Name: Ella
Age: 19
Category: Little (kept hidden all her life).
Appearance: Very small and delicate in build. She has light brown hair that often falls in soft waves around her face, and striking green eyes that tend to give away her emotions even when she tries to hide them. Her natural style leans toward a soft aesthetic—pastels, cozy sweaters, skirts, and little touches of sweetness she's always tried to suppress.
Background: Raised in a strict household where Littles were seen as weak and shameful, Ella learned to hide her nature from everyone. She's been secretly drawn to things that comfort her—plushies, doodles, soft fabrics—but she never allowed herself to embrace them openly.
Current State (start of the book): After years of repression and loneliness, Ella finally runs away from home, terrified but desperate for freedom. She has no idea what she's searching for until her soulmate's marks appear.
Personality: Gentle and shy, with a quiet resilience. Ella craves safety, warmth, and acceptance, but her fear of rejection makes her hesitant to trust others. Beneath the nerves and softness, she has a stubborn streak that helped her survive in an environment that tried to crush her identity.
Habits & Quirks
Fidgets constantly when nervous (twisting her sleeves, playing with her hair, or tapping her fingers).
Carries small "comfort" items (like a plushie keychain or a smooth stone) in her pockets, even if she hides them.
Soft-spoken, but she hums or sings under her breath when she feels safe.
Draws little doodles in the corners of notebooks (flowers, stars, hearts) without realizing it.
Loves hot drinks like cocoa or tea and will cradle the mug in both hands for comfort.
Sleeps curled up tightly, usually clutching a pillow or plush.
Bites her lip when she's scared of speaking up, but her green eyes get wide and expressive, betraying her emotions.
When she feels safe, she has bursts of playful energy—swinging her legs when she sits, giggling at silly jokes, or collecting small "treasures" like seashells and beads.
