Name : Ella Archer Gender : Female Blood Status : Pureblood Age / DOB : 15 / November 16th Current School Year : 5th Year House : Slytherin Occupation : Student
Description: Ella presents a cool, collected and arrogant picture, a 'nose in the air' type of girl. Her icy glare has been known to send first years running back the way they came, and though the girl is beautiful, this is often marred by the poisonous look she so often carries.
Personality : Ella holds enormous disdain for those she views as weak; and so she is at loathe to ever expose any weakness in herself. This has led her to being a very controlled person, as the more guarded she became, the less she felt able to express her emotions; happiness, love, kindness; these were all traits that could be easily manipulated, in Ella's mind, and so she kept them to herself, preferring to emanate stronger qualities; confidence, self-assurance, flirtatiousness. She has that kind of quick intellect that means she doesn't need to study overly hard to get the results that she (or more accurately, her father) demands, and it leaves her time to focus on her other passion; firewhisky. For the most part, no one sees her in this vulnerable state - her drinking stints are usually spent in her dorm, the bed-hangings magically closed around her; but if one were to find themselves in her company, they might actually get the opportunity to see the real Ella; a fragile, lonely girl. More than likely, though, they'd be hexed well before they got close enough to see the pain in her eyes.
Her intolerance of muggleborns comes from her father; a trained way of thinking that even Ella doesn't entirely feel right about.
History : Ella was born to an old, pureblood family, and would most likely have lived a pampered, fulfilling life, had her mother been able to bear her and survive. But when Adale (Ad-Ah-lay) Archer passed away, so did the light in her fathers' eyes; the cruel, blood-supremacist man had never been a warm person, and Adale had been one of the few that could pull the kindness in his heart to the forefront.
Unfortunately, Ella did not share this trait with her mother; only a painfully close resemblance to her that made her the target of her fathers' outraged grief. From childhood on, she strove to make him proud, to feel as though he love her - but no matter how high her marks, her social standing, her quidditch skills, it was never enough.
Her being sorted into Slytherin (about a millisecond after the hat was placed on her head) might be the only thing she's done right, in her fathers' eyes. That and making the Slytherin quidditch team in her second year, in the position of seeker; which obviously suited her best - the other positions' required a higher level of teamwork, and Ella preferred to steer her own ship. Still, her commanding attitude and logical mind made her excellent at the sport, and in her sixth year, earned her the place of team captain. Unfortunately this still wasn't enough to impress her father.
