— Eleanor, Into the Pit
|
Eleanor is the main antagonist of the Fazbear Frights series. She is a dark chaotic force who feeds off human suffering and agony. Her origins are unknown. She first appeared in To Be Beautiful, the second story of Fazbear Frights: Into the Pit and she is mentioned in Frailty, the first story of Tales from the Pizzaplex: Lally's Game.
Appearance[]
Eleanor closely resembles Circus Baby, but she is a bit taller. She is said to have a painted face, with pink cheeks and lips. Her red hair is tied into two tight pigtails, and her eyes are a bright green with long lashes. Her body is sleek and silver, with a long neck, tiny waist, and a rounded bust and hips. Her arms and legs are long and skinny. Her body is also small.
When examined by Everett Larson, however, Eleanor is said to have a skeletal face, as if a thin layer of diseased gray skin is being stretched over her metal skull. Her face is painted garishly with a candy-apple-red mouth and pink cheeks, giving her a hideous clown-like appearance. Eleanor has large, deep-set eyes that are dark pits, and her mouth can stretch impossibly wide. Her twin pigtails are said to be bizarrely childish. Instead of a button, Eleanor has a weird cartoonish heart pendant around her neck which pulses and glows blood red. Gooey black tendrils made of blood shoot from her mouth, nose, fingers, and toes.
Personality[]
Although she may initially appear to be gentle, thankful and sweet, this is just a disguise she uses to earn people's sympathy. She's actually an evil and manipulative creature, who tends to lie and deceive, and shows sociopathic behavior, treating everybody as a slave to reach her goals. She likes to tease and mock her adversaries, winking at Jake McNally after absorbing the evil contained inside the Stitchwraith, and telling Sarah she made her wish come true while she's dying. The only person so far, she's shown to have some sort of positive relationship with is William Afton, as shown by her giving him the power to create the amalgamation and sustaining him when he was too weak. However, it's unknown whether her collaborating with Afton was out of genuine affection towards him, or simply as a way to gain something for herself; It's very likely to be the latter, as she abandons him to die once she gained what she wanted.
History[]
Fazbear Frights Series[]
To Be Beautiful[]
Eleanor was first encountered in the dumpster by Sarah, who takes her home and cleans her up, believing her to be beautiful even if she doesn't work. In return, Eleanor gifts Sarah with a cartoonish heart necklace that allows Sarah to appear more beautiful every day, with the only condition being that she never take it off. Sarah is skeptical and believes it to be a dream when she wakes up the next day with Eleanor slumped and turned off, until she notices her hands.
The necklace works as it should and Sarah becomes more beautiful every day, first her hands, then her legs, then her body, and finally, her face and hair. Sarah is delighted and believes Eleanor to be her best true friend. One night, Sarah is sleeping and has a nightmare. She is on a date with her boyfriend, Mason, when she goes to look at him but it's not his face, it's Eleanor's. Eleanor smiles, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth. Sarah wakes up to find Eleanor crouched over her bed, staring at her. Sarah asks if she was making a noise, and Eleanor replies that nothing is wrong, but she wants to keep Sarah safe. Sarah uncomfortably tells Eleanor to sit on the opposite side of the room and doesn't sleep for the rest of the night.
Eventually, Sarah trips and her necklace comes off, revealing Eleanor's true intentions. Sarah begins to fall apart, becoming scrap metal. She runs to her house and screams for Eleanor, yanking on a closet door to stop herself from falling over as she loses contact with her nerves. Plastic bags fall out of the cupboard, revealing severed limbs, organs, and a familiar potato-shaped nose. Sarah realizes that piece by piece, Eleanor had removed parts of Sarah's body, replacing them with scrap metal. As Sarah comes apart, Eleanor presses a heart-shaped button on her throat and takes Sarah's old, unchanged appearance as the little girl slowly dies off.
Sometime later, the Sarah disguise is blown again revealing Eleanor. Eventually she breaks down and is found by the Stitchwraith, to be brought into the abandoned factory.
Stitchwraith Stinger - The Cliffs[]
While Jake is trying to prevent other animatronics from being absorbed into The Agony, possessed by William Afton, he discovers Eleanor in the midst. She pins Jake down to the ground. Jake had been partially infected during his prior fight against the Agony, and Eleanor decided to absorb that infection from him. This allows her to be absorbed into the creature.
Before the Agony is destroyed, Eleanor separates herself from it and enters a vent opening in the factory. The Agony sinks to the bottom of the lake after being defeated by The Marionette. Jake realizes that Afton was barely clinging onto life and that someone else was giving him power.
Stitchwraith Stinger - Gumdrop Angel and The Puppet Carver[]
Eleanor appears as a homeless girl that was about to beat up by some drug dealers before being saved by Jake. However, this isn't revealed until Stinger #10.
Eleanor introduces herself as Renelle. Jake explains he "protected" her from the drug dealers, for which Renelle thanks him for, and explains that she's not afraid of Jake's appearance because the real monsters are the ones who take advantage of others. She recounts her backstory, of how her father became obsessed about his work after her mother's death, eventually kicking her out after she stole some money. Renelle realizes she still misses, and her father and Jake promises that he will help her.
Stitchwraith Stinger - Friendly Face[]
Meanwhile, Jake and "Renelle" visit her father's house, and the man turns out to be no one else than Dr. Talbert himself. As Jake looks through the house, he sees a picture of Talbert and Dr. Phineas Taggart, the man who created the Stitchwraith and got killed by it. Another picture was of Talbert and his daughter, except she didn't have brown hair and blue eyes like Renelle did; She had black hair and brown eyes. Larson enters Talbert's house just in time to see Renelle change into the girl in the picture.
Suddenly, he saw a vision of Eleanor. He realizes she is not the little girl standing before him but a corruptive evil entity that fed off people's suffering. He was so appalled by her evil he tried to shoot her with his gun, but lost consciousness before managing to do it, only whispering her name. Within the mindscape, he saw several visions that show Eleanor is the mastermind behind most events that have happened in the series. She was the one who gave the Plushtrap Chaser his human eyes and teeth. She was the one torturing Delilah, not her doll Ella like she thought. She was holding down Pete Dinglewood after he was hit by a truck in Step Closer to perform an operation on him. She was the greater evil that was helping William Afton and was the second signal in William's brain mentioned in The Man in Room 1280. She was also the one who had latched onto Toby Billings' shadow, manifesting as RWQFSFASXC from the arcade game, leeching off of his competitive nature in Hide and Seek and was the one who pushed Sam under the train in Blackbird.
Meanwhile, back in reality, Dr. Talbert hugs Eleanor, who was impersonating his daughter. Jake realizes she was the evil entity helping Afton or at the very least had the true threat inside of her. He pushes her against the wall, but Eleanor uses her illusion powers to make it look like he stabbed her. Talbert pulls out a gun and shoots Jake, destroying the Stitchwraith's battery pack and disabling the animatronic. Jake watches at Talbert gives his "daughter" some remnant and realizes this was Eleanor's plan all along - She wanted remnant to become more powerful and become eternal.
Eleanor's disguise melts away, revealing her true form...

Larson wakes up and catches a glimpse of Eleanor's true form, a heinous and horrendous mannequin-shaped creature with tendrils made of blackened blood coming out from every opening in her body, but he's then soon forced back into the memory world by her. Eleanor fights Larson again in a garage with boxes full of Christmas decorations, but is once again defeated by him, who defends using paperweights and a candelabra, and again in a bedroom with a Freddy Fazbear poster, where she jumps out of a closet and is hit by Larson with a bat.
