Ella

[fool_hardy]

NAME: Ella Calloway
ROOM: Junior Swords Girl's
ROOMMATES: Willa Siskin & Rose Chapman

DECORATIONS: Something kinda like this. There's probably a lot of color and string lights. It's very eclectic, nothing truly matches, and it's very unorganized despite all the organization things she has???
TIDINESS: Ella isn't a clean person. She's not a slob tbf, but she's very forgetful. It's not unusual for her to leave her bed unmade, clothes on the floor, etc. She doesn't leave food though, so there's that? She does her best to confine the disorganization to her side of the room, though. She leaves her shoes at the door but will do that with multiple pairs, so there's probably a small pile of her shoes regularly by the door.
STANDARDS: Ella has no standards. She doesn't care what you do. Although a firm believer in sharing, she doesn't expect anyone to share their things so while you have free reign over anything she owns as long as you give it back, she's not expecting the same thing from you. She will totally respect your rules, though, unless she forgets. :(
PET PEEVES: Ella has to listen to music when she's studying or doing homework or pretty much doing anything in her room. She'll wear headphones, but the music often seeps through them so if Rose or Willa tried to yell at her or forbid her from her cherished shitty music she'd have a bit of a problem with that.
HABITS: The only routine is that she has no routine. She doesn't shower at the same time of day every day, she doesn't have designated study times or anything. She's always in and out. There is zero method to her madness.
HIDDEN TREASURES: She does indeed. Ella has a baby blanket she still sleeps with. It's a fraction of what it used to be, is super small now so it fits in her pillow and she hides it there and sleeps with it at night. She also keeps some illicit substances when she can get her hands on them.
SLEEPING HABITS: Nonexistent. There's no schedule to her sleep, either. She only sleeps a few hours every night - she tends to be up very late, is a super light sleeper, and is up early. Her sleep is really restless and she talks in her sleep almost as much as she does when she's awake. When that schedule eventually gets to her and she knocks out hard, she sleeps silently and like a rock. You could pour water on her and she probably wouldn't wake up.
BATHROOM HABITS: Ella is pretty efficient - she showers in less than ten minutes, and she gets ready at the speed of light unless there's something going on - party, dance, etc then she'll take a little more time. Typically she takes just a few minutes to throw on her make-up and get ready to go. Every once in a while she'll try and do something to tame her hair which might increase that time, but it's infrequent.

COMMON ROOM: Ella absolutely tried to decorate the common room, sorry guys. She doesn't realize if people are taking it down it's because they don't like it. She thinks it probably fell???? So she just keeps trying. She does NOT treat it like an extension of her own space, though she will forget some of her own things in there whenever she uses it so it wouldn't be unusual to see like, a blanket or a book or her ipod or whatever there.
