Appearance:

Short, about 5 foot 2 inches tall. Has auburn long hair with fringes that part and tuck behind her ear. The bottom tips of her hair flip upward. She has big, grey eyes that are shielded behind a small pair of silver, nez, reading glasses. She can see without them (when she's not reading) but she feels comfortable hiding behind them. She has one visable scar going across her cheek from jumping into high water to save a little puppy a few years back. Another scar across her eye from an unfortunate accident with a project.

Personality:

Eleanor's known to be very kind, generous and considerate. Contributing to those positive traits would be her high intelligence potential. A few minor negative traits would be her shyness; although she's been known to do spontaneous things when on her own. She's also quite friendly, incapable of being mean or rude.

Equipment:

Utility belt around her waist. Usually holds small tools incase she's needed to repair something. Other pockets hold paint brushes, pencils, pens and gold.


Abnormal Abilities:

Um, none?

History:

Eleanor Cohen had been born into a wealthy family, raised with two loving parents, a military obligated uncle and a entrepreneur for an uncle. She'd always been raised to mind her manners, to follow her morals and to always hold her head up high, though not in a stuck up way, what so ever.

Growing up, Eleanor was pretty happy and had shown much talent in a few areas such as her artwork, inventing and culinary arts. Usually found with her nose in a book or her sketch book, she still had time to make friends and lose friends as life usually goes.

Eventually when she turned 18, her uncle, Zachary had opened up a shop where baked goods and handmade candy would be sold. Since he had no wives or children, he chose his dear niece, Eleanor for more reasons than those. Not only could she bake and make candy, she was smart enough to crunch numbers and create devices to help manage the store more accurately.

Eleanor had grown to love the shop which immediately had become the "hot spot" of Gaia and also the very first and only candy shop of Gaia. She'd grown accustomed to coming into a shop filled with the sweet smells of chocolate and savory cakes. Of course she managed to keep her hobbies in the evenings and days off. Always searching for inspiration for her portraits or spent her time busy with designing new projects that she would use to make life easier, or so she thought.

Her first love, however, would always be her art though. Nothing could ever tear her away from her passion as an artist.

As time went on, Eleanor had become lonely and longed for someone to have and to hold, to support them and be supported back. She wanted a loved one and possibly even a child. Unfortuntely she was told she'd be barren.

Since then, Eleanor had become depressed and decided to abandon her hope in finding a lover and having children. What man would want a barren woman for a wife? Sadly, her lonliness and depression had began to affect her artwork and outlook on life.
