Ellen Grey by Lawman

TEAM: Sentinels

SECTOR: Science

KIT CLASS: Gadgeteer

She was born, just like any normal human. Ellen lived and grew up in an average household in a typical American suburb. Her parents were staunch Catholics, but were nevertheless loving and caring towards her, for she was their only child. She grew up like any normal child would, studying in school, playing with the neighbourhood kids she befriended, and attending church with her parents every sunday. but the truth is, Ellen was far from... normal. Upon entering her teens, she started seeing things... things that weren't originally there, yet they seemed and felt so real. The frequent hallucinations kept up, and Ellen found her social life greatly affected, and slipped further and further away from reality. As time passed, it only grew worse, and people around her started seeing and hearing things that didn't exist too, creating confusion wherever she went. Her parents tried to do something, and therefore sought the neighbourhood priest's advice after psychiatrists and doctors failed to alleviate their daughter's condition; who simply stated that their girl Ellen is a demon child, whose soul already belonged to The Devil at the very moment of her birth - and tragedy will befall those who stay with her for too long. Ellen's mother could not believe her ears, the revelation hit her like a hammer, and was left in a depressed and apathetic state for a few weeks. Ellen's father, however, felt that he needed to do SOMETHING about this "demon", and came up with a drastic measure(I'd say he's the one who's demon-possessed); despite the mother's protests, he came up to his daughter with an axe in his hands; and told her to make two choices - either to die by his blade, or to run as far as her feet could carry her(perhaps indicating a shred of emotion still remains.) Ellen ran, under the stormy skies and with her mother's tearful pleas ringing in her ears. Too exhausted to continue running, she simply dropped to her knees under an old elm tree. Her mind ran through those traumatic moments she's lived out in recent years, and her mind ran to God, whom she knows to be the merciful and all-powerful one. Ellen believes in God, and prayed... she asked Him to take her elsewhere, to someplace where she would be accepted. The next moment was beyond her wildest imaginations - whether it be a freak coincidence, or truly an act of God - a lightning bolt struck the tree, ripping it apart with a tremendous explosion. Ellen wasn't harmed by this explosion; instead it threw her into a gash in the fabric of reality. It took her to... Khazan. Landing in a section of Khazan City with a bad reputation, she found herself attacked by a gang of delinquent youths. However, the illusions that have plagued her all these years came again, this time to save her. Unknown to herself, she actually possesses metahuman abilities. Her attackers fled, pursued by an imaginary grizzly bear. Her abilities caught the interest of two smalltime crooks named Ricky and Pretzel, who saw her innate abilities as a quick ticket to money. With some nice words, and treating her to a meal, they convinced her to live with them, and taught her how to use those abilities of hers. Soon, she was helping(sometimes wooed with sweet words, sometimes intimidated, she knows what she's doing is wrong, but feels that she owes them too much to disobey their wishes) Ricky and Pretzel in their daily pickpocketing sprees, and they were "kind" enough to share their booty with Ellen. As she grows accustomed to her powers, the crooks got bolder - and one day, they decided to rob a multiversal bank. The plan was simple; Ellen confuses everyone with her illusions, and they simply rush in and help themselves to the money. This was when the girl came to her sense; all these months, she was actually a criminal accomplice! She decided to back out, much to their ire. They wouldn've simply beaten her to death, until the SLJer Uberman showed up just in time, and kicked Ricky and Pretzel's asses. Ellen helped by bearing witness and confessing to the crimes she commited while she was with them. As she was clearly misguided and used by the bad eggs, no charges were pressed against her while the two were thrown behind bars. The truth is that Ellen always has a strong sense of justice, and will stand for what is right. Seeing her hidden potential, Ellen was offered a chance to join the SLJ. She gladly accepted, and under the SLJers, she was taught and trained in the ways of righteousness and how to master the use of her powers. She's currently a part-timer, studying as a high school student, and rushing to help the SLJ (mostly in office and adminstrative work, occasionally as a scout/spy) whenever she's free. Though lacking in experience, she's learning as fast as she could, and simply loves the SLJ and their friendly(mostly) members, whom she sees as a second family, one that takes the place of the family she's lost...

Personality: When the SLJ first found her, Ellen was effectively a 14-year old in the body of an 18-year old. Four years of being plagued by her own illusions and being used by two thieves has greatly stunted her social life and mental development. Under the SLJ, however, she's gradually brightening up, and rapidly catching up on her mental and emotional development, and has shown that she's born as the smart type. Friendly and receptive, she's always there to congratulate and affirm her fellow SLJers for a job well-done after a hard day of crimefighting with a tray of milk and cookies and heaping on the praises. Hates violence and fighting, but she can nevertheless be counted upon to fight bravely for all that is good, should the need arise.
