***The Adventures of Evie and Mya***, also referred to as ***Evie and Mya*** or ***EaM***, is a fanfiction series written by Potato Flakin that started airing in October 2020, eventually ending in May 2022. It has three seasons, two side-series, various special episodes, and a feature-length movie.

## Synopsis

### Season 1

*Evie Ly and her best friend Mya Heartley are just seemingly two average middle schoolers living in the town of Pineshadow, Washington. However, upon encountering the lonesome and short-tempered Winterlyn "Winter" McCormick, fateful secrets come to light, and it's up to the two to save her from a former flame before it's too late.*

*Set in the late winter Washington season, both Evie and Mya, 13, also learn to navigate themselves as they grow, fighting insecurity, fears, truths, and understanding something special - the own link that they've shared since their childhood.*

### Season 2

*Things are looking up in Pineshadow as Evie and Mya, now girlfriends, prepare for a return to school with Winter. Despite things seeming promising, a devil in disguise takes control of the school - and begins to target the defiant three. When it is revealed that one of their friends is enslaved by a monster, Evie, Mya, and Winter work against time to save her and stop the devil within - causing romance and tensions to appear out of the blue.*

### Season 3

*Peace has seemingly returned in Pineshadow as the girls, nearly all of them now fourteen, enjoy their summer and the thought of no danger. However, when Mya's fateful curiosity draws her into the dangerous web spun by Harlow and Ivanna Parker, she gradually turns into a conniving, spoiled, and selfish queen feeding her grandparents' insidious ideas. With her parents deeply frazzled and relationships being torn apart at the seams, it's up to Evie, Winter, Amira, and Daniela to fight the ultimate war of their lives before the old Mya is destroyed for good - and before Pineshadow crumbles into ashes.*

## Cast

#### Evie Ly

**Evie Ophelia Ly** (**Peyton Elizabeth Lee**, **Abigail Zoe Lewis** as a child) is the fourteen-year old leader of the five girls, known as the Golden Gays, and designated as the most intelligent. She is persistent, possesses advanced knowledge and quick-thinking skills, and tough, but on the inside is soft and fond of those she loves. She is Mya's best friend and later girlfriend who seeks to protect her and make her happy even if she is sometimes in the wrong or doing something she disagrees with. Considered a perfectionist and a prodigy by many, Evie's success comes behind a dark truth, as she is heavily pressured by her tiger parent mother, Opal, into strictly achieving academically, to the point where she feels burdened by her Vietnamese-American heritage and wishes to only be normal.

Her mother also forces her to bottle up her emotions and intervenes in her social life, leaving Evie feeling like she has to live up to be the spitting image of her mother, further impacting her emotionally. Ultimately, the best in her shines through, as she defies Opal repeatedly with the help of Mya and her friends until she is no longer tiger parented at all. While Evie also sometimes comes in conflict with her leadership abilities, her raw courage and straight-to-the-point nature returns to her when she needs it most.

#### Mya Heartley

**Mya Elise Heartley** (**Dakota Fanning**) is fourteen, Evie's best friend, later girlfriend, and the most humorous of the Golden Gays. She contrasts Evie heavily in personality, being more easy-going, free-spirited, comedic, and energetic, aiming to bring out the best in her girlfriend and supporting her despite the challenges she faces from Evie's strict mother. She also doesn't come without her flaws, as her naivety can land her in trouble and put rifts between those she loves. Mya has struggled to make friends for years due to her outside-the-box and excited personality, and as such, makes her a victim to bullies such as Daniela. Her self-esteem can be very low at times, though it is boosted when Evie is there to back her up. In Season 1, she falls in love with Evie and struggles to control her rapidly-blossoming feelings for her, but with encouragement from Winter and her loved ones, she successfully appreciates herself for being bisexual; Evie would later end up reciprocating her feelings. Notably, Mya was the first to see the best in Winter and helped to bring it out in her, such as when she persuaded her to fight Daniela when the odds were against her.

In Season 3, after being manipulated and fed false information and grandeur by her antagonist paternal grandparents, Harlow and Ivanna, Mya betrays her friends and family and turns evil, seeking to rule Pineshadow as a queen when in reality, the Parkers have planned to use her in their schemes for power, revenge, and money. Just before she kills Evie on their command, her girlfriend makes her realize that she has gone too far and that her feelings for Evie outweigh the darkness in her heart. Mya betrays her grandparents and fights alongside her former bully, Daniela, to defeat them, earning the trust of those she loves once again.

