[b]Appearance:[/b] Ella stands at the average height of 5'5", with slightly tanned skin and brown eyes. Her unremarkable features would cause her to fade into a crowd if not for her hair (dyed bright pink, naturally blonde) and the way she dresses. She always has a somewhat dishevelled, mismatched look. Her mother tells her it's a shame, she could be pretty if she dressed better, but she doesn't listen. She likes wearing what she wears, and adding her own touch to things, whether it's giving an elegant skirt a ragged edge, replacing lost buttons on a jacket with ones that don't quite match, or making a necklace out of soda can tabs. Her favourite item of clothing is a patchwork dress she made herself from fabric scraps of many clashing colours and patterns.

[b]Biography:[/b] Up until now, Ella has lived her entire life in Feyhollow. Her father was often away while she was growing up, and he still is, leaving her with her mother, who works as one of Feyhollow's beauty show judges. During her teenage years, Ella worked at weekends and over the school holidays as a cleaner in the hall, and often watched the shows her mother judged. As she watched more and more performances, she noticed something.

Yes, the shows were certainly impressive, but many trainers tended to use the same Pokemon in the same way. The emphasis in Feyhollow seemed to be on a rather narrow definition of cuteness. She liked the typical fairy types well enough, but why were there some Pokemon nobody seemed to use?

Her mother, disappointed in what she saw as her lack of taste, tried unsuccessfully to get her to be more like her two older sisters. They would have a chance of following in her footsteps as judges, whereas Ella wouldn't. Ella knew what she wanted to do, though. People laughed when she mentioned this, but her dream was to travel the region, working towards a specific goal.

The shows she'd grown up watching had given her an interest in something bigger, something she'd only ever seen on TV but longed to take part in herself. Contests seemed to allow much more freedom, many more kinds of Pokemon and moves than what she was used to seeing. The ideal life for her was that of a coordinator.

One day, after work, she noticed one of the rubbish bags moving. It turned out not to be a rubbish bag at all, but a Pokemon, a Trubbish. Delighted to see a Pokemon that didn't often appear in her hometown - from what she knew about Trubbishes, they were more common in larger, more polluted areas - she couldn't resist spending a while playing with it. When it followed her home, her mother didn't react well, to say the least. Putting her foot down, she forbade Ella from becoming a trainer or coordinator if she was just going to reflect badly on the family by befriending such Pokemon. Nonetheless, Ella continued to feed and play with the Trubbish in secret, recognising it by its slightly ragged ears.

Her luck turned around on her eighteenth birthday, when her aunt, who supported her dreams, gave her a Pokedex and a Pokeball. Her mother was far from happy, but Ella was growing up and she couldn't stop her leaving home. After a few days of heated arguments, Ella set out to leave her old life behind her and see what the world had in store.

[b]Personality:[/b] Ella has that type of bubbly energy that some people find fun, and others find annoying. After years of dreaming, she's eager to explore the region and befriend Pokemon, growing as a trainer and coordinator. She's viewed as having odd taste - she'll openly express how adorable she finds that Stunky, or how that Weezing's Smog is the most beautiful thing she's ever seen - which can weird people out. She doesn't mind too much, though. She just wants to bring out the best in all Pokemon.
