Eleanor is Karim's first adult lover, his first serious relationship. She is an actor in Matthew Pyke's troupe. She comes from a wealthy background but tries to hide this fact as much as possible. Eleanor has a tragic past. Her last boyfriend committed suicide and she has never really gotten over it.