#### Winterlyn "Winter" McCormick

**Winterlyn "Winter" Falin McCormick** (**Mae Whitman**; **Hala Finley** as a child) is thirteen and the bravest member of the Golden Gays, known for her hot temper and explosive fits of rage as well as the aloof, prideful, loner, and sometimes tender part of her personality. Originally born with a loving mother and father in a Jewish family, Winter lived what she describes as the perfect life. As she grew, she discovered that she was gender non-conforming as well as a lesbian, keeping this a secret from her father, implied to be a conservative, although the two would grow close following the death of her mother. One day at the park, she met a stranger, named Daniela, and they became fast friends. Later, they started dating, though due to Winter's reluctance to come out to her father, this placed a wedge in their relationship until Daniela couldn't take it anymore and forced her to come out. This would lead to her father brutally attacking her and branding her as a sin, forcing her to run away from the life she once knew. Winter lived a solitary life in a cabin within the Piney Woods while also maintaining her appearances at school, living under a belt of lies to prevent herself being exposed and sent to foster care.

However, her name went down in infamy when a bully branded her as "Snowblind" - exacerbated when now ex-girlfriend Daniela began to harass her violently, blaming her for their breakup and ruining her life - causing Winter to be ridiculed so much so that the majority of the school began to just know her as "Snowblind." Upon meeting Evie and Mya, she nearly murders the two, but starts to trust them and grows into being their best friends despite her fears that they'd hate her for loving Daniela. Daniela ramps up her attacks against her, which culmulates into her being stabbed at the school party. She is chased out of the school, but with encouragement and wisdom from Mya, Winter refuses to keep running from her past and defeats Daniela for good. In Season 2, she falls in love with Amira and becomes her girlfriend; shortly after the season, Daniela makes amends with her, apologizing for the damage she caused, allowing the two to start over as friends.

#### Amira Fleckenshire

**Amira Amadeo-Alvarez Fleckenshire** (**Zoe Saldaña**) is fourteen and the swiftest member of the Golden Gays. She is laid-back, sympathetic, understanding, and tenacious, in addition to wielding copious amounts of stamina. She first met Evie and Mya on Christmas night when they rescued her from Daniela's attempt to sway her into misdeeds. While she seems like any average girl, underneath her exterior is someone crying for help; she faced emotional and physical neglect from her parents since her birth, thought of as a liability and burden by her mother, Mikayla, and father, Braxton. She was also shoved away from her grandmother, Dahlia, who secretly adored her and wanted her granddaughter to live a proper, affectionate-filled life only to be pushed away by her mother each time. Depressed, Amira felt forced into being an adult and taught herself how to survive from a young age, wondering what love was like due to never feeling it and wishing for her family to embrace her Puerto Rican and Korean ancestry. She gained hope when her parents placed her in the care of her aunt, Shetani, but it was destroyed when Shetani revealed herself to be racist and homophobic - condemning her niece for being biracial and a lesbian.

Amira became a slave under her aunt's control and was repeatedly manipulated, gaslit, beaten, and abused, seen as never being good enough by Shetani, who was pleasured by the torture she put her through. Amira grew hopeless and despondent, pushed to the brink of suicide due to how bad the abuse was getting, though believed she could change her aunt, expressing such a desire through a song. However, shortly after meeting Winter, she caught romantic feelings for her and became her girlfriend, dating her in secret. When a hitman hired by her aunt nearly killed her, she finally realized that Shetani would never change and temporarily lived with Evie, whom she began to view as a sister figure. With her friends and girlfriend by her side, she gained the confidence and fire she needed to challenge Shetani, taking her down by a cliffside and sacrificing herself for Winter. Amira ended up surviving and reunited with her grandmother, firmly rejecting her parents and getting the life she always wanted.

