***Quote:***

**“It’s cool that you like boys, you know,” She added. “I love boys, even though they’re stupid as hell. On the bright side, your sex talk will probably be shorter than mine was.” *-Everly to her cousin in Ch. 10***

**Everly Rose Reign** is a minor character and cousin of main protagonist Dobrev Reign. The polar opposite of Dobrev, Everly is Ghoulsby High School’s outgoing cheerleading captain, a fashion lover and slightly irresponsible driver. She is aware of Dobrev’s sexual preferences, as well as his clairvoyant abilities and often encourages him to be more assertive and extroverted.

### **Early Life**

Everly is the only daughter of Ian and Elena Reign; she lives with them and her younger cousin in Ghoulsby, Massachusetts. Everly was welcoming to Dobrev when he often lived with them during his father’s run-in’s with the law and was most likely thrilled when her family officially adopted Dobrev, as she was an only child before then. It can be presumed that Everly took gymnastics and cheer classes sometimes during her youth, given her current status as Ghoulsby’s cheerleading squad captain.

### **Personality**

The complete opposite of her cousin, Everly is extroverted, talkative and bubbly, often causing Dobrev much irritation. As a cheerleading captain she has high energy and a hard-working personality; she often returns home fatigued from cheerleading events and asks her family to get her food and drinks so she doesn't have to get up. Dobrev often complains that Everly is unable (or unwilling) to read the room, often getting her in trouble when she mentions a sensitive topic, such as Achille's mother or her uncle. Although at times airheaded, Everly is usually encouraging and bright, and immediately connects with Achille once he becomes a common fixture at the Reign household. She seems very accepting of her cousin's romantic preferences and ability to see ghosts; Dobrev hates when she brings these subjects up, but Everly seems comfortable discussing them.

**“Okay. I’ll just go wake dad up, and tell him you and Achille are sneaking out together for a date.”** *-Everly blackmailing Dobrev into telling her where he's sneaking out to in Ch. 16*

Mina Anderson first became interested in the Reign family because she found Everly's character to be intriguing. Everly can be sneaky at times, such as when she made her own Homecoming dress, but left in a different outfit so her parents wouldn't see; she is also known to be boy crazy, despite thinking all boys are stupid. It is mentioned that Everly also had multiple boyfriends at a time in the past, and that Ian Reign once caught her kissing the lacrosse team captain in her bedroom. Everly did her best to cover for Dobrev when he snuck out to help Achille stop Lila and even gives him lifts in her car, despite being busy herself.

### Relationships

#### Family

**Dobrev Reign**

Dobrev and Everly have a playful, teasing and friendly relationship. Although opposite personalities, the two get along fairly well and are always willing to help each other out, such as when Everly gives Dobrev rides and helps him sneak out of the house. In return, Dobrev keeps Everly's own secrets and tolerates her energetic, engaging personality. Everly isn't as protective over Dobrev as the rest of their family members, usually giving him space to think and be his own person, although she occasionally interferes to give him encouragement or unwanted advice. Dobrev has a habit of comparing himself to Everly, who he believes is the ideal daughter, what with her popularity, athleticism and cheerful disposition.

By the end of the novel, Dobrev is much closer to his cousin, going so far as to tell Everly she is a great sister. Everly seems to think of Dobrev as her brother, too, even bringing him along with her friends to get ice cream on the last day of school.

**Ian Reign**

Although Everly seems to always be bickering with her father, Ian and her have a strong relationship; he doesn't seem to worry about her as much as he does Dobrev, knowing she is confident and spirited enough to take care of herself. While Everly doesn't always agree with her father's parenting methods, she accepts them, though she is known to break curfew and get grounded occasionally. Ian and Everly are usually seen teasing each other or arguing, though they do so lightheartedly.

**Elena Reign**

Everly appears to have a positive relationship with her mother, mostly in part to their similar personalities. They rarely argue or fight, and Elena often attends Everly's cheerleading competitions and events to support her. Elena does seem to worry about Everly when she drives, knowing she can be reckless and inattentive.

**Aiden Reign**

Everly most likely doesn't know her paternal uncle very well, given he hasn't been around the family much due to his drug and alcohol problems. Aiden mentions her in a letter to Dobrev once, but otherwise the two do not communicate throughout the novel.

#### Friends

**Jen**

Everly's best friend is a girl named Jen from her cheerleading squad. The girls get along well, gushing over boys and sharing pictures of their current crushes whenever they're together.

#### Romantic Interests

**Alessandro Alemagna IV**

Everly first meets Alessandro when she drops Achille and her cousin off in Salem. Despite Alessandro being significantly older than her, Everly is smitten, and even goes so far as to take pictures of him with her cell phone while he talks with Dobrev and Achille. She yells goodbye to him when they leave, happy when she receives a wave and smile in return. On the last day of school, Everly informs her best friend Jen that she got his phone number off his official website, much to her cousin's agony.
