Private Information

Real Name: Eleanor Saunders

Real Talent: Ultimate Socialite

Real Gender: Female

Personality: Publically, Eleanor is an exceedingly polite young lady. She is very diplomatic in her approach, always careful not to tread any toes. She treats everyone with the same high respect, and is generally agreeable.

When with close friends and family, her true opinions come out a bit more. She still talks with same respect, but is more willing to talk about her feelings, good or bad. She is still very reserved however, and usually won't initiate personal conversations.

Privately, she's very insecure. Eleanor was always told how great she is, but she never really felt it. Eleanor feels like she's never had the proper right to have pride, or deserving of anything she's done. She suspects that her father is the reason why of much of her success, but is resistant in actually admitting it.

Eleanor was always surrounded by “class”. She's naturally reserved, so by being surrounded by high class manners, she adopted that lifestyle.

Eleanor prefers to align herself with happy go lucky sort of people, appreciating the optimism. She would also be nervous around blunt people, but ultimately enjoy their presence as well due to the truthfulness. She would prefer not to work with cynics

Full Backstory: Eleanor was born in London, England on June 13 to Alexander and Lucile Saunders. Her father worked in the diplomatic wing of the federal government, and her mother is a philanthropist. Eleanor became Alexander’s pride and joy, and she was often doted upon. Alexander was extremely hopeful for Eleanor to follow in his footsteps, so she learned proper manners at a young age. Home life was emotionally distant, and thus never had any huge fights.

When Eleanor reached age 11, her father was appointed as the British Ambassador to Japan. Alexander moved to Japan first, acquainted himself with the big names, before Eleanor and her mother followed. Eleanor had always grown up with Japanese influence around her, due to her father’s job and love for Japan but moving was quite jarring.

However, during a dinner hosted by a political ally of Alexander, Eleanor found a new friend her own age. Sakae Yamane, who would become the Ultimate Violinist. Despite Eleanor’s attempts to keep the girl at arms length, Sakae was able to win the Brit over with her charm and curiosity. They visit each other consistently, and in most social functions, they stick close together.

Now in Tokyo, Japan for a year, Eleanor starts truly following in her father's footsteps by going to events with him. Despite easily being the youngest in the room, she figured out how to be quite charming. With that skill, she helped aid her father in his politics. She also becomes well acquainted with the important people in Japan’s upper class. She gains access to private book clubs, and other things that high class people do.

As she becomes older, Eleanor gets introduced to drama classes at her school. Finding it fun, she decides to aim to get a part in the school’s annual play and excitedly declares this to her father. Alexander, figuring that this is her daughter's dream, decides to help through calling in favours within the school so Eleanor would get the lead. Eleanor quickly realized when she started having issues with the director when no one else was. This spread quickly, Alexander using his influence to make things easier for his daughter and Eleanor starting to develop insecurities about her positions she felt she didn't work for.

This issue reaches its peak as Alexander gets Eleanor into Hope’s Peak Academy.
