overall personality:
Ellie is known to be somewhat calm and collective; she is rather easy to get along with and trustworthy. Ellie is a free spirit, wanting to live the life that she wishes to live, which results in her being such a brave little soul. She is also quite loyal, to those that she calls friends and family, but if you get on her bad side and break the trust that she held for you, she won’t think twice to turn her back on you; this is what makes her so well-grounded. Ellie is a hopeless romantic and easily the most loving person. Some could say that she is slightly naïve and easy to manipulate, and maybe that is true, but she is very resourceful. Ellie is also quite witty, much like her house persona. She can also be seen as quite distant, something that stops people from getting through her walls because she is so cautious around new people.
Because of her kind heart, she fears getting it broken, and sometimes that displays itself in the way she acts. She can also be quite childish, and even has the temper to match. Ellie is also very quiet, sometimes people tell her that they can’t even hear her, but she likes to think before she acts, and thus her quiet nature arises. She is shown to be a caring and sympathetic friend, someone that people trust telling her everything that has happened, and sometimes because of it, she wants revenge on those that have hurt her family, leading to show a small streak of rebellious nature. She is also seen as a very lively, upbeat, and extremely positive even in the darkest of times.

history:
Born to Julie and Robert Nottingham, the younger sister of Finn, Ellie’s life was pretty average, since she was raised in a small town in the state of New York. Being born to no-maj parents, it meant that Ellie and Finn would be the same, and with the two only being eight years apart, it meant that Ellie would learn everything about the magical community from Finn. For the first four years of Ellie’s life, she was used to having her older sister around to play with her, to make her laugh and to even make her do things that brought the heat off each other them. But by the time she was three, not like she remembered it, her sister went away to Ilvermorny, a magical school for witches and wizards in the United States. For a while, Ellie didn’t understand why she was left at home with a babysitter all the time, alone to play with her toys, to do her homework when she started school. Her sister was always away, but when they went to get her during the summer, Ellie was always glad to see her.
For the next few years, from the age of four until the age of eleven, Ellie lived a normal life at home. She went to normal school, with non-magic friends, but she learned all about her sister’s adventures at Ilvermorny whenever she came home from school each summer. She was excited that her sister was learning new things and upon learning that eventually she too would enjoy the experience, she grew excited as well. So, time went on, she waited and waited, hoping that she too would be like her sister and have the ability to go to the magical school. She wanted to be just like her sister, even from a young age, she looked up to the other girl. And finally, when her eleventh birthday rolled around, and summer hit, she received her letter of acceptance to the same school that Finn attended each year. She was excited, and it seemed Finn was too, even though they wouldn’t be at school together, it just meant that they’d get to share the same experiences.
It was that school year that they both headed to school, and it was here that Ellie was sorted into the Horned Serpent house, while it wasn’t the same house as her sister, it didn’t mean anything for the two of them. For the entire year, Ellie made friends and even got to hang out with her sister when she could, learning the ropes and everything. It was a fantastic experience for Ellie, and she hoped that it was the same for her sister. And then the time came where Ellie’s first year was done, and her sister graduated from the school in a whole. She was happy for her sister, but that didn’t stop a twinge of sadness. Not only would that mean that Finn would probably move out to explore her own life, but that meant that Ellie was all alone within Ilvermorny. But slowly that wore off as she made more friends and experienced new things.
It was during her fifth year that things seemed to take a change for the worse, Ilvermorny heard about all the things that were happening at the school in Europe, a school called Hogwarts, and hope there were killings and kidnappings. It was around this time that they decided to host something called The Triwizard Tournament, and she heard from a ton of students that their parents were worried, and when she learned that this caused Finn to quit her job and move to London herself, she grew even more terrified. What if Finn was next? She wrote the girl so many letters, asking her about London and if she was safe, and she slowly began to realize that her sister could take care of herself, and she seemed to calm down.
As her fifth year came to a close and summer started, tragedy struck Ilvermorny, the school was destroyed, and there was nothing left. Left with nowhere to go to learn their magic, the students were given the option to attend Hogwarts. At first, Ellie’s parents didn’t want to send her there, but Ellie begged. Not only were a ton of her friends going, but she wanted to graduate like her big sister and attempt the big world. But not only did she want to graduate, but she also wanted to be closer to Finn. Her parents got in contact with their eldest daughter, asking if it was possible for Ellie to live with Finn for the next two years to graduate from Hogwarts before returning home, and the older girl agreed. And with that, Mr. and Mrs. Nottingham sent their youngest daughter to London a little early, hoping to allow her the summer to settle into a new surrounding and obtain anything she needed for the next school year, including a wand when allowed because of the wand room being destroyed. They made her promise to write each week, to settle their worried minds, and she agreed.
And with that, Ellie was on her way to London, to live with her sister and attend a British wizarding school with some of her other friends. Was she worried? Yeah. Was she excited? Of course. She's ready for the new adventure, the new chapter of her life, whatever it may bring.
site events reaction:
While many of the events that have happened over in London and surrounding Hogwarts have not affected her directly. The attack on Ilvermorny had, leaving her without a school and no way to finish her education - until Hogwarts offered that. Because of everything happening, including the recent attack that killed many from Durmstrang and Beaubaxton, Ellie almost wasn't allowed to finish school. Luckily her sister saved the day and she was able to attend, while living with her in London. But being someone deemed a "muggleborn" in english terms, she's at risk for any attack from the blood purists.
