Ella (Anime)

Ella (エラ Era) is Hugo's assistant chef, hired by Benno, to train with Hugo in the cathedral for his Italian restaurant.

She is an ambitious chef and likes to polish and improve her cooking skills.

Ella met Benno in the Eatery Guild where Ella was running an errand for her uncle. She overheard Benno's conversation stating that he is looking for an assistant chef for Hugo. Thinking about the upside and downside of working in the cathedral she thought that it wouldn't be too different from working at her uncle's nighttime bar. Her position there was of an apprentice chef, but when she comes of age, she would have to work there as a waitress like her cousin Lea. Disliking the idea of working in the family business, she steeled her resolve and offered to become Hugo's assistant. As her goal was to become a noble's chef like Liese she showed great determination and persuaded Benno. Her uncle protested, but her mother supported her, who herself was forced to work as a waitress after her husband, Ella's father, died. Having her mother's support, she was able to sign a contract with the Gilberta Company at the Eatery Guild, where she met Hugo for the first time.

Ella became Myne's chef during her blue apprentice shrine maiden era. She believed that Myne is a rich noble girl. Therefore, she wasn't surprised that Fran taught her alongside Hugo how to prepare Myne's recipes without speaking directly to Myne.
