Elliotta Borgin
NAME: Elliotta Borgin (born as Ellie Dunder)
AGE: 14 (Jan 11th 1869)
SOCIAL CLASS: Upper Class
STATUS: single but having a big little girl crush on Rasin Stensrud
PLAY-BY: Ginny Gardner
BlOOD STATUS: Half-Blood
EYES: blue
HAIR: blonde
SKINTONE: white
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 4'10"
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: A long white scar on her left shoulder
OVERALL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Elliotta is a tiny girl. She is pale and her blonde hair adds to her unobtrusive appearance. Her big blue eyes have a look of innocence and constant astonishment to them. Her lips are just as pale as the rest of her face and she'd love to be allowed to make them a brilliant red and make them pretty. She is small and skinny and looks a little lost in some of her gowns. Even though she's already 14 she still struggles with a graceful walk and stance. Instead her demeanor comes across a bit clumsy which she often gets scolded for.
NON-MAGICAL SKILLS: Seeing Ellie's pale appearance it's not very astounding that she can make herself invisible, or as far as that works without magic. She can find hiding places very quickly and keep still and well concealed that it's very hard to discover her. This often helps her when she's scared and just wants to disappear.
MAGICAL SKILLS: Elliotta literally is a star gazer. She's a dreamer most of the times and has her head in the stars which she finds vastly interesting. She quickly caught up with the logic of the constellations of planets and stars and can calculate their movements very well (as it's a class at Hogwarts I counted it as a magical skill even though I don't see where the magic is here).
BEST/WORST CLASSES: Astronomy / Potions
WEAKNESSES: Elliotta is an average student, maybe even below the average. She struggles with her classes as she has a short attention span when it comes to lessons. She also is very clumsy and falls often or gets her clothes dirty. Even at 14 she's still very dependent on others and requires help with lots of things where she would otherwise be required to take responsibility for her own life.
STRENGTHS: If the right buttons are pushed she can stand up for others, speaking her mind for once, to increase the justice in the world as that is her weak spot. She can't see someone being treated unfairly without trying to do something. Her ideas of right and wrong are not quite confirmed with her though and her decisions can come as surprises therefore.
QUIRKS & HABITS: If put under a lot of pressure Ellie can be found hyperventilating eventually and she needs a long time for calming down again as she's a timid little girl and easily frightened (even through her erased memory some feelings seem to have remained in her subconsciousness)
OVERALL PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION: Ellie could be best described as a shy little deer. She shies away from everything difficult or even remotely frightening and flees the scene if she can. Even well meant advice or cautioning or comments in general can be taken as threats from her without meaning to. When left alone she is a dreamer and likes to build cloud castles in her head for hours on end. In interaction with others she can be sweet and kind and silent and would never think bad of anyone willingly. Only when put in the company of someone she knows well and trusts she can start chattering as if she saved all her words for this sole moment. Ellie is very dependent on ideals and she needs people around her to show her the way, for her to admire and aim to become like them. It is why she adores Harold and Rasin and nothing could mark the perfect images she has of them.

CHARACTER HISTORY: Elliotta had been born to Marjorie Borgin and Robert Dunder as a bastard child with Marjorie only 18 and Robert 21 years old. It had been an act or defiance of the pureblood witch when she had not returned straight home from an outing but had escaped her chaperone and had taken a tour through Muggle London as she had never been allowed to. The sudden freedom however soon turned out not to be as safe as she'd thought it would and she was seeing all the creatures of the night in the corner of her eye and ran through the streets, winded with her hair all in disray. Panicked she threw herself at the first person's feet she deemed only a bit trustworthy. This person happened to be the Muggle Robert Dunder and he took pity on the girl, taking her to the little shack at the outskirts of town where he lived. He took good care of the girl, giving her the rest of his bread and letting her sleep in his bed. In the morning he walked all through town with Marjorie until she knew again where she was and he could see her home, only so far of course until there was the chance the two could be seen.
After that whenever Marjorie saw the chance, she fled to Robert again and fell in love with him eventually. Only a few weeks into their secret relationshiop they lay together.
Her family was scandalized to say the least when they discovered her pregnancy, including her, as she hadn't known what was happening to her (Her mother hadn't explained anything to her as she hadn't been engaged yet.) The family kept her hidden in their summer house when her pregnancy couldn't be concealed anymore. Of course there was no way she could see Robert then and she was suffering from a broken heart the longer she was away from him. Being of a petite statue to begin with it was far from beneficial when she ate less and less due to the loneliness and lovesickness. The winter came and the maids could barely cover her with enough blankets to keep her from shaking uncontrolably due to the cold. She was very weak when she went into labour and the healers called did everything in their power but could only save the child. The young mother died without ever having heard her child's scream.
The maids were unsure about what to do with the child as the family had refused to siee their defiant child even in her horrible condition. Still they knew that if they gave the baby to the family, it would suffer its whole life for being a bastard child of a defiant daughter, killing its mother and not even being a pureblood. So they decided to track down the father in hopes that he could at least raise the girl with love, even though without money. The family they told that both Marjorie and the child hadn't made it.
Three years later Robert had a visitor. The man was by now living with a wife and two more children, but when the visitor knocked on the door he was home alone with little Ellie as he had taken to calling her. His wife would later find the hut empty, her husband dead and Ellie gone.
The visitor, Ellie's grandfather had taken the girl away to raise her amon her people (witches and wizards) with his wife. Elliotta, as Harold had christened her, had no memory whatsoever of her father, but had taken on her grandparents as her parents. She grew up under a strict reign and learned proper behaviour quickly. She didn't lack anything, but what she had lacked in nutirtion in her early years could not be done away again and she remained small and skinny, her bones fragile.
Her memory is blurry of that day when she had cut her finger on a piece of paper and had gone in search of her grandpa to make it better. A servant had told her he'd gone to the cellar and she was running quicker than the servant could notice the mistake he'd made. When she luckily heard his voice, she followed it and entered one of the many rooms in the cellar. She could only rmember a blinding light before her memory went blank. From that day on she had a long white scar on her shoulder that burned like fire when her grandpa accidentally touched it. But he didn't need to come as close as that. Ellie could sense his presence now, without seeing or hearing him, even though her grandma said she was imagining things like always. She had been 6 years old then.
Exactly a year later she showed her first signs of magic when it happened that her grandpa scolded her and grabbed her scarred shoulder to make her stand still. She had blasted him to the other side of the room to make him let go of her and stop the pain.
At Hogwarts she was just a nobody. Sometimes she was laughed at by the other girls for failing her classes and for being clums, but otherwise she was invisible. This didn't bother her until she started to notice people around her more instead of just the stars above her head. Rasin Stensrud was the object of her admiration. After having been looked down upon by his sister she was surprised to see him act so kindly to others whenever she watched him. He was always so responsible, seeing to it that others didn't violate the rules and helping whenever he could. He was her image of perfection and even when she wasn't hungry she just sat in the Great Hall, watching him.
