man props for taking on ellen, the witch's house is one of my favourite games of all time
i think for most people, it's best to be up front for this sort of "my character is actually this character in another character's body" situation, rather than springing it on someone unknowingly, but that's where that sort of introspection in your tags comes into play. while it is definitely spoiling the end of the game, again it's an older canon and you can always use cut tags to warn for spoilers. but ellen's far from the only character who's possessing someone else's body out there in dwrp, there's no real policy on it besides being up front about it like any other character's history.
it's probably something you would note in the name section of the app, like "name: ellen (but will be refering to herself as viola)" and then explaining that in the history/personality section. and this is just me, but if i were to play ellen, i would still refer to her as ellen in prose but have her introduce herself as viola to strangers and answer to that name icly. that way the other characters know her icly as viola, and the other player's know her oocly as ellen.
