OUTDATED - DO NOT REFERENCE OR USE
I plan on expanding more into the Dinosaur Daycare Brittany goes to, so here's one of the many kids who are part of her class, Ellie! A very smart Amargasaurus, who sadly suffers from many allergies, which has lead her to being quite the worrying one.
For her design, I went with a style similar to Ark's version, where it's a mix of spikes and a very short sail near the base. Oh and just for fun, I gave her some giraffe-like spots on her body.
:Personality:
One of the tallest and most intelligent kids at the Daycare, Ellie the Amargasaurus spends plenty of time learning her ABCs and 123s better than any other kid there, although she can be quite the worrywart. Ellie is incredibly shy and is often easily scared of anything and everything! If there's a phobia out there, she probably has it! Even something like baby ducklings following her can cause Ellie to run away terrified!
Ellie is also highly germophobic, and gets very uneasy at the idea of dirtying any part of herself, things like finger painting, and playing with modelling clay is a big no for her, even something as simple as a handshake can cause her to run straight for the sinks to begin excessively washing her hands. This isn't unfounded however, as she is known to be highly allergic to many things, even dust.
Despite nearly being five years old, Ellie is still being Potty Trained, while she's grown out of her diapers and has graduated into training pants, though she still frequently wets herself, possibly due to a weak bladder and the fact that she gets scared incredibly easily, which has sadly lead to a lot of accidents, which does not bode well at all with her germophobic tendencies requesting to be changed as soon as possible if she's even slightly wet. It's even worse on the very rare conditions where she messes herself, as she can grow extremely upset and even mortified from the sheer discomfort of wearing a poopy diaper.
Thankfully, the daycare workers are always there to keep an eye on Ellie, and to help with consistently reminding her to take toilet breaks as soon as she can so she stays accident free! They've also been helping Ellie with facing her fears, which seems to be working out well, having gotten over her fears of more hands-on art!
:Interests:
Ellie has shown great interest in learning, more so than any other child at the daycare! she likes to frequent the reading corner the most, grabbing a stack of books and plopping down onto one of the beanbag chairs to go on a long reading session, she also really enjoys using the daycare's computers to play some educational games, in fact, she's so good at them that she holds the high scores for many of those games! Which till this day, many scores remain undefeated!
Ellie especially enjoys discovering and learning more about the world, be it, science, animals, or just how things are made, preferably from books or videos though, she tends to get quite scared when she has to look at some of them up close...
:Quotes:
"H-Hi... I-I... I'm Ellie, heyyy... (finger guns) heh, heh..."
"d-don't touch my scarf... p-please... your hands might be dirty."
"Ah-Choo! yuck... I need a hanky..."
"Oh! That game's easy-peasy once you know the full multiplications table up to 12! Uhh... you do know right?"
"Eek! my diaper's icky! I want a change now!"

The way you've developed Ellie is most impressive. It is not often that I can read a character description that has more than enough information to create a path to her present point in time and how she will resolve her afflictions going forward.
What stood out, to me, was her love of reading and playing educational games. I'd believe this serves as a 'grounding' technique to keep her mind from wandering to what may, or may not, cause her an allergy attack, or feel yucky.
As for her need for diapers, her discomfort in any use of a diaper means her family can always go with the cheapest ones they can find for her. Not requiring time before rushing for a change means even a shabby diaper will have a low likelihood of leaking. Perhaps, given how she may feel about rewearing something she has soiled, thick Pull-Up style cloth diapers could be of help to her? They'd wash them very thoroughly and, if it would make her feel better about rewearing after a wash, they could use a booster pad to take the brunt of where her waste goes first.

I can see Ellie growing up to be a Scientist / Biomedical Engineer. The environments such individuals work in are kept extremely clean, have more than ample protective gear, and would allow her to put her love of reading and learning towards making cures for ailments that resulted in causing her to miss out on those things her fellow classmates were able to do as a result of her conditon / germophobia.

I'd most worry for her if she got into the realm of being a hypochondriac. If she can be kept from feeling like the giraffe in 'Madagascar', I feel she'll find ways to turn her troubles into triumphs. :)
