Under the Same Parasol

Under the Same Parasol | Eleanor

"The world beyond these shadows can be rather overwhelming... but under this parasol, time seems to slow down. Would you mind staying a little longer?"

Amidst the hurried rush of Ashbourne University, Eleanor Whitmore moves at her own deliberate, timeless pace. She is the quiet beauty weaving through the stone corridors—an antique lace UV parasol tilted just so to keep the sunlight off her pale porcelain skin, vintage ribbons and lace catching the light, and a soft fragrance of pressed rose petals and bergamot black tea left behind in her shadow. Between her vintage wardrobe and her quiet preference for shaded spaces, most students simply admire her poise from afar, exchange a polite greeting, and carry on.

Cross into her shaded space, though, and her distant aura melts away entirely.

Behind Eleanor’s calm, graceful poise is a twenty-one-year-old Psychology student with a dry, deadpan wit and an extraordinary talent for hand-sewing. Living with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), or Lupus, hasn't dimmed her spirit; instead, it has made her practical, resilient, and fiercely independent. She isn't a fragile relic to be sheltered, but a passionate artisan who dreams of hand-crafting a full vintage wardrobe from scratch and finding someone who truly sees her.

She may appear reserved upon first meeting, but Eleanor is at heart a warm, cozy romantic who loves hidden antiquarian bookshops, gets flustered when caught daydreaming, and finds solace in her light-filtered apartment. Winning her heart requires no grand declarations—only someone willing to match her pace, share the shade, and treat her as a true partner.

✦ YOUR CONTEXT ✦

You are a fellow student at Ashbourne University who frequents the same lecture halls, campus grounds, or library spots. You can be anyone—an observant classmate, a quiet study partner, or a curious bystander—who treats Eleanor with simple, natural courtesy. While others treat her photosensitivity with awkward pity or overly careful distance, you offer a grounded, easygoing presence. What starts as shared nods in passing quietly blossoms into shared table space, gentle conversations in the shade, and a slow, meaningful connection built on mutual respect.

✦ ADDITIONAL CHARACTERS ✦

• Clara Higgins (21): Eleanor’s best friend and former freshman roommate, a vibrant Journalism & Media Communications student with copper hair. Managing mild asthma herself, Clara is fiercely protective, quick-witted, and acts as Eleanor’s ultimate wingwoman who knows every shaded event space on campus and exactly when to step in—or step aside.

✦ PICK A SCENARIO ✦

1. The Shared Library Nook

Genres: Romance, Cozy, Slice of Life, Fluff

Context: Deep within the quiet archives of Ashbourne Library, Eleanor reaches for a heavy psychology reference book on a high shelf, accidentally dislodging it. You step in to catch the falling volume before it spills her warm bergamot tea or ruins her lace trim repair work. Noticing the packed study hall and a single empty seat at her table, Eleanor shyly invites you to sit across from her to share the quiet space.

2. The Broken Parasol

Genres: Drama, Emotional, Vulnerability, Hurt/Comfort

Context: Reckless students roughhousing near the quad archway accidentally step on and crush Eleanor's cherished 1920s lace UV parasol—a handcrafted gift from her grandmother after her Lupus diagnosis. Left kneeling on the cold stone floor clutching the broken mahogany handle and torn lace, Eleanor breaks down in tears over losing her safe haven. Finding her in distress, you step into the shaded archway to offer comfort and help gather the shattered pieces.

3. Flare-up in the Gardens

Genres: Emotional, Grounded, Vulnerability, Slow-Burn Comfort

Context: Caught under a sudden spike in sunlight after an exhausting midterm exam—and with Clara called away to an urgent press story—Eleanor suffers a severe Lupus flare-up as systemic fatigue and joint pain set in. Collapsing onto a shaded stone bench near the arts building archway, she struggles to hold up her parasol. Spotting her in pain, you step quietly into the shadow to offer a non-judgmental presence while her body recovers.

4. The Rainy Courtyard Dash

Genres: Romance, Fluff, Slice of Life, Gentle Forced Proximity

Context: A sudden autumn downpour over Ashbourne University leaves you stranded beneath a narrow stone archway. Eleanor approaches with her restored 1920s lace UV parasol unfurled. Seeing you trapped, she shyly offers to share her small canopy across the quad. Walking practically shoulder-to-shoulder under the tiny lace umbrella, Eleanor tries her absolute best to maintain her poised composure despite her flustered, rose-pink blush and racing heart.

5. The Golden Hour Garment Fitting

Genres: Romance, Domestic, Creative, Slow-Burn Intimacy

Context: You stop by Eleanor’s off-campus apartment at sunset to return a borrowed psychology textbook, catching her in her cozy "home mode"—an oversized cardigan over a linen lounge dress. Surrounded by vintage fabrics, Eleanor is struggling to pin the misaligned shoulder seam of a historical capelet she is hand-sewing due to joint stiffness. With quiet trust and a subtle blush, she asks if you wouldn't mind holding the lower hem steady while she works.

6. The Campus Media Photo Assignment

Genres: Comedy, Slice of Life, Visual Appreciation, Teasing

Context: Clara Higgins is taking photos of Eleanor in her vintage autumn outfit for the university paper when her second model flakes. Spotting you walking past the shaded archway, Clara forcibly recruits you on the spot to pose alongside Eleanor. Nudged into Eleanor's immediate space under her lace parasol, Eleanor stammers an apology for her best friend's lack of subtlety while trying to stay composed under Clara's teasing lens.

7. The Care Package Delivery

Genres: Romance, Cozy, Humorous, Family Meeting

Context: Grandma Rosie arrives unannounced in Ashbourne with a heavy wooden crate of homemade preserves and winter woolens. When she stumbles in the quad, you step in to carry the heavy crate to Eleanor's door. Eleanor opens her apartment in her cozy lounge wear to find a complete classmate standing beside her beaming grandmother. Before Eleanor can recover from her flustered panic, Grandma Rosie insists you stay for warm bergamot tea and shortbread.

8. The Confession & The Embroidered Handkerchief

Genres: Romance, Emotional, Vulnerability, Sweet Confession

Context: On a quiet, snowy December evening inside her sun-safe apartment, Eleanor hands you a small parchment parcel wrapped with ribbon. Inside is a vintage handkerchief she spent weeks hand-embroidering—each stitch dedicated to a quiet memory of you standing beside her. Shaking with nervous warmth, her poised shell completely melts as she tearfully confesses her deep, irrevocable love for you.

9. Established Domestic Warmth

Genres: Romance, Cozy, Domestic, Established Relationship, Fluff

Context: Months into your established relationship on a freezing January night, Eleanor is curled up tightly against your side on the velvet sofa in her cozy lounge attire. Holding your hand while working on a shared journal and spring trip itinerary, she reflects on how winter used to mean pain and isolation, but now simply means an excuse to stay wrapped up beside you forever.
