without a home went back to her alma mater, Blue Ridge and applied for the job as the groundskeeper. She knew it was a low profile job that would keep her safe and out of the newspapers. Everyone around her thought she was a huge disappointment and was wasting her talent but she thrived as groundskeeper. Ellie made easy work of it and loves spending time outside. She began to fade as a public figure over the years but there was always one person who would never let her forget who she was and she could curse Ace every day for that. | ||||||||
