As a Baby the Princess did not like elderly women including her own grandmother Princess Charles of Hesse - I don't think that she had it lateron though =)

She ate very little and in the years following her husband's assassination refused to have any meat. I read that her favourite dish were baked onions.

I don't know about her height. Empress Alexandra, her sister, was 1.72m and I think Elisaweta was slightly smaller. Her niece said her eyes had layers of blue/grey and one (judging by the Kaulbach portrait with the veil it was the left eye) had a little spot of brown.
I have seen two curls of her hair when 11 years old. Its light-brown with a (very very slight) touch of red.
She liked painting and seems to have been quite gifted - like her mother and elder sister Victoria who were both excellent painters.

I've also read that. When her paternal grandmother wanted to hold her, Ella (a baby at the time) showed a somewhat rebellious reaction, but apparently she appeared very calm and happy when her other grandmother Queen Victoria held her.
Her hair may have been auburn, or lighter, like a brownish-reddish colour. I've read that her hair was a little bit darker than Alix's.
I also don't know about the exact height, but from photographs I've seen, Ella looks a little bit taller than Alix, in my opinion, though I could be wrong.
Ella liked to take care of herself - She had a lotion of cucumber juice and sour cream for her face and she always protected herself from the sun. I think she had designed a lot of her own clothes, including the one she wore as a nun. Clearly she enjoyed fashion and she also liked to paint, and design a lot, such as when Nikolai and Alix were first married Ella decided to arrange their rooms at Tsarskoe Selo.

You can read the biographies of Ella at the main AP page to find out more. =]

It was deemed as her last indulgence in finery.

Does anyone now how short her hair was? It's a pretty random question, but I'm just curious.

Back to the original way it use to be done. She did revived some old orthodox practicies that have not been performed for a long time.

Like cutting your hair so short it's only a couple inches long? Do you think that there are any pictures taken of her without her veil, taken by perhaps OTMAA?
