Nickname: El, Ellie, May
Age: 17
Birth Date: March 28th, 2983
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Role: Fire
Appearance: Ella has three scars of her left cheek, and a huge birthmark on her leg that looks like a tattoo. She does have tattoos though, such as one on her right arm, one on her left arm, one below her right elbow, and one below her left elbow.
Personality: Ella doesn't mind being looked at. Her confident, sassy attitude usually places her in the spotlight. She is known for her wits and sarcastic comebacks. To strangers, she is a complete bitch, but they eventually get used to her attitude. The fact that she has an extremely short temper doesn't make matters better when involving with others. Ella May can freak out over the smallest, unimportant things, but can be completely calm and collective during huge, catastrophic situations. Weird, right? She is her very best under pressure. She knows exactly what to do and how to do it.
Despite being sarcastic, Ella can be the biggest sweetheart in the world! However, it is very rare for her to be kind and generous towards others. She thinks it is boring to be so innocent and caring, so she'd rather be spunky and sarcastic. Hell, even when she's nice she's sarcastic! A week or few days she maybe be in her sweetheart mode, but no more. Sometimes she just can't help being kind. It has to come out sometime. To her friends, family, and crushes, she is kinder than usual, but not completely kind. She's herself. A little kind, but rather sassy. Don't be fooled by her sweet-looking face. This seventeen year old has been through a lot and as a result distances herself from others at random times. Strip away her smile, fierce eyes, and
break down her walls, all that remains is an innocent, scared, little girl.

History: Ella's parents were never really around. She remembered growing up with her dad more than her mom. Her dad was her idol, best friend, and her hero. He was always so kind to her, making her laugh and caring for her. Her mother remains in her memories from seeing her once or twice. Ella remembers seeing the female fighting with her father when she was about 4. She remembers the woman, her mother, saying something about taking her daughter with her. Her father became furious and shortly after another round of screaming, her mother left. She remembers seeing her father cry for the first and only time in her life. She remembers asking him what was wrong, and him scooping her up in his muscular arms, crying into her hair. He assured her everything was alright and that they'd never be separated. That promise didn't last long.
Ella was only 11 when she heard about and later encountered the Zorks. She and her father were at the store getting groceries when she saw the newspapers. The title, Aliens on Earth?, made her nervous. She showed her father, but he reassured her that it was probably nothing. A week later she met them. She remembers walking home from her friends house and having the feel she was being followed. She was only a few yards from her house when everything happened. She remembers it all: the screams, the fire, the crying, the blood, the scattered limbs, the severed heads--including her fathers.
From then on she lived underground with a family her father chose to take care of her, incase anything happened to him. They were known as the Hoovers. The Hoovers tried their best to connect to El, but she wouldn't respond. They decided to give her time. The two parents, Betty and Richard, and seven of their eight kids left Ellie alone until she came around. The only one that communicated with her was Logan. The five year old would come and just sit in her lap. They would just sit there and do nothing. It took about a year for El to start talking. She started by singing Logan to sleep, then she would eventually talk to him when he came to her. Step by step she opened up, but she wasn't her old self. All she could do was be negative, so the oldest Hoover, 18 year old Bryce, pulled her aside and fixed her attitude so it was how it is now.
When she first found out or how she found out about her powers, she doesn't remember. That remains a mystery.
Other:
- The vine on her leg is a birthmark that grew as she did, not a tattoo.
- The birthmark is genetic on her mother's side, apparently.
- Ella's birthmark glows, but then disappears when she uses her powers.
- Love is blooming in her heart for one of the other elementals, even though she's denying it.
- Since she was 11, she has had nightmares every night. They are slowly getting worse, causing her to cave further and further into herself.
- She's a ticking time-bomb, waiting to be set off.
