Ella Lopez

## Background

### 1990 - Present: Ella Lopez

Ella is the only daughter of Hector & Amelinda Lopez. She grew up in a pretty rough neighborhood in Detroit. Despite this upbringing, she was born & raised in a strong, Catholic family under the watchful & protective eye of her five brothers. To escape her testosterone filled household, she would frequently hang out with her cousin Veronica Lopez, who was the only child of Ella's aunt & uncle.

Though her brothers were quite the nuisance, they taught her & Veronica everything they knew. She learned how to pick a lock at the age of eight & even helped her brother Jay hot wire a car when she was fifteen. She somewhat regrets it but said it was fun, especially when you drive the care really fast.

As her brothers continued to be involved in shady business, Ella decided to do a complete 180 with her life. Both her & Veronica decided to go into law enforcement as their careers. Enrolling at college, Ella majored in forensics & passed her classes with flying color. Veronica, on the other hand, struggled some & eventually dropped out to join the police academy. They finished around the same time & joined the Detroit Police Department.

She probably would have stayed there until Ella decided to move to Star City to keep an eye on her brother. She applied to become their forensic scientist & was called back the next day to ask how soon she could start. Upon joining the department, she quickly became friends with detectives Chloe Decker & Dan Espinoza.

Nowadays, she spends her time solving crime for Star City Police Department as their stellar & bubbly forensic scientist. As for personal life, Ella has not found her partner in life but still dabbles in a local troubled bad boy every now & then.
