Appearance: Ella is exactly five foot three and a half inches, thank you very much (though her driver’s license says five foot four). She weighs about ten extra pounds than she’d like, but she carries her 140 lb very well and never misses a chance at just one more piece of pie.
Ella has long arms and very womanly curves. Her feet are small and her fingers are just big enough that those blasted standard ‘size seven’ rings never fit very well.
Ella has a rounded face, large brown eyes and full lips. She wears mascara and lip gloss almost every day, just out of habit (and she prefers something with some pizzazz and sparkle but nothing obnoxious). She has a short nose, just like her mama.
Ella usually wears jeans with everything- even if it’s a dress shirt or work jacket. Her jeans are all faded and worn from use.
She loves jewelry. She makes her own and is a compulsive buyer when it comes to pretty sparklies, so she rarely is seen without chandelier earrings or restored diamond studs or peacock feather earrings or some outlandish thing she made up. Living in a small town means you get pegged, and Ella is the girl with the earrings.
Ella has light brown hair with a few streaks of natural red; her hair is almost always all one length and usually reaches halfway down her back. It’s naturally wavy and in the summer, Ella has to battle frizz with every product known to Roswell.
Personality: Sometimes Ella thinks she should have been born a blonde. She’s easily distracted and a little forgetful, thought she doesn’t mean to be. She’s generally cheerful, almost always smiling and is the go-to girl for ‘make me feel better’ sessions. She’s a sucker for a good movie and can cry when she hears a sad story. She laughs easily, especially at goofy, slapstick humor.
Sometimes on the moody side, Ella can reach a point when all of her cheerfulness fizzles out and she needs a shoulder to cry on. After her friends starting pairing off with mates and families of their own, Ella found she had to deal with her bad moments alone.
When angry or sad, Ella locks away her emotions and keeps a smile on her face. More than once, people have said cruel things and she has just laughed it off.
Ella likes to have friends but knows how to be alone. In a group, she’s fun and entertaining to be with, usually making jokes at her own expense to break the ice.
She longs to get out of Roswell, even if just for a while. Sometimes she holds quiet grudges against the ones who ‘marry off’ so they can leave town.
Girls that marry just for their own benefit make Ella angry, as well as guys who mistreat their girlfriends or wives. Ella would rather be alone than with an abusive guy.
Powers: Ella has been able to manipulate water since she can remember. She can freeze it or turn it to steam if she concentrates enough. She tries not to use her powers, but has little control over them. So far she has not been hurt by her powers though.
Hobbies: making jewelry tops the list but she loves a good movie, listening to music in her car, and sampling every sweet known to woman.
Occupation: Ella works part-time at a clothing store in the Chandlery, and takes care of the room they rent out, as well as selling the jewelry she makes.
Extra: don’t let her cook- Ella is a disaster in the kitchen
Parents: Janice Douglas and Bobby Douglas
Siblings: none
Other Members: Ella is the niece of Anne Douglas and cousin of Danae Walker
History: Ella was born on a very quiet May evening in 1985. As a little girl, she had a normal to the point of boring day-to-day life. Her parents both worked in town, taking turns watching their daughter.
Ella discovered jewelry when she was six, and was at the clothing store where her mother worked. She went home nursing ideas for making her own necklace, and started collecting odds and ends and trying to string them. Her first creation had Cheerios, silver (and mostly rusted) nuts from her father’s tool box, a key, a button and a few random beads, on it. Ella’s parents got her a few packs of plastic beads and a lifetime passion began.
Ella got good grades through school in most of her class but struggled in math and failed home ec. In fact, her teacher politely informed her that she was the biggest failure to ever take the course. Ella enjoyed singing in choir, though, and even had several solos, and she became somewhat popular among the other girls because she made ‘cool jewelry.’
Come high school, the other girls were pairing off and Ella found herself increasingly alone. It seemed the girls didn’t want anything to do with her anymore and the only guys who talked to her were the losers. Her parents’ friends kept (not so subtly) asking when she was going to date someone, until she finally started resenting the stupid town that judged her for its lack of good men.
Ella heard many times of Aunt Anne, who had gotten out of town, gotten married and had kids. Ella secretly considered packing up and going on a search for her aunt, just to have a change of scenery- and to get away from those loser guys who couldn’t seem to take the three millionth ‘no’ for an answer.
Her parents rent a room of their house out for extra money and have pretty much left her completely in charge of it. She works part time at the Chandlery, at the store her mother works at.
She may love to eat, but she has a tendency to burn or destroy everything she cooks, so people in the know keep her FAR from ovens and even microwaves.
