Name: Ella Fran Barnett
Nickname: Franbanan on most gaming platforms
Age: 19
Birthday: November 12th
Sign: Scorpio
Gemstone: Citrine
Blood Type: O-
Fav. Food: Coconut macaroons
Hated Food: Most seafood--she's got a sensitive shellfish allergy, so it's never felt worth the risk.
School: Destiny City University (Computer Science)
Hobbies:
Coding: Mostly proficient in Java, Unity, and C++, Ella likes to write widgets and applications that make her life easier, because really, who has time to work hard? Also she likes it when people think she’s a hacker, it makes her feel like a badass.
MOBA Gaming: Ella plays ADC semi-professionally in League of Legends, though doesn’t stream regularly enough to be a big face in the twitch community. She hesitates making more of a presence for herself, mostly because she doesn’t want to deal with the inevitable headache of being a girl gamer, even if attitudes are slowly changing. She’s known for goofy builds and her well-curated music mixes.
Lo-fi Hip Hop Beats: It’s not just a youtube channel to chill to while studying--Ella insists that it’s a way of life. She’s got a vast collection of music that she curates to her moods, and enough of a classical music background to dabble in writing her own pieces now and again.
Virtues:
Brilliant: Ella has a thing for numbers. And language. And people. And the arts. And, well...there’s rarely an intellectual pursuit that Ella hasn’t taken to in some shape or form, though she’s mostly interested in tasks that challenge her logic or reasoning. Ella likes problems because she likes to solve problems, and most enjoys the little thrill of innovation any time she finds a solution to make life easier or her code more robust. Given enough time to plan and someone to help her with an ounce of follow-through, Ella dreams big enough that she has the potential to do great or terrible things.
Laid-back: Nothing matters but knowing nothing matters--even when things out to get her, Ella doesn’t let things get under her skin or ruffle her feathers. The way she sees it, the world is so big and so grand and so beautiful, what’s the use in crying over spilt milk? Ella is less a blind optimist and more a cheerful nihilist, because things are terrible and sometimes there’s no denying that, but you know what’s not terrible? Baby animals. Ice cream. Ella's the queen of Hakuna Matata--and when it suits her, it's a talent she can use to soothe others, make them take a load off and just relax.
Flaws:
Lazy: Ella takes work smarter, not harder to a whole new level. She’s never had to try much for anything, and if something causes her a problem, she makes a shortcut, and if there’s no shortcut to be made, she drops it. Her inability to focus or put effort into anything less than what is immediately interesting to her has caused her to suffer in many aspects of her life, including friendships, relationships, and her grades--no commitment is too important that it can't be dropped for some quality rest and recovery, and that attitude tends to get her in trouble. Still, life’s too short to worry about things that are boring or menial or mundane. That’s what little people are for, right?
Smug: Look. It’s not your fault. Some people just...aren’t as gifted, and that’s okay. But Ella knows that she’s just a little bit better than your average person, and she makes little effort to hide those assumptions about people. Sometimes she’s prone to only half-listen to someone’s well-thought out opinion, and she underestimates people in spades. When she inevitably miscalculates, she shrugs and plays it off as considering a better alternative, and she’s good enough at mental gymnastics that it’s hard to pin her down long enough to actually get her to admit that she’s wrong. Ella's attitude tends to alienate her from her peers, and and while not usually intentional, her smart mouth has been known to get her in trouble on more than a few occasions.
