Description
Eleonora Hillrose is the only daughter of the Hillrose family, the sole ducal house in the Kingdom of Valschein. Her family leads the anti-royal faction, a political group opposed to the current monarchy, and the Dolkness family, to which the protagonist Yumiella belongs, is under their command. Within the framework of the otome game Light Magic and the Hero, she is positioned as the major villainess, a typical rival character who antagonizes the game’s heroine. Despite her high status and the fearsome reputation that precedes her, her true nature is very different from this image.

In contrast to her role as a noble antagonist, Eleonora possesses a pure, innocent, and remarkably simple personality. She is a hopeless fangirl of Prince Edwin Valschein, completely infatuated with him and zealously attempting to keep other women away from him. However, she harbors no genuine malice or ill intent. Her villainous actions are largely a result of her being easily influenced and manipulated by her followers and those around her, who exploit her naive nature for their own political ambitions. She is known to be a chatterbox with a surprising amount of courage; unlike most other students, she shows no fear of Yumiella’s black dragon, Ryu, even when it playfully nibbles on her head.

Eleonora’s motivations are straightforward, centered on her love for Prince Edwin and her desire for friendship and acceptance. Her role in the story evolves as she interacts with Yumiella. Initially, she is distant and follows her followers' guidance to keep her distance from Yumiella. However, when Yumiella gives her a compliment to avoid conflict, Eleonora instantly accepts her as a friend. This friendship becomes a pivotal turning point. Through her bond with Yumiella, Eleonora begins to break free from her role as a political puppet, gradually developing her own will and learning to act according to her own desires rather than simply being a tool for others. Her kindness and sincerity shine through in her interactions, as she shows a readiness to accept others warmly.

Eleonora has a distinct set of strengths and weaknesses. In terms of abilities, she is notoriously poor at academic studies, frequently failing tests and requiring remedial exams. Her magical talent and combat skills are virtually nonexistent; she remains at level 1 throughout the main events of the story and is considered so weak that even a slime could pose a threat to her. Despite these academic and physical limitations, she possesses a remarkable and unusual memory. When she is motivated by a subject she loves, such as Prince Edwin or tea, she can memorize information with incredible ease, a fact that even impresses Yumiella. Furthermore, she has an unexpected talent for choosing perfumes, to the point that professionals seek her advice. Physically, she is recognizable by her long, wavy blonde hair and red eyes.
