All About Ellie, the Kidnap Victim from Captor Captive
Hi Everyone! Readers often love to know more about the characters they read about, I know I do, so I thought that I would start with the star of Captor Captive, Ellie, the kidnap victim who we follow right through to the end. We have been at her side throughout her ordeal, so here’s a little more about her…
Full Name: Eleanor May Cunningham
Nickname: Ellie
Age: 18
Place of Birth: Salisbury, England, UK
Father: Rob Cunningham. He divorced Ellie’s mother years ago, and he is now living abroad with his new wife, Maria.
Mother: Emma Masterson (deceased). Emma married Ellie’s stepfather in the year following her divorce.
Stepfather: Doug Masterson, an entrepreneur and business tycoon. Doug has tried to help Ellie trace her father, Rob, to no avail. Doug treats Ellie like his own daughter, Charlotte.
Siblings: Ellie has an older stepsister, Charlotte Masterson, who has a young child, James, and a baby called Sebastian (known as Seb).
Appearance: Ellie has bright blue eyes, and pale blonde hair. She loves to maintain her tan, and enjoys having regular pamper sessions at her local beauty salon. Ellie’s quite particular about her appearance, and loves buying new clothes, and following the latest fashions.
Education: Ellie was studying journalism and media at college, and is now considering taking a gap year before starting university.
Work: Ellie works part time as a waitress in a quaint riverside café, and also helps out in a second-hand bookshop in town. She is still undecided about her career path, but feels that she has plenty of time to make up her mind.
Hobbies and Interests: Ellie loves reading thrillers and chick lit. She sings with a local band at weekends (much to her stepfather’s annoyance), plays tennis, and enjoys pony-trekking, and horse-riding with friends.
Friends: Ellie is part of a large group of college and university students who meet up in Ellie’s favourite coffee shop. Her best friend is Kirsty, who robbed Ellie of her boyfriend during their first year of college, and only redeemed herself this year. Kirsty is on borrowed time…
Romances: Ellie has been romantically involved with students of her own age, plus others that she doesn’t want to mention. Ellie is reluctant to share this information with anyone (if you’ve read Captor Captive you’ll know why!)
Worst Fears: Ellie is terrified of hypodermic needles. Just seeing one freaks her out. Going abroad is a nightmare for Ellie when there’s an inoculation involved.
Pets: Ellie owns a huge ginger cat called Jackson.
I hope you’ve enjoyed learning a little more about Ellie’s background. Is there’s anything else you’d love to know about Ellie? Which part of the book did you like the best? Which character was your favourite? Maybe you’d like to ask about the writing process! Leave me a comment and I’ll check back here soon.
All the best,
