TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Ella couldn't help but laugh the smallest amount when she insulted herself. Honestly, in a way she could believe it. People had the capability of changing. She was actually living proof. Not that long ago she would have been taking orders from her mother and never interacting with anyone else. Now she was doing things with people she never met before that day. Perfect example was Jetta. She was also contributing to the clan in her own ways and actually being appreciated for it. It was definitely a turn for the better though.

"Don't you think you're being a little harsh on your past self?" the feline asked using a slightly playful tone. It was rare for her to be able to joke around with someone at all. Being that her family hated her practically it was hard to actually converse with them. Other then the typical yelling and insults thrown at her of course. To actually be able to be a bit more relaxed was quite a pleasant feeling.

Ella continued to follow Jetta as she kept beside of her. It was a little odd to have someone so close, but so far she hadn't harmed her. It was a good sign so far so she let her float next to her as she walked. Maybe this would end up being a good time instead of just strictly helping a stranger.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Wait, was that her name? In a promotion announcement? Her heart almost felt like it was about to burst from the mixture of anxiety and pride. Yes, she was proud of herself for doing well enough to rise in rank but she was also quite nervous. Would she be able to keep this up and do more for the clan? She really hoped she so. She made a mental note to take her rank seriously and to do her best with her new rank.

"Thank you," Ella said with a soft, bright smile on her face. "Congratulations everyone!" she cheered feeling also happy for those who were promoted, given a title, or given a shout out. It was quite nice to know that she and others were being appreciated for their hard work. Hopefully things would continue to go well with the clan and their members.

Not having anything to add, the female stayed listening intently in case one of the other hps had something else to add to the announcement.

//Good job everyone with a job well done!

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Ella gave a small nod as she spoke, and handed her the supplies she chose for her. Hopefully if they needed help they would ask her.

"Great! I'll leave you two to fill in the rock borders and organize things on your own accord. If you feel like something could be added or changed let me know!" the feline said excitedly before she headed off with some of her own tools towards the herbal part of the garden. This was her favorite part other then the areas with the small weeping willows since it was actually very useful. There were all sorts of herbs for both healing and cooking. She was quite proud of herself as she also had taken some time to study different herbs and their uses as well as the needed care for them.

With that said, the blueish-gray furred female began to get to work on setting up the herb area. She made sure to take mental notes on everything she was doing, what she needed to do, and to keep an eye out for anyone else who wanted to help or make suggestions.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Being that Ella had never really been beaten she wasn't effected by the comment. Most of her torture was through verbal insults and emotional manipulation. No one had ever really laid a hand on her. After all, it may be what causes her to finally snap. At least, she did wonder if that would be the cause sometimes.

Noting the slight look of realization on her face and her changing the subject, she listened to her question. It was quite interesting how everything ended up the way it was. It was like fate had brought the other BlizzardClanner into her life to make it better.

"I was invited by another member though she wasn't a member at the time. She was actually on her way to rejoining," Ella started as she though back on the day Ada and her met. "We ended up meeting in the loner lands beforehand. I was hunting for my family, and she was on her way here. We ended up talking a bit and then she invited me. At first I said no, but after I thought about it I decided it was my best option," she continued feeling a little pain come back from mentioning her family. She tried her best not to show it though since it was her problem. It wasn't Jetta's. "I made my way here, and then was accepted into their ranks. I've been pretty much settling in and fixing up my home ever since," she finished finally looking back over at the clouded feline with a soft smile.

Honestly, that was only the summarized version of how she ended up in BlizzardClan. She didn't really feel like going into the dark details of how everything transpired. She just simply left it be not wanting anyone to worry about her.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — //Oof, sorry my dude xD THEY FINALLY MEET AGAIN AHHH

Ella perked up as a familiar scent drifted in the air. Turning her head, she noticed the feline and smiled brightly. After not seeing her since they last talked she was beginning to think that Ada hadn't rejoined BlizzardClan after all.

"Fantastic! It is good to see you again by the way," the feline said as her green hues met Ada's icy blues. It was the truth though that she had doubted Canoris was telling the truth when she first joined. She hadn't seen Ada at all after she had invited her to the clan. Not when she joined, not in any later events, nothing. She might have saw her as she had escaped the fighting and arguing with Rhae had showed up, but that was about it.

Feeling a bit more relaxed again, Ella continued to work on the herb garden making it as neat, organized, and efficient as possible.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Finally, some time to really get her cottage worked on. So far she had been quite busy attending other people's small events and making her clan garden. Now though she was going to solely focus on restoring her new home.

It was a relatively large cottage compared to her. Since the door was gone she put a temporary door there made out of thick vines with a sturdy flower doorknob. There were also some patches in the ceiling that she was currently fixing up, and most were covered with more vines so she wouldn't be flooded out while sleeping. Overall, it was quite sad to look at on the outside. What she saw in it some may question, but she didn't currently care for other's opinions. She just cared about what she thought of it.

