Ellington Feint

Ellington Feint is the secondary antagonist in Lemony Snicket's All the Wrong Questions. She is the daughter of Armstrong Feint and is madly devoted to him stopping at nothing to "rescue" him, she is also shown to be an extreme kleptomaniac who has ties to Inhumane Society.

Who could that be at this hour?
In the first novel she is presented as a friendly figure to Lemony Snicket and she explains to him her motives for her actions, telling him that she is attempting to rescue her father from the criminal mastermind Hangfire and has been tracking him for months in order to gain information on the whereabouts of her father. At this time she had also stolen a statue of the Bombinating Beast as she was aware of Hangfire's fascination with the creature. In order to avoid police suspicion she mails the statue to Black Cat Coffee where she intended on going to the next day to collect.

The following day she goes to Black Cat Coffee and meets Lemony Snicket once again who interrogates her on her actions and true motives where she tells him that Hangfire struck a deal with her to gain the statue in exchange for her father. Lemony despite his refusal to allow her to actually give Hangfire the statue decides to help her in the search for Armstrong.

Ellington tricks Snicket however and while the two are supposedly returning the statue she switches it for a decoy and takes the real statue for herself and is later seen sprinting into the forest presumably to find Hangfire.

When did you see her last
Shortly before this novel, Ellington meets Cleo Knight at Black Cat Coffee. They devise a plan in which Ellington would be disguised as Cleo, appearing around town telling residents that she is going to join the circus. To make the disguise more convincing, Cleo dyes Ellington's hair blond and bought her a striped trench coat similar to her own.

Ellington's first appearance in this book was when she made her way to a local grocery shop to buy cereal before heading to the home of Nurse Dander in hopes of finding out how Cleo made the impressive invisible ink which proved useful to various people. A suspicious Snicket ended up uncovering her disguise much to her anger and was shocked to find that was not a member of the Inhumane Society and actually a member of VFD.
