Enola is a young, determined girl who began confused as to why
her mother had left. She had been brought up differently to how
most girls grew up during that time, and liked defending herself
and what she believed in, which was not well seen by people like
her own brother, Mycroft. During the film, we can see that Enola is
smart, able to solve mysteries faster than her famous older
brother, Sherlock and capable of defending herself, while helping
others in the process, such as Tewkesbury. She is caring and
passionate, willing to take on big risks for people she holds close to
her, like jumping out of a train and advancing towards Dowager
Lady Basilwether even when she had a gun pointed at her. Enola
grows up a lot during her tough experience, and shows maturity
(sometimes a little bit of immaturity), determination, and self-
esteem. She recognizes herself as a detective even at a young age,
and knows she is in charge of her life, which was not often the case
in those days.
AGENTS OF
SOCIALIZATION
Enola was raised by her single mother, Eudoria until she turned
sixteen. From her mother, she learned a mix of knowledge in
literature, science to martial arts and all forms of combats that would
ready her in life.

The fourth-wall breaking Enola (“alone” spell backwards) is the


youngest of three children. Her father died when she was very young
and she has few memories of her two older brothers before they
moved out of the family home. Enola’s mother Eudoria Holmes
(Helena Bonham Carter) raised and homeschooled her daughter. She
taught Enola—a fervent reader of both books and newspapers—
history, science, and other studies. Enola is highly intelligent and
perceptive, much like her famous brother Sherlock.

She’s also physically fit and a trained martial artist, skills she also
learned from her mother. Despite her seemingly small stature, Enola
is quite the fighter.
OVERALL
IDENTITY
Unlike her well-known sibling Sherlock Holmes,
Enola is also kind-hearted and loving. She will put
herself at risk to help those in danger. However,
Enola was not prepared for the outside world. She
is smart and knowledgeable on a wide range of
matters, but she lived a sheltered life with her
mother.
Enola is also excellent at deciphering anagrams,
which Eudoria frequently uses to communicate
with both others and her daughter. And she even
has knowledge of explosives, which helped save
her life in the first film.
She has opened her own detective agency
because she wants to rise above the giant
shadow of her brother Sherlock Holmes and
forge her own path. But the thing is, apart
from solving the case she gets, Enola also has
to fight the misogyny that she finds on every
step of her journey. The film is set in 1884. A
time where social etiquette and expectations
of women were, in some ways, very different
from today. Enola, being a member of the
Holmes family is, of course, far from
‘normal’, and is not exactly what society at
that time would call a perfect lady…in fact,
she would barely make the title of being
ladylike…
