Ellen

:
Ellen is a playable character in Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown, appearing as an Echo Fighter for Viola.
==Character Description==
Ellen is one of the main characters of The Witch's House, appearing as the main antagonist of the game. She is also the titular protagonist of The Diary of Ellen novella. Originally from the slums of a medieval time, Ellen was born with a curse which took the form of an incurable, terminal illness which caused her to be shunned by society. After an incident involving burying a black cat and subsequently failing to keep her family together, Ellen killed her mother for apparently abandoning her as well as her father for ignoring her to the bitter end, orphaning herself and inadvertently burning her own house in the process. Having nowhere to go, Ellen opted to pass away in a dark alley outside her former home, the Demon offered her a contract which she accepted, unaware of what she got herself into as well as ignorantly accepting her sickness to be cured in the process. Upon realization that it still progressed inside of her, that she had been deceived and lied to, Ellen was reborn as a Witch.
=== Role in Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown ===
Ellen originally appeared merely as a Palette swap for Viola. However, she was promoted to being an Echo Fighter for Viola instead.
== Moveset ==
===Playstyle===
Ellen's body is declared the owner of the Witch's House. As much as she could, she is able to manipulate the house in her own ways with the souls paid to the demon. Ellen's display of pressure from the obstacles of the house comes alongside more direct manipulation of the stage. She is able to whittle down opponents and close in with more power kill moves than Viola. While not being able to exchange souls in the same way as Viola, she loses move upgrades for the ability to call forth traps with her Neutral B to let her close in on foes, much like the final chase scene in her game.
===Souls===
Ellen has a special mechanic where she has to gain Souls by fighting enemies in order to exchange them for upgrades to her Neutral Special.
