[hider=Ellen Nancy] [indent] [color=green][h3]Name:[/h3][/color] Ellen Nancy [color=green][h3]Age:[/h3][/color] 33 [color=green][h3]Appearance:[/h3][/color] Ellen's a right-out understated bohemian type, often wearing throwback-influenced clothes as a form of self-expression. Her chestnut-brown hair is long and more on the auburn side at times. Occasionally she wears horn-rimmed glasses, but lately wears contact lenses more frequently [img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/83/ab/7a/83ab7a0d62af9e90cfb819b2972aa364.jpg[/img] [color=green][h3]Family:[/h3][/color] n/a [color=green][h3]Occupation:[/h3][/color] Graduate Art Teaching Assistant, Drumvar University / Musician (psychedelic rock guitarist/drummer) [color=green][h3]Personality:[/h3][/color] Ellen is a vibrant human being. While being extremely intelligent, she’s rather ruled by her emotional nature. While the quality is a terrific asset in her approach to art, it can color her social interactions somewhat unpredictably. She might react hastily to a situation that she wasn’t prepared for, or lose her temper easily if too frustrated too quickly under just the right conditions. She’s old enough by now that she’s developed enough self-control to mitigate most potential disasters of such nature, but it doesn’t prevent her from having an incessantly busy and taciturn inner monologue during such instances. Ultimately, though, she’s got good intentions. When not in conflict, Ellen can be charming despite also being rather absent-minded, eccentric, and occasionally clumsy by way of both body and speech. [color=green][h3]History:[/h3][/color] Ellen grew up as the oldest daughter of an American infantryman, moving frequently around the world until she graduated from high school and double-majored in both Journalism and Art History at the University of North Carolina. After graduating, she worked on and off as a producer in various newsrooms before tiring of the conflict-heavy environments and then began work as a graphic designer at a small firm in Austin, Texas, then in New York City. All the while, she developed her abilities as a songwriter and musician, taking influence from mostly U.K. acts such as The Beatles, T Rex, and David Bowie. After a great deal of encouragement from friends, she applied at the age of 32 to pursue further studies in art at NYU and was shocked to be accepted. A year into her studies, she was offered an opportunity to do a graduate student exchange at the University of Drumvar, with a chance to earn experience as a teaching assistant. Not at all one to spare an opportunity to not visit the homeland of another musical hero of hers, Donovan Leitch, Ellen enthusiastically went. She's been in Drumvar for approximately five months, and while she still has yet to truly carve out her social network in town, she dreads the idea of leaving. Life in Drumvar has been rather peaceful but also pleasant and exciting; teaching has been going smoothly, gigs aren't hard to get, and people are generally very friendly.
