SUMMARY |

❝I thought one performance would change everything—what an idiot I am. Maybe I should stop writing songs and start writing fiction.❞

Music meant a lot to the McCoy family, especially to the patriarch and his daughters. It was the only thing they bonded over, to the point where it was what broke them all apart. While their father wanted them to become like the jazz legends he had named them after, Ella and Josie McCoy decided to do their own thing with music.

While the youngest McCoy twin made her own pop band with two of her best friends, Ella McCoy wanted to be solo. Of course, that wasn't as easy. Just like Beyoncé, she had to start in a group, so she created a trio, Big Fun*.

Just as known as Josie and the Pussycats, Big Fun* performs everywhere they do. Which is when Archie Andrews decides to ask the eldest McCoy to help him with his music. Unlike her sister, Ella thrives in the attention, so she'll help him, only if he puts her in as a writer.

OTHER |

• Ella McCoy is Jodie's fraternal twin sister, only a few minutes older. As children, she got along with Josie to the point where they were inseparable. As they grew, as they found their own tune with music, they became strangers.
• She was named after the great Ella Fitzgerald.
• Unlike her sister, she continued to sing jazz with her father until freshman year of high school. It was there that she decided to break free to write her own songs and perform them with her two best friends, Cassandra Crane (played by Jude Demorest) and Rachel Rivera (played by Brittany O'Grady).
• Her dad praises her more than he praises Josie, which is how their sibling rivalry began. Their father put them against each other, making comments about "this sister doing a better job in this song" or "this sister having a perfect pitch for that song."
• Ella is ten minutes older than Josie.
• Ella is mostly into RnB music, but will song any music if she feels like the music is good.
• She writes original songs (the STAR soundtrack honestly helps so much with this).
• She and Archie* are a slowburn. He likes her quick bc of the way she is with music, the way she suffers with it, and she begins to like him because of the same reason. They share their love for music, and the way their parents are still married but separated.
• She gets along with her father more than Josie does. Their mother criticises her more than she does Josie, claiming that she is giving them the same bad name townsfolk called them when she had just been nominated mayor of Riverdale.
