Nachtwald: Eleanor A. Meinir

(For #Nachtwald application...so much information...)

Name: Eleanor A. Meinir
Age: 15 (because of her height, she looks 17 or 18)
Grade: 9 (Freshman)
Weight: 155-160 lbs
Height: 6' 0
Species: Witch
Birthday: March 22nd
Club(s): Creative Writing, Shepherding Club, Magic Club (out of obligation as a witch)

Personality:
Eleanor is aware of how different the values that she was brought up on might be to people outside her coven, but she usually doesn’t talk about them. Otherwise, she has a knack to being straightforward and truthful about things. Generally, she is very quiet and enjoys writing stories, but will talk to you if you talk to her.

In the city, she tries to hide the signs of how she lives in the forest (although it is pretty obvious). Currently she accepts and rejects some belief values from both the city and forest.

Likes:
• Gross candy, she usually has a few to share
• Bubbles, because they float around
• Raccoons, very tasty
• Potted fir trees, because they are cute

Dislikes:
• Archery
• Pavement, it’s hard to walk on
• Excavators, elevators, and escalators = scary things
• Pretension and obsession, because of her mother

History:
Eleanor is the middle child of seven and was raised in a conservative close-knit coven located not too far away from the main city--hidden in the forests. Her coven despise cities, people who can’t use magic and excavators, and try to make city witches move to the forest; however, members are allowed to visit cities and trade items in the cities. Eleanor's mother is the Grand-High Leader of the coven. Although Eleanor loves and is supported by her family, she does not share her families’ bitterness or strong beliefs to the same extent because Eleanor had more freedom to explore cities and because her parents focused on 'educating' her elder sister.

With the arrival of more children into the coven, Eleanor volunteered to be taught at a Vlad Tepes Memorial High to lower the workload on the coven’s only certified teacher--her father.

Additional Information:
Most of the magic of coven members is to support their lifestyle in the forest: tree illusions, assistive aiming, temperature preserval, plant manipulation. Most spells require two or more people and embarrassing yoga poses and hand waving motions. Therefore, Eleanor doesn’t use magic very often in the city or at school.

Although she is well-taught in most subjects, at her parents’ request and because of her low use of magic, she was enrolled in in as a Freshman. She wants to be free-lance writer when she grows up, and she’s a bit embarrassed by her middle name.

(Edit) She also has red hands, because of her magic.

Preferred Role Play Methods:
In a dA notes/comments/logs, group chat, comic (colour/pencil/pen--you decide). For the latter we can agree on the script via notes. You can draw the first page, and then I will draw the next page, until it ends.
