Given Name || Michelle Aurora Ullmann
Nicknames/Aliases || She prefers to go by Elle, but her nicknames include: Mimi (Mitchell and Jett); Chelle (her mother calls her this); and several unflattering nicknames from others at the school.
Age/Year/School || She’s a senior at Salem High School. She’s 17 and her birthday is February 17th.
Gender || Female
Sexuality || Heterosexual

School/Social Life
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
Job || Nothing! Though Elle does babysit for Tyler’s family – he has two little sisters who sometimes need a babysitter. Elle will watch over them for 4 bucks an hour for his parents. She doesn’t care much for the money (she’s loaded) but she likes to hang out with the two little girls!
Reputation || Popular; she’s ‘best friends’ with Tina. Best friends is in quotes because she and Tina are not what you would call ‘deep friends’ but they always hang out together outside of class and school because they are the same social circle. They’re both cheerleaders and appear airheaded to the general public, but can also be mean and quite venomous when it comes to gossip.
Friends || Tina, her best friend in air-quotes. Jett, her on and off again boyfriend. The on and off again bit is mainly due to Elle’s brothers being less than friendly to him and intimidating him to the point that dating her is difficult, especially when Elle remains oblivious to their dislike of him.
Enemies/Rivals || Lots of people dislike Elle. She’s popular and a bitch and that combination basically means that the people who she shit talks about and gossips about hate her. Most of the ‘nerds’, and smart people around school, dislike her as well because she pays no mind to grades. She doesn’t think the debate team likes her much, either. And of course, lots of girls who think Jett is hot hate her because despite the fact they’re on/off, Jett always considers himself faithful to her and only her. She can’t lie – the thought makes her giddy!
Relationship Status || Single, sort of. She’s on and off again with Jett, and it’s kind of an unspoken truth at Salem High that they’re always a couple even when they’re ‘off’.
Clubs and Organizations || She is a base on the Salem High cheerleading team.

She also has a habit of chewing on pencils. It’s gross and she hates doing it, but can’t stop!

History
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
Family ||
Malcolm Ullmann Sr. – Father – 47 – Business CEO || Malcolm Sr. is always on travel – he never stays in one place for long. His business is a brand of technology designed optimally for medical use. As a result he’s often going to testing sites where his designs are being used to help treat the sick. He works often with his wife, Jaqueline, to give her company deals on his products to keep her in good standing as well as her offering him critique and feedback on his business. Malcolm Sr. is not opposed to donating to charity and often donates money to lesser funded hospitals he comes across – though it would be a lie to say that it wasn’t for show. Malcolm Sr. is never around for his kids and has left the raising of them to his eldest son, Mitchell. Malcolm Sr. loves to see his kids and hear of accomplishments, but seems to zone out and lack interest when talking about anything about his kids that does not show promise – for example, Elle’s interests and hobbies. Every time their parents come over for dinner (about once a month), Malcolm tries to inflate Elle as much as he can to please them.
Dr. Jaqueline Ullmann – Mother – 46 – Surgeon || Jaqueline, much like her husband, is always at work. She lives in a small studio apartment close to the hospital she works at and is always on call. She, honestly, almost runs the surgery department there. Because of this, she’s always going into work even when she’s supposed to be ‘off’ and is a highly requested surgeon. She rarely has time to travel back to Salem to be with her kids. As a result instead of bonding with them, she will often give them expensive gifts to apologize for being away. Of her three kids, Jaqueline is closest to Malcolm Jr., who very much appreciates the gifts.
