“I made your wish come true, Sarah. And in return... Well, you certainly made my wishes come true. ” |
Eleanor is the main antagonist of the Fazbear Frights anthology novel series, first appearing in To Be Beautiful, the second story of Fazbear Frights 1: Into the Pit. She also appears in a secret minigame in Five Nights at Freddy's: Into the Pit and is (presumably) the overarching antagonist of Frailty from the Tales from the Pizzaplex series.
With her origins shrouded in mystery, Eleanor is a dark chaotic force who feeds off human suffering and agony.
Physical Appearance[]
“Eleanor closely resembles Circus Baby, but she is a bit taller. She first appears in the Fazbear Frights story "To Be Beautiful," in which she's found by a girl called Sarah. Out of gratitude, Eleanor gives Sarah a necklace that will make her appear more beautiful every day. But underneath the illusion, something horrible is happening...” |
Eleanor is said to look like a supermodel, a metallic mannequin, and a doll. She's a few inches taller than Sarah and her long, slender, and elegant limbs and tiny waist are jointed. Eleanor's hands are little and white. She has wide, big, and green long-lashed eyes, pink Cupid's bow lips, and pink circles on her cheeks which makes her pretty face appear clown-like. Eleanor has sparse red hair pulled up into twin pigtails on top of her head, and her lightweight body is sleek and silver with a long neck and a rounded bust and hips. When Sarah finds her at the junkyard she is a little tarnished and dusty, but she manages to clean her off and finds an on-off switch at the small of her back. Eleanor wears a short skirt and footwear which exposes her toes. As revealed to Sarah in a dream, Eleanor has a mouthful of large, sharp and jagged teeth. Just below her throat is a cartoonish heart-shaped button.
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 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 Agony 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[]
To Be Beautiful[]
Eleanor was first encountered in an old car at a junkyard 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 girl slowly dies off.
Stitchwraith Stinger #7[]
While Jake is trying to prevent other animatronics from being absorbed into the Agony, he discovers Eleanor in the midst. She pins Jake down and her eyes glow white, and Jake feels a piece of evil that was attached to him be removed. Eleanor winks at Jake before allowing herself to be sucked in.
Before Afton's Amalgamation is destroyed, Eleanor separates herself from it and enters a vent opening in the factory.
Stitchwraith Stinger #9[]
Sometime before the events of this epilogue, Eleanor takes the place of a homeless girl rescued by Jake. When Jake returns, she 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 #10[]
“He could see her, but he could see into her, too, and what he saw was a black, chaotic force that fed on human suffering. The fear, the pain, the death—she, not the Stitchwraith, was the cause of it. In both his head and his heart, Larson knew this to be true. He was surer of it than he had been of anything in his life.” |
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 in 1:35 A.M., implying that Eleanor contains Ella's Agony. She was holding down Pete after he was hit by a truck in Step Closer to perform an operation on him. She was the greater evil that had been inside William Afton and jumped out of his body, implying there's a possibility she was the second signal in William's brain mentioned in The Man in Room 1280. She also was somehow connected to Toby's shadow, manifesting as RWQFSFASXC from the arcade game, the same one that was leeching off of his competitive nature in Hide-and-Seek. However, what is confirmed was that she was the one who pushed Sam under the train in Blackbird. It's not known if these visions are literal or symbolic of what she had done, though the idea of it being literal is the most believed.
Meanwhile, back in reality, Dr. Talbert hugs Eleanor, who was impersonating his daughter. Jake realizes she was an evil entity seeming 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 to become eternal. Eleanor's disguise melts away, revealing her true form.
Stitchwraith Stinger #11[]
After Larson, travelling trough the memory world, finds the ball pit and jumps in it, he's taken to another memory, set in a junkyard. Here, Eleanor jumps out of a broken car and attacks him, but he manages to throw her into a trash compactor, weakening her in real life. 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. They have a final showdown in a factory building, where Eleanor seems to prevail over the detective.
In the real world, Jake has managed to get up and is getting closer to her. Eleanor attempts to keep him away with her tendrils, but Larson stops her by holding her down and strangling her. Jake uses his energy to heat her animatronic body until it burns, and then confines Eleanor into one of her memories, rendering her inoffensive and allowing Larson to wake up again. Eleanor's burnt up robotic body lays inanimate finally defeating her and avenging the people she tormented and killed.

Speculation[]
|
"I was the first! I have seen everything!"
This section archives a lot of theories and speculation, which usually occurs from pre-release media, or just things that are still unknown, so please keep that in mind while reading. The page will continue to be updated with the most accurate information as more solid evidence is supplied. |
- The girl that Jake rescued from the drug dealers is most likely the real homeless girl before Eleanor had snuck into the shed, had her removed, and stole her identity while Jake was out getting some food.
