Ellison Family

The original inhabitants of the area around Mount Greylock were the Mohican people, an Algonquian-speaking tribe active in parts of New York, Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Members of the Mohican tribe fought in the Stockbridge Militia, the first group of Native Americans to align with American revolutionary forces, and they defended the nearby town of Stockbridge from insurgents during Shays’ Rebellion on August 29, 1786. After the war, however, the Mohicans were pushed off their land in Massachusetts and eventually forced to resettle in Wisconsin with members of Lenape tribes. Not all families were taken. A few families that lived way back in the valley far from the others were forgotten about. Their descendants still live here today. Over time other descendants found their way back here. The village of Agawam was started by these ancestors, and it still thrives today with its descendants and other families that have joined them. The Ellison family was part of those original inhabitants. Descending from the very first Indians in these parts. Stories passed down from one generation to another. Wards had been put up as our ancestors were witches and wizards. Concealment charms were put on the village to keep outsiders out and away from them. Remnants of that old magic are still in the charms put on by each generation to fortify it. The traditions of braves or Warriors of the tribes still roam the area known as Warriors of the Mountain. They guard over their territory keeping it safe. Their territory includes Mount Greylock, the village of Agawam and the town of Greylock with everything in between. The Ellison family since the beginning have been Warriors of the Mountain. Sure a few have ventured out and tried other things, but somehow they always find their way back home. For most of history, the tract of land now called Iran was known as Persia. It wasn't until 1935 that it adopted its present name. Early Persia was a formidable empire, whose vast plateau rimmed by mountain ranges, was variously invaded by Arabs, Turks and Mongols. The discovery of oil in the early 20th century generated international interest in the nation, particularly Great Britain and Russia. A 1907 Anglo-Russian agreement divvied up Iran into spheres of influence, though it was later annulled after the First World War. The United States became increasingly interested in Iran following the Second World War, particularly its oil reserves. In 1953, the U.S. and Britain helped orchestrate a coup d'etat to oust Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddeq, bringing the pro-Western monarch, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, back to power. In the years that followed, Iran forged closer ties with Washington, receiving large amounts of military and economic aid from America until the late 1960s. Iran began ramping up its defense budget, and with the help of American and British defense programs, it became one of the region's strongest military powers. Iranian revolution The country also saw increased Westernization, much to the dismay of the clergy who denounced the pro-Western policies and secularization. Rising discord with the hereditary monarch, known as the shah, marked the early 1960s.During the 1970s, Shah Reza Pahlavi faced growing opposition led by exiled spiritual leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. After years of tenuously holding onto power with the backing of the U.S., Pahlavi was ousted during the 1979 Islamic revolution and Khomeini came to power after returning from years in exile in France. With that, the pro-West regime of the shah gave way to an official anti-American stance that was openly encouraged by the mullahs and Iran became an Islamic republic. Under a new constitution, a popularly elected president served as head of government but the highest state authority became the Supreme Leader, a powerful post filled by a cleric and empowered to name leaders of the armed forces, the chief judge and other high ranking officials. Shah Reza Pahlavi had five children. He took his family into hiding and took the last name of Mirza (/ˈmɜːrzə/ or /mɪərˈzɑː/; Persian: میرزا) is a name of Persian origin. It is used as a surname or prefix to identify patriarchal lineage. It is a historical royal and noble title, denoting the rank of a royal prince, high nobleman, distinguished military commander, or a scholar. Probably not the best of a new surname considering he was in hiding. Reza Pahlavi II is the oldest son of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran, and his wife Farah Diba. Before the Islamic Revolution in 1979, he was the crown prince and the last heir apparent to the throne of the Imperial State of Iran. He married a woman by the name of Yasmin. Five daughters and two sons were born to Shah, and all named after Persian gods and goddesses. His eldest was two years old at the time of his father’s ousting from power. All of them grew into adulthood attending Uagadou School of Magic. Uagadou was founded at least a thousand years before the lifetime of Harry Potter, making it roughly the same age as Hogwarts (perhaps even older). Although a number of smaller wizarding schools could be found throughout Africa, only Uagadou stood the test of time and achieved an enviable international reputation. It is the largest wizarding school in the world. The location of the school is unknown. Visitors to the school spoke of a stunning edifice carved out of the mountainside and shrouded in mist, so that it sometimes appeared simply to float in mid-air. During his eldest daughters last year at Uagadou the school tried an exchange program with other wizarding schools which was to be for three months and they would be back. The three eldest, Anahita, Ameretat and Ahurani were chosen out of those that applied to go to the American school Ilvermorny. He had his reservations, but let them go, never dreaming that they would find their soulmates while they were there. While attending Ilvermorny those three months the girls met the Ellison brothers Chandler, Charleston, and Cannon. The three boys who had come into their Manitou powers knew instantly at first sight these were their soulmates. Maybe it wasn't a coincidence that brought the three princesses to America. Maybe it was fate. The three princesses fell in love with the three warriors. All three who had planned to become Warriors of the Mountain as their ancestors before them, including their own father, joined their fated mates in Africa where they lived after graduating from Ilvermorny.

