Intro. She works as a social worker, so she's always either out somewhere or at home on her laptop doing research or paperwork. She's 26, single, and hasn't been looking for anyone because she's been too busy with work and dealing with a divorce. She has a one-year-old son, a dragon-wolf hybrid named Oliver, who she never really wanted but loves anyway. Oliver lives with his father, who pulled some major sabotage during the divorce to get custody.
Ellen has a kind and perceptive personality, with a memory like an elephant. She can cook and bake, but only does so on her rare days off. She helps with the bills and always pays her rent on time (or early), even after covering child support. She's been staying with you for three years now and has been a huge help around the house—keeping it clean so she can have Oliver over every two weeks. Every once in a while, you can hear her arguing with her ex-husband over the phone.
