Ella Owen

Ella Owen is the leader of a group, consisting of Michio, Damian, Matt and Camille. Her best friend is Liz, and later on Eve, who like her, is born with a connection to the Simul. Liz provides alibis and money, and the "missions" the group does.

Her body is sometimes possessed by Akana, a Curioni/demon hybrid who wants to take over this world.

Life
Ella was born an heiress to the Owen banking corporation. Her mother, a very weak and kind woman, died young, leaving her with her mentally abusive father. Because Matt was adopted, and not the heir to the corporation, only Ella got the brunt of his abusive attacks. Nothing she ever did was good enough to him, causing her personality to warp considerably, increasingly becoming more of a perfectionist and numbing her to the world.

After she somewhat accidentally killed her father by pushing him off the stairs she only became more unstable, though on the outside she became a bubbly and bright person after her father's death. James Wright had now become their legal guardian, and though he was a good man, he didn't see that Ella was now being bullied by his spoiled daughter Isabelle. During this time Ella saved Camille from certain death, both when she was about to be killed by her ex-boyfriend and gang leader Shaw, and when she was about to commit suicide.

At her fathers funeral she comes to terms with what she has done, and decides that to live she will do whatever she has to do, including killing her enemies. Akana, who sits on a treetop close by is intrigued by her, and decides to possess her body occasionally, using Ella as her pawn.

After this Ella ran away from James' household, and started living with Liz for a little while. Liz is the one that made her decide to create a group (a gang) to do work for her (or as Ella called their purpose: making the world a better place). Camille was all too happy to join for this purpose, and Matt, being the younger brother, was pulled into the group as well.

Damian joined not much later, having been told by Akana to join. Michio joined because he didn't have much more to do, and because he was interested in the entity that seemed to be possessing Ella at certain times (that being Akana).

Through the mission to find Aey, Ella become increasingly more unstable and warped, alienating Matt and Camille, who leave the group.

Akana later on makes Ella an ever greater pawn, by making her into a Shade.

Personality
Ella is strict to herself and others, and a bit of a downer. She can come across as cold and dominating, but inside she's just a lost grieving girl. She tries to hide this with all her might, but it sometimes comes out, especially when she's no longer leader of the gang. Liz is the only one that previously knew of Ella's deeds and feelings, but after she joins up with Akana and meets Eve she finally drops the tough act moving more to the introverted side.

Motivations
Ella starts out with pure intentions. After accidentally killing her father she deals with a lot of self hate and doubt, and after saving Camille she decides to make a group of people that fight to make the world a better place. She does some things for Liz which start out innocently enough, but as time progresses she becomes a lot more uncaring about 'missions' Liz gives them. She's lost her childhood innocence early on, and it shows in her personality and motivations. Liz and Akana use her to get to Dan and the necklace he has, and she needs money so she lets herself be used, both out of obligation to her friendship and because she has lost sight of her initial goal. Eventually her motivations move towards helping Akana and Evoll manage their plans, becoming a good vessel for the Odio. After something happens (idk what yet), she lets Akana turn her into a Shade, becoming more powerful, but losing her chance with Michio. This power she much later uses to go against Akana and Evoll, becoming a vessel for the Amare instead. This redeems her and brings her back to her original goal of fighting the strong and protecting the weak.

Appearances
Ella appears in all mayor stories, and is one of the main characters. She always has something to do with the plot of the story, possibly because of her nosiness, or maybe because of Akana. Most likely because of her connection to the Simul.

Name and meaning
Ella's full name is Eleanor Abigail Owen. Ella and Eleanor mean 'sympathy' and 'compassion', something Ella started with in spades, but lost in the progress of time. Abigail means 'my father's delight', which she never earned with her real father. Therefore her name is a painful reminder of what she's lacking.
