Mental characteristics
Personal history
Eleanor was born in 3103 as an asymptomatic vampire. Her parents were very distant towards her, and so, copying the stories she had heard about the vampire attacks, she drained her parents, which awakened her taste for blood, and knowledge of her own hidden vampiric nature. The Holy Vampire Hunters came to investigate, and since she lacked fangs, Eleanor was dismissed as a potential suspect. She was sent to an orphanage, where she tested more methods of draining people on the other children there. Eleanor was smart about it, however, and would often bite herself to avoid suspicion.
"I didn't see who did it, Miss.. I just felt my arm hurt, and when I woke up they were already gone.."When the Holy Vampire Hunters failed to solve the mystery of the vampire attacks in the orphanage, non-church vampire hunters were called in to take over the investigation. being less proud and stubborn than the church's hunters, the rival cullers would treat everyone as a suspect, regardless of if they had fangs or not. Eventually, they worked out that the culprit must've been Eleanor, but by the time they had reached this conclusion, she was already gone. Eleanor wandered the streets for the night. In the dark alleys, she managed to find and drain someone. She was found sitting next to the body of her victim by an old vampire. This vampire was a member of the previous Order of the Nisurach Circle, and he offered her shelter in one of the order's buildings, knowing the danger of having a lost vampiric child wandering the streets of Starfell. When she arrived at the small alley house, she and her temporary guardian were greeted by the other members, many of whom were also vampires. She stayed hidden away in this house, being taken care of by the cultists who came to meet. The vampires among them taught her common customs, teaching her not to feed on innocent people, instead satisfying her need for blood with that from raw, red meat. As she grew older, they eventually let her into the Order's meetings. She became a follower of Oviafirum, and was always present at rituals and ceremonies to greet new followers of The Wolf. During the The War on Darkness, Eleanor fought fiercely, often helping plan attacks. The power of the Church's hunters was overwhelming however, and the old order fell. They executed most members, and burned anything they could find that contained demonic material. Because of this, the Grand Priest gave the last remaining copy of the Circle’s Tome to Eleanor, asking her to keep it safe until the order could be formed again. This Priest was later found and executed. Eleanor ran away with the book, finding a new purpose for herself as Guardian of the Tome. She hid for years, feeding herself pig's blood to keep herself from aging. 86 years later, she was approached by an eccentric historian, who had recently converted himself to demonolatry. Eleanor saw this as a perfect opportunity to start the Order again, and agreed to show him the forbidden truth of the demons, as long as he became the honorary leader of the new Order, while she remained secret, controlling it from the shadows. The historian agreed, and the Order was created once more.

Eleanor's whole life is driven by the Order of the Nisurach Circle. She is determined to keep it alive, having witnessed it and many previous members die in the The War on Darkness. She sees herself as the secret guardian, due to her role of guarding the The Circle’s Tome after the disbandment of the previous Order. Eleanor also intends to one day go up against the Church of the Lightbearer, exposing their lies and revealing the truth.
Social
Social Aptitude
To those who know her, Eleanor is very well mannered, but mostly cold and indifferent. She rarely shows more emotion on her face than a slight smile or slight frown. She mostly remains alone, becoming slightly hostile to most that try to become close with her. Most assume this is out of fear of her identity becoming known by the hunters, but the few people who she is close with know this is mostly because of her generally introverted nature.
