Overview
| “ | Don't struggle, my dear. The less you struggle, the longer you'll last, and we do so want you to last. | ” |
| — Lady Worthing, speaking to her victim, Maggie | ||
The wife of Lord Worthing, Lady Worthing regularly used her powers to benefit her husband's business dealings. All the while, she worked with Mr. Smiles to hunt down and kill or capture victims from whom the two could extract fear-based Glamour. Lady Worthing would then utilize her connections among the elite and her Contracts to stifle investigations such as that of Detective Inspector Simmons.
Her and Smiles's eventual plan was to acquire from Lord Worthing all they needed before disposing of him.
Speculation
Due to the fear-based focus of their work, it is likely that she and Mr Smiles are Autumn courtiers. Further, due to her description as "darkly attractive" and "graceful, feminine", Eleanor Worthing is probably a Fairest of some kind.
