Plum
â Mulan â
â Biography â
The third of a mighty six children, Eliza always had the wish to stand out and not the ability nor equipment to do it. With four brothers and an older sister, Ellie herself was pushed to the background more than once, although she always at least attempted to fight her way back to the front of the picture. As a result of her large family and traditional upbringing, Ellie turned around and did the complete opposite of what she was supposed to and expected to do. She refused her parent's fifties style marriage and closely knit family life, instead searching for a more neutral ground, like Switzerland, as she likes to say. She spent year searching for who she really wanted to be - not just another child in the midst of five others. In eighth grade, however, she found her calling - theatre, drama, acting, most would call it. Ellie herself called it physical art.
Although she loved her family in a sort of detached way, theatre tore her apart from them, and she was stuck with only a cool politeness to them. Bridges that could've been mended were soon broken and torn beyond repair, and she was a stranger living in her own home, although there was one sibling she got along with, and that was Georgina. They were close growing up, as most would expect them to be, being the only girls in a litter of children. However, as they grew up they separated, only to be brought together again for their love of theatre. They've been torn apart again, however, by opposing views on people and lifestyles, something that Eliza regrets yet can't bring herself to apologize for. As a result, she much rather spends her time with friends and pretty paintings - and, of course, her most lovely confidante, Braxton Lelaine, or her 'baby boy' as Eliza lovingly calls him.
â Personality â
Greys and light blues and whites; those are the colours that describe Eliza's personality. With a loyalty to her loved ones that rivals no other yet a selfish dream-like persona that cares only for herself in certain situations, Ellie can be an enigma yet also read like a book. Stories are told through her dark eyes, and chuckle worthy jokes through her lips, curved into a teasing smile almost mercilessly twenty four seven. She prefers to stay out of drama worthy fights yet will step in if needed. A warm personality befitting of a Puritan nun, Ellie will still not hesitate in speaking up if she believes herself to be right and others wrong. However, she is not all sunshine and breezy days - her biggest character flaw is perhaps her almost insatiable need for truth, and expense at nothing to get it. She is almost always insecure as to whether someone is speaking the truth to her, or sugarcoated lies, and thus does not say much about herself as a result, not knowing if other people are saying what they really think, either.
Being a shoulder to cry on is not Ellie's strong suit, but being a quiet and conducive listener is. She prefers not to be the one people go to with problems, as she believes she's lucky to get through the day with her own, but won't ever push someone away, tears and mascara running down their stained cheeks. Ellie is a calm force with a love for all things purely beautiful - paintings, drawings, foods, music or lovely stories. Her fondness is captured in a breezy day under an oak tree, or curled up in the plush loveseat in her living room doodling the sparrow eating bread crumbs from breakfast that morning outside. Her love for finding beauty in everything is also a downfall, as she has trouble believing say, a person with the face of an angel could ever do anything cruel. It's perhaps a Catholic thing, although she hasn't, herself, been to Mass in years, although her mother urges her to go. Religion is a powerfully beautiful thing to her but something she could never personally take practice in.
