Elinor Fairmont from First Kill
Elinor Fairmont (Gracie Dzienny) is an antagonistic character in Netflix’s First Kill. Based on the short story by V.E. Schwab, the plot centers on two enemies: Calliope and Juliette. As the title suggests, each must carry out their first kill — Calliope must kill her first monster and Juliette must feed from her first victim — but they fall for each other instead. Elinor is Juliette’s older sister, a Legacy vampire with the power to control minds. Unlike her younger sister, Elinor sees nothing wrong with killing humans. She tries to encourage Juliette to give into her true nature and make her first kill. But it’s revealed her intentions have been sinister and self-centered.
