Eleanor Lamb

Eleanor Althea Lamb, also known as Big Sister, Eleanor Lamb and Little Sister, is a character from the BioShock series.
== Charactah Account ==
Eleanor Lamb is the daughter of Sofia Lamb and a previous Little Sister in Rapture. Roughly ten years after the 1958 New Year's Eve Riots, she contacts Subject Delta, beginning the events of BioShock 2. Eleanor still remembers Delta after ten years and knows he is searching for her.
Throughout the course of the game, Eleanor will mentally communicate with him through their pair bond connection and leave him gifts and messages written on the walls of the city. In the story of BioShock 2, her behavior and personality is highly influenced by Delta's actions towards the Little Sisters and NPCs.

== Trivia ==
* Originally, Eleanor was meant to be the main Big Sister the player must deal with through the game, but the concept was scrapped at the last minute. Creative Director, Jordan Thomas, found that not only was the twist too predictable, but the character would have done too many terrible things for the player to emotionally connect with her, especially after the multiple encounter battles. This would explain why her appearance in the Outer Persephone quarantine chamber resembles the suitless Big Sister from the BioShock 2: Sea Of Dreams teaser trailer, although with a last minute alteration to her head that doesn't match the skin color of the rest of her body.
* Although her real father is never mentioned in-game, a removed ADAM message from Eleanor revealed that Delta was her biological father. The file was unused by the developers, but would have stated that Sofia Lamb bought Delta's DNA while he was imprisoned in Persephone. Sofia did not explicitly choose Delta; she simply needed the seed by which she could make Eleanor.
** However, another unused file shows they also planned to make it clear Eleanor was not Delta's daughter. 
* The memory vision seen after dealing with the second Little Sister in Dionysus Park is flawed. It starts showing a regular Little Sister, supposed to be Eleanor, and ends using Eleanor's actual child model.
* In the Quarantine Chamber cutscene, the necklace that Eleanor wears features an Odal rune. Traditionally this rune mainly stands for inheritance, and it may symbolize Eleanor inheriting her mother's work and goals, or how Eleanor's personality changes based upon Subject Delta's actions in events of BioShock 2. This also makes more sense by Delta's name, the greek letter Delta, being used in maths for change.
* According to an Unused Radio Message from Outer Persephone, Eleanor's full name is given as "Eleanor Althea Lamb". "Althea" is a commonly used English name of Greek origin meaning "healing" or “wholesome” - though in the context of BioShock 2 it may refer to the poem To Althea, from Prison, which includes the famous quote "Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars a cage".
* Eleanor speaks with an upper-class London accent.
* Despite the Little Sister seeing the Big Sisters as princesses (evident by the player seeing the Big Sister suit parts as a princess dress when controlling a Little Sister in Outer Persephone), Eleanor does not take that appearance when putting on the Big Sister suit, even though the player still sees Rapture through the eyes of the Little Sister.
