Fun fact:

•she has triggers that causes her to turn into a wolf. For example: when she gets to hyper, getting too angry, getting hurt, experiencing an adrenaline rush, protecting something/someone, and fire.

•sometimes, depending on how mad she is or her state of mind, her eyes turn into the one that belongs to her wolf form.

•sometimes she acts like a puppy due to her werewolf genes. She growls when grumpy, spring up when excited, and sometimes sticks her tongue out a little when she's thinking.

•she only leaves the den at nighttime with the other boxtrolls, despite her being able to leave whenever she likes.

•most of her scars are caused by an event that left her traumatize.

•her hair actually represents the fur colors of her wolf form.

•she was born only a few days before her mother's death, so she never had a chance to get any memories of her.

(Okay, so in the story, Van helsing was bitten by a werewolf before meeting Anna. Therefore, causing Ellie to get her wolf genes from him. Unfortunately, Anna died not long after her birth due to her curing him after he killed dracula. Hopefully that helps.)

•Ellie hates wearing dresses so much that she has to be forced to wear them. Despite this, she only wears the dress for an hour before going back to being her tomboyish self.

•she secretly has a crush on eggs, but keeps it hidden because she's scared he might not feel the same and that she'd make things weird between them.

•fish is the only one who knows what happened to her because he's like a another father to her.

•she often has to make sure Sparky doesn't accidentally electrocute himself to death.

•can shapeshift into a wolf willingly, even during a full moon.

•she calls Eggs "Eggsie" just to tease him.

•during most of her adolescents, Carl watched over her while her dad was away, teaching her how to build.

•Ellie keeps her identity a secret due to the fact that the boxtrolls are considered "monsters" and she's the daughter of the most infamous monster hunters there is.

•has a slight traslavanian accent and sometimes curses in her native language so no one understands what she's saying.

Backstory:
After suffering a traumatic event, Ellie runs away from home and travels to cheesebridge and is taken in by the boxtrolls as she tries to whip her slate clean. But things don't go according to plan as Snatcher and the other redhats threaten her new family. So with the help of Eggs: the boxboy, and Winnie: a weird rich girl, the three set out to stop them and learn that you can't judge a book by it's cover.
