Eleanor Hume

Eleanor Hume (エレノア・ヒューム) is a protagonist in Tales of Berseria. She lost her precious ones during the Scarlet Night, which occurred three years prior to the events of the story. Some time after, she decided to join the Abbey, specifically their assault division of Exorcists. During her extermination of Daemons, she encounters Velvet Crowe on several occasions.

History
Earlier in her life, Eleanor joined an anti-Daemon group who used the powers of Malaks as familiars to aid in their tasks. She took up this task due to having a dreadful past and did not want to see anyone else she knew die before her eyes.

Appearance and Personality
Eleanor has fair skin, grass-green eyes, and long, bright-red hair with alternating streaks of a peach-pink that is tied into long twin-tails by two spiky teal hairbands that end with orange, parallel-laced ribbons. Her fringes are placed toward the side, revealing her forehead. Her outfit consists of a mid-length dress with multiple layers of white ruffles and matching long boots. Both have a golden-orange pattern with a form of insignia on them, and her dress has an extending flap that stems from the collar and through the midpoint of her outfit.

Over her dress, she wears a long-sleeved blue jacket of variant shades. The jacket's length is short and reaches her upper waist. It has the same lacing as her dress, as well as multiple buttons and a meandering orange shape at the wrists, which is finished off finger-less gloves that resemble an artifact of the Shepherd. Personality-wise, Eleanor is naturally a kindhearted woman who would do anything to make the people of the land happy. She is sophisticated in manners, both expressive and tonal in her speech, and she projects a light, feminine voice. Her personality changes slightly to being more aggressive to those who mock, look down upon, or scorn the Abbey and its Exorcists.

Fighting Style
Eleanor's class and battle type are written as "anti-demon" or "expel demon" master, otherwise known as a praetor-rank Exorcist. Unlike many other spear-users, she wields her lance like a battlestaff and attacks with the motion of a sword. Her fighting style consists of a variation between close- and mid-ranged attacks. She uses a staff-like spear in close-combat while commanding a Malak, Bienfu, in battle. When Eleanor has enough Soul in her Soul Gauge, she can activate her Break Soul called Aerial Strike (エリアルストラッシュ), in which she launches the enemy into air and can link to an aerial combo. Eleanor has a number of artes that allow her to reach enemies high in the air and a variety of air-based moves. Her Switch Blast is Break Roll.