- Based on the ending lines of "The pendant was dazzling" some have theorized Eleanor isn't quite done yet, and may return.
- There have been many theories about her true identity, with the the main being revealed that she is a being or entity created out of agony based on her connection to the ball pit, agony, and remnant.
- There is a theory that Eleanor's form before the events of the Stitchwraith Stingers being Into the Pit's Yellow Rabbit. This is based on both originating from the ball pit in some way, making a illusion to disguise as someone else, and affecting memories hidden in the ball pit. Some have also pointed out in the cover art for Fazbear Frights #1, Spring Bonnie is crying black tears, similar to Eleanor's black tendrils as seen in the final Stinger.
- This theory got seemingly debunked in Return to the Pit where Eleanor and the Yellow Rabbit are both seen in Freddy's basement, at the same time.
- Eleanor's origin is theorized to have been a robotic android created by Dr. Talbert to have a illusion of his daughter with him, similar to Charlotte Emily from the Novel trilogy. Proof for this theory comes from Eleanor's very human-like appearance and her ability to appear as a real human, and the name Eleanor being a different version of Ella, who in the novel trilogy is one of the Charlie robots as well as a doll kept inside the Charlie we follow throughout the three books.
- Another possibility is that she is actually this timeline's version of the Charlie androids hence the name Ella who was the name of a Charlotte's childhood toy.
- Eleanor is theorized to have been the cause of many more stories than the ones mentioned in the Stingers.
- In the 10th Stinger, Eleanor appears in a flashback where she jumps out of William Afton's chest as he was in his comalike state. This implies that Eleanor is somehow involved with William's survival after the fire, but it's still unclear how. This also implies that Eleanor was the second entity that the three nurses had mentioned fighting with Andrew in The Man in Room 1280. This would also explain the evil mentioned in the story's description, and in the story as a whole.
- There are theories that suggest Eleanor was the one pulling the strings this entire time, with William Afton being her puppet.
- There is a theory Eleanor is Shadow Bonnie in the FNaF game continuity as well. The most notable piece of evidence used by believers of this theory is Eleanor seemingly being the identity of Shadow Bonnie in the story Hide-and-Seek.
- She could also be Shadow Freddy if this is the case.
- However, while there's evidence of Agony existing in someway in the game's timeline with Shadow Remnant, the most logical would be that Eleanor secretly took Toby's anger and rage when he destroyed the Hide and Seek game and later attached it to his back.
- Although uncannon, Eleanor is also theorized to be the shadow in "You're the Band" from the cancelled book Felix the Shark.
- She could also be Shadow Freddy if this is the case.
- Another theory about her identity proposes that she is a demonic entity, this is based on her behavior fitting that of a demon, many references to hell, demonic entities and occult topics in stories she's involved with. And even people comparing her to the demon Malthus from the Annabelle movies. There can also be a connection with the infamous supernatural creature known as Slenderman, given that she shares similar traits with him: her having a skinny shape that almost appears skeletal, which fits with the Tall Man's physique. She giving people nightmares (mainly only Sarah), a trait connecting to one of Slenderman's paranormal effects. Eleanor having tendrils spring-out of her body connects with the Slenderman having tentacles come out of his back, legs and hands. And finally, having her camouflage into the background of pictures othat showed who would disappear because of her is an obvious reference to the first two pictures that started out the Slenderman phenomenon.
- In both cases, it leads to the belief Scott Cawthon might have been inspired by one or the other.
- Some people have theorized the weird tendrils seen in Security Breach's Freddy & Friends: On Tour! cartoon are the same ones Eleanor uses in the final Stinger.
- It was later revealed that the tendrils belonged to Tangle.
- It is theorized that the necklace she wears is an illusion disc, which may or may not be confirmed by The Ultimate Guide.
- However it was confirmed in Stinger #11 that the pendant was infused with remnant that could save lives.
- Some people believe Eleanor is back again since her heart-shaped pendant appeared again in the Tales from the Pizzaplex series in the Frailty story, during the Pizzaplex era.
Trivia[]
- Alongside Spring Bonnie and Funtime Freddy, Eleanor is one of the animatronics whose illustration was removed from the book due to lacking color.
- Eleanor's name is actually a variation of the name Ella, name of another character, who Eleanor was using in the story 1:35 A.M., originally appearing in the novel trilogy.
- Coincidentally, Eleanor was the being haunting Delilah in that same story, as confirmed by Stinger #10.
- The heart-shaped pendant appeared again in the Tales from the Pizzaplex series in the Frailty story. The protagonist, Jessica, dies just like Sarah.
- In the Polish book trailers by Feeria Young, Eleanor's design noticeably looks like a combination of Circus Baby and Ballora's designs from the main game series.