#### Daniela "Dani" Burton Vunquist

**Daniela "Dani" Burton Vunquist** (**Eden Riegel**) is fourteen and the strongest member of the Golden Gays, deemed a warrior for her strength, intelligence, compassionate, and survivor nature. She believes that everyone is more than their mistakes and, like Evie, is also considered a prodigy for her advanced level of knowledge. When she was eleven, she met Winter and was quick to fall in love with her, discovering that she was bisexual. Their relationship went by smoothly under the radar for months, but unbeknownst to Winter, Daniela didn't like that their relationship was a secret from her father; when push came to shove, she abruptly forced her into coming out one November night, thinking she had done their love a favor. Instead, she caused Winter to be nearly killed. Horrified and traumatized by the subsequent events, Daniela fell into a bad depression, escalated by her mother neglecting her mental health, bullies picking on her, panic attacks, and terrifying nightmares. Shoved to her breaking point, Daniela snapped when she found out her mother had chosen to protect Winter over her, leading to her blaming the latter for supposedly causing her life to fall apart.

Becoming a vicious, violent bully, she sought the pain of others as well as pain inflicted on herself, growing addicted and scaring everyone away from her. She and Rex engaged in numerous explosive arguments over her destruction. Over time, she became Evie's rival, jealous of her success, and chose her friend, Mya, to be her bullying target. What Daniela truly sought, however, was for Winter to die at her hands, causing her to stalk her and attack her on various occassions, each attack more callous than the first. At the school's party near the end of spring, Daniela made her final plan known and stabbed Winter in her shoulder, exposing her lies to the school and ordering her to run away, insisting she was no more than someone named "Snowblind." Despite the success of her plan, it would backfire, as Mya would help Winter resonate and defeat her for good, sending her off to prison. From there, Daniela descended into insanity and finally realized that she was the reason her life spiraled out of control, not Winter - which broke her completely, both physically and emotionally. This pushed her into numerous suicide attempts and constantly inflicting pain on herself, as well as acting erratic and struggling to fight her inner demons. To her relief, she'd get a therapist and doctor and learn she had bipolar disorder, taking medication to alleviate the powerful symptoms of the mental illness. Once her condition improved, she was released early from prison, made amends with her mother, Winter, and the other girls, and saved Mya's life in Season 3, showing her worth to Pineshadow and proving that she deserved a second chance.

### Supporting

* Rexalia "Rex" Granold (**Nora Dunn**) is the former principal of Pineshadow Middle School and Daniela's mother. Whilst strict and imposing, Rex is friendly and cares for the students in the school she runs.

Due to her tiger parenting, she appears as the dominant person in the Ly household, often leaving her husband out of the picture, and making Evie feel isolated and dejected. While Opal cares for her daughter at heart and tries to make her happy, her cultural beliefs have made her emotionally abuse Evie multiple times over the years to get what she wants to the point of almost rejecting her for being gay.

However, when Winter came out as a lesbian to him, he branded her a sinner and traitor, attacking her with the knife that would become hers, and disowning her as his daughter.

