Early Life
Ellea had a happy childhood in District Five, with two parents who loved her and who were just rich enough that Ellea never experienced poverty. Ellea also had a close bond to her grandmother, who passed away when she was eight years old, and who inspired Ellea to be sweet and kind. However, when Ellea began to enter adolescence she became extremely self-absorbed, forgetting her promise to emulate her grandmother's kindness, and the attention of people outside of her own family became more important to her.
62nd Hunger Games
Reaping and Training
Ellea and Riker Mills were Reaped together in District Five. Ellea accepted her spot in silence, not betraying anything about how she felt.
In the Training Centre, Ellea encountered District Seven male Curtis Grant, after becoming the victim of a particularly vicious first aid trainer. Curtis nicknames her "Legs" and helped her bandage up the wound. Ellea decided that she liked Curtis and asked him about his home life, trying to make casual conversation. Although Curtis was suspicious that Ellea's kindness was just a ruse, the two tributes got on well and decided to ally. Over their time in the Training Centre, Curtis and Ellea were particularly drawn to the District Eight Siblings Aria and Bran Wolfe. The four formed an alliance together, called The White Walkers.
Ellea was awarded a 5 for her Private Training Session.
Bloodbath
Ellea entered the Bloodbath and immediately found her allies, determined to stick close by them. Stars of Orion began to target Curtis, while Ellea and her allies attacked Stars of Orion member Demeter Merwin-Glory. After severing Curtis' ear, the rival alliance decided they had collected everything they needed and fled. Before The White Walkers had a chance to get their breath back, Riker Mills and his allies approached them, looking for more of a fight. Curtis couldn't take any more pain and fled, urging his allies to do the same, but the other three turned on the new alliance, attacking Alaska Putley. Ellea became the target now Curtis had fled, with the new tributes beating her with weapons or their bare fists. At this point, Ellea began to scream in fear, and turned to flee, leaving Aria and Bran still fighting.
Day 1
Ellea took a chance to catch her breath after the Bloodbath, and to wash her crowbar in the river. Luckily for her, no one encountered her to attack, and she as able to rest undisturbed before going to find her allies.
When Ellea finally found the others again, Aria was under attack from Damion Winters and his allies. Ellea tried to distract them by lashing out at Lydie Mansonna, Damion's ally, and was soon joined by Ailis Copper. The two of them may not have been able to save Aria alone, and both were surprised when the whole group was ambushed by Kiera Dempsey and her allies. Lydie's death caused the rest of her allies to flee, but Ellea knew that if she overstayed her welcome then Kiera's alliance would target her, so she fled as well.
After Lydie's death, Ellea followed Aria for a while, until she encountered the Career Peridot Myler, who gave Aria a new weapon. Ellea saw that Vitani Loewen, the District Nine female, had just been killed, and so took another chance to catch her breath, hoping that Peridot and the other tributes had had their fill of death for now. Aria left with Peridot, and Ellea went a separate direction, hoping that she could finally find a safe place to sleep for the night.
The last tribute that Ellea encountered on the day was Almar Nichols, and she greeted him by stabbing him in the stomach. Hearing the sounds of a new fight, Kiera Dempsey came looking for another kill and, after some struglle between Almar and Ellea and Kiera, the latter managed to kill the boy.
Day 2 and Death
Before sleeping on Day 1, Ellea found her allies, who had picked up Alaska Putley as a new member now that Aria had left with the Careers. Although Bran and Curtis - and Alaska - had stuck together the previous day, Ellea had gone wandering and fighting by herself, and her allies seemed to resent that. Although two Harpies had descended to attack the four tributes, only Ellea fought them - the rest of her so-called "allies" instead turned their blades on her. Ellea found it impossible to defend herself from the muttations and from the other tributes, and Curtis managed to land the final blow on her, cutting her leg over the top of an earlier-acquired wound and sending Ellea falling to the ground. With some apology, the three remaining White Walkers left Ellea to die.
