Name: Eleanor Willoughby Alias: The Headmistress Country of employ: Russia Country of actual employ if other than above: Country of actual actual employ if different from either of above: Gender: Female Age: She is timeless, and it would be presumptuous to say otherwise. Motivation (read as, why he/she became a spy - could be accidental): She has a terrible fondness for nice things, beyond what her official income can support. Weapon of choice: The right word in the right ear. Gadget of choice: The Jura Impressa J9.3 One Touch TFT. No, it has nothing to do with spying, but a great deal to do with her motivation. Vehicle of choice (air, sea, land, etc.): Black cab. Whatever other travel arrangements are made, chances are that the words "first class" will be somewhere in the description. Opinion on 007 (please specify incarnation): All versions of James Bond are so horribly déclassé that she would never admit to any amount of familiarity. Reason for wanting to attend our convention (read as, travel to England): She lives in London already. She would like to familiarize herself with the features of the latest bugs and wiretapping equipment. More importantly, she needs somewhere inconspicuous to get away from her relatives. Medical condition (if any): Migraines at the slightest suggestion she should spend the holidays with her family. General demeanour: Haughty. Ultimate goal: Professional: To know where all the bodies are buried and obtain substantial remuneration for that information. Ultimate goal: Personal: To outlive her parents and recover from their sincere pity. They express no pride in her career because they're too busy feeling sorry for her, poor thing, who had to have a career instead of a husband to take care of her. Plot line you would like to see if I can manage it: One parent or set of parents follows her, wanting to privately make a case for the acceptance of their child into her school. Your call how they try to do this — money? power? chocolate? sex? And how does it throw off her timing, trying to accomplish her ends while still not making a bad impression on these people who might talk about her or even blackmail her? Other notes/observations (go wild!): She runs a very prestigious school, one that makes parents very competitive when trying to get their child accepted. This gives her the chance to monitor a lot of gossip, know the comings and goings of various important parents, and from time to time pick up information from the unguarded speech of children. She has bugs, wire taps, and informants of her own. People assume that her desire to know what is happening with whom and when stems from a desire to maintain the prestige and image of the school.
