Appearance

played by: Brookelle Bones

Head:

Ella and her twin were blessed with a practically flawless head. Ella’s head, for instance, is a nice combination of oval and round shaped. Her skin is evenly tanned, though the tan is very light. Her face is always blemish free to the point where Ella doesn’t need to wear a lot of makeup, but still does. Her eyes are a piercing blue, always highlighted with dark eyeliner. Her lips are plump, but not too plump. Ella’s hair is dyed pitch black, and she has had extensions added so her hair falls to her waist. When she and her sister were younger, they both had blonde hair. Both girls hated the blonde hair more than anything, and had vowed to change it the minute they were out of sight of their parents. Her fringe covers her forehead, but is swept to the side, sometimes hanging in her eyes. Ella knows she has a pretty face, and she is not afraid to use it to her advantage.

Body:

Along with having a practically flawless head, Ella’s body is flawless to match. She had always been a slim girl, always complimented on for her gorgeous figure. Ella doesn’t work very hard to maintain this figure, though she does have a love for bike riding. Ella was not very blessed in the breast department, but she makes do with what she has. Ella has long legs which she shows off when the weather permits.

Other features:

The only problem Ella has ever been able to find with herself is what she calls her “baby face”. Though very pretty, Ella’s face makes her look younger than she is, and she is often mistaken for a child.

Height: 5’7”
Weight: 55kg (121lbs)
Style:

Since she was a young girl, Ella had always had a style of her own. From the moment she could dress herself, Ella had never allowed her mother in her bedroom to help with the dressing process. At age 15, Ella has now developed a style that works for her. When not in her school uniform (which she has altered to the point that it is unrecognisable as the OHA school uniform, anyway), Ella’s wardrobe consists of all different colours, mostly bright colours with a bit of black thrown in. She wears shirts that show off her figure, usually low cut. Ella is partial to pants that are ripped. Her closet is full of ripped skinny jeans, and ripped tights (which she usually wears under skirts or shorts). Ella also loves boots and heels.

A friend’s view towards your character:

“Ella is an overly hyperactive teenager. She’s hooked on coffee, and I’ve seen her eat the beans RAW. She’s the Minister of Magic’s daughter, but rarely owns up to that. She’s not good in the public eye, never has been. Since she was old enough to know what was going on, Ella and her sister have defied their parents any chance they could get. Some charity function? Forget it. Ella and Maria would be in the corner plotting ways to ruin the evening. They still do that, even in class. But apart from their diabolical evilness, they’re actually very nice girls. Ella has a bit of a partying problem, but she’s young. She wants to have fun and live her life without having to worry about the consequences. Ella does have this look in her eye. It’s one of those, ‘Mess with me and I will destroy you’ looks. I’d be afraid to cross her.”

An enemies view towards your character:

“Ugh. I don’t think Ella would know her front from her back. She’s such a ditzy little thing. She thinks she’s so talented with her wand, but really she knows nothing at all. She packs on the makeup. What’s she trying to hide? Is she a troll under all that makeup? And those clothes! You’d think being the daughter of the Minister would give her access to some decent clothes. But no, she prefers to dress in rags. I suppose she’s trying to be ‘unique’. Yeah right. She can just go choke on a bezoar for all I care.”

Patronus: Fox; like the fox, Ella is cunning, quick-thinking and clever.
Mirror of Erised: Being able to break free from her father’s shadow.
Boggart: Losing herself.

Favorite Memory(s):

Ella’s favourite memory is not the conventional type. Most teenagers have the same variation of favourite memory. Something to do with their family, and all being together for the first time in a long time. Ella’s favourite memory has nothing to do with her family. Well, it includes her sister. Ella’s favourite memory began at the age of 13. It was around this age when she first discovered her love of coffee. From that first sip of the beverage, Ella became a completely changed person. She had never been a depressed child, but she’d never been truly happy. With the discovery of the muggle beverage, Ella’s personality took on a dramatic change. All of a sudden she was practically bouncing off walls, talking a mile a minute. Her love of coffee has remained with her since then, and she has also moved on to other things, including alcohol and drugs.

Proof of Magical Powers:

There was no “one occurrence” that told Ella she was a witch. From the minute she was able to talk and understand things, Ella knew she was a witch. She merely picked up her mother’s wand one day and repeated a spell she’d heard her mother say several times.

History at School:

All Ella had wanted when she entered Oasis Hill Academy as a first year was anonymity. But of course, that was never going to happen. She’d been in the public eye since she was a child. Of course, it took people a while to figure out who she was as Ella and Maria had dyed their hair black a few months before entering the school. Having black hair allowed the girls a few months of peace before people began to put two and two together. Twins with the same last name as the Minister of Magic? And their faces looked familiar, too. And so, halfway through her first year, everybody wanted to be friends with Ella. Ella began to be very picky about who she allowed herself to get to know. By the end of her second year, Ella had surrounded herself with a small group of people she trusted.

It was late into her third year that Ella (having been drinking coffee for a very long time now) went to her first party that served alcohol. She had been offered a sip of firewhiskey from one of the older students, and from that moment had been hooked. She attended parties almost every weekend, and always ended up the same way – sprawled out on her bed the next morning moaning about her headache and complaining about the noise her dorm mates were making. This continued into her fourth year, when she was offered to try something a bit different. A muggle drug that had been brought in with one of the muggle born students. It had been called “ecstasy”. Ella had never felt anything like it in her life. And so started her newfound addiction. Coffee during the day, alcohol and drugs on weekends. Not a good impression on the Minister of Magic, but Ella had never cared about her father. He had always tried to make Ella and her sister act like “respectable young ladies of society”. Ella and Maria had never had any interest in that. They were the “bad seeds” of the family.

Now in her fifth year, not much has changed. Ella still parties. She still drinks coffee by the gallon. She still wakes up every Sunday morning with a hangover (though thankfully, sometime during their holidays Maria had managed to concoct an anti-hangover potion).
