(grace elizabeth, cis female) - have you seen elizabeth aldenkamp? ellie is in her sophomore year. the theatre major is 20 years old & is a capricorn. people say she is lively, kind, opinionated and idealistic. rumors say they’re a member of calloway society. i heard from the gossip blog that she killed her stalker in high school. (tessa. 23. pst. she/her.)

hi, babes! i’m tessa and i’ve been roleplaying on tumblr dot com for way too long (you couldn’t pull me away if you tried). in short, i love cinema, anakin skywalker, watching tik toks for far too long, and plotting angst, drama, heartbreak, complicated relationships fun! that being said, elizabeth’s bio is below! always feel free to message me on here or discord (stella artois#1745) if you’d like to plot and/or figure out connections! also feel free to ask for a TLDR; bc my bios always end up *much* longer than i want them to be. that being said...

name: elizabeth annabeth aldenkamp nicknames: ellie, ella, elsie age, birth date: 20; december 31, 1999 hometowns: new york city, new york & portsmouth, new hampshire major, university: theatre, yates university sexuality: bisexual

childhood

elizabeth aldenkamp was born late one new year’s eve in new york city. she was the much anticipated daughter of silas—the latest in a long line of prominent new york city architects—and arabella—one of the city’s most successful real estate agents. the aldenkamp’s fingerprints were all over their beloved city. if they didn’t design a notable building, they’d sold it to the 1%. ellie’s parents adored the city and it was their dream to bring a child into that world.

yes, the world of museum openings, private events at the NYCB, and top tier private schools; but also the world of musicians playing at bethesda terrace, the rowboats at the loeb, and beautiful bookstores tucked into the streets around the flatiron building (cough, rizzoli). the little things, often glanced over by the wealthy and common alike.

though both parents were constantly busy with their careers (to the point of hiring a lovely extra set of hands by the name of allie), they prioritized quality time as a family.

they encouraged ellie as she developed a young passion for performing, taking her to see broadway and off-broadway shows whenever possible.

TW: DEATH — it was all quite lovely until, at the age of thirteen, both of the girl’s parents passed in a car accident on the way home from a dinner meeting. the last memory ellie has of them is her father ruffling her hair and mother bending down to press a kiss to her forehead before heading out the door and saying they’d see her and allie later.

new hampshire

ellie’s entire world collapsed. the next few months were a blur of little black funeral dresses and packing things into suitcases, with her ultimately moving in with her aunt and uncle in new hampshire.

the next several years were spent living with them and her four (!!) male cousins—now, affectionately, “brothers”—in their multi-million dollar waterfront house.

without much of a choice, ellie traded walks in central park for sailing. private schools in the city for phillips exeter academy.

not that she could complain—though she greatly missed her parents and friends she left behind in new york. so when she entered high school at the academy she did all she could to fill the void in her chest.

ellie was great at making friends and getting involved. like her family, she didn’t flash her wealth (there’d be little point, anyway, since everyone she encountered came from money) and relied heavily on cultivating a positive personality in order the move forward.

she maintained her love of acting and, by the time she’d graduated high school, had performed in too many productions to count.

her secret

TW: DROWNING. the last semester of senior year, ellie discovered she had a stalker from school. at first he was subtle, but “chance” encounters turned into eerie texts with photos of her that were taken unknowingly. corning her in the hallway. letters he somehow managed to get into her room. at one point he even showed up at her house—ellie walking in on him sitting at the dining table with her uncle, claiming to be her boyfriend.

it all culminated the night of their graduation. late into the night after the party her aunt and uncle allowed her to throw, ellie decided to take the boat out onto the water alone. call it premature nostalgia, but she would be moving to vermont soon for college. after summer, she didn’t know the next time she’d be able to do this.

once she’d gotten out onto the water and stopped the motor, he stepped out of the lower compartment.

