Editing Ellie Thorburn (section)

==Personality==
Blake notes that she's a career criminal who never worked a day in her life, with zero impulse control. She hates everyone, especially those who give any clue they’re smarter or better than her, because she interprets anything as an attack. Rose adds that she's not dumb, as her way of living requires cunning, but she would need little to no reason to use [[Demons]] to attack someone.<ref>“Ellie,” Rose said.

“Career criminal, and not in an impressive way.  Never worked a day 
in her life, she was staking everything on getting the house, I figure, 
because it was the only way she’d be able to get by.  Zero impulse 
control, hates everyone, <em>especially</em> those who give any clue 
they’re smarter or better than her, which winds up being pretty much 
everyone,” I said.  “Not because she’s dumb, but because she interprets<em> anything</em> as an attack.”

“She’s not dumb,” Rose said.  “I remember her getting up to an awful 
lot.  Surviving on schemes, jobs.  There’s a certain cunning that comes 
with living the life she’s lived.”

“Right,” I said.  “But I don’t know if she’d need a <em>good</em> excuse to send demons after people.  She’d need <em>any</em> excuse, even one she made up.”
“She’d be one of the scary kinds of diabolists you hear about,” Rose said. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/02/18/breach-3-2/ excerpt] from [[Breach 3.2]]</ref> Paige notes she spoiled in a manner different than her step-sister, [[Roxanne Thorburn]].

Ellie is easily the most distrusted member of the family, as seen when Rose states someone tipped her off to their plan and the fact that Peter openly states they thought Ivy had a better chance of getting the house, and was the least skilled in the finesse side of manipulation, preferring direct means. Her mother taught her how to be skilled enough at manipulating people to keep her criminal record down, but she lets her brother Peter do the thinking whenever they plan something.

She test limits, try to claim what she thinks she deserve, until it all goes wrong, and then she runs. She is, however, closer to her brother and will protect him in her own way. He also claims that she handles failure by retreating.
