Ella Kraft's Questionnaire

1. What town or city do you live in? Why do you live there instead of anywhere else? Describe your home.

Link Answered before Ella Kraft's first Contract.

I live in New York, the most populated city in America, because I know that at the end of the day, someone in New York is going to want someone else dead.

 

I do have the funds to travel around - my services aren't cheap - but a large chunk of my contracts do end up being finalized in New York or the New England area.

 

My home, at current, is a Penthouse in an apartment building right down the road from the United Nation Headquarters. Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

 

An open-plan apartment with oak floorboards and white furniture for a modern aesthetic and a solarium that looks out to the roads below. I keep it meticulously tidy, however also employ the services of the cleaning staff of the building - Most likely unnecessary but it gives me ease of mind to know that professionals ensure I do not brink my work home.

2. How do you get your money right now? What do you spend it on?

Link Answered before Ella Kraft's first Contract.

I get my money by "retiring unneeded assets" currently. I enjoy the work, but I do not enjoy the clients I work for and am hoping to break away once I have enough power.

I spend my money on my apartment, of course, along with travel and clothing when required for my job. I ensure I keep some physical money in case of emergencies, but aside from that, I like to donate any unwanted money to numerous charities under false names - I don't require the recognition gained using my real name - in fact in some cases that is actively harmful.

I prefer smaller, more local charities, where my money can actively make a difference - places like food banks, womens' shelters, soup kitchens, that provide safety, security, and uplifting for those truly in need that often get overlooked.

3. Describe your Ambition. What are you striving for? How far would you go to achieve this? Would you kill for it? How close to death would you come for it?

Link Answered before Ella Kraft's first Contract.

"Justice" is the word I use to describe my end goals. "Justice" for billionaires, because I know that billionaires hoard all the wealth - fritter it away with unneeded purchases that only serve to make themselves more money or grant them more comfort. Pay charities a small amount now to pay less taxes later. Buy companies that will become profitable. Use me to kill their rivals so they get a larger share and so their stock price climbs while their competitor falls.

 

Ignore those in need to line their own pockets.

 

I hate this state of affairs, and once I gain power, I desire to kill them all, and let the money properly trickle down as it properly should. And if their children, or grand children, or great grand children don't catch on - I'll kill them too. Until none are suffering.

4. What was the most defining event of your life (before signing The Contract), and how did it change you?

Link Answered before Ella Kraft's first Contract.

The most defining moment of my life was the first time my father took me to a gun range. I was 12, angry at the world, and my father, a gun enthusiast, decided to take me to the local gun range to release some of that anger. I fell in love instantly with the feeling of having a gun in my hand and in fact became quite good at shooting rented guns on the range - Handguns at first, then moving onto long guns. On my 21st birthday, I applied for my gun license and my skill with all kinds of guns improved even faster once I recieved it.

5. Name and briefly describe three people in your life. One must be the person you are closest to.

Link Answered before Ella Kraft's first Contract.

As loathe as I am to admit it, one of my closest friends at the moment is a man named Maximillion Sanders, the billionaire owner of a private hospital, for the sole reason that he has hired me for more jobs than any one person. I find it ironic that a man that claims to want to save lives uses me so. He, I'm sure, will be one of the first to go. A slimy and thoroughly disingenuous figure.

 

Secondly, Mars, my cousin. She works as an accountant, and is very boring. Black hair, straighter than mine, thick glasses, and I love her because she gives me a tie to the "Normal" life. She thinks I work in End of Life Preperation. Wills, and the like. Close, Mars, but no cigar.

 

Last and most important of all, my father. A thin and wiry man with a weak chin and balding hair that's surprisingly still black, he has a fierce anger that's quick to erupt in the wrong circumstances. As previously described, by hobbyist, a gun enthusiast - by trade, a blue collar union man.

 

 

6. How was your childhood? Who were your parents? What were they like? Did you attend school? If so, did you fit in? If not, why not?

Link Answered after Contract 1, Exterminator Needed

My school life was abnormal. While children found me odd, too quiet, outputting, my father's friends at the gun range found in me a kindred spirit. I spent most of my time there of course, and while High School was drudgery, my time at the range was happy. Filled with contentment. I learned perhaps slightly too much dark humor, and blue humor, an addition to my already sarcastic jokes.

My mother had always wanted a girly girl that did well at school - which was not me. Our relationship was strained, especially I often found myself getting into trouble for starting fights - for being the weird kid that always sat at the back of class, getting into fights, getting black eyes and a broken bone once or twice. I was average academically too, so I couldn't even rely on my smarts.

My father, though, truly supported me, and we spent many a weekend out hunting. All my fondest memories are with him.

7. Have you ever been in love? With who? What happened? If not, why not?

Link Answered after Contract 1, Exterminator Needed

My line of work is dangerous - for others, of course, but also for me. What were to happen if someone found out my profession? Tattled? I could kill them of course, but it would make my life - and work - incredibly hard if I had the feds coming after me.

So instead, I find my love at a distance.

Through the scope of my Armamentarium.

I have a few roofs I like to visit - so I can see Ashleigh, Lucy, Elizabeth, Kate. I'm careful not to be seen. I can feel the intimacy of their quietest moments, of their happiest, of their saddest. I know they'd hate me if they found out. Thankfully they never will.
