History: Muggleborn witch born in Liverpool to a very young and very single mother. Her mother was a bit of a dreamer, and ran away from home to follow the travelling show circuit, making her own homemade remedies and beauty products, reading palms and tea leaves, wanting to live an adventure. She's Wiccan and that has caused some rivalry with her Eleanor: jealousy and fascination combined. Eleanor's younger years were nomadic, always moving where the work was and never entirely being accepted outside the show employees. Hogwarts was the first place that she was ever able to really call home.

Her father is not in the picture and never has been - her birth the result of one foolish night with a 'magician' in the sideshow fair. She used to think of him quite a lot when she was little, but has hardened herself and no longer indulges herself in idle fantasies and her mother has long ago hammered in the idea that she doesn't need a man in her life, that to depend on one is a weakness.

Her years at Hogwarts were filled with a need to prove herself - she had a few close friends, the odd boyfriend, but she was a bit scrappy and never really favoured by some teachers - she started fights with other kids when she was younger and still adjusting to being away from home, receiving detention for biting another girl one year. Her grades were hard won - she fought to learn as much as she could and gain acceptance as a proper witch, instead of feeling as though she was an intruder. She studied hard in places where she could improve - some things, like Potions came naturally to her, havinhg watched her mother whip up similar things for years.

Trying to keep her magic a secret has been difficult, considering her mother's profession, they've always been under suspicion from many scared and fearful townsfolk - Eleanor has tried to convince her mother to get a real job and stop playing with magic, but to no avail. Eleanor now chooses to only inhabit the magical world where she can, straying from it very little. She is torn between the two worlds, owing allegiance to both and both have their prejudices against 'her kind' - but she would choose the magical world if she was forced to.

Personality: Hotheaded and tempermental, she can come off as a bit simple and without class. Her brusque mannerisms are a way of protecting herself - putting distance between her and those she meets. She's not the brightest - but she is determined and quietly competitive, she wants to prove herself in the world of magic.

Eleanor is stubborn, loyal, fiercely passionate and usually the first to jump into a fight without much thought about consequences or tactics. She uses much of her anger to mask her insecurities, and can be rude and brusque just to be defiant. Often quick to judge and faster to react, she gets herself backed into a lot of corners through her own behaviour.

She is naive in many respects, having been very thoroughly schooled in life by a highly immature mother, it has affected her outlook on the world, and made her bitter. She acts tough, but much of it is an act to shield herself from her own insecurities. She argues petulantly, for the sake of argument and being right - and can be judgmental and uncompromising. When she feels something is right, she expects everyone to feel the way she does.

Eleanor can be sweet, dopey and quite childish when she lets her guard down - or has had a little too much to drink.

Appearance: Short and scrawny; she's always looked younger than her years. She has light brown hair, usually tied back rather messily. She's pale with a few freckles, brown eyes and wears clothes that are comfortable to her - jeans, t-shirts. She got used to skirts at Hogwarts but doesn't usually make a habit out of it - her chicken legs don't really look all that fetching sticking out of skirts or dresses.
