OVERVIEW: She is fiercely independent, headstrong, and opinionated. Whatever the subject may be, Ellen almost always has a commentary to make on it. And usually those commentaries are quite long. Elle is completely unafraid to share her opinions which has gotten her into trouble once or twice in her life. However, she understands when she needs to be quiet. She is stubborn as hell. If she has her heart is set on something, she will not let go. A sharp mind is her best quality. She enjoys learning and schoolwork and can be seen studying at the library all the time. Frankly, she's brilliant, and she isn't afraid to show it.

She is feisty and fiery, but those are not her only character traits. She truly does care about people. Sometimes she just has a funny way of showing it. Her friendship is true, and she is very loyal. She loves her family, and would die for those closest to her. Her heart truly is in the right place. As a friend, she can be harsh. She hardly ever sugarcoats things and can be bluntly honest. Whenever she hurts people's feelings, she never means it. And if she sees that she's honestly hurt someone, she'll apologize without even thinking about it. She has a hard time fitting in with those her age. She's very mature, and acts ten years older than she is.

Ellen is what one would call a guarded person. She doesn't trust very easily, and it takes a lot to become her friend. That is because she's very insecure. She's afraid of disappointing her mother, so she thinks friends are distractions. She's never had a boyfriend. Deep down she wants to be a normal teenager. She wishes to fit in even though she says otherwise. Some days she believes she's just a freak. A freak who studies too much.

Alyssa Watson, 43, Journalist
SIBLINGS: Ena Watson, 14, Student
OTHER FAMILY: none

PETS: none

SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS: Upper
HISTORY: On the sixth of March, Ellen Elizabeth Watson was born to Marcus and Alyssa Watson in New York, New York. The couple had wanted a child ever since they got married, and for the longest time they couldn't conceive. When Alyssa found out she was pregnant with Ellen she was ecstatic. The moment their little girl came into the world her parents fell in love with her. Marcus and Alyssa decided to name her after Alyssa's mother. A few years after Ellen was born, the couple had another girl named Ena. For the most part, the young girl's early childhood was full of love and attention.

As she grew older, she began to find her own identity. Physically she took very much after her mother, but she was much more verbal and open minded than anyone else in her family. Even as a toddler Ellen loved to talk and boss people around; she never did anything harmful except for tire out her parents from chatter. Her family and friends all knew she was going to be a handful when she became a teenager. To try and expose their daughter to the performing arts, her parents invested in piano lessons when she was a young girl. She hated them with a raging passion at first, but as she got better at the instrument, she grew to love it.

Starting school was difficult for the young girl. She wasn't used to being in a contained setting, and she had to learn to sit still and be quiet. Academically, it was quite obvious she was above the other students. Ellen caught onto ideas and concepts a lot faster than most, and her language skills were sky high. During her early childhood, she met and befriended John Copland who lived in the apartment next to her. They were inseparable, and whenever Ena tried to hang out with them, Ellen would get a bit annoyed. Everyone joked that one day John and Ellen would get married, and he was actually her 'first' kiss. The two of them attended elementary school together, and Ellen used to get in trouble for talking or moving around in her seat too much. The time passed quickly, and soon Ellen was in middle school. Being able to move from class to class and taking subjects from different teachers was definitely easier for her.

Ellen's parents sent her away to Hawthorne Academy for high school. They wanted to send her to the best secondary school they could afford, and that was it. She struggled to make many friends, and became an outcast. People made fun of her for studying so much, and claimed she didn't know how to have fun. Although she is still friends with John, he is much more popular than she is, so they aren't as close.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:

After Rodolphus had rejected her those many years ago she was completely empty inside. Of course, she hadn't been all that surprised to wake up the next morning with him gone, but for some reason her heart had wanted him to stay and love her. Finding out about the pregnancy was not easy for her either, and considering she had Kevin in her life it was far too easy for her to conceal the whole ordeal completely. That didn't stop her from feeling what she felt, and even now staring at him with complete hatred, for a second, she could remember a time when she loved him. A time when he seemed more human than beast.

Ellen could feel the anger Rod felt, but she wasn't afraid of him. Had she been the young Gryffindor girl she was many years ago she'd be completely afraid, but put on a brave front. Now she simply didn't care; Elle had punished and hurt herself so many times it was almost refreshing to have someone other than her conscience beating her up. Actually, after the initial shock of seeing him she felt as if she was in a dreamlike trance. Here they were, two people who knew each other in school seeing each other for the first time in four years. So many emotions were swelling up inside of her that she felt as though her chest would break open. Hate, passion, lust, love, loathing. Feeling them all at once was overwhelming, so overwhelming she was surprised she was still standing. Eventually hatred surfaced as the dominant emotion, and she acted so obviously out of that emotion.

Feeling herself being pushed into her own home by the man she hated more than anything only caused her to loath him even more. The worst part was she couldn't do anything because her wand was upstairs in her room, and physical assaults would not work on someone as strong as Rodolphus. All Ellen could do was steady herself, and prepare herself for whatever abuse he'd use on her. After all, he was clearly here on vendetta; nobody was simply this angry just because, and Rodolphus was not the type to indulge in nostalgia. If he was here for the reason she thought he was here for he would have to do more than bully his way into getting an answer. She was no dummy, telling him that Nate was his son would mean he'd try and kill him. Ellen could not let that happen; she would even go to the grave to keep her son alive.

Her heart was pounding in her chest as he made his reason for barging into her house more than crystal clear. Fire started to burn inside of her chest. This side of her had never been unleashed, and it frightened her a bit. Ellen was far more frightened of herself than she was of the man capable of murdering many. "How dare you," her words were said with such disdain and silent hatred they could practically cut ice. "How dare you come here and invade my life!" Her stance was cautious, ready to dodge him or run if she needed to. "You have no idea what I've gone through, and for you to come in here and break into my house!"

Angrily Ellen walked up to him, not caring what the consequences were, and stared him straight into his eyes. "You want to know the truth?" She repeated back to him mockingly before slapping him across the face. "You'll never know the truth," She was ready to endure what ever it was he was going to throw at her.

ANYTHING ELSE?: nope!
