Eleanor has smooth, milky skin and a heart-shaped face. She has high cheekbones-a trait that has been in her family line for generations-and rather average lips that she has been painting with lipstick ever since she was twelve. Her eyes are a warm brown color and her hair currently falls about halfway down her back in carefully cultivated chocolate-colored waves. She is about five feet and seven inches tall and on the slimmer side, weighing approximately one hundred and twenty-five pounds.

Eleanor has always favored a very feminine, girly style. She loves frilly ruffles and bows and wears high heels and skirts, no matter what the occasion. Many people have described her manner of dressing as "doll-like" or "girlish". In terms of make-up, Eleanor always goes for what makes her appear innocent and doe-eyed. She is currently a fan of pale pink or cherry red lipsticks and soft, smoky eye shadows and the barest hint of blush brushed over her cheeks. Eleanor would never allow herself to be seen in public without a designer dress or flawless make-up.

[b]Personality:[/b] If one were to sum up Eleanor's personality in the most succinct way possible, the first words that come to mind are "back-stabbing bitch". Indeed, Eleanor is almost ruthlessly amoral, doing only what she believes will benefit her and whoever she cares about at the moment. She is also exceedingly petty and takes every little slight as an insult. She may not act on her feelings if she deems it unnecessarily risky-but she never forgets. Eleanor can, and has, hold a grudge for years at a time. Many people find Eleanor's temperament to be startling similar to that of a high school girl.

Eleanor appears as innocent and naive and somewhat prissy, which is aided by her choices of clothing and make-up. She is the epitome of a drama queen or a spoiled brat at times, and her voice is the most whiny and petulant sound that you will ever hear. However, behind her childish squeals and full, pouty lips and shy yet somehow sultry glances, Eleanor is calculating her every move, analyzing every possibility, and listening to everybody's thoughts. Eleanor possesses a cold cunning that is concealed by frilly lace dresses and soft pink lipstick. She can be unhealthily fixated on revenge, and never, ever, [i]ever[/i] lets things go. Oh, Eleanor will pretend to forgive and forget, but whether or not she actually does is another matter entirely. 

The easiest way to anger Eleanor is to ruin her clothes or shoes or mess up her hair and make-up. She has never held back when exacting revenge against people who just can't seem to appreciate how much effort goes into looking good.

[b]Power:[/b] Telepathy and other associated abilities-reading thoughts, communicating with others via thoughts, controlling others with her mind, absorbing/transferring large amounts of information at one time, creating illusions and altering or completely erasing perceptions/memories/knowledge, producing telepathic blasts which can induce pain or knock out a person, etc

[b]Power Source:[/b] Eleanor grew up in a wealthy family that was among New York's social elite. She was always concerned with what others were thinking-what they thought of her, what they were planning to do, what they wanted. Eleanor became adept at manipulating her classmates in the Upper East Side's private schools, and part of that involved getting into their heads...so much that she became a telepath.

[b]Power Fear:[/b] Her nails-if she notices that her nail polish is peeling or otherwise imperfect in any way, shape, or form, Eleanor can't use her abilities as well as she normally would. If the nails themselves are broken, Eleanor loses the ability altogether, until she fixes the aforementioned nails (for this reason, she always cares around a nail clipper and a nail file and extra nail polish. She also tends to wear gloves a lot).

[b]Origin:[/b] Eleanor Fife-Stanpoth was born to a wealthy family who could trace their ancestry all the way back to the influential merchant class of New York City in the colonial time period. Her father was a businessman who had used old family money to triple his fortune, and her mother was a socialite who owned a fashion line. Eleanor is an only child. 

Right from the start, Eleanor was sent away to prestigious boarding schools and the like all over the country. She received the best education that the country had to offer, and she clawed her way up the social ladder with a potent mixture of a pretty face, an undeniable confidence, and a frighteningly ruthless approach to taking down anyone who stood in her way. People learned not to cross Eleanor, for she would somehow find out their deepest, darkest secrets and tell the entire school (she was actually expelled once for revealing that the headmistress's daughter, one of her fellow classmates, was sleeping with a man twice her age-the headmistress expelled Eleanor on the grounds of spreading rumors, but Eleanor knew the truth). Catty and manipulative, Eleanor was well aware that nobody really [i]liked[/i] her-but she didn't mind. Her father had always said that it was better to be feared than loved.

Eleanor transferred to an elite private school in the Upper East Side for high school. There, she came to the peak of her power, aided by her reputation and her family name-she was a veritable queen bee. Eleanor also began modeling for her mother's fashion line. 

High school was a whirlwind of social drama, parties, and underage drinking. Eleanor's powers first began to manifest when she was in ninth grade, though she didn't know it was telepathy at the time. She used it to her advantage, and by the end of freshman year, even the seniors recognized that she was a real threat. Eleanor's popularity was aided by the fact that her parents were frequently away from home. She took advantage of this and threw parties in their large home. Her grades, which had always been good, soared as a result of her telepathy, and when she graduated, she was valedictorian.

College was much of the same. Eleanor became the president of a sorority and made her mark as one of the smartest students to ever attend the school.

After graduating from college, Eleanor decided to invest in the stock market. She blackmailed her father into doing as she said by revealing that she knew he was sleeping with another woman (in truth, neither of Eleanor's parents had been sharing a bed for years now). Armed with her developing telepathy and her cherry lip gloss, Eleanor set out to increase the family fortune by tenfold. She wasn't afraid of resorting to illegal means, though she was careful to cover her tracks carefully so that she would not be arrested for fraud, insider trading, and a whole host of activities that were against the law.

While she made a name for herself in the financial world, Eleanor also was taking the social scene by the storm. She continued modeling on the side for her mother's fashion line, and attended extravagant events all over the country, from weddings to award ceremonies to fashion shows. She dated a few men in order to discover their secrets, though she has recently re-connected with a college classmate who was quickly becoming one of the most influential businessmen in the world. After consulting with her parents, Eleanor decided that she would get him to marry her. At the same time, she discovered the full extent of her telepathic abilities. She subtly telepathically manipulated the college classmate into proposing, and it was the day after their lavish engagement party when she was taken by the Patriots.

[b]Blackmail:[/b] The Patriots know much about Eleanor's illegal activities, and they had been indirectly spying on her for years (they would send agents out to spy on the people she came into contact with, and they always made sure to stay away from Eleanor herself, so that she would not be able to read their thoughts and deduce that the Patriots were keeping an eye on her). They have quietly collected enough evidence to convict her should they ever turn her in, leaving Eleanor no choice but to cooperate.

[b]Alignment:[/b] Officially, the Fife-Stanpoths are pro-Trump, but in reality, Eleanor supports whoever she feels would best be able to serve her interests; right now, it just happens to be President Trump. She would be willing to negotiate with the Patriots if she feels that they offer some sort of substantial benefit to her.
