Her story line doesn't intersect with Echoleana or Echolean's friends.
Ellie lives in a world void of color. The word "color" isn't even in their vocabulary (no need for it); only values are visible in her world.
When Ellie gets nervous she begins to bleed from her nose, ears, or mouth; when she cries her tears are black. She is very shy and tends to get nervous around people a lot. Her birthday is February 22nd! So make sure to tell her happy birthday! In drawing years she will be a year old. :D