Ella set down some of her homemade tools and supplies as she came up beside of the house. All of these were kept in a basket, and were quite organized as well. She didn't want to end up searching forever to find one thing after all. Not that it would actually take a long time if it was messy, but that was what she told herself. As she set down the supplies she looked at the various patches and places on the house she needed to work on.

Deciding not to just stare and do nothing, the flower crowned feline began to get to work. She carried some of the straw and clay towards the ceiling using steps she made out of woven plants. She couldn't deny that her power came in handy when it came to things like this. Creating your own tools and other needs was quite nice. Once she made it up to the top she quickly began getting to work on putting clay and straw on top of the thick vines. This would make it so the ceiling would be waterproof and wouldn't leak like it did currently.

//I got a picture of her cottage though it is definitely a smaller version adalicia swarovski

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Have you made any friends yet? That was the one question she didn't want to answer. Aside from her asking about the details of why she left her family. Most people didn't know it, but she didn't really have emotional connections to people. In a way she felt kind of distant from others, and sometimes reality itself. She sometimes felt as though she was just a drifter in the world. No real purpose, no real sense of who she was as a person, she pretty much was just a waste of space. No one knew that of course. No, she tried hiding her true feelings from people since she didn't want help from others. After all, after all the times she messed up with her family she felt she didn't deserve it.

"In a sense. I've been focusing more on trying to get adjusted and making myself useful," Ella said trying to fix the slight oddity in her smile. Now it seemed to have something off about it. It was like she was sad and hiding something dark. In a sense she was since only Ada really knew about her past life. Hopefully Ada hadn't spread the truth to the other members of the clan. She really didn't want anyone worrying about her or anything of the sort.

"I've met quite a few people though so its a start," she added hoping it would distract Kady from the truth. Her anxiety was beginning to build up, and she could feel it tearing her apart a little bit. Due to so much emotional and verbal abuse she had been left quite broken. She grew up with practically herself, and friends were something so foreign to her. It was hard to accept that someone even cared about her at all sometimes. She tried her best, but sometimes she felt like they were lying. She hadn't even thought about these things though until she had asked about her making friends.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — For once she actually chuckled a little bit. Most people wouldn't really hear her laugh. She not only barely had a full smile, but she barely laughed at all. To hear her laugh at all was quite an oddity. Maybe it was a sign of her self-esteem and depression improving. Mentally she doubted it, but it was possible.

"If you call that being inspired then I don't want to know what you call revenge," Ella said as she finished off a bite of her rabbit. Her green hues then went over to Surge as he tried to earn some credit. "Good work to both of you then," she said with a soft smile on her face. Honestly, she was probably more relaxed now then she had been pretty much her whole life. She was in decent company, had good food, and even could actually be a little playful in her tone. It was probably the nicest feeling to know she finally had people who possibly had her back if she ever needed it.

The smile grew a little bigger at these thoughts. For once she could finally be a little at peace even if it was just temporary.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Ella watched as she gave her a small nod of consent and smiled softly. Thank goodness she let her take care of her wounds. She wasn't sure how busy Irene was so she took it upon herself to help the canine. Might as well be of use to the clan, and maybe help alleviate some stress from the medic if she had any.

Green hues going to the ground, the feline raised her paw watching as the smallest patch of marigold and horsetail sprouted and grew. The two plants rose up and grew to full maturity by the time she had lifted her paw a few inches. Soon enough the feline went to work making the poultice mixture.

"Have you ever gotten sick from either of these plants possibly?" Ella asked as she made some marigold poultice and horsetail poultice. She kept them separate for now, but if she said no then she would probably mix the two together. After all, they had pretty much the same purpose. Stave bleeding and help with infection. She was lucky that she had some basic medical knowledge or Canoris may have had to wait a bit.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ —//It makes the task much more fun. Besides, I had a character who tried to make a clan garden here before to bring up the morale of the clan. She was an absolute flower child, and was based off of Alice from Alice in Wonderland.

Ella glanced over at Canoris as she made her way over to the group. She listened as she heard the first sentence, and smiled with an understanding look. She knew the canine was a little more literal then creative. Well, at least judging from their few interactions. "It's perfectly fine. If you ever want to help though let me know," the feline told her before listening to her suggestion. Her entire expression seemed to brighten up at the new idea for the herb garden. She was right, some of the other clans may need medical supplies, and the other herbs could be used on visits. It was genius!

"That a brilliant idea!" Ella chirped before backing up from the herb garden. A thoughtful look came across her face as she began reimagining how the section of the garden would be. She may want to plant extra flowers nearby so they could bring those to their allies as well. It would be a gift possibly for them. Maybe if she found a way to layer it...

