Ella Graves

**Ella Graves** was a participant in Weighted Mortality: Uncertain Death.

## Appearance

Ella is a short and skinny woman with light skin and dyed blue hair. She has light brown eyes and wears her hair in a high pony with a clip on the left side. She wears what is likely her job's uniform, featuring a vest over a button-down. She wears a little bit of makeup.

## Personality

Hiding behind a loving and joyful personality, Ella schemes and lies to get what she wants. Due to her line of work, she knows how people function, and how to push their buttons. By placing herself in a seemingly peaceful, almost angelic light, she takes advantage of others, and ruthlessly disposes them as needed. Only a small handful of people have truly gained her trust, most of which ended in betrayal from both sides.

## Backstory

Ella grew up in a small village in the middle of Russia. Due to the shear cold that she grew up in, she had to learn how to fend for herself and survive. Her father, who's name is long forgotten by her, died when she was only a few years old, and her mother wasn't able to take care of her due to sickness that has now taken her life. When she turned 18, she moved to Moscow, and began to work in a casino, lying about her age to get a stable job.

A few months after she began to work in the Casino, a group of criminals came in and robbed them, but left behind a gun, which was dropped behind the bar where she was stationed at the time. Because of the robbery, her boss fired most of the people on the floor that night, blaming them for the incident. Enraged that she lost her job for something out of her control, she took the gun and shot her boss, along with 2 of the Casino's patrons that had been bothering her.

Low on money and now on the run, she began to investigate the the group that ruined her life. Eventually she discovered their hideout, and threatened to shoot their boss. When she pulled the trigger, the gun jammed, and she was knocked out by the gang. After waking up, the boss, who know introduced herself as Katrina, offered her a compromise. If Ella joined the gang, and acted as a inside assistant for them in different situations, they would wipe away her crimes and make her a ghost.

Accepting the offer, she joined the gang, gaining the nickname of "The Dealer" from her time working in the Casino. Then, the crime wave began. Going city to city, she applied at banks, casinos, museums, and anywhere else that could turn a profit. With each new places, came a new name. Ezra Korchetov in St. Petersburg, Sarah Valince in Torino, and Stockholm, Maxi Tosin in Berlin, and and finally, back to her original name in Paris

In paris, came their largest heist, the end all be all. If they could pull this off, they would all be able to retire and disappear off the face of the earth. Pulling her normal role of recon, and now leader, she led the charge through to the vault. Blowing into it and securing the money, they were trapped, fighting for their lives in the vault while the police slowly closed in on them. Fearing that she would get caught, she looked for a way to get out, with, or without the rest of the crew. Realizing she could escape through the vent, she shot the rest of her crew, hoping to buy herself more time with the police, and prevent her betrayal from being returned by being ratted out.

Escaping through the canals of paris, her boat loaded with money, she fled, eventually making her way to the open sea, finally free. Despite her attempts to keep her identity hidden, international officials had begun to piece together her false identities. Hoping to avoid getting caught, she stashed the money in her home village; faking her death to get the police off her trail. Standing at the cliffs edge, false body in place, she leaps, vanishing mid-leap.
