Ellemeow

An ‘Ellemeow’ is the type of person (usually female) to want to smash only one person in their sight, while making them their top priority over everybody else. That person that they adore can do anything and the ‘Ellemeow’ will not mind at all.

They also spend as much time as they can with the person that they adore, and whenever they aren’t watching Anime, it’ll be with them. They barely sleep, explaining their massive eye bags, pale face and short height because of this.

‘Ellemeow’s’ tend to get in petty arguments with people who are very very close to them! Even a best friend can be pushed away into hatred from an ‘Ellemeow’.

In my advice, befriend an ‘Ellemeow’ because they are great at talking to people, however, I can’t guarantee you won’t fall out with them atleast once, and you better pray you aren’t the person they adore!
Oh yeah, you know her? She’s such an Ellemeow.

I know right! All she thinks about is banging that Sumi guy!

Eyler

At times Eyler's can have an attitude but insure only for a good reason. He will stay by your side when you are feeling down and will make you feel like the warmest person in the world. Not to mention Eyler's are very warm people tho sometimes they can switch moods very quickly so also be careful with an Eyler. If you are on his good side no need to worry, he is a very kind person that usually gives more than one chance.
