Eleanor is of about average size for her age, with olive skin, broad shoulders, and a round face. Her hair and eyes are brown, just like her mother's, though facially she more resembles her father.

History

Eleanor is the only child of Colin Burkhart, a pure-blooded English wizard and Ayashe Young, a Native American woman that Colin met when he was seventeen whilst traveling after his graduation from Hogwarts. Over the course of a few months, they fell madly in love with each other, and Colin proposed on Ayashe's 18th birthday, much to his family's displeasure. He brought her back with him to England and she soon became pregnant with what they thought would be the first of many children they would have together. Unfortunately, not long after Eleanor's birth, Ayashe fell deathly ill. Colin's family took advantage of the couple's vulnerable state and began to exert their influence over them and their young child. The Burkharts were a pure-blood family of modest reputation that saw an opportunity in Eleanor. While her father was kept busy caring for her mother, they were her primary caregivers and groomed her to be the perfect heir to their line despite her blood status. They were pleased when her magical ability surfaced young, with her levitating toys and starting small fires whenever she would throw a tantrum. She currently lives with them in their family estate, while her father and mother live in Muggle London where Ayashe can receive treatment.

Personality

Having been raised by her grandparents, Eleanor learned early on that anything less than perfection was unacceptable. She is remarkably pragmatic and practical for someone so young due in large part to the amount of responsibility she had to take on as a caregiver to her mother before being sent to live with her grandparents. Despite the immense amount of pressure that has been placed on her shoulders, she has maintained a bit of a mischievous streak, often sneaking out of the family estate during the night to wander the forest that surrounds the property. She can also be described as very focused, protective, and hardworking.