Uagadou School of Magic is the school that all of the Mirza children have gone to, and where some are still attending. It is the largest wizarding school in the world. The pronunciation for it is [Wag-a-doo]. Students receive notice that they have gained entrance at Uagadou from Dream Messengers, sent by the headmaster or headmistress of the day. The Dream Messenger will appear to the children as they sleep and will leave a token, usually an inscribed stone, which is found in the child’s hand on waking. No other school employs this method of pupil selection. Ancestors The Ellison family descends from the original inhabitants of Agawam. The Mirza family were once Princes and Princesses of Persia. Warriors of The Mountain are what some of the Ellison Descendants are. Not all of them though. A few have struck out on their own never to return. Ellison Estate is the home of the Ellison family. It was built by the Ellison family a few hundred years ago. A few Ellison families live there, and others stay there when they visit. The Gathering Place is a central location where families of Agawam gather as their ancestors did for town celebrations, to birthdays to anything and everything. Kids gather there to play and are protected by the magical barriers from the Outside world. Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is where the families attended school from the time they were 11 till they graduated their 7th Year at the age of 17. Agawam, Massachusetts was settled by Native Americans. Primarily the Mohicans which migrated here when their territories were taken over. Hidden by Magic, and nestled way back in the Valley, between the mountains were magical Native Americans that built the beautiful town of Agawam. Mount Greylock is home to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Down below the Mountain you will find Agawam and Greylock Grove. The nearest somewhat large town, Greylock Grove, is but a few miles from Agawam, and where you can find Crescent Alley and Full Moon Alley. There is also a Magical College called Aupaumet and Pucakan Health Center for the Magical community.

Alexandria Elizabeth Ellison Age: 17 || Species: Manitou || Job: 7th Year Student || Face Claim: Alexandria Basso SacredFire200 I'm shy but easygoing, and I love to play sports like horseback riding. I'm also family-oriented. Since I am the older sister, I tend to look after my younger siblings. While I have an interest in quidditch. However, I am not able to play it competitively. So I watched it from the sidelines. I cheer on my cousins when they play. I love to have fun, have a challenge, and go on adventures while doing those things. I like to hike near our home and the oases. I have a big fear of things you would expect in the desert, such as snakes and scorpions. I tend to think I've been a bit independent since a young age and have had a streak like that. I look after my siblings when my parents aren't home and act like a big sister should. I love my siblings and try to protect them when I can. On the other side, I tend to be stubborn and clever. Able to come up with plans easily. I also tend to get into some mischief when I can find it. Sometimes mischief finds you, and you can't help it. I am getting better at speaking my mind and trying not to be blunt. While I tend to think this way, if you double-cross me or my family, I will not let you look back and will never forgive you. While I try not to think of myself as vengeful, I am very protective of my family. My family will always come first. I tend to think of the Kalahari desert and Uagadou school as my home, and it will always be that way.

She wants the best for those that she loves and she'll fight like hell to make sure those around her are happy, even if it means that she has to sacrifice her own happiness for the time being. She knows her time will come. She works hard and absolutely wouldn't have it any other way. She's not afraid to stand up for what she believes is right either. She does try to stop and smell the roses as often as she can though. She does appreciate a lot of the smaller things in life, such as seeing someone's face light up when something goes right for them or hearing a bird singing. Although she loves her job, she is hoping that the promotion she is receiving is even better. She wants to make a difference with what she does, and she truly believes this move will help her do that.

If she sees someone in need of help, she will happily jump up to help them as well. However, because she is quiet, that doesn't mean she's shy. She loves to have a little fun here and there when she is not working. She also enjoys learning new things about Herbology and is very skilled in it, which is why she accepted the position for the Herbology professor. She can also jump to conclusions and speak up before she knows all the facts, and her mouth has gotten her into trouble during her years at school because of that.