A look of excitement came across her face as she soon headed to the area with her supplies. She quickly got out some extra pots and boxes she had brought just in case. To fit in the space she might as well make layers that rose up and still could support most of the plants. The rest of the plants which wouldn't survive could go in an area next to it with some plants she hadn't included in the original idea.

Soon enough she brought the plants carefully out of the area she had put them in and put them back in their original pots. Once done she began to get to work putting the biggest box down first. Once she did she filled it with dirt and put a smaller box in the middle of it. She continued the process for a little while making makeshift stairs next to it so people could reach the top.

Once she was done she got down and smiled with pride. She knew though that her work wasn't quite done, but it was good to have the actual set up done. With that said, she began to bring out some of the herbs and spices and began planting them on each level accordingly.

//Here is what the actual product looks like

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — A gentle frown formed on the feline's maw as she heard his words. Better to let him die? But why? No one deserved to be left to die. Not even the worst people in the groups and clans. At least, that was what she believed in.

"Why do you deserve that? To be just left to die?" Ella asked with concern. What about him could be so bad that he believed he should die? To her it was absurd. Most people who felt they needed to die felt guilty about something they had done, or feel terrible about who they were. If they really wanted to though they didn't have to die. They could try to change, to improve, and to thrive. Not only that, but she just couldn't bring herself to do so. With her kind heart it was nearly impossible.

When she heard his name she gave a small nod. He was right, she had never heard about him. She had spent most of her life sheltered and in the loner lands. She never had much interaction other then with her family before she joined. In truth he really did have the advantage against her. He could lie easily and get away with it.

Looking at him with concerned green hues, she waited patiently to hear his response. She really was confused on why he felt he should die. Then again, she felt like she was a waste of space. She had a legitimate reason though since she was told numerous times she was worthless. Eventually she had believed it. What was his reasoning for being so down though?

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Listening as the feline spoke, she realized there was probably no chance of helping her. As much as it hurt her she seemed to not care. It was like she was shutting down everything she was saying. It actually hurt her to watch someone sink to such a low. A low she knew all too well.

"Change isn't immediate, Tavi. It takes so much longer then you realize," Ella told her feeling her heart sink down. She really wanted to help her. Let her know that things could heal. She just needed to listen. Sadly, she wasn't and there wasn't much else she could do. She REALLY hated to say it, but she couldn't be helped.

"How is it ironic?" the flower crowned feline questioned tilting her head to the side a little. She was actually very confused. What was so ironic about Tavi respecting her? She didn't quite understand, and it made her quite nervous. She really hoped she wouldn't end up lashing out at her sometime soon for trying to help.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Watching as she gave her nod, the feline proceeded to put the poultice on her wound. The next question though made her a little nervous. It was a bit of a long story how she learned the basic medicine she had, but she hoped she could keep it short and sweet.

"My mother taught me a couple of things so I could help my siblings. Otherwise I learned from various methods like books, observation of others, and things like that," Ella explained as she soon finished up dressing her wound with the poultice. Now to just get it to stay.....cobwebs may do the trick, and she could maybe use some sort of larger, thicker leaf to cover it for now. Then she could use some small, sturdy vines to keep the leaf in place as well.

Green hues moved across the area before spotting a few cobwebs nearby. Going over to them, she gathered them up carefully before going back over. Making sure there was enough for the wound, she put the silky webs in place. She let out an amused chuckle as she heard Surge question the plants while she did her work.

"You got the marigold part right. Horsetail is the other plant," she said giving him a small smile before focusing on the wound. She soon made a relatively decent sized cabbage since she didn't want to use a leaf from the ground. Once it was big enough she took off on of the leaves and put it over the cobwebs and poultice. She then proceeded to wrap it in the vines she found nearby so it would stay in place. "Now, just try to keep everything relatively there until Irene can have a better look. This is a temporary patch since I don't have the best supplies," Ella told her as she looked back at her.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — She had overheard everything from her talking to whoever and after. Honestly, she felt a bit of hurt from her words even if it wasn't directed to her. Had she not really listened to her at all? Apparently not. No surprise there as her family was similar and didn't listen to her either. It was hard to accept that there were more people like her family out there.

Deciding not to say anything to her, she kept to herself out of sight. She was getting quite sick of this. Her self-pity, her anger, everything. As much as she wanted to help her she just wouldn't accept it. Her efforts at this point had become futile. Not only were her efforts in vain, but she was also probably leaving. No surprise as her bitterness seemed to be holding her mind hostage.

As the flower crowned feline stood there, she contemplated speaking up. To tell her what she thought. Sadly, she didn't due to the fear of being verbally assaulted by the catsune. Instead she began to head away towards her cottage where she could get some work done. She was getting quite close, and hopefully the project could get her mind off the current situation.

