[b][color=7ea7d8]Personality:[/color][/b] Sergeant Eleanor Jehenne is a knight in shining armor- or so she believes herself to be. Inspired from a young age to do good, Elly follows a strict personal guideline of morality modelled after the laws of her lands and the codes of the fabled warriors of old and new. Earnest to a fault, Eleanor can easily come off as self righteous, but it is only born of an intense desire to do good. Good in that everyone deserves a free life, where everyone's rights end where their neighbors begin. An idealistic world where people wish to help each other. Eleanor seeks to convert or destroy all who oppress others, who take advantage of those beneath them, and who's greed and malice have overtaken them. An introverted book reader as a child, and dedicated member of the military as an adult, Eleanor has little experience with social environments outside a martial setting.

Place her in a room full of warriors and she will fit right in. But civilian life, despite being the thing she is fighting to protect, can be confusing and daunting. Honesty and kindness guide her way but her convictions have not been tempered by experience or skepticism. As such she can be easily tricked or decieved. People are hard to read, but if they do not fit into her pre-concieved notions of evil doers, then they are hard for her to notice. She trusts easily and tries to become fast friends with everyone she meets. The swiftest blows she can deflect, but cruel words and witty quips can often dig straight into her heart. Her ideas are held close at heart, and an attack on them is an attack on her.

[h2][b]History[/b][/h2]
[b][color=7ea7d8]Background: [/color][/b] Born into a poor house from a cottage-working mother and nightwatch man father, Eleanor, or "Elly" as those close to her called her affectionately, was the youngest sister of four. Elly was always the odd one out, reading her fake stories about real people doing grand deeds. But she believed them. She wanted too. While her sisters dreamed of being princesses or wizards of the Blood, Elly had a goal of becoming a knight or something close to it. So she coerced her dad into giving her fighting training. Upon seeing her fighting spirit he humored her and put her into contact with his trainer. And throughout her childhood, after studies, she would run around with wooden sticks and pretend to be a warrior. At 17 years old her dreams never faltered and she tearily left for the military academy, with a love of her family and homeland in her heart.

There was hardly a better recruit anyone could ask for. She trained diligently and her natural talent and desire to improve was apparent. As she rose up through the ranks, she began to have questions. Most of her time was spent patrolling the towns, maintaining order and keeping the peace. But most of her combat experience was odd. Sometimes it was what she expected. Roving bands of raiders taking what they please on the outskirts of the empire, but every once in a while, apparently from direct orders from the queen, they raided houses. Most of the time small to medium sizes huts and shacks, grabbing militia people and farmers from their homes and dragging them out onto the street. They began travelling into neighboring countries, exacting raids upon hidden compounds.

Traitors, they said. Bandits, necromancers, cannibals, they said. Kill them all. Imprison them all. Show no mercy. The commissioned officers commanded it so, their authority direct from the queen...unquestionable. Some of her comrades had their doubts, but most would rather not rock the boat. But Eleanor began growing weary of these mysterious missions, so she did her own research. Delving into boring books, reading political treatises, putting the pieces together. The Queen, the nobles, the aristrocrats, the guilds...there is tension there. They are splitting apart. The upper echelons of society are barely holding themselves together, or perhaps keeping themselves from tearing each other apart. Now, she only has a fraction of the real story, but distrust of her current government is growing within the young woman. Discontent. What is happening? This is not the Queen she grew up to serve. There was something in the air, a smell on the wind, a murmering in the grass. There is something wicked.
