Writer's Games: Carnival

Female #7: Eleanor Lennon Mercer [SilverAndGoldfish] *DEAD*

Name: Eleanor Lennon Mercer

Age: Six years, three months, and eighteen days

Gender: Female

Appearance: Eleanor looks much like your normal young girl and a lot like every other member of her family. Her long hair is a dirty blonde color that has been passed down in Jay's family for generations, with pink and blue streaks that are the envy of all the other girls in her class. Her hazel eyes are more golden, while her siblings and Marta all have more green eyes. She's a small, pretty, pixie-like girl and is usually dressed rather eclectically and mismatched, like she was allowed to dress herself. Which she was.

Personality: There isn't much to Eleanor that can't be seen right away. Loud and rather prone to rude comments, she's a brash kind of child. She's rather serious though, not a joker or a excitable child. With a bit of an attitude to her and a bit of a potty mouth- growing up with no rules around foul mouthed musicians had lead to that- Eleanor isn't as sweet as most little girls. Though she grew up without real parents, she's rather mature for her age. Eleanor is musically inclined like her parents. Like any little kid, she can be temperamental at times and a bit naive but not always. Eleanor doesn't like adults or people who tell her what to do, being a leader and not a follower.

Background: Eleanor grew up in a rather unstable home, as her parents were more like playmates than adults. Musicians by trade, they were in a band for the longest time. Eleanor's older siblings- Lucy, Starr, and Maxwell- grew up on the road with their parents and so did Eleanor when she and her brother Rigby were born. Up until their sixth birthday, Eleanor and Rigby had a carefree but unstructured life with their parents and siblings. That recently changed, when the Mercer children were sent to live with their grandparents after Lucy told Marta and Jay that they needed to start acting like adults. The adjustment has been hard for rebellious and loud Eleanor so far but she has Rigby and the others so it's okay.

Fears: Though mostly fearless, Eleanor's does have fears that are that of a normal little girl, for the most part. She's terrified of the dark above all else. She is also rather afraid of being alone and has suffered separation anxiety since she was very little. Being very protective of Rigby, she also fears something happening to him.

Other: Some days, she prefers to be called Lennon over her real name but you aren't in any way allowed to call her Ellie or Elle. Eleanor was at the carnival with her siblings and Grandfather Ben when all of this started, as Ben had told them that they needed to have a nice family outing. Refusing to let her Grandmother Josie dress her, she was wearing a floral sundress, leopard print leggings, cowboy boots, and a leather jacket.