(rightfully) shocked and afraid, ellie immediately went into defense mode. in short: he insistingly approached her, she dodged, he fell overboard into the water, and she sped off.

two days later his body was found, washed up. she never told anyone of her involvement (save for one felix lesser she called in an absolute panic).

not soon enough, she packed up her things and went to yates. many expected her to go to juilliard or tisch, but she chose yates—her father, mother, and uncle’s alma mater.

personality + facts

+ soft as fuck, lively, kind, easygoing, honest

- opinionated, a bit stubborn, positive to a fault

tik toks for the vibe!! one, two, three

you’d probably expect her to be pretty aloof, but she really isn’t

outgoing, outdoorsy, and adventurous thanks to living with her rowdy cousins

idealizes just about everything, including people

loves love. wants a relationship like her parents had. crushes aren’t hard to come by, because she wants to see the good in everyone and genuinely loves people

would probably marry you if you asked, idk

sarcastic banter with someone she knows truly cares about her that’s only reinforced by the joking around? her type of friendship.

has a lot of inner turmoil and buried emotions, but why be transparent about that when you can act like everything’s okay?

wants to pursue a stage career back in new york, if not a film career elsewhere

connection ideas

honestly, i’m down to plot just about anything. i live for the angst. that being said, here are some ideas if you can’t think of something!

childhood friends; since quite a few muses grew up in new york, it’s not a stretch to say these two probably ran in the same circles. perhaps they went to school together or their parents were friends. regardless, they were close until elizabeth moved away.

did they maintain a strong bond and keep in touch? write each other letters and take weekend trips to each other’s cities?

did they lose contact? did communication die out when one or both of them entered high school? does one of them feel ghosted? so many possibilities!!

did one of them have a crush on the other and now they’re reconnecting as young adults??

romantic exes; maybe they weren’t feeling the relationship as much as she was?

ex friends!!

mutual confidants; one of the only people, if not the only person, she lets see her ugly emotions. or maybe they confide in her, but she finds in hard to open up in return and ???? it’s a whole thing ???? like “take off the mask when you’re talking to me” ???? wow

you probably know all the typical rest. but, really, if you have any ideas and want to toss them at each other, let me know! let’s go freaking wild -shrug-

Say hello to Damian Bligh!

Say hello to Damian Bligh, Sales Manager at Move Revolution.

Damian has been part of the Move Revolution team for the past four years at our head office (covering Reigate to Oxted, Warlingham to Horley) – if you have moved in this area you will definitely have spoken to, or met Damian! We write these blogs so that you can get to know more about our team; who they are, how they work and what they love. When starting to right this blog it is so easy to say Damian is ‘unbelievable lovely’, ‘a really kind and thoughtful person’ combined with being ‘incredibly diligent and an expert in this area’. However, this really doesn’t cut through how much Damian really cares about his work – and also what a great laugh he is as part of the head office team.

Don’t just take it from us… these are a few phrases written by our clients in their independent reviews about Damian, so you can get a clearer, unbiased picture!

“Damian is tenacious, incredibly knowledgeable and reliable. He went that extra mile. His advice was sound, well researched and delivered the results”

“Damian is truly exceptional at what he does”

“Damian is incredibly helpful”

“Damian is extremely pro-active and helpful”

“Damian is professional, personable, knowledgeable, honest, has integrity, non-pushy, yes I am describing an estate agent…. Damian’s a rare breed”

“Damian is polite, professional and prompt.”

“Damian is friendly, empathetic and understanding”

Have you fallen in love with Damian? (If we could insert an emoji into the blog it would be the one with the wink!) We should point out Damian is very happily married, for those of you who love these qualities in a man (!!)…. However, if you are thinking of moving, then just give our head office a call on 01737 888220.

Joking aside (as this blog was being written, the above paragraph was read out loud in the office, Damian laughed, saying that his wife would find this very funny!) Damian is a true professional and a joy to work with; alongside the whole Head office team, headed up by Louise Simpson, they are truly brilliant at what they do. If you are thinking of moving in the Reigate, Redhill, Caterham, Warlingham, Oxted, Horley area you would be sincerely missing out if you didn’t give the team a call – with their expert knowledge, the right price and all the qualities listed above you will be moving into your next home very quickly! (Call 01737 888220 and book a valuation today!)

Part of getting to know our team is learning a bit about what they love getting up to when they are not at work, as well as finding out what they love at work!

How did you end up living in Oxted and working at Move Revolution?

We decided to move to Oxted, due to a number of factors. We were living in West London and both worked up in town, so it was important to live in a location that provided good links to London Bridge and Victoria. We had friends that lived in Westerham and came across Oxted from visiting them and liked that it had a Waitrose, numerous restaurants and boutique shops. In the 5 years we have been in Oxted, there have been a number of changes, like the Everyman cinema changing from one screen to three, plus creating a new much needed bar for the town centre. A couple of nice new restaurants and pubs opening are always welcome. And the Beer festival is getting bigger and better every year!