### Antagonists

* Heather Shetani Schentady (**Jessica Walter** February-March 2021, **Grey DeLisle** April 2021-present) is Pineshadow Middle School's new principal, succeeding Rex. While she promises to make the school a great place, this is all revealed to be a lie, as she is controlling, demanding, apathetic, and power-hungry. In addition, she is racist and homophobic. She is also Amira's manipulative and heartless aunt, and Shetani often abuses her, both emotionally and physically, treating her as her own personal slave. Shetani soon gets wind of her niece's rebellion against her, and plots to make sure she stays under control. Seeking to eliminate Evie, Mya, and Winter, she has one of her accomplices force Evie into a game of Russian roulette to save Mya and Winter, but it fails when all three survive. She then tries to have Amira killed by Skelly, another acquaintance, but she survives that attack as well with the help of Winter. Despite this, her aunt believes she is dead. Eventually, Shetani expels Evie, Mya, and Winter for their rebellion against her, though she soon captures them at her doorstep and holds them hostage. However, they record her confession that she tried to kill Amira and expose her to the entire school. While it all seems to be over, Shetani refuses to accept defeat and kidnaps Amira and Winter, preparing to drop them off the dangerous cliff face near the Pineshadow Bridge. She fights the two, Evie, and Mya, and she gets the upper hand. Just before she can kill Winter, Amira sacrifices herself and sends her and Shetani over the cliff. Shetani ultimately dies from blunt force trauma after hitting the ground while Amira survives with minor injuries.
* Harlow Parker (**Udo Kier**) and Ivanna Parker (**Pam Ferris**) are Mya's paternal grandparents. Eleven years before the start of the series, they were borrowing money from Nita and Patrick to fix their mansion. However, once Patrick found out that they were greedy and only desired more and more money, they were banished from the Heartley household. However, Harlow and Ivanna swore revenge for their banishment, and threatened that Mya would be theirs for the taking. Years later, a chance encounter with Mya spurred Harlow and Ivanna into gaining retribution against the Heartleys, and they begin to gradually brainwash Mya, causing her to spend more time with them and to turn against her family and friends. They plan out a lavish dinner party for the girls, only to mistreat all of them and goad Mya into viewing her friends and family as inferior. Harlow also shows his true colors when he tries to sexually assault Daniela, though he loses sight in his left eye after she scratches it out defending herself. Following this, Harlow becomes more bent on revenge and pressures Mya into cutting ties with those she loves. He and Ivanna mold their granddaughter into a spoiled, conniving queen and violently vandalize Old Town Pineshadow for what it's worth. When Daniela attempts to sway Mya onto the side of the girls, the Parkers take her prisoner, and Harlow proceeds to sexually abuse her whenever he gets the chance to. Ivanna also stops Winter and Amira from attempting to rescue Daniela, forcing Winter to bend to her will by threatening to shoot Amira in the head. Shortly afterward, Harlow and Ivanna have Mya lure Evie into a trap so she can be slain, but Mya betrays them, her love of Evie prevailing. Enraged, Harlow backstabs her, and Ivanna leaves her to die in a secret room in Hollowleaf Mansion. When the girls flee into the woods, Mya falls behind, and her grandparents reveal to her that they were the reason her other grandparents died - they were only using Mya to get revenge. They cast her out and subsequently fight Evie, Winter, Amira, and Daniela in a bloody battle. While Harlow comes close to killing Evie, Mya intervenes and ultimately gets her hands on one of his guns, unintentionally shooting her grandfather in the head and killing him instantly. Although Ivanna tries to avenge Harlow, Daniela stops her by hitting her hard in the forehead with another gun, which causes her neck to snap upon coming in contact with a rock.

## Canon Shippings

### Eviya

**Eviya** is a canon femslash sapphic ship between Evie Ly and Mya Heartley. Evie originally met Mya at Pinelake Park, and she became her first true friend, albeit with little support from her mother. The two grow into each other's best friends forever, doing anything they can together, and Mya defends Evie from her tiger parent mother. While the two briefly butt heads during the *Words* scene in *Little Miss Perfect*, Evie confesses to Mya that her mother is a tiger parent, and she promises to protect her and support her through it all. Over the years, they grow closer and closer, supported by their family sans Opal, who consistently views Mya as inferior to Evie's life. Slowly, the two begin to fall for each other when they turn thirteen. After Mya accidentally kisses Evie at Cracklog Manor, she makes the discovery that she is bisexual, but struggles to tell Evie, fearing she'll be rejected by her since she doesn't like real romance. However, Evie accepts her and begins to fall in love with her in turn. In *Winter Storm Arising*, the two finally admit their feelings for one another in their favorite tree and share a passionate first kiss. Despite this euphoria, Evie still lives in fear of her mother, fearing she will turn her down for being a lesbian. This comes true when she accidentally comes out, and she admits to Mya that she fears she'll leave her, but Mya denies this and convinces her that she doesn't need to be a normal girl to live a life. Following Opal's redemption at the end of *Little Miss Perfect*, Evie and Mya only grow closer to one another.

