[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] Nowley - known by her stage name E.K. Nowley - (25) is one of Chika’s co-stars for Bleak Point, who - like her - has starred in numerous episodes of the anthology horror series, playing a variety of characters. At just 8-years-old, [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] began experiencing alopecia which led to her decision to shave her head, something that would become a staple as her identity as an actress once she entered the field, even though she’s worn wigs on numerous occasions in Bleak Point to provide more visual variety for her characters.
Due to the insecurity and bullying she experienced, [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] is heavily involved in charitable foundations focused on young people experiencing hair loss in any manner, and is close friends with [name_f]Chika[/name_f] now they’ve starred together throughout the series. She actually first knew Chika’s fiance due to the pair having attended the same performing arts college, albeit they were on different courses, and the couple’s decision to adopt [name_u]Rocky[/name_u] led to [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] taking in a rescue dog of her own: her beloved Siberian Husky named [name_f]Hera[/name_f].
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] belongs to the LGTBQIAP+ community, being bisexual, although she’s currently refrained from dating as she feels her career places too many demands on her time that would lead any partner to feel neglected in the long-term. Her decision to become an actress was influenced by starring in her school production of [name_m]Little[/name_m] [name_u]Red[/name_u] Riding Hood - where she wasn’t cast as one of the leads, but enjoyed being an ensemble member so much, she knew it was what she wanted to pursue in the future. Her mother - a single parent as Eleni’s dad was out of the picture before she was even born - is the person she always credits her tenacity, resilience and determination to, regularly taking trips with her so they can enjoy some down time and laugh as they did throughout Eleni’s childhood, only now Hera’s with them.
