In Eleonora's own words, she is a wolf and wolves don't give up on the mission they either finish the mission or have to be killed those are the only two options. Her longtime partner John disagrees with this sentiment as while she struggled with emotions, she is capable of love and states quite firmly that Mary does love her daughters even Eleonora.

## Etymology

* Mary, which is the usual English form of *Maria*, the Latin form of the New Testament Greek names *Μαριάμ (Mariam)* and *Μαρία (Maria)* — the spellings are interchangeable — which were from Hebrew *מִרְיָם (Miryam)*, a name borne by the sister of Moses in the Old Testament. The meaning is not known for certain, but there are several theories including "sea of bitterness", "rebelliousness", and "wished for child". However, it was most likely originally an Egyptian name, perhaps derived in part from *mry* "beloved" or *mr* "love".
* Rose was originally a Norman French form of the Germanic name *Hrodohaidis* meaning "famous type", composed of the elements *hruod* "fame" and *heit* "kind, sort, type". The Normans introduced it to England in the forms *Roese* and *Rohese*. From an early date it was associated with the word for the fragrant flower *rose* (derived from Latin *rosa*). When the name was revived in the 19th century, it was probably with the flower in mind.
* Astrug is a variant derived from Provençal *astruc* "lucky", ultimately from Greek *aster* "star" and thus having the extended meaning of "born under a good star". It was generally given as an amuletic name and sometimes used as a translation of Hebrew Mazel Tov and/or Gad which means "fortune, luck" in Hebrew.
