    In Character
    Full Name: Eleanor Marie Honeycutt
    Nicknames: Ella, Ellie
    Birthdate: September 26, 1865
    Current Age: Eighteen Years
    Occupation: Housemaid for Pendergast's School for Young Roses
    Hogwarts House: Would-be Hufflepuff (didn't attend)
    Wand: Ten inches, Rosewood, Fairy wings & Unicorn hair, Supple
    Blood Status: Pureblood
    Social Class: Lower Class
    Family:
      Alexander Honeycutt, born 1838, father
      Wilhelmina Honeycutt nee Higgins, born 1845, mother
      Laurence Honeycutt, born 1863 (d. 1868), brother
    Appearance:
    Standing a little over five foot, three inches tall, Eleanor has a graceful, slender body with toned arms and a completely flat stomach. She might not have many curves, but she does have an average-sized bosom. Her bottom is flat and the transition between her waist and his is subtle, but she does dress herself to best fit her body type. Eleanor has pale skin that she makes sure to keep clean with a few little tricks she's learned from her mother.

    Eleanor has light brown, almost auburn hair color that seems to radiate in the summer sunlight, and big, almond-shaped green eyes. She dresses in the nicest clothes she can find, which are usually a mocked version of the latest fashions with cheaper fabric. Eleanor uses her right hand when doing magic.

    History:
    Eleanor was born the second child to Alexander Honeycutt, a security wizard at the ministry, and Wilhelmina, who was working as a prostitute when she met Alexander. The two kindled their romantic relationship after Alexander paid for her services with money he'd stolen from one of his coworkers, and from then on she grew wary of her job, wanting to remain loyal to the man she loved. She quit her job to become a shop employee in Diagon Alley, in a store that sold broomsticks and quidditch equipment. The two married not long after Wilhelmina's seventeenth birthday, and gave birth to their first child less than a year after tying the knot.

    Eleanor was not the first child in the Honeycutt household. Her older brother, Laurence, was born a few years before her, but died when she was only three from a horrible case of pneumonia. After his death, her parents decided that they didn't need another child and wouldn't go through the emotional risk of losing yet another child. Eleanor showed her first sign of magic when she was five years old when she slipped a few sickles and knuts from a passerby's pocket without managing to touch him at all.

    Eleanor received her acceptance letter to Hogwarts during the summer of 1877, but her family decided not to send her, as they needed the extra income that she could provide by doing cleaning jobs and begging on the streets. She went to work as a kitchen maid for a middle class family that lived near her's in London, and was able to work flexible hours because of her young age and the older housemaids who would often help her finish her work. She proved to be a hard worker from a young age, and had no problem keeping an occupation with the family she was working for.

    In 1882, the Honeycutt household moved to Irvingly, meaning Eleanor quit her job to go find employment among some of the other lower class muggles that had moved to Irvingly. She found a waitress job in a small cafe, but later quit after being sexually pressured by one of her coworkers. During the summer of 1884, she found herself a job working for Olivia Pendergast as a housemaid for her new finishing school, Pendergast's School for Young Roses.
