2	* '''Straight''': Eleanor is a GentleGiant, and [[TheHighQueen leads her elephant herd with wisdom and kindness.]]
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Eleanor is the undisputed Queen of the Beasts.
4	* '''Downplayed''':
5	** Eleanor is fairly serious and sensible.
6	** [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Eleanor is usually sensible and good-natured, but she does have flaws and can sometimes be selfish.]]
7	* '''Justified''': Elephants are intelligent creatures, with a very complex social structure.
8	* '''Inverted''':
9	** Eleanor likes to spend her time [[LonersAreFreaks alone]], trampling anything and anyone in her path and eating humans' crops.
10	** Eleanor is a CruelElephant
11	* '''Subverted''': Eleanor turn out to be not as kind as she seems.
12	* '''Double Subverted''':
13	** But she is really a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, and[=/=]or always defers to the matriarch of her herd.
14	** Alternatively, Eleanor ''seems'' to be doing something mean, but it's to [[MamaBear protect her calf]] or [[IDidWhatIHadToDo otherwise prevent harm]].
15	* '''Parodied''': Eleanor forces all of the other creatures of the savannah to have a dainty tea party with her in her garden as baroque music plays.

17	* '''Averted''':
18	** Elephants are not treated any differently than any other animal.
19	** No elephants mentioned in this particular work.
20	* '''Enforced''': "We admire these large, yet complex animals. Let's write a story about them!"
21	* '''Lampshaded''': "Wow, Eleanor, you sure are wise. Is it because you never forget?"
22	* '''Invoked''': Eleanor is chosen to be the matriarch of her herd.
23	* '''Exploited''': The local creatures live together in peace and harmony due to Eleanor's leadership, so the BigBad tries to assassinate her.
24	* '''Defied''': Eleanor is [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen a terrible leader]], and cares more about getting food and access to the best bulls than about the well-being of her family.
25	* '''Discussed''': "Elephants are such beautiful creatures!"
26	* '''Conversed''': "But watch out; sometimes it pays to BewareTheNiceOnes."
27	* '''Implied''': Eleanor never appears, but the other animals speak well of her.
28	* '''Deconstructed''': A human assuming elephants are nice is promptly trampled, as they are wild animals.