In Season 3, Evie and Mya slowly drift apart due to their differing views on Harlow and Ivanna - with Mya viewing them as idols and Evie seeing them as nothing but trouble. Eventually tired of Evie disagreeing with her and trying to depose the Parkers, Mya unofficially breaks up with her and abandons her, turning into an antagonist. When Evie (along with Winter) attempts to speak with Mya again, she discovers that she has become a spoiled queen, and Mya makes it clear that she wants nothing to do with her - to the point where she disregards their relationship and only expresses her interest in gaining power. However, Mya does try to seduce Evie into allying with her as a fellow queen, though after hesitating to make a decision, she firmly rejects the offer. After Mya learns that Evie staged the meeting and that she lied about Amira and Daniela's presence at Hollowleaf Mansion, Mya ousts her and denounces her as a fool, further straining her relationship with Evie. In *Ultimatum*, it is revealed that despite everything she's done to drive her away, Mya still loves Evie strongly and struggles to go through with Harlow's ultimatum to kill her at midnight, having two breakdowns, but eventually choosing to kill Evie in order to preserve the Parkers' honor. Using a letter under the guise of wanting to discuss personal matters, Mya successfully lures Evie to Hollowleaf Forest, where she proceeds to ambush her and prepare to slit her throat with Harlow's dagger. Before she does, Evie reveals that she still loves her, finally making Mya realize that she has gone too far.

Defying the wishes of the Parkers, Mya allows Evie to live, but in the process, Harlow backstabs her and leaves her to die, also knocking out Evie. When Evie awakens, she rescues Mya from being confined in Hollowleaf Mansion and escapes with the other girls. However, Mya is captured by Harlow and Ivanna, tormented by their revelations that they were only using her and that she was never destined for royalty - along with the reveal that they killed her maternal grandparents. Defeated, Mya runs off after being warned to by Harlow, collapsing in Hollowleaf Forest and giving up on herself. Evie does not give up, however, and instigates a war with the Parkers. Whilst fighting Harlow, she sends Daniela to rescue her girlfriend. Upon finding Mya, Daniela convinces her to fight and atone for her mistakes, and when they return to the battlefield, they watch as Harlow slams Evie into a tree, causing her to sprain her leg. Mya, not willing to let him kill her, throws herself in her place and begs for Harlow to murder her instead. This quickly turns out to be a ruse, and instead, she fights Harlow. Even when doubt, Mya doesn't give up on herself, but Harlow soon corners her and Evie up against a tree. Evie, flashing back to the day she saved Mya's life in a roulette game, pulls her back into her just before Harlow fires his gun. This causes Mya to inadvertently fire another one of Harlow's guns, killing him. Following Ivanna's death, Evie and Mya have a tearful reunion and share a passionate, love-filled moment. With their bond and romance restored, the two embark on a special trip to the Pond of Ori and share a series of kisses, only cementing their relationship in stone.

Their ship anthems are all collabs between Feint and Laura Brehm - *We Won't Be Alone*, *Words*, and *Solace*.

For Season 3, their themes are *Vagrant* by Feint and *Worth The Lie* by Muzzy, Koven, and Feint.

### Wimira

**Wimira** is a canon femslash lesbian ship between Winterlyn "Winter" McCormick and Amira Fleckenshire. Winter originally meets Amira at the end of *Daniela Wrecks Christmas*, instantly wishing to see her afterward, hinting at her having a crush on Amira. Amira soon crosses paths with Winter again in *The New Principal*, becoming flustered when she suggests they should spend more time together. Unbeknownst to Winter, however, Amira has a secret - the school's wicked principal, Shetani, is also her aunt that abuses her and prevents her from having a free will. Eventually, her exterior cracks, and Winter grows the suspicion that something isn't right. Together, she and Mya unravel the secret that Shetani and Amira are related by blood, and realizing that she is being abused, Winter grows more in love with her. She reaches over Amira's fence and grips her hand, sharing a touching moment with her, and Amira begins to fall in love with Winter. Mya figures out her sister's crush and teases her for it, though she denies getting together with Amira, stating that she doesn't want another girlfriend for the moment. That night, however, Winter sneaks out of the house in the hopes of seeing Amira. She unexpectedly crosses paths with her at Pinelake Park, but Amira's heart swells, and the two wish to stay with each other. Then, Amira kisses Winter, and the two officially start dating. They dance the night away and sleep together in the Piney Woods.