Mitchell Ullmann – Older Brother – 27 – Lawyer || Mitchell is 6’7” tall, very well-muscled, and very handsome. He’s also very good at what he does and very brutal, resulting in him being a very well-paid lawyer who almost always wins the cases he takes on. He’s the one who houses his younger siblings in his house and he pretty much takes care of them himself while his parents are off doing whatever they want to do, often sending him money to help him (not that he particularly needs help). Mitchell is particularly protective of Elle, who, unlike Malcolm, is naïve and trusting of everyone and easy to take advantage of. He’s not oblivious to her ‘friends’ taking advantage of her and her spending her money on them, nor does he move to stop her, but if he senses any serious harm coming her way, he’ll put an end to it. The biggest threat he sees in the group is Jett, Elle’s on-off again boyfriend whose motives he doesn’t trust. Mitchell was named for Malcolm Sr.’s brother, who died a few months before he was born. Otherwise, he would have been Malcolm Jr.
Malcolm Ullmann Jr. – Younger Brother – 12 – Student || Malcolm is Elle’s little brother and the latest upcoming prodigy. It’s anticipated that when he’s a freshman in High School he’ll attend Metric or a school of equal artistic value. His talents, though, lie in coding. He’s a computer obsessed geek and he loves coding and wants to make video games when he’s older. He’s always playing video games and considers himself an expert at design and is very, very picky about what he likes and doesn’t like in games. He tends to prefer indie type games the best. Malcolm is what Elle likes to call an ‘evil boy genius’, and his skills with technology render him a strong ally when dealing with computers and a strong foe if one were to get on his nerves. Elle usually tries not to get on his nerves and the only one in the family who has the balls to tell Malcolm what to do is Mitchell – even their parents are wary of him at times.
Tyler Evans – Mitchell’s... friend? – 25 – something || When it comes to Tyler, Elle has absolutely no idea what to expect. He’s very friendly and she loves him when he comes around. Unlike her serious older brother he’s a total goofball, and never seems seriously bothered about anything no matter how much Mitchell is yelling around the house about this or that. He’s a very pastey white boy, and Mitchell often jokes that he’s ‘too white to act as black as he does’. He usually says ‘bro’ and likes to act ‘hip’ and ‘ghetto’. He’s very weird but Elle sees him as another brother just like Mitchell and Malcolm – he’s always been around, anyway! For his appearance, just picture a typical fuckboy type, with black hair and blue eyes.
Hometown || Salem, CA.
Vehicle/Transportation || A 2010 Honda Civic she got as a gift from her parents for her sweet 16. She loves her car – it always smells like strawberries due to the air freshener she has!
House/Living Arrangements || Elle lives in a very nice house wth her brothers. Mitchell owns it. Elle’s bedroom is on the second floor, the room in the upper right hand corner of the floor plan (bedroom 2). She decorated the entire house for holidays most of the time and loves to do to. The master suite is Mitchell’s, bedroom 3 is Malcolm’s, and bedroom 4 is the spare room, usually reserved for their parents. Tyler, when he stays over, always sleeps in Mitchell’s room rather than the guest room. The student is devoted to Mitchell’s paperwork and files and he does not like anyone messing around inside of it. The one-car garage is reserved for Mitchell’s vehicle; the 2 car garage contains Elle’s car and Tyler’s car.
Backstory || To say that Elle was born in the shadow of her older brother would be an understatement. From the beginning, her parents held high expectations of her. But she didn’t live up to them. They expected another child prodigy like Mitchell had been, but as it became clear that she was far from a prodigy, they began to grow disappointed.
Despite her parents’ disappointment, they tried not to let it on to Elle. As a child, Elle went by the nickname ‘Mimi’ in Kindergarten and first grade. She struggled with academics but was never short on friends – she was the most popular, social, and loudest girl in her elementary classes! Her parents began to take on longer-term jobs, often leaving babysitters in charge of their kids. The overpaid babysitters rarely cared to actually bond with the kids and simply ensured that they didn’t get harmed. Elle wanted to play with them but they never obliged. Mitchell actually humored his younger sister, who was ten years his junior.
