--- EMPATHETIC. Ella is a highly caring person. Even when she hasn’t exactly dealt with the same sort of thing, she is very understanding of a person and what they may be going through. She prides herself on always being there when her friends need her, even if they don’t realise they need her. The young woman is often thought of as like a mother figure, swinging between a soft comforting attitude when the person needs some TLC, and a firm, no fuss, take charge attitude when she feels the person needs to spring into action.

--- CYNICAL. While mostly about herself, Ella can be a very cynical person. When it comes to others she is always telling them to be positive and think of the best, but when it comes back to her she can be rather negative. Thinking the worst in herself, and always assuming the worst will happen. She can often work herself up into such a state, fretting about things that haven’t and may not even happen, all because she doesn’t think good will happen to her. This cynical side to Ella has a lot to do with her internal lack of self confidence. Even if to others she does appear rather confident.

--- TENACIOUS. Ella is a spicy Porte Rican woman, and when I say that I mean you don’t want to bite her because she has a bite of her own. She is strong, and has the stubbornness of a donkey. When she’s dead against something you’ll know it, and you probably shouldn’t try and change her mind unless you feel like a fight. When she is against something, she generally has good reason to be. Ella doesn’t just get lame ideas in her head. For instance if a friend decided they want to climb a building, you can be sure if Ella found out she’d actually forbid them to do it. Again with the mother vibe..

Being the eldest of six, Ella grew up in a very different family. The Torres family were not exactly wealthy, so Ella learnt early on in life that there were more important things than money. For instance, birthdays usually were about homemade gifts and doing something fun as a family, and not large presents. Her parents are warm, nurturing people, who, while Ella was growing up, did everything they could to provide for their children. Ella can’t say they ever went without basic needs, or love. Hugs were common in the Torres house hold.

That isn’t to say it was always a serene place to be. It was often hectic, especially since the second youngest of Ella’s siblings are actually twins. The older Ella got, and the more siblings she had, the more found herself helping out her mother. She was often the mediator in younger siblings arguments, or the baby sitter while her parents were at work. With her father working two jobs and her mother working full time, it meant there was a lot more Ella and her siblings had to do to help out. Of course like any teenager there were times Ella hated it, but on the whole she understood how hard it was for her parents to juggle six children and work.

With her mother a social worker, Ella developed an interest in helping people. She’d often help her mother out at the youth centre she ran. However, unlike her mother, Ella started to developed a deeper interest in human behaviour. She took phyc in high-school, and found it fascinating. With that, came the decision she wanted to study some sort of psychology at University. However having a love for theatre too, Ella chose a school that had strong drama and arts electives.

BITCH I AINT NO CHO CHANG.