Amira and Winter soon begin sneaking out to see one another, and Winter destroys the collar branding Amira as a dog. In *The Attack*, a hitman tries to kill Amira while she is out with Winter, but her girlfriend valiantly saves her and drives their attacker off. It is during this ordeal that Winter makes Amira realize that if she goes back to Shetani every time she sneaks out, she's only going to fall into a bottomless pit and will be abused more, making her embrace Winter warmly. Following this night, the two officially call off their midnight meetings for their own safety, and Evie, Mya, and Winter focus on exposing Shetani for her manipulation and ghastly control of Amira. In the two-part finale of Season 2, Amira and Winter band together and expose Shetani to the entire school. However, she kidnaps the two and holds them hostage at the Pineshadow Bridge, threatening their lives. They are quick to escape her, causing a fight to ensue between her and all four girls. Shetani gains the upper hand and catches Winter, preparing to drop her to her death, but Amira selflessly charges into her aunt, sending them both flying over the cliff. Winter is heartbroken, and seeing Amira "dead," sobs hysterically. Against the odds, however, Amira is revealed to be alive, and Winter recovers from her shock. In Season 3, Amira and Winter remain close, but face some tensions with each other over Mya's betrayal and Harlow and Ivanna.

Their ship anthems are *Oracle Heart* by Direct and Danyka Nadeau, *We Found Love* by Rihanna, and *You Da One*, another song by Rihanna.

### Winiela

**Winiela** was a canon femslash sapphic ship between Winterlyn "Winter" McCormick and Daniela Burton Vunquist. Winter and Daniela both met at the park and quickly grew into fast friends, often doing everything together and hanging out when they got the chance. One night, while out admiring the stars, Daniela admitted her feelings for Winter, and with her sharing them back, the two began to start dating. Daniela came out as bisexual and Winter as a lesbian; the latter was reluctant to come out to her father and begged her new girlfriend for time to do so, which she accepted. However, Daniela grew impatient with Winter's refusals to be open, and not wanting her to keep their relationship a secret forever, she forced her to come out one night - right in front of her father. Horrified beyond belief, Winter confessed to being a lesbian, revealing Daniela as her girlfriend. Unfortunately for Daniela, and much to Winter's worst nightmare, her father rejected her completely and badly cut into her with a pocket knife blade, calling it a punishment for her being a traitor. Daniela tried to justify what had happened by stating she didn't know it was going to escalate, but only more infuriated, Winter breaks up with her and runs away. Daniela then comes to face the consequences of the breakup after being hit on the face by Winter's father, and in school, she is bullied, causing her to suffer bad panic attacks. This cumulates into her breakthrough moment where she blames Winter for causing the breakup, deeming her as weak - and Daniela vows to get back at everyone who has brought harm onto her.

When Winter and Daniela cross paths again at the end of *Stalker*, Winter is horrified by her appearance and runs away, bringing herself to finally tell Evie and Mya about her former flame. With her target locked on sight, Daniela prepares to take the life of the person who seemingly caused her life to fall apart, becoming even more devious than before. She discovers that Winter lives in the Piney Woods, and she proceeds to ambush her there one night, though Winter gains the upper hand and warns her to get out. Daniela complies to her demands, but she warns that she'll hunt her down someday, which chills her to the bone. Daniela's next scheme proves to be far more dangerous, as she kidnaps Winter in the middle of the night and holds her hostage in her hideout near school, also managing to lure Evie and Mya into her trap. As everything is set up perfectly, she almost manages to strike Winter in her throat with a steak knife, but Mya deflects the blow with her shoulder, saving her best friend. Rex then appears, dragging Daniela away. Now only more agitated and desperate, Daniela is at her breaking point. When she and Winter are both invited to the school party, it becomes a recipe for disaster, as Winter insists on going despite Evie and Mya's concerns regarding Daniela attending. Her rash thinking ends up backfiring on her; Daniela jumps her unexpectedly and lashes out at her for everything in front of the cafeteria crowd. During the scuffle, Winter loses her pocket knife, and it ends up at Daniela's feet. Having a weapon at her disposal pleases Daniela, and with nothing else left to be done, she prepares to deliver the killing blow to Winter's throat.

