Physical Description
Ella has been told all her life that she has her father's eyes--a deep, oceanic blue with a ring of subtle green around the pupils--but that she really is the spitting image of her mother. Naturally fair, she tans easily in the Edani sun, and her chestnut brown hair gains streaks of red when exposed to the sunlight for any lengthy period of time.
She's of a pretty average height and build: not really tall or short, neither slender nor bulky, with subtle curves and comparatively long legs. Her features lean toward "thin", but don't cross quite all the way into "sharp".
Personality
Ella is a bit snobbish, a bit spoiled, but under it all she really does mean well. She grew up watching her uncle's passion for serving Edanith in whatever way he could, and though her own training was never quite so severe, she truly did want to emulate him in just about everything he did.
She firmly believes in a mage's duty to the people, but she doesn't exactly shy away from the near reverence that most of the populace bestows on people with her gifts either.
Magic/Abilities
Ella's abilities are very niche, but very powerful. She is a blood mage, which essentially means that she can connect to, control, and manipulate the blood--her own or others.
She mostly uses this as a sort of augmentation of the more "traditional" magic she can do, allowing her to cast spells that she would never have been able to perform with just her raw ability.
But, if pressed, she can literally control the blood in another's body; she could control multiple people, with a little effort, though of course she's never actually tried to do anything of the kind. She doesn't even know it's something she's capable of.
Relationships
Layla Strausbury nee Whitewood: mother, deceased
Victor Strausbury: Father, MIA
Lee Whitewood: maternal uncle, living
History
Ella's mother agreed to undergo some sort of "testing" by a scientist that her uncle knew as Dr. McCallan when she was pregnant...which probably gave Ella her "blood affinity", which is a kind of magic that was thought to have almost entirely died out.
It is also very possible that the experiments are what caused her mother to die in childbirth, but no one really talks about that.
Aside from the chaotic first few days of her life, when Lee was scrambling to find people to help him care for her and get them both set up in a nice place to live, her childhood was rather typical.
She entered official military training at sixteen, though she has yet to see active duty. She mostly works with her uncle around the city, if she works at all.
