Queen Elinor is a character who appears in the fifth season of the ABC fantasy-drama series Once Upon a Time. She is the mother to Merida, Harris, Hubert and Hamish, and the wife to the late king of BunBroch, King Fergus.
She is based on the character of the same name from Disney/Pixar's Brave.
History[]
Ten years after the events of Brave, Elinor's husband, Fergus is slain in a battle with invaders from Camelot, widowing her and leaving her daughter Merida to be the queen of DunBroch. However, the clans do not think a woman can rule on her own, and rebel by kidnapping Harris, Hubert, and Hamish. However, after several months of questing, Merida and her new friend, Belle save the boys and take them back home.
She makes her first official appearance in "The Bear King". Elinor presents Merida with the crown to rule DunBroch, but the ceremony is interrupted by the witch, who demands to be paid the price for the magic used by Fergus to win the battle. After Merida repays the debt, they try the ceremony again, and the witch interrupts again, this time wanting to allow Merida to see the one person who could not be at the coronation: her father.
