Ellie Harris

Ellie Harris is a spare steam driver at The Model Engineers Society. 
== Bio ==
Born December 1995, Ellie first got interested in railways when she first rode on the Model Engineers' railway as a young girl. Ever since then she'd been hooked on steam trains. She dreamed of being a railway employee until her teenage years when her interests were sidetracked by her peers. After leaving school she applied for University to study chemistry and medicine, however the corse she signed up for showed little advantage. On her way home she passed a railway museum and her dreams on working on a railway arose once more. After her Grandad Isaac Harris retired from the MES, Ellie decide to follow in his footsteps and joined the society as a driver. 
She quickly applied for a steam driving corse where she was taught by Casey, who later took a shine to Ellie. After several weeks of hard work, Ellie passed her test with flying colours despite attempts by the Motor Car Society to sabotage the test. 
Casey and Ellie have been quite close ever since, and Ellie is one of the only people Casey can trust to drive his engines whenever he's not available. 
Ellie is also one of the main driver's for the loco Betty. 
== Relationship ==
It is rumoured by members of staff that Ellie and Casey are in a relationship and have been known to meet up occasionally after work. Of course, both Ellie and Casey don't reveal if these rumours are true, but can never tell. 
== Appearances ==
Ellie is 5ft 5" Tall. She has blue eyes and fair coloured hair, sometimes tied back or left loose.
Her uniform is very similar to Casey's but wears a blue shirt instead and doesn't always wear a railway cap.
