INTRO:
⌠ MAIA MITCHELL, 21, CIS FEMALE, SHE/HER ⌡ welcome back to gallagher academy, ELLIOT CHASE! according to their records, they’re a THIRD year, specializing in THREAT ELIMINATION & AWARENESS TRAINING, BREATH CONTROL, HAND TO HAND COMBAT; and they DID NOT go to a spy prep high school. when i see them walking around in the halls, i usually see a flash of chewed up hoodie strings, cherry chapstick, late night fast food runs, stolen sneakers, blood red knuckles clutching a bouquet of red roses. when it’s the scorpio’s birthday on 11/4/1998, they always request their HOT CHEETOS from the school’s chefs. looks like they’re well on their way to graduation. ⌿ zee, 23, she/her, est ⍀
hello everyone! i’m zee and i’m super excited to be here. here’s a little bit about elliot. please come plot with me and my angry lil bean! feel free to dm me here or on discord!!
(cw for death and alcoholism)
-ok so elliot chase was born on november 4th in santa rosa, california. she hates her birthday and refuses to celebrate it because it’s the same day her mother died, due to complications from elliot’s birth. she has felt responsible for this her whole life. her brothers are five and seven years older than her, and although no one will actually say this to her, she thinks she was an accident (she was) and that just makes her guilt worse.
-being a single dad with three kids means working a lot, so elliot’s dad wasn’t around much and she was basically raised by her brothers. she was always a ‘tomboy’ simply because that was what she knew. they were very athletic which meant elliot was, too. and even though elliot was so much smaller than them, they still loved to pick on her, so she had to learn very young how to fight back.
-she decided she wanted to take a karate class and discovered that she loved martial arts. by now she has a black belt in karate, a black belt in judo, a purple belt un muay thai, and a brown belt in jiu jitsu. everything revolved around training, and she didn’t have much of a social life. usually that didn’t bother her. her dream was to become an mma fighter, and even though she’d have to fight as a strawweight, elliot was confident she could achieve this goal.
-her dad was good at hiding it, but over the years his dependence on alcohol had been slowly increasing. when elliot was thirteen her middle brother went off to college and it became clear very quickly that her father was barely able to take care of himself, let alone a teenage girl. he lost his second job and couldn’t afford to send elliot to her practices anymore, so she decided she would get the money herself.
-she had no supervision so she basically started grifting, using short cons like pretending to be lost and needing money for a cab ride home. which worked for a cute little thirteen year old. she also became a pretty decent pickpocket. and once she was too old to pass as a cute lil kid she started using her ~feminine wiles~ (lol what a phrase) to trick stupid men into giving her money or their watches or something. and doing this she was able to scrape up enough money to keep practicing martial arts.
-one night when she was a senior in high school, she crashed a bougie wedding and stole a whole bunch of shit without anyone noticing (think tandy bowen). at least, almost anyone noticing- a gallagher alumna clocked her taking someone’s wallet from their pocket and kept an eye on her throughout the night. later, a server knocked into her and a bunch of things fell out of elliot’s purse. she used her training to fight back and fairly easily got away, but the alumna followed elliot to where she had stashed her bike and confronted her. she basically told elliot that if she stopped breaking the law, she might be able to put her skills to work, and to just be patient. and sure enough, after elliot graduated from high school, she got the letter. she figured she could put a career as an mma fighter on hold, especially if it meant learning all sorts of fighting techniques for free. and now she’s here.
-personality wise, she’s a little standoffish (although she can also be sort of forcefully outgoing? idk depends on her mood) , aggressive, and very blunt. can be very sarcastic at times. she’s very competitive and determined, and willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. she swears like a sailor and has an odd sense of humor, things she picked up from her brothers. elliot definitely has a softer side, but it’s not always easy to see. she’s extremely loyal and will go to the mat for the people she cares about.
-she loves action and horror movies and eats a disturbing amount of junk food. she has terrible insomnia and can often be found going for a run at three in the morning.
-is 5′4″ but thinks she’s 6′2″
-will respond equally to elliot and chase. if you’re really close you can call her el. if you call her ellie she will physically hurt you.
(i’ll probably add more hcs later but this is getting longer than anticipated)
wanted connections!!
a ride or die (please)
friends/anyone who can put up with her being kind of a dick
my fave trope is probably enemies to friends to lovers so this is a biggie
or honestly just enemies to lovers or friends to lovers?? or friends to enemies? enemies to friends? basically just relationships that go from being one thing to something completely different!
rivals
exes (who ended on good terms, who ended on bad terms, who still hook up, anything)
or anything, really! if you have a wc that you think elliot could be right for just let me know!
<3
