Personality: Eleanor is a bright, quiet young woman who grew up in the shadow of her overly ambitious sister. Unlike Charlotte, she doesn't feel the need to constantly improve herself to raise in the ranks, and she is perfectly happy to be in the assistant position that she is in and has been in for the last seven years. Does she see herself working as assistant for the rest of her life? No. No, eventually Eleanor wants to start a family and when that time comes, she'll stop working so she can stay at home with the children. She's not in a hurry, though, she's only 27 and far from even being close to that cut-off line for having children. Eleanor does have a bit of a shy streak and can at times tie herself up in knots when having to interact with people outside of work. All that hesitation and insecurity, however, completely disappears when she goes on stage. She loves singing, and will be there (with bells on) if there’s ever anything even remotely resembling karaoke or sing-alongs happening.
Strengths: Supportive, reliable and patient, imaginative and observant, enthusiastic, loyal and hardworking, good practical skills
Weaknesses: Humble and shy, take things too personally, represses feelings, overloads herself, reluctant to change, too altruistic
Personal History: Eleanor was born as the second and last child to Emily and Henry Branstone, not even a year after her only sibling: Charlotte. That was also how Eleanor ended up in the same year as her older sister, though with their two vastly differing personalities, Eleanor was sorted into Hufflepuff right after Charlotte had taken a seat by the Ravenclaw table.
Eleanor was a hardworking and bright, if quiet student. She felt the most comfortable working in the background, handling the practical details, and never felt the need to prove herself or take the lead. The exception to this, was when she was with the choir, where the quiet girl who was prone to nervous rambling felt truly confident.
That need to help out and her near-inability to say no wasn't what landed her the position as personal assistant to Gaspard Shingleton; it's why she held that position since she responded to his ad a few months after she had left Hogwarts in 2001 and up until early 2009. When Shingleton decided he wanted to permanently relocate to his private island in the Caribbean, Eleanor chose to resign. She loved her work, she enjoyed working with Shingleton, but she wasn’t ready to uproot her life like that. Barely had she resigned, before she was headhunted for the position of personal assistant to the editor of The Daily Prophet.
