1) Describe your character's backstory. Who are their parents? Did they grow up with Nobility, or were they of lower class? The character's backstory must be at least 2 paragraphs long.

Ellie came from a human father and elvin mother. She grew up in Saint Annie's orphanage, when she was separated from from her brother, Toby. Her mother was forced (for an unknown reason) to move away from her husband and back to the Lost Cities. He never learned about his wife's elvin origin, or Ellie's birth for that matter. After she moved back to the Lost Cities, Ellie's mom gave birth to Toby and sent Ellie (only two years old) to work for the black swan. The Black Swan gave her a mission, to keep Freya (See Another Moonlark) out of trouble. After supposedly dying, Ellie was transported to the place everyone the Neverseen had killed.

After the events of The Past Revealed, Ellie and Freya headed to the Lost Cities to find some peace and quiet. On the light-leap there, Ellie's chocolate brown hair was turned a milkie blond. Just another mystery she couldn't solve. Ellie wasn't quiet ready for peace yet, though. She needed to find her mother. After meeting up with Toby, Ellie still didn't know the identity of her mom. After some thought, she decided she didn't care about her mother. Her mom had given her to the Black Swan because her mother didn't care. So for a while, Ellie gave up on her quest to find her mother, and focused on her father. She didn't know much about him, just that he was human. She could also remember the hour they had spent together before her mom left him. She could remember how he made her laugh and how his gray cats would crawl all over her stomach when she went to sleep.

Her father, unlike her mother, cared about her. The only reason her mother would take her back would be because she saved the world and all that gossip. Her father loved her for who she was, not who her best friend was. After a year of searching, she finally found him in Rhode Island, where she learned that his memory had been erased. The Washers warned her not to go near him, for his memories would be triggered, but Ellie didn't listen. Sadly, when the memories that had been wiped blank came back, Ellie's father was so confused, that he went mad. He started spreading tales about how he could find Atlantis and all the other myths humans believed in. Ellie, horrified by what she had done, ordered the Washers to clean his mind. Because of everything that Ellie had told him, he was never fully healed, and was placed under the watchful eye of the human and elvin government.

2) What is your character's personality like? Are they respectable, or rude? The character's personality must be a paragraph long.

Ellie is has many sides to her. Depending on the situation, she can act rude, funny or kind. If you mention her parents, or how complete and whole your family is, then she may turn sad. If you are a close friend of hers (Currently only Freya), she can be funny and kind. She will help her friends through everything, and will always protect and be loyal to Toby. When Ellie takes a glance at you, she knows if she likes you or hates you. If she hates you, then she will start with rude remarks and her classic snarkyness. Ellie is not someone you want to make enemies with, but it takes tons of patience and loyalty to be her friend.

3) What does your character look like? Do you have a model in mind for them? (if you do, you only need to say who it is)

Her model is Gemma Ward. Ellie has milkie blond hair and sea green eyes.

4) Describe your character's skill set. What they are good at? What do they want to be good at? What are they not good at?

Ellie has always been good at helping people with their personal problems, trying to forget about her own. Being talentless, she didn't have many job opportunities. She had thought about working at the Sanctuary, but decided against it. She is good at sneaking around and often can steal expensive and cheap things with ease. She is also a surprisingly good fighter, but only defends herself and the people she loves. She usually doesn't use weapons, only her legs and fists. She is against the thought that boys are stronger than girls, and stands up for her rights many times. She is really bad at lying and trusting people is very hard for her, because of how her mom abandoned her.