Evie and Mya scream out Winter's name, which unintentionally makes Winter take the knife blade with her shoulder instead, sparing her life. Daniela still thinks she has won and is triumphant, but Evie duels her while Mya helps Winter realize that she can't run away from her past any longer. Just before Daniela manages to slit Evie's throat, Winter appears, declaring that she will never win again. She sends Daniela flying to the other side of the cafeteria, effectively defeating her. She gets back up, seeking revenge against her and the other girls, but she is arrested and sent to juvenile prison for her attempted murder of Winter. There, Daniela falls apart mentally and emotionally, finally understanding that Winter was never to blame for the breakup - she was - and she heavily blames herself. After her sentence ends, she encounters Winter with Amira at Pinelake Park, unaware of the two dating, and she hides from them. However, she accidentally draws them onto herself, and Winter makes it clear she isn't welcome here. Her anger fades upon seeing that Daniela is genuinely crying and pleading for someone to listen to her, and she agrees to hear her out. Daniela apologizes to her for ruining her life, and seeing how lost she is, along with seeing her eye-to-eye, Winter chooses to forgive her. In Season 3, the two have grown into great friends, and both heavily support each other through the turmoil with Mya and the Parkers.

Their ship anthems are *Ghost Assassin* by Maduk, *Don't Make Me* by Malinda Kathleen Reese, and *Paralyzed* by DM Galaxy.

## Reception

*The Adventures of Evie and Mya*, since its debut, has received critical praise for storytelling, character developments, and chemistry. It has also received mass praise for its LBGTQ+ and mental health representation.

