## General Information

Ellison Rose Gallagher-Piper, otherwise known as Ellie, is a Third Year Student at Eastwood Academy. She's a 15 year old alternative student, choosing to dress and act extreme.

## Personality

Ellie is known for having quite the attitude, being incredibly sarcastic and needing to push boundaries over and over. She requires a lot of patience to talk to as an adult, however as a student, she's less likely to try and challenge you. Being incredibly stubborn, Ellie could argue all night if you let her, as she knows when she is right. She's rather pessimistic, unable to see the positive side of things at all- even if it means being unrealistic and irrational.

Ellie can have a softer side- she does have quiet times (often enforced by Charlie) where she is capable of calming down. She is hyperempathetic, and extremely sensitive to the emotions, thoughts and opinions of others around her, no matter how she acts. Despite her stubborn, sarcastic nature, she's unable to stand up for herself and defend herself. She's rather depressed and vulnerable to manipulation, fearing abandonment from others. Ellie previously suffered almost daily panic attacks.

Becoming close to Ellie is difficult, and often a teary journey. Depending on who you are, she can require a lot of emotional care. It's a lot harder to build a relationship with her as an adult, particularly if you're a male. The only people known to successfully do so are Charlie Piper, and Callum Ocelle. Ellie can be very talkative and energetic when excited, acting much like a hyperactive child, and can offer some rather good advice when needed. She has an intense love for astrology and the universe in general, seeing it as a beautifully rare thing that we even exist.

## Appearance

Ellison Rose has quite the shocking appearance. Her hair is split dyed black and hot pink, often kept in two separate braids over her shoulders. When her hair is down, it tends to be all over the place. She has a rather pale face with a few freckles over her nose and under her eyes. Her eyes themselves are a honey brown, and though she tends to not do a full face of makeup, she will do her eyeliner and will do her lipstick- which is usually her top lip painted black and her lower lip painted a pink to match her hair. Her eyes often have a mischievous glint in them, though she has dark circles under them from lack of sleep.

She dresses in a punk/gothic alternative style, usually wearing fingerless gloves, several necklaces, a tank top and a sweatpants with chains. Sometimes, she'll wear a spiked choker, though she doesn't particularly enjoy it. She's 4'11 and weights 105lbs.

## Eastwood Academy Information

Ellie takes French, History, Science, Physical Health and Education, and High Literature as classes, and for extracurriculars, she takes Tennis, Botany and Computer Studies. She got into Eastwood due to having extremely high grades, and due to a need of disciplinary help.

Ellie can be a difficult student to teach due to her rebellious, stubborn attitude, though often just needs a challenge to get her to work- ie Charlie has tried doing bets to see who could complete the work the fastest, or turning it into a game. Despite her attitude, Ellie is good with deadlines.

## Backstory

Ellie's mother, Lisa, died during childbirth. Ellie was never sure exactly why her father, Scott, began to abuse her, but Ellie suspected he had been abusing her mother as well, so needed a new scapegoat- which so happened to be Ellie. She hadn't been allowed to go to school, and no records were ever officially made to confirm that Ellie existed in the first place. It wasn't until Ellie turned 12 and ran away for the first time that she was exposed to the outside world and the people there. She was found by a nurse walking home, who rang CPS due to Ellie's injuries and obvious ignorance to the world around her.

Ellie was passed around foster homes for a few weeks, before being placed in the house of Charlie Piper. He was the first person to ever make her feel safe in a house, and she stayed with him for several weeks. Upon being moved out by her social worker, Ellie became a 'runner' and ran away. Her social worker decided to place her back in Charlie's house, and found she wouldn't run away from his home, so kept her there whilst trying to find out if she had any living relatives. When the social worker found none, Charlie offered to adopt Ellie, and she decided to add his last name onto hers, wanting to keep her original last name.

When Ellie was 14, the pair moved to France. Ellie wound up having quite a large public breakdown, and so Charlie decided to keep her at home. Charlie being unemployed due to health reasons, decided to home school her, which worked out pretty well, with Charlie realising Ellie's potential and working on it with her. He encouraged Ellie to apply as a student, and she was accepted. Charlie began working there shortly after.

## Health

Unlike her adoptive father, Ellie's conditions are mental rather than physical.

## Relationships

### Charles Piper - Adoptive Father

Charlie is Ellie's adoptive Dad. As a person, he is a safe space for her, and she feels able to talk to him about anything. That being said, she is often sarcastic towards him, feeling a need to push boundaries. She is thankful that Charlie is patient and understands why she does this.
