Appearance: Eleanor is rather short for a girl her age; though not to the point of being a dwarf in comparison to regular men and women. The full-time inventor is lean built with a seemingly thin frame; giving the impression of just how fragile she actually is. Trained more for speed then strength because of this; while she might not be able to directly wrestle someone to the ground she can at least out manoeuvre them. Her seemingly black hair is actually a very dark shade of brunette; and is typically cut to about her chin around the front with the back and sides managing to be a little bit longer. She usually parts the long fringe near the right hand side of her face; with the majority of it being combed across to the other side of her face with the covering of her blue eyes; more specifically her left eye; not being unheard of.
Eleanor isn’t a particular fan of ordinary Greek fashion. Preferring her idea of what is both diverse and practical; though often thought to be barbaric in origin by others; an ordinary cloth woven shirt with sleeves cut to her elbow and leggings forming the basis of her regular attire. The supplements to this basic attire depend entirely on the conditions she’s currently faced with; with a more common addition being the hide soled sandals that make up the majority of footwear for all of Greece. The leather straps used to secure the foot to the sole are relatively plain in design and colour; and the upper most band of the sandal only just surpasses her ankles.
Personality:•General Persona: Eleanor is known for being fairly confrontational despite her self-proclaimed profession. Though she is used to being criticized for her inventions and work ethnic in general; she isn’t known for taking ungrounded comments well and is quick to share her opinion of such things with the perpetrator in question. Beyond her work she is seen more as a recluse then an out and about person; not finding herself fond enough of others to really care for them or share much about herself with them. Eleanor isn’t too good with ignoring other people in distress however; and even if only for a brief moment she’ll try to right whatever ails them to the best of her ability. Even though it usually ends with little gain or loss because of her bluntness and lack of social capability.
•Inner Thought Process: Inside, Eleanor is very much the same as she is on the outside; a generally withdrawn, sometimes quick to fight girl with a mind for inventing and helping the common good. She finds a personal dislike for people who are quick to give up on their ideals, though she also equally hates people who cling desperately to their ideals without taking anything else into consideration. Her general approach to problems and people is of a more mathematical or mechanical nature; applying herself in certain ways to better accomplish a task in the least amount of time possible while minimising causalities. This goes hand in hand with her rather blunt nature; preferring to simply get straight to the point and ending a conversation rather then waffling on for any length of time.
•Fears: People being badly effected by her attempts at inventing; being incapacitated in any way, shape or form, (whether by sickness, severed limbs or restraints.)
•Pleasures: Being successful in one of her newer attempts at inventing; getting a chance to test the inventions in real life situations.

Weapons:
Primary Weapon Name: Spear Gauntlets
Primary Weapon Type: Bladed & Ranged
Primary Weapon Description: A pair of prototype armaments meant to free the hands in combat situations and protect the forearms; Spear Gauntlets are an attempt to tie ranged and bladed weaponry together and use them as un-armed combat supplements. Secured to the forearm with several evenly spaced belts attached to long leather gloves; the specially sized spears are loaded onto bronze running tracks and locked into place when the band is pulled back so far with reinforced catches. The catches are released; and therefore the spears are allowed to launch; by a button that is built onto the ends of handles fashioned so she can hold them without much trouble.
Secondary Weapon Name: Short Spears
Secondary Weapon Type: Bladed, Blunt & Ranged
Secondary Weapon Description: A set of six short handled wooden spears with bronze heads; while their primary function is ammunition for the Spear Gauntlets they can also be used separate in one or both hands. Depending on which side is being held determines whether it’s bladed or blunt when used; and they can also be thrown for ranged capability. Each spear handle is about the length of her fore-arm and hand; with the heads being a hand-span on their own.

But Your History Decides Your Version of "Responsibility"
[/b][/size][/center][/u]History: Born a ‘citizen’ of the city of Athens; Eleanor was raised by her father; a blacksmith named Kheiron; and her mother Rhea. Life in the biggest city of Greece was both simple yet difficult; while there were no enforced practises like Spartan Military recruitment, having the coin to survive in Athens as a free citizen was sometimes a challenge far greater then any profession could provide. They managed their way through life though; with Eleanor attending school as the time came with enough work for her father to keep an adequate amount of coin for a rainy day. Perhaps the only problem with this ‘perfect’ life was Eleanor’s lack of interested in education as a whole. Not to say she lacked the ability or intelligence to learn; she just didn’t care to do so in facilities where multiple children were taught.
She broke away from school a few years after; redirecting her attention to the pursuit of academics in her own way about subjects she was interested in. This didn’t settle well with her parents when they found out; and after a few ill-thought attempts to force her back into school, she took what little actually belonged to her and ran away from home. Managing for the next few years on her own proved an arduous task; doing odd jobs as people offered them for quick sources of income before moving on; and she only found herself truly settling down in Thebes because of the amount of work one could find. By this time she’d just passed into her teenage years; though unlike other teenage girls she’d been forced to grow far faster then most would be forced to survive out on her own.
Most of her work in Thebes ended up being courier services; delivering mail from one side of the spanning city only to have to take a message back the opposite way. This was perhaps the main reason for her build-up in agility and her slight skill acrobatically; the busy town requiring a somewhat skilled mover to get from point A to point B when speed was of the essence. Her most memorable delivery was to the Olympus Coliseum; set on the side of Mount Olympus itself and host of many a prestigious tournament and the place where many heroes found their training commence. This became the main place for Eleanor’s hobby to flourish; the application of her accumulated knowledge in invention and optimisation; and since then she has been a regular visitor to the Coliseum itself.
Her most recent invention of the Spear Gauntlets were specifically for the coliseum as it had allowed her a place to practise and work in peace within the confines of Thebes; and as such she can’t wait to test them in the arena itself. She just hoped her actual skill using them didn’t end up letting her down when it came to the somewhat ‘grand’ unveiling of the weapons system.
