Eleanor Miller is a strong-willed female who has a take charge attitude. When their mother is in labor after their harrowing struggle with the Hatrack River, she gives orders that everyone obeys as she helps their mother go to the Guester's house. Despite her young age at the time, everyone listens, stops fighting, and unifies as a family. Eventually, she marries Armor Weaver, who is highly religious and eventually turns on his wife for her "witchcraft."
