Ella Red

A timid, strange woman disliked by locals, Eleanor Red and her unnamed sister lived on the furthest outskirts of Godgate's early settlement. Ella seemed perpetually pregnant, though the fathers were unknown and the babies seemed to die in infancy. She refused to allow her neighbors to use her well without payment and when the water was stolen, the thieves became seriously ill and Ella was accused of witchcraft. Fights broke out and Ella violently defended herself, which led to a mob forming.

The discovery of bloodstains in her home and baby bones buried in her garden damned her. In the chaos, a fire broke out and burned down her home, killing her and her sister as they hid inside.

Ella and her sister's remains were buried on the spot, along with the infants, in what would come to be known as the Witch Grounds. A lone surviving child was found in the barn, a boy named Red Robin.
