- Ellie Fowles - 09-07-2015 Name: Ellanor Fowles, also known as Ellie or El by her nearest and dearest Occupation : Private Detective Height: 5' 7" Build: Athletic Appearance: Ellie keeps herself toned and fit, and has long black hair. She is of Puerto Rican, Haitian and Lebanese ancestry. She prefers to wear casual muted garb that gives her the freedom to move quickly and disappear into a crowd; she can usually been seen wearing dark tight jeans, tank tops, a light jacket and Dr. Martens. She wears a Buddhist charm on a chain at all times; a present from her sister who lives in India since the death of their mother 7 years previously. She wears a handgun in a body holster; her preferred weapon is an antique SIG Sauer P226 9mm, lovingly restored with a carbon fibre grip. Shrewd, sagacious and meticulous in her work, Ellie is highly intelligent with a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from the Greater New York Metropolis University. She is generally reserved and skeptical, preferring to observe situations around her; these attributes make her particularly well suited to surveillance work. She is also somewhat dualistic in that her diligence in her work does not carry through to her personal life, which is chaotic. She is bisexual with a penchant for one night stands, mainly due to her reluctance to settle down after the loss of her fiance. Ellie grew up in the Bronx in New York with her mom and sister, and developed a deep love for her people and her community. Her desire to protect the most vulnerable from the corruption forced upon them by the most powerful led her to pursue a career as a detective for the NYPD. A year into the job she found she shared common interests with fellow detective Jamie Hanes, and they became lovers. Their relationship quickly escalated, and they were engaged ten months later. Several months later. Ellie landed a big case - concerning the body trail of a local mob boss. As she drew closer to closing it, she uncovered evidence of large scale corruption among the ranks of her fellow officers, including that of her fiance. Horrifically torn between the love for Jamie and her morality, Ellie struggled to deal with the situation. Unable to make the decision, she handed the case over to her Superintendent, who swiftly brought an end to the careers of those implicated, leading to the arrest of the mob boss. Jaime was sentenced to prison, and he broke off their engagement. Upon finding out her connection to Jaime, in retaliation, the mob boss ordered his execution while in jail. Ellie's job was no longer tenable, and her loss drove her to leave New York. She decided that London was far enough away for her purposes, and she used a contact in the DVII Capital Division Custody to network with, ensuring her free passage to set up her own agency. Ellie is one of two employees at Fowles Detective Agency, based in Angel, Islington, London, where she works along with her secretary, Barry. Most of Ellie's work involves solving small time surveillance and domestic cases, but she works hard to keep herself distracted. She is a rational woman, and although has seen strange things in her line of work, remains skeptical about rumors of the unexplained. <dl class="c_post-attachment"> <dt>Attached to this post:</dt> <dd> Ellie_Fowles.jpg (31.38 KB)</dd> </dl> Edited by Ellie Fowles, Sep 7 2015, 07:21 PM.