With that said, Ella made her way away from the scene. She was going to keep Tavi's conversation a secret for now. If she felt she had to though then she would most definitely let Aleksei know even if the thought killed her internally.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ —//Welcome back!

The flower crowned feline had been walking around gathering herbs and other random items to fill her new home with. She had finally finished doing some path work on it, and now was working on the interior. She currently was gathering some plants, soil, and other things to make the cottage her own. Once she was done with the interior she was also going to work on some gardening for the outside of it. Honestly, the whole thing was quite exciting since she had been working quite hard on it for a few days now.

When she made her way through the enchanted forest though she caught an unfamiliar scent. A joiner perhaps? An ally? She wasn't quite sure, but she was going to find out. With that said, the paladin trainee picked up her woven basket and began carrying it towards the unknown scent.

As she got closer she noticed the silver fox standing at the border. He seemed to be quite nervous, but that was normal. She was quite nervous when she initially joined too. Actually, even now she was quite nervous about everything.

Ella gave a small smile as she set down the basket a respectful distance from him. Once it was placed on the ground she looked back at him. "Hello, may I have your name and business here?" the female asked the other politely. It was quite amusing how proper she was. Some may find it nice, but others found it quite peculiar. Then again, living in a family where one wrong word could cause a problem it was a good thing to be as proper as possible.

With that said, the feline waited patiently for the fox to answer her question.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Well, better late then never. Being a bit busy with some things the feline hadn't come to the sleepover until after Kady and another arrived. When she came up though it was clear she was anxious and unsure of herself. No one could really blame her though since she had never been to a sleepover. Her family had kept her locked in a bubble most of her life, and she never really had friends to begin with. So, this all was a new experience for her.

Staying a bit quiet due to being shy, the feline placed herself near her clanmate, Kady. She kept a respectful distance though as she didn't want to make her uncomfortable. The flower crowned girl just wanted to be closer to someone she knew.

Ella gave a small, polite smile to the other two who she assumed were allies. Being Kady hadn't attacked anyone or anything it was a safe assumption. She was still quite new to everything, and allies was definitely something she hadn't learned a lot about yet. She barely knew who were actually allies and who were enemies. The fact she didn't know made her quite nervous.

The paladin trainee kept quiet for now as she looked around the area. Maybe if she loosened up she could have fun. She doubted it, but it could happen.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — She was quite lucky that she wasn't a human because her face would have been as red as a tomato. It was odd to have someone calling her beautiful after all that she had been through. Actually, sometimes she was called ugly by her family. It was quite different to hear someone say she was beautiful.

Giving a soft, shy smile the feline came closer as Kady motioned her over. She had no doubt in her mind that she was trying to get her more social. Since she joined the clan though she had tried her best. It was just odd to be on someone else's territory, and meeting people with only one clanmate around. To her it was quite the oddity since there were quite a few of the members that seemed to be around all the time. Actually, she was one of them.

"It is nice to meet you, Michael," Ella said noting the fact he had mispronounced her name. Judging from the accent he might have been from a different culture. That or he just had a speech problem. It was one of the two. Then he asked about something of the Cartel. It was quite odd to hear someone talking about what probably was a more morbid subject in the middle of a sleepover. Then again, some people were quite focused on politics.

The flower crowned feline kept quiet as she glanced over at Kady. She really hoped that she would talk to him after the event. It would be quite bad to talk politics in the middle of someone else's territory in her opinion.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ —Hearing the call from Surge, the feline began to head over to the scene. To be called for something must have meant she was in trouble, or someone needed help. Canoris was the first person to see her medical capabilities. Though she knew most of the basics, complex things weren't really her area of expertise. This though, was one of those times where she recognized what was going on immediately.

Seeing Kady on the ground, she quickly got over to her. Judging from the looks of it, she hadn't been taking care of herself. She seemed a little learner then before, she also was dehydrated, and she definitely wasn't getting sleep. She knew she had been tired as of recently, but this....this was entirely different.

"She does indeed. We also need a small rabbit or squirrel to help get her appetite up a bit. If I can find a way I will try to inject water into it to make it more appetizing, and to help hydrate her more," Ella told her as she glanced over at her though kept most of her focus on Kady. She really doubted she would die soon, but she would die in a few days if this kept up. "We can also make a bowl. I'll weave some vines together and shape one, but I'll need some sort of mud or clay to cover the outside. This will keep water from leaking through," she continued before finally giving her full attention to Kady. "And you need to rest after we get you some food and water. I know you haven't been sleeping, but it is necessary for your health," she finished before she began looking around for vines.

Seeing some relatively thick vines winding around a tree nearby, the female motioned Canoris to go get them. "There are some vines. I'm going to keep by Kady's side, and after I weave them together I need you to get the clay and put it on the outside. Then you can bring the water over," Ella instructed making sure she was quite clear on what she wanted her to do.
