Full Name: Elizabeth

Nickname: Ellie, Liz or Eliza depending on the person. She prefers Ellie though.

Age: 19

Class: Second Year

Role: Girl 4

Appearance:



Ellie stands at a short 5’2” having been given very few height genes from her parents. She jokes that her 6 foot tall twin brother, Andy took them all. She’s lean, like most professional athletes and over the years has become surprisingly strong for such a small looking girl. After being told time and time again after her mother left them by various family members that she looked just like her mother Ellie began dying her hair blonde. But most would say her most stunning feature are her bright blue eyes. Forunately Ellie was blessed with naturally straight hair so she often gets away with simply brushing it and setting it free.

Once Ellie might have been concerned with trying to look perfect and flawless all the time – but a recent heartbreak has left her not really caring. Well beyond making sure she’s not running around in her pyjamas anyways.

You’ll usually find Ellie wearing jeans and plaid collared shirts when she’s in school and not training physically. Ellie believes school clothing should built for comfort and isn’t too worried about applying make up – having sensitive skin means most brands only irritate her anyways. But now and then she’ll go out on a limb and put some eyeliner and mascara on for a subtle change. (But only if she’s going out or she likes a boy.) A life in near poverty since childhood has taught Ellie that frilly things are unnecessary so she usually sports a pair of comfortably worn in hiking boots.

During training Ellie generally sports Capri sweats in varying shades of grey and racer back tank tops of whatever colour she feels like that day. Though, usually they range in from blues to greens. A comfy pair of black running shoes and a ponytail complete the look.

At bedtime – or really any time where she is hanging out in her dorm room – Ellie can be found in the white tank top she wore under her shirt that day and a pair of fuzzy extra comfortable pyjama bottoms. Fuzzy sheep print doesn’t belong in a demon-hunting academy you say? Well, you’ll have to tell Ellie when you see her.



Ellie’s tattoo takes up most of her back, the body of the dragon resting on her right shoulder blade and the tail stretching around to peak out over her hip. She doesn’t really pay much mind to it, but she has noticed that it doesn’t look as fierce as the dragons of her classmates.

History:

Ellie and her twin brother were abandoned at 15 by their mother and with their father dead they were bounced from home to home with their mother’s family members. Each only kept them for a few months, six at best, before deciding they didn’t really have the room to help the kids and realizing the government assistance they’d receive for doing it wouldn’t be more than was necessary to care for them.

Through all of the moves Ellie began to suffer more and more with the instability. She stopped bothering to make friends and buried herself in books and school work. Her marks excelled, but it was pretty clear she wasn’t as happy as she used to be.

So when they arrived at Greenwoods Prep a year ago it was the first time in years where Ellie finally felt like she could breathe. Sure there was the whole training to fight demons and saving the world from immanent doom thing, but Ellie was taking what she could from this: a stable home. For the next four years Ellie wouldn’t have to worry about moving and that was a security blanket she needed. So as far as she’s concerned coming to the school was a blessing. She’s begun trying to make friends again and enjoying life.

She tries hard in all of her classes and succeeds in most of them, but martial arts just seems to be a weak point for her. Ellie isn’t the type to actively try to hit someone, so even in a controlled setting she’s very hesitant about it. Whip up an elixir to combat the poison of a demon? No problem! Stitch up a bloody gushing wound? Piece of cake! But attack someone?

So she’s been set up with a tutor this year to try to catch her up. She doesn’t know how much it will help, but she’s trying to be optimistic.

Fears:

Ellie is afraid of getting too attached to people. When you get attached it leaves you vulnerable for them to hurt you.

And yet, she is afraid of being alone. Hence why she surrounds herself with so many people. They’re all a show though; covering her fears with an entourage of people she can hide herself in.

She is also afraid of the idea of being parted on a permanent basis with her brother. Him being the only stable thing in her life to this point she takes comfort in knowing he’s always around. He’s the only one she can rely on and share her true thoughts with because he can see through the act. She worries that after school ends they might be separated but trusts that neither of them would let that happen.

Personality:

On the surface Ellie is bubbly, flirty and charismatic with people. She loves a good playful debate, but usually tries to avoid any kind of serious confrontation. Often a peacemaker she is the type who usually gets people to talk about their issues without revealing any of her own. The only one who gets her to talk like that is her brother – she isn’t worried about what her brother will think of her. He’s seen her through everything so she trusts him as a confidant.

She’s actually more of a lover than a fighter, so she’s often confused as to why she’s been accepted to this school – but one of the professors has assured her in her first year that it just takes a real dangerous situation to make even the gentlest people rise to protect the ones they love. Though not really convinced Ellie wants to believe she can be of some help in this war.

She resents her mother for leaving and because of that refuses to talk about her life before Greenwoods. She has decided to live in the here and now and is happy about that.

One of the few friends she actively seeks out on the campus is Evie. Even though her brother and Evie aren’t dating anymore Ellie enjoys her company.

Love interest:

After breaking up with a boy from third year Ellie isn’t much interested in trying to find another relationship right now. She took the break up hard and was hurt pretty bad – though she expects he hurt more by the time her big brother was done with him. Now he wont even meet her gaze.

Other:

Ellie secretly really wants a kitten. But she’s not sure whether or not the school would let her have one.
