## Description

Ellie Lux (19) is a happy go-lucky, bubbly ball of sunshine. She is optimistic and sometimes naive, but has people's best interests at heart. Clumsy beyond belief, she often finds herself tripping over and tumbling into embarrassing situations. In fact, the only time she seems to have any co-ordination is oddly on skates.

She is not particularly skilled in anything outside of roller derby. She is quite clumsy and ditsy at times, forgetting things and causing herself to be easily flustered. She is very interested in history, poetry and music. She enjoys practical work and working with her hands especially decorating things and creating art. She's decided that (despite having zero knowledge) , that she can make it as a mechanic in the city. It was Ellie's idea to move to Los Santos and with enough persistence, she's convinced her best friend to come with her.

Ellie's favourite music styles are Disco, New Wave, Pop but she is open to all kinds of music. She is the number one fan of her friend's band "Our Empty Mirror". They play metal music which Ellie has grown to admire too.

Favourite songs include : Girls Just Want To Have Fun (By Cyndi Lauper) , Heart of Glass (By Blondie) , Take on me (By A-ha) , Africa (By Toto) , Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go (By Wham! ) , Dancing Queen (By Abba), September (By Earth, Wind & Fire) , Just Can't Get Enough (By Depeche Mode) , Let's Dance (By David Bowie) & Running Up That Hill (By Kate Bush).

Ellie has red hair, dark brown eyes and freckles. Her hair is quite curly and thick. She is 5'1 and has a slim frame. She enjoys wearing bright colours and flashy patterns. Lux believes glitter and a bit of pink paint can fix up anything from drab to chic. Her dream is to spend her time doing something creative.

## Background

### Life Before Los Santos

Ellie Lux was born in Ireland in 1966. Her parents moved to the States when she was 15 and she grew up in Liberty City from then on. She was enrolled in South Broker High School. Despite her best efforts, she found it difficult to make friends and ended up losing herself in music. She became obsessed with pop music and started to naturally find her confidence through music.

When she turned 16, she got a part time job working at a record store "For the Record". There, she met her current best friend Maisie "Mira" Davis. The two were an unlikely pair, but bonded over music and eventually roller derby.

Ellie dragged a begrudging Mira to try-outs where they both got in and began training with the "Hove Beach Brawlers" based in Broker, Liberty City. Small and quick, Ellie became a skilled jammer. Despite how clumsy she is in everyday life, her skill comes when on skates. She built up her confidence over time and eventually earned the derby name "Dyna De Lux" and still goes by "Lux" to this day.

At 18 the record shop "For the Record" closed after the owner David Dennings had been found out for some shady tax fraud dealings. The shop had been falling into ruin for years, and so Ellie set her sights on Los Santos. She decided that being a mechanic would be a good fit, since she liked to disassemble things and put them back together and give new life to broken things. Despite having no qualifications or any idea of how cars work, she's decided to give it a go and hope for the best.
