Ella

Ella is the female player character in Pokémon Solar Light & Lunar Dark. Her male counterpart is Cole.

As the protagonist
Ella lives in the peaceful town of Soltree Town  with her parents. She and Rodney, her childhood friend and rival, embark on a journey with the help of Pokémon Professor Prof. Pinewood who gives her and Rodney a starter Pokémon (Herovor, Purrlit or Salatad ) and a Pokédex. The Pokémon Professor then asks her if she can send him another Trainer from Mossy Town, named Keira, who forgot to come and get her own starter Pokémon.

As a non-playable character
Ella does not appear as an NPC in the game.

Trivia

 * Unlike most of the female player characters in the main series of games, Ella does not wear any hat on her head, wearing only a white hairbow.
 * Water Type Gym Leader Wade from Waytide City is her brother (or Cole's brother if the player chose the male character). Strangely, this is never adressed from the player character's parents.
