Background

Ellie's mother and father were simple folk, kind and caring, but always had high expectations for her. Her mother, gifted in herbology found the love of her life, a muggle, who shared her love of all things green and growing. Together they created a simple life tending and caring for plants and selling them at their small store front which catered to both magical and non magical patrons in separate parts of the shop.

Ellie grew up as a happy child, never asking for much, but given anything she would need. Homeschooled while her parents tended the shop, her upbringing was closely tied to the small family business, although she does not share a natural talent for herbology that her parents did. Ever wanting to be the perfect girl in their eyes, their only daughter makes every effort to make them proud.

Ellie spent much of her time growing up at the flower shop, the small flat she was born into just above, helping around when she was old enough. Although she shares her mothers love and appreciation for greenery and flowers, Ellie doesn't have the same knack when it comes to keeping plants alive, something that she knows disappoints her mother.

Personality

Ellie is a shy, yet happy child. She enjoys being around people, and never yearns to be the center of attention. Awkward and with little coordination, she is constantly tripping over herself and dropping things, drawing that unfortunate attention. She holds together a bundle of nerves, constantly second guessing herself and assuming the worst in most cases. She often lets her imagination run wild with all the what ifs until she is overwhelmed. Squirrelly, finding it hard to stand still, she is constantly looking about, wanting to be involved but invariably terrified of letting others down.

Physical Description

Ellie is a slight girl. Short, lanky, perhaps too skinny. Freckles dot her face, half covered by long reddish-brown hair, with an untamed curl constantly getting in her eyes. Her hazel brown eyes are curious, yet often darting from place to place as she nervously bounces. For reading she is supposed to wear thick glasses, but often chooses to squint and struggle as her glasses tend to constantly slide from her small face.
