'Twinned naginata forged in the Land of Reeds. Chosen weapon of Eleonora, Violet Bloody Finger. Her mastery of the sword was such that her onslaught was likened to a whirlwind, but now her legacy is stained by accursed blood.' Eleonora is the canon's most accomplished Bloody Finger, a warrior of the Land of Reeds, the eastern country of samurai whose Nagakiba and Uchigatana define the canonical sword discipline. Her chosen weapon is the twinned naginata Eleonora's Poleblade, a polearm that demands a martial vocabulary the rest of the Bloody Fingers do not possess. Her name is whispered before her arrival because the surface bears no other invader who can sustain a duel against a hardened Tarnished.

'Jagged dagger with a distinctive curved blade. Used by the noble servants of the Lord of Blood. This dagger rips the flesh as it enters, inflicting blood loss with sickening efficacy. A proud testament to the success of its vicious design, this weapon is perpetually coated in blood.' Eleonora's tragedy is canonical and brief : she swore herself to Mohg, the Lord of Blood, took the violet finger as her sigil, and the canon records the loss in a single phrase, her legacy is stained by accursed blood. Her mastery survives the corruption ; her name does not. She invades a Tarnished in the Second Church of Marika, fights with the precision of an unfallen samurai for ninety seconds, and dies still moving. The Bloody Finger Hunter Yura, the canon's other Land of Reeds samurai, is sometimes summoned to her duel as a ghost, and arrives, in life or in death, to mourn the woman whose tempest he had heard of in his own first country.
