- Elliana was born into an orphanage without getting the chance to ever meet her parents, dumped to the side because she was no longer wanted. The girl had a pretty good life whilst growing up and getting along with others were never a problem. Her childhood was sailing a good wave until it was disrupted awfully when the orphanage burst into flames, burning down every single thing Elliana was familiar with. She couldn't stomach the fact that the arsonist could not be identified either. It was a pity that the first home she would ever know would disappear right in front of her very eyes.
Due to the orphanage's demise, she and her fellow orphans were sent to another orphanage that was quite close to the old one. Once there, she noticed that the reception wasn't quite warm as she would have hoped it to be and the people there seemed to have created a distance from her and her fellow peers. Probable cause was the fact that they were deemed a bad omen and the other kids including the staff believed that the same fate would befall them if the newcomers were given the feeling that they were welcome in the new orphanage. It was horrible treatment that Elliana and her family received.
Since her hair color was quite odd and unique (since who in the world has purple hair), Elliana was often bullied by the other kids in the orphanage. Peer pressure also forced those who she knew to bully her also, causing the girl to lose all trust in anyone she would get close to. The bullying made Elliana withdraw from reality and lock herself up in her room all the time. She completely gave up on the idea of being adopted and the thought of life never appealed to her anymore. That was the time period that her multiple personality disorder showed its increasing signs. The staff, aware of the memory lapses that she suffered under and the mischievous acts that she would often commit without retaining the memory afterwards, decided to send her to a doctor who diagnosed her with the disorder. As a result, the owner made the ultimate decision that Elliana would remain locked up in her room, only to be given meals when appropriate, and to avoid all contact with the other children.
She suffered. The world was an unfamiliar place, including the human beings living in it.
By the age of 16, Elliana was given a slight freedom to interact with the others. But that only increased her worries and stress, causing her disorder to become worse than it already was. With no knowledge of how to interact with the world, Elliana could do the only thing she knew how to do; cause trouble. Elliana often set things on fire, threaten the other children's lives with knives or anything sharp, cause fights, and any other unnecessary trouble she could think of. She was an unruly child and it would only become worse after that. On her 18th birthday, the day she was to be released to the world from the orphanage, Elliana received mail. Mail that would change the way she viewed herself.
The envelope contained a single letter, without any name, revealing the fateful night that caused all her comforts to disappear. The arsonist responsible for the orphanage's demise was Elliana. During that time, her disorder was already showing signs. She was playing with a lighter in her room one day, setting the curtains in her room on fire because the thought of lights and flames enchanted the female. She left the room and the building itself, sparing herself and a few others who were out during that day, from the fire. The news upset Elliana entirely that she attempted to commit suicide.
Before she left the orphanage, Elliana set up a rope in her room and hung herself. However, the noose was not so tight, causing her to struggle and her death was not dealt fast enough. She was caught in her suicide attempt by a staff that came to check up on the girl, who frantically cut her down and lectured her about her attempt. The incident left a rope burn around her neck, which she covers with a necklace.
A few days later, Elliana received an invitation to a "get away cruise" which she begrudgingly accepted due to the recommendation of the owner of the orphanage. Packing her essentials, Elliana departed for a fresh new start.