I had been working in the City as an equity derivatives broker, and was looking for a change in direction (without a commute!) I had previously been involved in outbound sales and recruitment which have similar transferable skills, with a passion for property this led me to estate agency, and in particular Move Revolution, with it’s clear focus on expertise, integrity and professionalism.

What are the three most favourite houses you have ever sold?

Tandridge Priory – This has to be top of the list! Tandridge Priory is a beautiful historic building set in 24 acres of land and in my hometown of Oxted. The potential for this property is very exciting and I can see the new owners creating a stunning home.

Clavadel – This is an Arts & Crafts property (‘think’ parquet flooring, bay windows with intricate design, inspired by the ideas of architect Augustus Pugin, write John Ruskin and designer William Morris) Clavadel is a stunning family home.

Hartswood Manor – Wing of an Elizabethan Manor House in Reigate with wood panelling throughout and one of the oldest staircases in the county – I love the traditional features and uniqueness of this home.

What do you love doing (when you’ve not at work)?

I love being with Bumble! (Those of you who know me will know I have a one-year-old gorgeous little girl called Bea, hence the name nickname Bumble) Bumble, as you can imagine, takes up most of my time outside of work – we love going out to the park as a family – I especially love seeing Bumble laugh when she is being pushed on the swing!

My other ‘love’ couldn’t be more different than being the Dad of a one-year-old girl. I really enjoy mixing house and techno, I’m a secret DJ who loves music and, I know you will laugh, this helps me feel younger and cooler than I am!! (Especially when I have only had a few hours sleep with a little one in the house!) If you love this type of music make sure you chat to me about this when we meet up!

How do you relax?

The addition of the Everyman cinema in Oxted has been fantastic. My wife, Claire, and I, love going to the cinema. It is a short stroll from our home in Oxted, which makes it really easy for a night out. Our favourite restaurant has to be the Thai Pad… add this to a brilliant film at Everyman, and that is the perfect way to relax at the end of a busy week.

What is your favourite day out?

I’ve realised that both my perfect days out involve alcohol! My perfect day out would either be Oxted Beer Festival – which has grown and grown over the past few years, a fantastic local event, everyone has such a great time, brilliant beer (obviously), great food and music. My real favourite though, would be to head up to West London where we used to live for a long boozy lunch at the great restaurants and bars around Portobello Road! (We can hop on the train in Oxted and be up in town 30 minutes later!)

What is your favourite walk?

Given its Autumn time, it would have to be Sheffield Park and Gardens – an amazing National Trust garden. At this time of year the trees look amazing – I can highly recommend a visit with family and friends.

What are your favourite apps?(Damian is known as being gadget and app crazy, we couldn’t resist asking him for his recommendations!)

MoneyBox – A financial app that rounds up your everyday purchases like buying a coffee at £2.50, then rounds up to £3 and takes the extra 50p and invests it in to an ISA.

Curve Card – A single debit card that you can load every debit and credit card that you have, and then select which one to use via the app. Great to save space in your wallet!

Dark Sky – Coming in to the winter months this is a brilliant weather app, as it will send you a notification when it is about to rain and then stop again. Gets it spot on every time!

Stocard – Lets you store every loyalty card you have and allows you to scan the barcodes at the till via the app.

What advice would you give anyone thinking of selling their home?

Now is a great time to sell, as there are a lot of buyers out there looking for properties, but not enough stock to facilitate their needs. Using the correct strategy in a more challenging market such as this, is key, and we have successfully advised our clients what approach would work best in order to find them the right buyer and best price. I think this recent review sums up exactly how we work (big thank you to our client Bethan for this amazing review)

“We got 4 different companies to come give a valuation and Damian provided the most detailed comparison work, plus the most informed advice on the current local sales situation. Communication was excellent. Our house sold in a matter of days, and we laughed, as the ‘for sale’ board wasn’t even up. Compared to the agents we have used when viewing properties to buy, Move Revolution is in a different league, it’s slick. I’ve been verbally recommending them to anyone who will listen” Bethan F, Reigate

If you are thinking of selling your home please give us call on 0330 223 1000, as you have read we are 100% focused on selling your house for the best possible price, and moving you as quickly as possible into your dream home. Book a valuation today!