## Trivia

* *Evie and Mya* is R-rated and is not meant for children under the age of thirteen.
* This series was in development since January 2019.
* Before Dakota Fanning was picked for Mya, Miranda Cosgrove, Sabrina Carpenter, Landry Bender, and Rowan Blanchard were favored.
	+ Av also favored American singer Laura Brehm for Mya's voice back in 2019.
* Elizabeth Gillies was originally set to be Daniela, but she was dropped and replaced in favor of Eden Riegel.
	+ Gillies was also selected to voice Rex at one point, but Nora Dunn was later selected instead.
* Kimiko Glenn, Sabrina Carpenter, and Hunter Schafer were originally favored for Winter.
* If this series were real, it would be made indie like *Hazbin Hotel* and *Helluva Boss*. Av firmly believes in this option due to the decline of video streaming and the cancellation of many shows found through streaming, such as *Inside Job*.
* Many voice actors were picked based off the television shows and movies Av likes (for example, Dakota Fanning voices the titular character in *Coraline*).
* The series intro is *Mortals* by Warriyo. It was previously *Pattern* by Demi Lovato. The series outro is *Blank* by Disfigure.
* Av's favorite characters are Daniela and Winter.
* While both shippings are similar in many ways, there are two notable differences between Eviya and Wimira:
* Eviya is a friends-turned-lovers relationship while Wimira follows the "love at first sight" trope; Av personally refers to it as the "I always knew I was in love with you from the day we met" trope to fit Wimira.
* While Evie and Mya's love language is what they speak (inspired by one of their ship anthems), Winter and Amira express their love mostly through the use of physical contact, especially Amira, who was deprived of intimate contact for most of her life.
* There is usually a pop culture reference in every episode, mostly musical references.
	+ Many of Av's other favorites, such as Laura Brehm, Anna Yvette, Veela, Varien, Feint, Tasha Baxter, and Danyka Nadeau, also make appearances via songs or references.
* Several titles are references to pop culture:
	+ *Dancing in the Dark* - *In the Dark*, a 2011 song by Dev
	+ *There's Something About Mya* - romcom *There's Something About Mary*
	+ *Unbroken Love* - *Unbroken*, a song and album by Demi Lovato
	+ *Rushing Roulette* - Russian roulette, the dangerous game of chance
	+ *Your Pain is My Pleasure: Part 1* and *Your Pain is My Pleasure: Part 2* - the line of a similar name from the 2011 Rihanna song *S&M*
	+ *It's Murder* - a reference to a line from the WATEVA song *Ber Zer Ker*
	+ *Memories of the Past* - the Weatherscan track by Trammell Starks
	+ *Welcome to Hollowleaf Mansion* - *Welcome to the Tree of Life*, a song performed by Rani in *The Lion Guard*
	+ *Two Lives, Many Horrors* - title inspired by a line from the Ben Moon song *Majesty*
	+ *Warbringer* - the 2021 song by TheFatRat and Everen Maxwell
	+ *The Guardian of Angels* - the song by NIVIRO
* *Evie and Mya* is primarily inspired by numerous songs that are sometimes cited in trivia sections, the HBO breakout series *Euphoria*, and two Disney shows, *The Owl House* and *Andi Mack*. It is also inspired by the *Piper McCloud* and *Scarlet and Ivy* novels, and the latter half of Season 3 is inspired by the Tehlor Kay Mejia novels *We Set the Dark on Fire* and *We Unleash the Merciless Storm*.
	+ Oddly enough, Daniela shares the same name, nickname, and similar initials to that of one of the books' two main characters, Daniela "Dani" Vargas.
	+ In addition, despite being thirteen, every Golden Gay was written in a more mature perspective on purpose to match Av's level of maturity at fourteen. She says that this is based of *Euphoria*, *The Owl House*, and *Andi Mack*.
* Av is unafraid to write the most R-rated moments in the series.
* When asked where she got the idea for *Evie and Mya*, Av says that she received a dream in sixth grade about two girls with magical abilities, spawning the first incarnation of the series, which is talked about on the original concepts page. The idea was expanded on more for nearly two years until the final version was completed and began airing.
* Besides the aforementioned inspirations, some installments were inspired by music:
	+ *Rushing Roulette* is notably inspired by the 2009 Rihanna song *Russian Roulette*.
	+ *Rise of a She-Devil* is inspired by a combination of songs: *Monster* by Dev, *Mayday* by TheFatRat, *Hold Me Down* by Halsey, *Unfaithful* by Rihanna, and *Devil in Me* by Halsey.
	+ *Two-Sided* is inspired by numerous Rihanna and Halsey songs, notably *Control* (Halsey), *Gasoline* (Halsey), and *Disturbia* (Rihanna)
	+ *Little Miss Perfect* is inspired by the song of the same name and *Normal Girl* by SZA. However, it is also prominently inspired by two Rihanna songs, *Consideration* and *What Now*.
	+ *Unbroken Love* is inspired by the Disclosure song *Latch*.
	+ Moments in *Winter Storm Arising*, *The Attack*, *Devil's Dungeon*, *Your Pain is My Pleasure: Part 2*, and Season 3 were inspired by the Twenty One Pilots song *Jumpsuit*.
	+ *Dancing in the Dark* is primarily inspired by the Dev song *In the Dark*.
	+ *The Guardian of Angels* is mainly inspired by *The Ghost*, a big room house song by NIVIRO.
	+ Season 3 as a whole is inspired by the Ben Moon song *Majesty*.
* The series shares notable similarities to young adult novels *We Set the Dark on Fire* and *We Unleash the Merciless Storm*:
	+ The main character, Daniela "Dani" Vargas, has similar initials, the same name, and the same nickname as Daniela. Both also have much of the same personality, being brave, willing to sacrifice, and easily losing their tempers.
	+ Dani's forbidden relationship with Segunda Carmen Santos can be viewed as similar to Winter keeping her romance with Daniela a secret from her father out of the fear of something scandalous happening.
	+ In *We Set the Dark on Fire*, the first chapter has a minor character named Ami appear in the doorway of Dani's school room. Ami is one of Amira's two nicknames in *Evie and Mya*.
	+ The actions of Mateo Garcia, such as his predatory relationship with Dani and him being perfectly willing to let innocent civilians die, can be viewed as similar to Harlow's dangerous lust and desires for revenge and power in Season 3.
	+ Just like Harlow, Mateo is blind in his left eye as of the end of *We Unleash the Merciless Storm*.
	+ Ari Vasquez's control and power over La Voz in the second book is hauntingly similar to the iron grip Shetani has on the school in Season 2 of *Evie and Mya*. Like Shetani, he is also heartless and has attempted to get the main characters killed for his own benefits (Ari trying to frame Dani and kill her and Carmen; Shetani attempting to have Evie, Mya, Winter, and Amira all killed).
* Currently, *Winter's Tales*, *Daniela Wrecks Christmas*, and Season 2 are slated for a rewrite in 2023. Av says that her writing from 2020-21 writing is "severely outdated," and with some "inconsistencies/questionable content," she felt the need to improve and "tell a bigger, better, and much more streamlined story." However, there will not be as many changes to the current canon and few plotpoints will be altered.
* *Evie and Mya* will be expanding beyond Wattpad and DeviantArt and will be available on other sites in the distant future. Av also hopes for a webcomic of the series to made on Webtoon.
