let me talk about my other loves/muses || @rationedwell || accepting !!
name: Maria Estella Corina Reuda, ‘Ella’ status: fandomless ocfc: Alexa VegaElla was adopted very young- her mother was only at the beginning of a 40 year sentence for the brutal murder of Ella’s father, a married man with a family of his own. Unfortunately for Ella, the adoption was more or less a manipulation- a political move by a man maneuvering into power, gaining the vote of the local Latinx population by taking in a child bred in violence. She spent a great deal of her childhood paraded around by the O’Sullivan clan, kept neatly penned in, denied any access to her heritage, absolutely denied access to her mother or information about her mother more than the knowledge that her mother had killed her father.
A lifetime of being used as a pawn, a tool, for others tainted Ella’s sense of self. She has a difficult time being alone, being without direction. She’s extremely dependent on others to define who she is, adapting at will to any situation, something she sees as an asset, but which others recognize as her being false, or fair weather, decidedly easy to use.
In a lot of ways, she’s very childish, but her propensity for being used extends to a great deal of other things- she lost her innocence in general very young. Still playful, she presents as very sweet, but under that veneer is a fractured girl who drinks too much and parties too hard, and is painfully ignorant of her blood family on either side.
