Personality:
Strengths:
+Courageous+Resilient+Independent+Protective+Dutiful+Stoic+Concealment+Manipulation+
Ellie is courageous, showing no sign of weakness even if in the face of a foe she knows she cannot defeat. As she has grown, she has suffered great trauma, but every time she is knocked down she gets back up again and stands her ground. In recent years she has grown very independent and actually prefers not to rely on others. Her once timid demeanour has escaped her and been replaced with a calm yet somehow stoic attitude. She will defend the ones she loves with her life, and is incredibly protective of them. In her time away from the world, she feels she has become more open minded. She has become very dutiful. She has become very good at concealing her true feelings and will use such to trick and manipulate people if necessary.
Weaknesses:
+Trust+Temperamental+Paranoid+Reckless+Unstable+Violent+Unforgiving+Anxious+Bitter+Cruel+Judgemental+Gerry+Adrenaline+
Ellie has intense trust issues and thus doesn't allow herself to make a lot of friends for fear of being hurt. She has adopted her mothers temper, meaning she can easily flick from relaxed to bloodthirsty and is incredibly paranoid. Her courage, though admirable at times, can also be reckless if she does not have the means to defeat whatever she is standing up to. Her life so far has been a tough one, and so her emotions are all jumbled, meaning she can be pretty emotionally unstable and very violent, especially when it comes to people she cares about. On top of this, she does not forgive easily, and does hold grudges. She does not often give second chances. Recently her paranoia has peeked, and it makes her rather restless, she has become increasingly anxious about people and their motives, meaning she finds most positive social interactions disingenuous. She is indecisive as of late. She battles with her own mind constantly and she can be very bitter. She can be a bit too casual about her own mortality. She is a bit too emotionless and can come off as cruel or rude. She has begun to expect the worst of people, so she comes off as pretty judgemental sometimes. Gerry is one of her weaknesses. She would also lose it if anything ever happened to him. Raigo and everything to do with him makes her very vulnerable. After spending a good amount of time in peace and quiet, Ellie's propensity for adrenaline has become even more of a problem. She can sometimes get fidgety about not getting a kick. She is currently struggling with anger management and she is especially triggered by lots of noise. This has become even more of a problem since her revival. She is even less in control of her emotions. Alvaro, her cub. She has sat idle for 9 months and is itching for some reckless excitement. She constantly relives bad memories, in her dreams and when she’s awake, an enduring problem that has resurfaced.
Likes:
+People Watching+Security+Baking+Cooking+Singing+Water+Overpowering+Hunting+Adrenaline+Whittling+
Ellie enjoys watching and listening to people and things. Observing the world as it goes on, but never really inserting herself in it. She likes knowing that those she cares about are safe, and is easily upset by the slightest dangers. She enjoys baking and cooking as well as singing, though she’d never sing in front of a crowd. Over time she has developed an interest in water, specifically the ocean. It can entrance her at times. She enjoys the thrill of having power over someone, controlling their fate. She has begun to enjoy hunting again. She is a bit of an adrenaline junkie, but has recently tried to counter this and instead taken up whittling.
Dislikes:
+Loud Noises+Masks+Magic+Theodra+Most People+Overly-righteous people+Assumptions+Faking+
One thing Ellie has never gotten over is her jumpiness, meaning she is not a fan of loud and sudden noises. Her paranoia means she does not like suspicious characters, particularly people who wear masks. Ellie does not like magic in any form, divine or arcane, and there are only a few mages and blessed that she actually trusts to use it. Her distrust for people in these disciplines is fast turning into hatred. She either hates or dislikes anyone who isn't family or a close friend. She does not enjoy overly-righteous people. People assuming she is anything more than she says she is. Feeling as if she has to put up a front. Uncertainty. Snakes. Helplessness
Fears:
+Wolves+Failure+Drowning+Attachment+Losing Loved Ones+Trust+Vulnerable+
Ellie isn’t too fond of wolves, and has many nightmares about losing the people she holds dear or being unable to protect someone she loves. She is afraid that she will continuously watch people drown. She has become scared of attaching herself to the wrong people. Losing Leighton Losing Segar again. Trusting people. Being Weak. Losing Raigo. Snakes. She fears she will never fully remember who she was. She also fears that what she does remember she will not like. Being a bad mother. Getting close to and caring about people.
Education: Fairly good.

General Attitude: A typical, stoic northerner. Distant. Somber. Prone to random outbursts of anger for seemingly no reason.

She returns to find Ardaric has broken into her house, and, after punching him in the face, is offered a position as a Royal Guard in Eldpoint. She sneaks into Stoltfar under the guise of a pilgrimage and is rather suddenly made to realise the full consequences of her actions. She becomes emotionally closed off, focusing on her job.

Bennett shows up and she starts looking after him a little bit. They hike and find Axex in the mountains.

Once the evacuation in blackrush is lifted Ellie briefly returns to Stoltfar and is asked to lead by her brother. She is warned of a possible threat and says her goodbyes to her two companions. She heads back home, but not before visiting Leighton. She is visited by Raigo who apologises for the past, and quickly their friendship blooms once more. She then bumps into Reynard. He tells her her will go for good. She is left feeling a little strange, and anxious. Ellie and Raigo confess their affection to one another and quickly fall deeply in love and become inseparable. She meets Ava, and does all she can to make her like her before they have to tell her the truth. She invites people to build shrines in her bow building. They tell Ava and she is not happy.

Gradually she begins socialising more and feeling a sense of belonging, but then she takes part in a hunt for a vymbat, and then ends up involving herself in a religious skirmish which only results in making her feel horrible and so she shuts herself off again.
