full name: Jacqueline (Mann) Ellison. However, for the purposes of this little 'chore' that her dad has her on, she's going to be using her mother's maiden name, which is Mann, and going by 'Elle', a shorter version of her last name. Her sorority sisters called her Elle in college, so she's pretty used to it, anyway.

five important personal events that have shaped who your character is:
∴ BEING BORN - She and her twin sister were born into the very wealthy and very elite Ellison Family of New York. They grew up with tutors until middle school, when she and Monica begged to be allowed to go to public school. While public school was out, their mother and father agreed to send them away to school. Where Jacqueline did her best and got very good grades, Monica did her best to get into trouble. Since the school couldn't tell the physical difference between the two and Monica had no compunctions posing as her sister (and protesting just as loudly her innocence), the schools (three of them), expelled them both. It was back to homeschooling until college.
∴ COLLEGE - Both girls applied (and were accepted to) Wellesley and, for the first time, did their own thing. Monica wanted to study, of all things, sciences, and Jacqueline majored in Art History. For the first time they were truly apart, having pledged different sororities, and Jacqueline became 'Elle' to her sisters. Her mother was appalled.
∴ AFTER SCHOOL - For reasons that Jacqueline doesn't know, Monica left school a semester early. She can guess at the reasons, but she hasn't asked her sister and Monica hasn't offered up any explanation. Therefore, Monica didn't graduate when Jacqueline did and Jacqueline hopes she'll finish at some point.
∴ THE SCANDAL - Her father was accused, then convicted, of insider trading. As part of his sentence, he was required to give $100 million to Harvard, just a drop in the bucket to their fortune. For the first time, all of the things the girls did were scrutinized and it didn't take long before they hated leaving the house - as big as it was. The entire family packed up and moved to Boston. Jacqueline could see her father start to fall apart and her mother began to drink... heavily.
∴ THE CHORE - No longer willing to just give his money away, Mark Ellison rescineded the money he was offering to Harvard and opted to serve a ten year sentence in prison instead. After a month, he changed his mind again, gave the money away, and instead took away his daughter's inheritances. He told them that in order to get their money, they had to EARN it. He went off on a large rant that included slurs on their characters and the character of their mother and then told them that they needed to hold jobs for at least six months - up until their 25th birthdays. If they could, they would receive $30 million. If not, they would get nothing.
Game on.
three fears: That her sister will ruin everything, her own death, that her father will change the rules of the game again
three desires: To not be a part of her family anymore, to run away from everything, her own life
one secret: That she needs to keep her job for six months - until her 25th birthday - to get her $30 million inheritance.
