A Little History: Eleanor came into the world as Baroness Eleanor Elise ap Eiluned of Highground in the Kingdom of Grass. She came from the Dreaming by way of the Goddess Freya and the Valkryies, and immediately took the body of heiress Lenora Seil. She was given her barony by the Countess Wolfram-Smythe. Highground is known as Terre Haute, Indiana in the mortal world. It was there that she discovered the philosophy of the American Revolution and vowed that she would treat all Fae, irregardless of House, Seeming, or status as equals. She would fully embrace her family motto and leave no one behind.

BEE is Eleanor's self-given nickname as it is easier to say and write than Baroness Eleanor Elise. She also adopted the bee has her personal symbol (see bottom of page). Her friends seem to want to call her that as well as she has accepted it as a favored nickname amongst those she knows and loves.

On March 21, 2005, BEE lost her barony through the treachery of DeFayne with the help of her two closest friends, and heirs to her barony, Dominic and Delizabeta. In the fall of 2005 the brave warriors of Muses rescued Highground from Defayne's grip, killing the fiend in the process. BEE now spends her time in Highground helping her people and rebuilding the land.

BEE has two knights working for her: Sir Jain Galewarden ap Fiona and Sir Thorn Weaversbane ap Eiluned. Sir Thraxx Deviltongue ap Alil, once BEE's knight, no longer is sworn to or works for her due to circumstances that happened in Arcadia.

BEE was tasked by the Duchess Verlayne in February of 2006 to get married and have children. Thanks to the help of her leige lord, Count Vladimir Shiryaev Varichov ap Varich, she married Lord Lorenal Aziraphale Solarius ap Varich in May of 2006. She is currently pregnant with their first child and is very much in love with her husband.

House Affiliation: The first decades of Eleanor's life on Earth she was a member of House Eiluned, the house of secrets and magic. Then, after the fae had returned to Earth to help save it from destruction, she discovered she was not really House Eiluned. An envoy from House Fiona brought a letter to her from House Eiluned. The letter explained that there had been a mix-up at Eleanor's saining and she was really of House Fiona. Needless to say Eleanor went ballistic. She felt it was an attack from House Eiluned for many reasons. Then she realized, thanks to the help of the envoy, that House Fiona was much more accepting of her behavior and beliefs and they would happily welcome her with open arms. So be it. Eleanor is now House Fiona. Note: No one who knew her seemed surprised, including her husband. Also her knight and "brother" Sir Jain, copied the letter and pasted it all over Eleanor's freehold in the Amorica and Alabastar City. (His laughter can still be heard if you place your ear against a wall and hold your breath.) You can read the letter for yourself here. In fact, Eleanor keeps it close and reads it when no one is looking.

Personal description: Baroness Eleanor Elise ap Eiluned of Highground (BEE or Eleanor) is your typical gorgeous -movie- star- goddess- type- sidhe. She has ivory skin, deep purple eyes, pointy ears, and massive amounts of curly brown hair tinted with silver and gold which she mostly keeps tied back. She is 5'7" and has a curvy body reminiscent of Salma Hayek or Halle Berry . She dresses in late medieval style clothing and always wears an amber heart necklace which symbolizes her love for her goddess Freya. BEE has a Valkyrie soul and so of course serves the Nordic goddess. Her favorite colors are red and purple. If you really want to know what BEE looks like look at the small picture below that Avery drew for the Changeling oracle. It is divine.

When in mortal seeming, BEE dresses in very expensive business suits, preferring pants and boots to skirts. In her mortal seeming she is an heiress so dresses to her own standards. Her mortal seeming is also a recluse and a philanthropist. BEE, in her mortal seeming, is also a professional belly dancer whose stage name is simply Eleanor. She dances wherever she can, in restaurants a great deal, to raise glamour. She has also created instructional DVDs and books on belly dance. So it is totally normal to see BEE in belly dance garb or even practice clothing dancing in her room or a larger room in the house or on the grounds. She will of course show anyone how to dance.

BEE has a weakness for expensive sports cars. (Yes, she knows it is silly and wrong so don't tease her about it. Too much.). This is what fills the large garage/barn behind her house. Incidentally, BEE never pays full price for her vehicles. What's the point of being a glamorous sidhe if you can't finagle a good car deal?

BEE's second weakness is firearms. She loves to shoot and help others learn to shoot as well.

BEE LOVES washing dishes and tiding up the kitchen (in fact her kitchen staff have given up trying to keep her hands out of the sink). She is also very good with modern mechanical items, especially computers. BEE also loves to watch others cook as she finds it soothing and will be more than happy to keep people company in the kitchen. And then clean-up after them.

BEE is kind and considerate to everyone, or at least tries to be. She is especially protective of the childlings and will watch over them and talk with them whenever they need. She will listen to anyone's woes and will keep anyone's secrets. She is also a good love/relationship counselor as BEE is an experienced lover and loves people in spite of themselves. Afterall, a follower of Freya will of course practice Nordic sex magic and yes it does exist.

BEE's personal symbol is a bee. Her motto is "Leave No One Behind".
