Description
Eleanor is a young peasant girl who becomes Thomas of Hookton's wife in the book Harlequin (from The Grail Quest by Bernard Cornwell), in the sequel (Vagabond), she is murder by Guy Vexille, Thomas's cousin, and Thomas tortures himself for not having protected her and swears revenge against her killer.
Cornwell doesn't make a detailed description about Eleanor, as he does about the other women of the trilogy (Jeanette and Genevieve). He only says she is a beautiful 15 years old blond girl who uses a light blue simple dress, and when Thomas saves her for a rape, he tell her to say to everyone she is an archer's woman, giving his long black arch yew to her to carry as a form of security. As she is a bastard daughter of sir Guilhaume d'Evecque, I give to her beautiful blue eyes as her father in the book.
To make her dress, I use a simple kirtle, since she is a servant in her father's house. And use Amanda Seyfried's Red Riding Hood dress as the main reference to a peasant light blue dress with ribbons to tie the neckline (during almost rape, the aggressor had ripped the front of her dress, and after Thoma's rescue, she ties the laces torn to close it).
c. 1347
