Eleanor Varrot

Eleanor Varrot is a major supporting character in Valkyria Chronicles.

Appearance
Eleanor 'Elle' Varrot is a well kept woman with neat black hair put up in a bun on the back of her head. She has sharp green eyes, a pair of glasses and wears a Gallian militia uniform, with an additional short red cape and high ranking captain hats.

History
Eleanor Varrot joined the Gallian Military during the first Europan War as a sniper, working alongside squad mates Largo Potter and Frederic Klein.

She would constantly bicker with Largo over minor disagreements on their personal outlooks. Over time, constantly facing death down together Largo slowly began to develop feelings for her, although Eleanor was unaware. Largo didn't tell her, as he was aware Frederic and Eleanor liked one another and stood aside. Their romance blossomed on the battlefield, with the two even getting engaged.

However tragedy struck when Frederic was taken prisoner by Imperial Soldiers. He was tortured and eventually killed by Giorgios Geld. This action deeply affected Eleanor who decided to stay in the military after the conclusion of the first war, rising in ranks, in order to eventually get revenge upon the man who killed her lover. Largo, for his part, remained by Eleanor's side, choosing to turn down promotion in order to stay under her command.

When the second Europan War II erupted, Eleanor Varrot was placed in charge of the Gallian Militia, often dealing with General Damon who looks down upon the militian soldiers as unrefined and easily replaceable. Eleanor placed Welkin Gunther, the son of a hero of the first Europan War as the squadron leader of Squad 7.

Eventually Eleanor finds Giorgios Geld holding up Gallian civilians in another torture situation. She gives the order to save the hostages and kill or capture all of the Imperials inside, but she appears to be more blood-thirsty than before. When Squad 7 manage to capture Geld, Varrot declares that she herself will execute the man without trial. Whilst Welkin, Alicia and Rosie attempt to talk her out of it as this is a war crime, Largo is the one who snaps her out of it by slapping her across the face and reminding her that Frederic was not the type of man who would wish to see Eleanor in such a state. Eleanor breaks down, and Largo comforts her telling her that they have to live their lives and no matter what they do they cannot bring Frederic back. They need to trust the justice system will deal with Geld appropriately for his crimes.

Eleanor thanks Largo for always watching over her and preventing her from doing something terrible, with Largo telling her he'd always watch over her if she let him. This tender moment is interrupted by Rosie and Welkin coming to talk to them, with Rosie teasing Largo for finally admitting his feelings.

After the second Europan War ends, Varrot leaves the military and marries Largo with the two happily married and working on Largo's farm together, providing vegetables to all of Gallia.
