### Pre-Story

Ella Althorne II was born Ella Oakley-Cross on February 28th, 2045, to Betty Oakley and Wilson Cross. On the very day she was born, the wind started blowing and never stopped, fluctuating by her mood. On the day of her birth, Betty died of complications with childbirth, most likely related to Ella's kinetic status. Wilson gave her up for adoption in Norton and went to reside in Wellfleet, and Ella stayed at that orphanage until her teenage years, when she apparently read or was told about a scientist who could teach her about her powers.

### Convergence

Ella makes her first appearance in *Convergence,* introduced as a pairing to Nick Althorne as the main characters. She approaches them at the age of fourteen to assist with her powers of controlling the wind, which Nick coins as "ventikinesis". Ella also gets sucked into the afterlife stasis with Nick, meeting the lost souls trapped there.

After engaging in a battle with the warlock, Ella momentarily dies after being crushed by a rock in a one-on-one stand. Nick makes the trade with Mike to let him pass on for the lives of themselves and Ella. Miraculously, Ella is revived and walks away with simply a broken arm.

In this book, Ella is shown to have messy short brown hair, wide green eyes, a camo-ish green shirt, and a brown jacket with deep pockets over it. Her jeans are ripped.

A year after the events of *Convergence*, Nick has successfully adopted Ella.

### Convergence II: Ella's Mystery

After Ella learns her surname, she decides she wants to learn more about her family two months after the events of *Convergence*. She goes to visit the orphanage again, where Mrs. Badgley gives her information on her parents, supposedly named Wilson Cross and Betty Oakley. Ella meets her aunt, Lydia Oakley, through the address book, and takes a bus to Alcott in Boromara to meet her. Lydia tells her some very biased truths about Betty and her lover, Wilson (who Lydia despised) and later attempts to kill Ella. Ella ends up murdering Lydia in self-defense.

Later, Ella finds Wilson Cross on the news, alive, and being talked about in terms of his latest book. She makes the decision to go to Wellfleet and find him somehow, when Nick approaches her and asks to help. Together, they find Wilson's publishing office and later his home, but Ella sees him inside with a new wife and a newborn baby. She's content, and leaves. Later, she discusses with Mrs. Badgley that she'd rather have the family she has now than another. However, this sort of peacefulness is short-lived, when Wilson arrives at Nick's office to meet Ella. He ends up denouncing her after learning of her powers, and the book ends with Ella accepting her place in a family with Nick and Jackie.

In this book, the colors of Ella’s jacket and shirt are swapped.

### Trivia

* If the names of Ella's parents seem familiar to you, then you've most likely played *Bendy and the Dark Revival*. These names were taken from a supporting character and an antagonist during a playthrough of the game. The author, Spyret, is a fan of the *Bendy* game series.
* The name Ella belonging to both Nick's mother and Ella herself was, at first, incidental.
* It is unclear where Ella's powers originate from in genetics, but the warlock gifted her these powers in hopes she'd fight against Nick one day.
