This is Jevelyn Banut's history in Volume I.

## Chapter III

Jevelyn is the fourth point-of-view protagonist to appear. She is first seen by Minetta Bellflower sitting alone on a bench at their class' camp. Minetta tries to talk to her, but Jevelyn is distant and does not make any attempts to hold a conversation. This leaves Minetta disappointed. After Elora Sage asks about the Industrial guide, Jevelyn answers her by saying his name is Tyshawn Cylix. She further adds she knows his brother, leaving him unnamed, and they work together as medics. Elora and Kolvar Blossom mock Jevelyn, but she ignores them.

## Chapter IV

Jevelyn hikes alongside her class to the Simulian portal. Minetta notes Jevelyn to be insecure, although she tries to hide this.

## Chapter V

She is caught by Minetta writing on a piece of paper in front of the portal. Later, she listens to Tyshawn and Segast Bellflower explaining their directions for entering the portal. Elora jokes about shoving Jevelyn into the portal solo. Her name is called first by Tyshawn due to her surname being first on the Industrial list in alphabetical order. Jevelyn is surprised and hesitantly steps forward. She joins Minetta, for her surname was first on the Nature list by Segast.

## Chapter VI

After Segast had vanishes into the portal, Jevelyn is wracked with anxiousness. She speaks up about her fears to Tyshawn. After receiving a sincere lecture from Tyshawn, Jevelyn and Minetta run into the portal.

## Chapter VII

Time goes back a minute when Jevelyn and Minetta run into the portal. While experiencing her vision, Jevelyn finds herself in front of a cottage sometime in the 1990's. She is puzzled by the hatchback car. After, she hears an unknown woman crying. Jevelyn cautiously confronts the unknown woman, and is put off by how the woman knows her name and treats her like a friend. The woman reveals to Jevelyn she misses her sister.

After her vision ends, Jevelyn stands in the outside world holding Minetta's hand. She is not wowed at first due to the surroundings woodlands, even presuming it to be like Natura. But she feels the air to feel different. Jevelyn is shocked when Minetta collapses onto the ground.

## Chapter VIII

Jevelyn is startled by Minetta collapsing. She remains silent while the class gossips about Minetta. Later, Jevelyn confronts Minetta and gives her condolences regarding her experience. She begins to ask if it was anything involving her, and is shooed by Elora and Kolvar.

## Chapter IX

Jevelyn hikes along the main street with the rest of her class. She is caught off-guard by the policeman who stops Tyshawn and Segast. Later, when the policeman dismisses the class, Jevelyn resumes her hike. She sees the cracks in the sidewalk and remembers how she used to dote on sidewalk cracks with Lysabel Banut as a child. Jevelyn grows emotional over the loss of her grandmother, as she remembered her as her only parental figure. She recalls how Hywell and Voleen Banut were never parents who cared about her or each other. She remembers sitting in the parlor of the Banut-Prisma palace when Hywell and Voleen walked in on each other cheating.

Jevelyn later sees a woman across the street, with a boy and a golden retriever. She thinks about how the woman reminds her of the woman in her vision, although this woman was not her. Jevelyn thinks on her vision, wondering what this woman meant by missing her sister. She then sees a hospital, which makes her further frustrated. She reveals how Hywell resigned as the owner of Hillbourn Infirmary just a week before, and was handing it off to her care. Jevelyn states silently how she despised this decision, and knew she could not run Metallum's largest and well-known infirmary well.

When nearing a more rural town, Jevelyn grows hungry and remembers how Voleen had criticized her for not finishing her meal. This confuses Jevelyn, as Voleen usually judged her for 'eating too much.' The class arrives at the Lillo Inn, and Jevelyn is scared by the unresponsive answer when Segast knocks on the door. He eventually pulls out a Lyka, which relaxes Jevelyn.

## Chapter X

Her name is called by Tyshawn to be roommates with Marsha Berge in Room 204. She and Marsha are handed their keys by Ángel Lillo.

## Chapter XIII

She is abruptly awoken by Marsha, who states that she called her name five times. Jevelyn takes a moment to remember that she was in the Lillo Inn while being sleepy. She is told by Marsha they are going to be late to morning greetings since she set the alarm at the wrong time. Jevelyn criticizes her roommate for not setting the alarm at the correct time. She is angrily told by Marsha that she should set it next time.

Jevelyn washes up in the bathroom. She brushes her hair and reminisces how Lysabel told her as a girl to brush her hair 100 times. She hears two knocks on the front room door. When Marsha panics about whether the guides have come to berate them about being late, Jevelyn is suspenseful as well. When Marsha acts relieved after opening the door, Jevelyn realizes none of the guides were outside. She is unable to hear Marsha and the individual for a minute until her name is called. Jevelyn is startled by hearing her name and leaves the bathroom, only to find Marsha and Minetta talking. Minetta confesses to Jevelyn she needs to talk to her alone, which prompts Marsha to leave. Minetta goes on to tell Jevelyn about the events involving her changed birthmark. When asked by Minetta to examine her ear, Jevelyn hesitantly agrees. When seeing the birthmark, she remarks how it looks identical to Oakina Demyx's.

She goes on to dote about Oakina, how she knew her and that Oakina was always friendly to her. Jevelyn remembers the first time she met Oakina, when she attended a formal party at the Banut-Prisma palace ten years ago. Four-year-old Jevelyn had been sitting next to six-year-old Atheon Prisma on the stairs and playing with paper dolls with him when Oakina introduced herself to them.

Jevelyn tells Minetta that she saw nothing wrong with her ear. After being told by Minetta not to tell anyone about her birthmark, Jevelyn wonders who she would tell anyway, since she knew no one in her class. She assumes Marsha would not believe her, as she did not even believe Minetta until she saw the identical birthmark to Oakina's.

She and Minetta part when heading the lounge portion of the secret hallway quarters. Jevelyn sits next to Marsha, who sits across from Tourmaline Torabi and Nezah Misk. She receives her breakfast bag from Angelo Lillo and is disappointed by the contents. After Angelo mentions the World War II rations, Jevelyn remembers Lysabel telling her about 'ducking-and-covering' during a bomb threat, which did not help with her present apprehensions about traveling. However, she reflects on how she felt the portal was the hardest part of her travel, and that she got through it.

## Chapter XIV

Before the events of Chapter XIII, Minetta musters up the courage to talk to her about her ear. She later judges herself about how she spoke to Jevelyn, wondering if it was embarrassing. But Minetta focuses on the fact that Jevelyn told her that her ear was fine.

## Chapter XVI

She never appears formally. Velor visits Atheon at the Banut-Prisma palace with tons of documents meant for Jevelyn to sign. These documents were about the transferring ownership if Hillbourn Infirmary from Hywell to Jevelyn. Velor asks Atheon to give the documents to her when she returned. Before Atheon could answer, Voleen presents herself. She grumpily offers to take the documents from Velor and leave them in Jevelyn's bedroom.
