↬ Let’s get personal ↫
Personality Type: The Protagonist (ENFJ-A)
Personality: Elliot is very much a textbook extrovert, she enjoys spending time around people and looks forward to family trips to busy cities. She would describe herself as energetic and exhaustingly outgoing, sometimes even she struggles to keep up with herself. She enjoys making up stories, particularly stories about her many adventures during outings to Brighton and the many funny stories that are told during family get-togethers. Imaginative and easily whisked away to another universe, you will often find Elliot with her nose stuck in a fantasy adventure of some kind. She is easily distracted but takes great pride in her school work and has a determination to do well in school. She specifically likes learning new things, particularly within the wizarding world. Having grown up mostly within the muggle world, she has a strong interest in the way things work in the wizarding world. More specifically, it’s history. She is caring, passionate and loyal to a fault. She loves playing muggle board games and could tell you a thing or two about Monopoly, though she has a distinct dislike for losing the game.

↬ The Past ↫
History: Elliott’s story begins in 2059 when young witch Cora Applegate met law student Michael Patterson. Having just returned home from her final year as a student at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, the last thing young Cora expected was to fall head over heels in love. The couple continue to tell their children that it was love at first sight. With a courtship of 6 months, the couple were quick to marry and begin a family together. The first of their children, Leila, was born in March of 2060. A troublesome but intelligent child, she came with her challenges, as does any first child. A strain was put on the marriage but the couple remained strong.

Three years later, in June 2063, along came Sara. Much like her older sister, she was always troublesome but loyal to a fault and never once overstepped her mark. Cora and Michael had the beginnings of a beautiful family.

By the time Elliott came along in November 2082, the family had settled in the pretty seaside town of Eastbourne, East Sussex. The year of 2082 had been a rollercoaster for the family and so when the third child came into the world, the family rejoiced. Elliott had made a difficult time good again.

Her first three years had been much the same as that of her sisters, with little regard for much of anything. But on her fourth birthday, it became apparent to Michael that something was different about his youngest daughter. Though too young to show any real signs of magical abilities, she had an awareness that her sisters hadn’t possessed.

It came as a shock for Michael and his eldest daughters to discover that Cora was in fact, a witch. She had explained to them that she was afraid to tell Michael what she was in case he thought lower of her. When asked why Leila and Sara didn’t possess magical abilities, she had to explain that, unfortunately, they were what is known as Squibs.

And so Elliott became the first of the Patterson line to possess the ability to perform magic. Upon this discover, Michael and his girls embarked on a journey that would open their eyes to a whole new world that they couldn’t possible have imagined.

Of course, the family secret has remained that way since the truth was revealed.

For the next five years, Elliott and her family lived happily in their family home until eventually, they decided that a move was needed. At the age of eight, Elliott experienced her first big change as the family packed up their things and moved to the quaint market town of Crowland, a big different in scenery compared to the Eastbourne home that boasted seagulls awaking them each morning.

This move proved to be rather difficult for the family, Elliott in particular. Having left all of her friends behind, she struggled to come to terms with the new way of life. She began getting into trouble with her teachers at school and would often “forget” to complete her school work. Her parents were always arguing over what to do with her. With a toddler crawling around the place too, they struggled to cope.

One year after the big move, Elliott found herself running around the local park with a group of older children when they came across a river hidden behind a line of trees. The children had decided to try to jump across the river, a game they had told Elliott was perfectly harmless. But what was to follow would change all of their minds. The first of the children jumped across without a hitch, the second with only a stumble, and the third falling in the water. Elliott was up next. She had told the older children that she didn’t think this was a good idea and that she wanted to go home. They had told her she had to stay. And so her only option was to jump. A decision that she would come to regret. She took a run up to the river and attempted to jump short. What nobody had noticed was a rather large rock hidden underneath the water. Elliott was soon to discover this as she failed to clear the river and fell leg first against the rock. A sharp pain ran through up the whole right side of her body and she was unable to move without substantial pain. The first and oldest of the group ran to Elliott’s parents to get help.

Once at the hospital, they discovered that Elliott had broken her leg and damaged her hip. While the broken leg healed perfectly fine following an operation to repair it, the damaged hip was long term. She now has a large scar on her leg where the break had occurred and walks with a slight limp.

Though Elliott refuses to let this stop her from living her life to it’s fullest. While this experience changed everything for the then eight year old, she remained as outgoing as ever.

The years between her accident and beginning her first year at Hogwarts were as normal as could possibly be. Her life has consisted of holidays to Brighton and Eastbourne and attending school regularly.
