Eleonora

She leads Boat Song of the Bird Maiden (Harpy), a guild renowned for its wealth and formal privileges. Despite being smaller in scale than the rival Scales of the Water Dragon, her guild holds the most money and authority among the three great water‑transport guilds.

She serves as a member of the Old Capital Council. She is recognized as one of the three dominant water‑transport guild masters in the city.

Boat Song of the Bird Maiden is a financial powerhouse with strong political backing. Its influence often outstrips larger rivals due to its concentrated capital and formal rights.

Her mother possessed the same alluring beauty and once used it to poach talented personnel from the rival Golden Willow Skiff. This legacy shaped the guild’s reputation for aggressively attracting top talent.

Unlike her mother, Eleonora is extremely shy and inexperienced in romance. She follows the long‑standing custom of female masters of Boat Song of the Bird Maiden by using her beauty to draw work and talent, though she has held hands with men only a handful of times.

She frequently met Nikolaus at Nobu but felt uneasy, fearing his gentle demeanor toward women would see through her shyness. While eating a saury dish under the influence of chilled sake, she blurted that the eating style was wasteful, and his suggestion to make “Saury Rice” helped them quickly warm to each other.

Moved by their rapport, she later scouted Nikolaus into her guild. She appointed him as her direct secretary, and their daily collaboration became close and highly trusted.

Her favorite drink is chilled sake, paired with foods that complement it. At Nobu she often orders fish dishes, and after hiring Nikolaus she typically chooses dishes meant for two when dining with him.

As one of the three great water‑transport guild leaders, she commands significant authority in trade and logistics. Her guild’s wealth and privileges make her a central figure in the city’s mercantile politics.
