Name: Ella (Cinderella) Door: Submissive (because she was previously a submissive in the game). Canon: Cinderella (2015 live-action movie). Canon Point: End of the movie (when Kit finds her, before they get married). Age: 22 Appearance: Photo History: <https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/cinderella_(2015_film)>Here! CR AU (Optional): CR AU for her in-game memories of being in Duplicity the first time. When I think of how Ella changed throughout the game, I think it is equally important that her strongest positive and negative traits didn't change. Her strength as a character is in her being kind and showing perseverance in difficult circumstances. She comes in remembering that she had genuine friendships in Duplicity - real, human (and sometimes not human, but that hardly matters to her) interactions with people who she grew to trust and care for. In her canon, she admitted to not having friends beyond the animals at her family's estate. Some of her most important friendships were Leonard, Kim, and Barry. They made her feel safe in difficult situations. Additionally, her concept of love has grown. While she's a big believer in true, forever love, she's seen it can exist with more than one person. If your heart is open to it, you can have several loves (sometimes all at once, and if you're happy - why not?). Ella has also learned about more modern worlds. She views Duplicity as a place where she can meet people she never would have known in her world. The experiences she has here are challenging, but she refuses to change her outlook on life because of the negative things that have happened. She is aware of some of the darker elements of the city. It's simply important to her to focus on what she has, instead of dwelling in the darkness. Personality: P - Kind-hearted: Ella’s mother tells her “have courage and be kind”. It’s a guiding principle of her life - she always seeks to show kindness to others, believing that kindness brings more goodness into the world. We see this even in moments where Ella herself might be suffering - for example, when a man brings her news of her father’s passing. Ella is heartbroken, but thanks the man and acknowledges that having to tell her must have been very difficult for him. She is also kind to the beggar who comes to ask her for a drink, offering her milk even though she’s heartbroken to have had her mother’s dress destroyed. Even in her darkest moments, Ella sees beyond her pain and is kind to others. N - Responsible: Being responsible impacts Ella in a negative way because she takes on too many responsibilities for one person. She takes care of her family's home, does the cleaning, the cooking, the sewing, keeps up with repairs on the house in any way that she can, takes care of the animals, etc. Her stepmother and stepsisters would have had to resort to different measures to keep a nice home if they hadn't had her to rely on. In Duplicity, her being responsible worked in favor of the overall game setting. However, her feeling responsible for whether or not her Dom was determined to be a good dom (or a bad dom) definitely impacted her actions and was more limiting to her as a person. N - Sentimental: Ella being sentimental is a negative trait because it negatively impacts her life. She’s especially attached to her family home after her parents pass - she says that they loved it and were happy there. This is the reason why she stays with her stepmother and stepsisters even when there’s nothing else keeping her there. If Ella could’ve let go of her family’s home, she would have been free of their abuse much sooner. In the game, she is sentimental in the sense of preferring certain places that have meaning to her - she stayed in submissive housing for most of her time in the game last time, even though she would have been more comfortable elsewhere. N - Selfless: When her stepmother finds out that Kit is in love with Ella, she tries to make a deal with Ella, agreeing to let her marry the prince as long as she can guide him in ruling the kingdom. Ella immediately turns her down, swearing to protect the prince and the kingdom. As a result, Ella is locked away in the attic by her stepmother. There are other instances of her selflessness, including her giving what little food she has to the animals who’ve befriended her and serving her stepmother and stepsisters. Ella always thinks of others, but that often means she has to get by with less for herself. Powers and Abilities: Ella is a human woman without any enhanced abilities. Inventory: The clothes she's currently wearing, glass slippers, a small piece of a tree branch. Samples: Here! |
