Ella, Frell ülkesinde varlıklı bir ailenin çocuğu olarak dünyaya geldi. Tüm yeni doğan bebeklerin yaptığı gibi, Lucinda perisinden özel bir hediye aldı: itaat hediyesi. Ne olursa olsun, Ella kendisine verilen her emre itaat etmeliydi ve hediyesini kimseye söylememeliydi. Ella yaşlandıkça, bunun pek de amaçlanan bir hediye olmadığını fark eder: Bu bir lanetti.

SELFLESSNESS
Say you'll marry me, Ella.
POWER
My dear, I hate to cause you grief, but you must end your friendship with her.
I choose my own friends.
Ella’s selflessness is evident throughout the story. Perhaps her greatest act of selflessness is when she refuses Char’s marriage proposal in order to keep him safe, even though she loves him and wants to be his wife.
No! No, I won't marry you! No one can force me!
Although Ella is born into wealth and privilege, her gift of obedience causes her to lose control of her own actions. She does not have the power to make her own choices. Hattie abuses her power by tormenting and tricking Ella into doing things she doesn’t want to do.