When the youngest Ullmann child was born, it was clear the prodigy gene skipped a generation. Malcolm took after his older brother and parents, and they were always telling him how proud they were. Elle tried to impress her parents with art or music or writing, but she fell flat. When Elle was 8, Mitchell went off to Harvard Lawschool to get a master’s degree. So lonely, she begged for him not to go or to take her with him. Though he tried to find a school suitable for her in Massachusetts, their parents refused, saying she had to remain in Salem and she’d be fine without him. He listened and it was easily part of the worst time of Elle’s life. With middle school same the formation of cliques – while she had her friends she made her enemies as well. Being one of the ‘popular’ crowd she was resented by her classmates she didn’t know and she was revered only for being a bitch. She became one for a time – participating in the bullying that made her resented by her classmates. At home, her parents were rarely around. Malcolm was also revered by the babysitters and didn’t often play with Elle. She was not proud of that part of her life, but that was how she got into the popular clique and the cheerleading squad. At home life was terribly lonely and Mitchell often had to work during long breaks. Elle grew to resent being home, especially when everyone fawned over Malcolm and never paid her any mind.
When Elle finished 8th grade, Mitchell finally came home with his degree. He had an internship planned for his master’s program, and Elle was ecstatic to have him back. When he came back and saw how cold his family was towards Elle, he realized he made a mistake in his bringing her with him. So, he vowed not to leave her again and when he bought a house with the money he earned from his first successful trial, he had his siblings move in with him. Elle loved the change! With it marked her going to High School. She decided to go by ‘Elle’ rather than Mimi then, went on a shopping spree, and decided to do more with her family! Almost every night, Mitchell’s best friend Tyler came over and cooked them dinner. Elle even grew closer to Malcolm by living in the smaller (though still quite large) house Mitchell owned. While Mitchell often worked, Elle still coaxed him without much difficulty to be around for her and Malcolm’s sakes.
Elle entered High School – a few towns away from her middle and elementary schools – and immediately met and befriended the popular crowd. Tina, the head cheerleader, became her best friend and someone who Elle never doubted and always parroted the opinions of. In addition to Tina, there was someone else Elle met – Jett. He was in the same social circle she was. Sports player, jock, popular and well-liked. She immediately grew to crushing on him, drawing little hearts on her notebooks when they had the same class together while staring at the back of his head and fantasizing about being ‘Elle Navy’ someday, though she kept her fantasies to herself. She had a few boyfriends before – some from middle school, others from freshman year – but by the time the Valentine’s dance arrived, she was newly single. Elle tried to drop hints to get Jett to ask her to the dance but he never did – much to her chagrin. She gave up hope by the time they were actually at the dance, but shockingly, he asked her to dance with her. She did, and they wound up confessing to one another that night. Elle was extremely giddy that night and so ecstatic to have a boyfriend!
Unfortunately, with their relationship came conflicts. When Elle brought him home to meet her brothers, the introduction was less that savory. Mitchell, overprotective of Elle due to the neglect of their parents, did not take to Jett even though he had absolutely no reason to detest him. Elle, oblivious, didn’t sense the animosity Mitchell gave Jett and thought Jett was overreacting. On top of that, Elle has no ambition and Jett has all kinds of ambition. His dedication to school has always come first and it frustrates Elle to no end, when they go on their breaks and often she’ll try to make Jett jealous by flirting with other guys though they all know she’d seriously not into them. Because of this habit, a lot of girls who like Jett have made her their enemy – especially girls who think she’s a dumb airhead who just flirts around while her boyfriend works hard for his grades.
As an appeasement for being such shit parents, Elle’s parents often spoil her. Her car was a gift for her sweet 16 and Mitchell taught her how to drive. Elle loves to go out on long drives – and she loves to drive her friends to the mall as well! Someday, she hopes to live lavishly and comfortably, preferably as Jett’s trophy wife while remaining a good and healthy relationship with her brothers. She also wishes her parents were more proud of her, and sometimes in her low moments, she’ll wish she was more like her brothers so her parents would love her like they love them.
