Ellen (The Witch's House)

Ellen is the witch and one of the main antagonist of The Witch's House. She is the player character in Viola's body. She lives in a house in the forest where she "befriends" Viola. She was dying of an uncurable illness but instead of finding a spell to cure it, she found a body switching spell, making a false promise to Viola to switch for only one day and stayed in her body.

Viola used Ellen's own magic to try to trap her in her own house, which she fails. Ellen was inside Viola's body the entire time during the game.

Appearance
Ellen, shown in her sprite, has long purple hair that falls down her face in long bangs. Due to her lack of appearance in the game, her attire is still unsure of, but many fanart depict her wearing a white blouse with a black ribbon tied at the collar and a large red bow tied at the back of her head. She also wears a red dress over the blouse and her eyes are (guessed) to be yellow or red.

Personality
Ellen is depicted as a cruel character and hated by several of the witch's house fans due to her taking everything Viola had. She even tricked her father to shoot her in her body causing her to die in her body. A selfish witch who would unregrettably cause the death of others to stay alive.

She finds this amusing as by the end of the game shows that she laughs before continuing to follow Viola's father. Another part of the game shows that she inserted a frog that helped the player along the way into a door without being killed causing the frog to probably be eaten.

History
In a diary entry by Ellen, it tells of her parents not loving her. That she was very sick so no one played with her. Ever since then, she has been living inside the house. The demon (the cat) came along and murdered both of her parents and guided her to the forest. It gave Ellen the house. She made a contract with the demon, making her a witch. The demon said, "if you let me eat more people, I'll teach you a spell to cure your illness." A letter shows that Viola's father knows of a witch in the forest, making a possibility that she had already trapped people in the house so many times that it is known even from the outside.

The next diary entry says that her friends came into her house and they were all eaten by the house but it wasn't enough.

One day Viola came into her house, becoming "friends" with her. She felt so sorry for the illness that she had. Ellen then gave a favor saying that they should switch bodies, "Just for a day." Viola was shocked to realize that the body she was in was falling apart so Ellen gave her medicine. A throat burning medicine and lied that it would make her better. It made her unable to speak because Ellen didn't want to hear her own screams. Ellen's body was falling apart because before she came, she cut off her legs and her eyes out because when she was in her body, she would die a painful death.
