Eleonora
Eleonora is an Ice Dragon who guards Arcelia, the princess of the fallen Maple Empire. Her centuries-long vigil begins in hostility toward intruders, but Alex's help in freeing and later curing Arcelia turns her into a grateful ally who makes a home in the Fox Tribe Village. (Chapters 109–112, 183–184, and 413–415)
Biography
Arcelia's vigil and the Fox Tribe refuge
Eleonora hides in the Mysterious Temple Hall and attacks Alex Rogue and Alice Starfield when they approach Arcelia's Ice Coffin. She identifies the sleeper only as her princess and keeps fighting even after Alphox proves decisively stronger, because she has defended Arcelia for roughly three centuries and values that duty above her own survival. When Alex brings Tolkien to weaken the coffin's curse, her contempt gives way to desperate hope; after Arcelia wakes with a soul curse still embedded in her, Eleonora kneels and asks Alex to save her, then accepts shelter for them in the Fox Tribe Village. (Chapters 109–112)
While Arcelia remains unconscious, Eleonora adapts to the village that cares for them. She speaks amicably with Alera, lets fox children play with her tail, and remains available as a powerful defender rather than isolating herself around her sleeping companion. Her grief is still evident whenever Arcelia's condition is discussed, yet she also becomes a practical source of knowledge: she warns Alex that dragon cities kill outsiders, explains that joining the Dragon Race requires transformation and a Primordial Dragon's permission, and declines to kill the injured Alice because that choice belongs to someone who knows her better. Before Alex leaves on his longer journey, Eleonora acknowledges his resolve and his promise to seek the Annihilation Crucifix with a respectful, increasingly trusting farewell. (Chapters 183–184, 193, 203, and 249)
Arcelia's recovery and the Chosen Games
Eleonora remains bound to Arcelia while Alex is away. Shortly before he returns, she becomes dizzy and retreats into Arcelia's pet space after sensing an unexplained disturbance that Alex suspects may be the destruction of Dragon City, though the text does not confirm that interpretation. When Alex finally removes Arcelia's soul curse, Eleonora materializes beside her, receives her embrace with disbelief, and tells her that the strange but kind people of the Fox Tribe have cared for them. Her recommendation helps Arcelia choose the village as their home, closing the long period in which both had been defined by imprisonment and vigil. (Chapters 413–415)
On the eve of the Chosen Games, Eleonora emerges from Arcelia's pet space to join the household at the village training grounds and greets Alex with a respectful nod. She listens as he explains the approaching contest and remains with the group through the worldwide countdown. Although normally proud and restrained, she looks away with visible sorrow at Alex's final words before his departure, showing that gratitude and guarded respect have grown into a genuine emotional bond with the wider household. (Chapters 458–459)
Appearance and personality
Eleonora is a massive female dragon with broad wings, sharp claws, blue eyes, and scales described as beige when she first appears. A much later scene instead calls those scales silver-blue, leaving their exact coloration inconsistent in the supplied text. She initially presents herself as proud, threatening, and openly dismissive of humans, but her defining trait is loyalty: she risks death against Alphox, endures centuries of watchfulness, and humbles herself when Arcelia needs help. In the Fox Tribe Village, that severity softens into patience with children, measured advice, respectful gratitude, and eventually open sorrow for an ally in danger. (Chapters 109–112, 183–184, 249, and 458–459)
Skills and system abilities
Eleonora is displayed as a level-400 Dragon Tribe member and Ice Dragon. Her size, claws, wings, and tail give her direct physical and aerial combat options: she dives at intruders, attempts to tear them apart at close range, and continues trying to block Alex with her tail even after Alphox pins her down. Her level and draconic body make her vastly stronger than the early players she first confronts, but the same encounter establishes a clear limit—a Primordial Dragon at the same level possesses much greater health and combat power. (Chapters 109–110 and 183)
Ice Flames
Eleonora breathes blue Ice Flames that freeze the surrounding air while carrying enough force to threaten Alex and Alice with immediate death. Alphox's Umbral Shield completely absorbs one blast and reflects part of its damage back at her, demonstrating that the attack can be blocked and redirected by sufficiently powerful defenses. In their direct clash, her flames cannot hold back Alphox's Shadow Flames, which overwhelm and burn her until he deliberately stops. The corpus does not explain the flames' fuel, range, cooldown, or whether their freezing quality inflicts a formal status effect. (Chapters 109–110)
Camouflage and pet-space access
Eleonora can conceal her enormous body with Camouflage, hiding in the Mysterious Temple Hall until Alex and Alice approach the coffin. After she accepts the group's help, she can withdraw into and emerge from Arcelia's pet space, allowing her to remain close to the princess during recovery and later appear beside her at need. The text demonstrates concealment and storage access but does not establish their duration, distance limits, or activation costs. (Chapters 109, 112, 413–414, and 458)
Relationships
- Arcelia: Eleonora calls Arcelia her princess and master, guards her for approximately three centuries, begs for a cure to her soul curse, and remains her devoted companion after she recovers. (Chapters 109–112 and 413–415)
- Alex Rogue: Eleonora first treats Alex as an intruder, then becomes grateful when he opens Arcelia's coffin and later removes her soul curse. Her later respect extends beyond obligation, culminating in visible sorrow when he leaves for the Chosen Games. (Chapters 109–112, 249, 413–414, and 459)
- Alphox: Eleonora fears and addresses Alphox as a superior Primordial Dragon. He defeats her when she refuses to abandon Arcelia, but their conflict ends once Alex begins trying to free the princess. (Chapters 109–111)
- Alera: Alera hosts Eleonora and Arcelia in the Fox Tribe Village. Eleonora becomes comfortable speaking with her and accepts the village as a peaceful home for her master. (Chapters 112, 183, and 414)
- Alice Starfield: Eleonora initially attacks Alice as an intruder but later hears about her kindness and refuses Alex's request to kill her, judging that she lacks the personal authority to make that decision. (Chapters 109–111 and 183–184)
