Born the eldest child of Jacob and Anne MacKenzie, Ellen grew up in the Scottish Highlands at Castle Leoch. She was a favorite of her father's, who wouldn't force her into a marriage she herself wouldn't accept, and so she remained unmarried well past the time when a young woman in her position might ordinarily have been settled with a husband. After her father's death, however, her brothers [[Colum MacKenzie|Colum]] and [[Dougal MacKenzie|Dougal]] intended to arrange their sister's marriage to Malcolm Grant in order to ease relations with Clan Grant, but Ellen defied them rather dramatically by saying something to Malcolm Grant that so offended him, he left Leoch without a word to his hosts, and Ellen ran away and eloped with [[Brian Fraser]].

Personal History

Born the eldest child of Jacob and Anne MacKenzie, Ellen grew up in the Scottish Highlands at Castle Leoch. She was a favorite of her father's, who wouldn't force her into a marriage she herself wouldn't accept, and so she remained unmarried well past the time when a young woman in her position might ordinarily have been settled with a husband. After her father's death, however, her brothers Colum and Dougal intended to arrange their sister's marriage to Malcolm Grant in order to ease relations with Clan Grant, but Ellen defied them rather dramatically by saying something to Malcolm Grant that so offended him, he left Leoch without a word to his hosts, and Ellen ran away and eloped with Brian Fraser.

In order to secure their union, the couple stayed hidden until Ellen was well with child by Brian, and they married in the dooryard of their new home at Lallybroch a week before their first son, William, was born.

Personality

Physical Appearance

Those that knew her describe Ellen as tall and red-haired, like her son Jamie, and very fair-skinned. Her eyes were gray, like her brother Colum's, and fringed with black lashes. Her self-portrait bears a strong resemblance to her granddaughter, Brianna, though differences show in Ellen's high, narrow forehead and round chin.
