Elettra "Ellie" Vega
Gender;
Female
Personality;
Elettra, otherwise known as Ellie, is a gentle, soft-spoken, yet anxious kalon. Timid & socially uncomfortable, Ellie prefers to be shut up in her house with netflix, warm beverages and her books. She has a hard time saying no to others, especially her best friend, Usha, and if often dragged into crazy ideas. Loyal to a fault, Ellie won't hesitate to stand by her friends and family, even if she thinks they may be wrong. She is also stable and practical, valuing her security, traditions and superstitions. Ellie has a well-developed sense of space and function and is good at organizing/planning/finishing tasks. Ellie does not really like to be spontaneous, as she does not appreciate strangeness due to being afraid of many things. Despite being terrified almost 24/7, she does (half) enjoy the random things Usha makes her do (often against her will) in order to help her broaden her horizons.

Short Story;
“Come on Ellie! It’ll be fun!”
That’s what my best friend says every time we’re about to do something stupid. Tonight was one of those nights.
I gulped as I stared down the edge of the cliff, the sapphire blue waters lapping below. Shaking, I cautiously took a few steps forward. “I-I don’t think I can do this…” I complain, praying they’ll let me out of this.
“No way Ellie! It’s not as high as it looks, I promise!” Usha says, trying to re-assure me, but I seriously doubt her. I wipe the sweat off my forehead and stare once more at the water below.
“I can do this, this is fun. I’m broadening my horizons.” I murmur in an attempt to reassure myself. “Here goes nothing…” I take a deep breath, and jump.
The rush of the air around me is thrilling, much to my surprise. A loud splash and the cool sensation that follows, chills me to the core. I’m in the water, I did it. Swimming to shore, I hear the whoops and yells of Kwasi echoing in the canyon.
“You did it Ellie! I can’t believe you actually did it!” He grins, as he hands me a towel. Shivering, I wrap myself in it and grin back at him with a small shrug. “Thanks to you though, I owe Usha $20. I really didn’t think she’d get you to jump to be honest.” Kwasi grumbled to himself.
Another splash echoed in the canyon, and before long we hear the whoops of Usha as she swims to shore. “That was fun! Who wants to go again?” She asked eagerly, still feeling the rush from the first jump.
Feeling a bit bolder, I calmly replied to Usha, “Let’s go again.”
