## Biography

### Early Life

**Michael Evans** was born in the year 1802, to unknown parents. He is the oldest of two, his twin sister **Makayla Evans** only three minutes younger than him. Not much is known about his family other than his eventual relatives-in-law, Makayla's husband **John Reames**, and their children **Jenna**, **Charlotte**, and **Adeline Reames**, whose name pattern mirror that of John and his two sisters. Michael and Makayla were very close when they were younger, but they grew apart as they aged and took spouses. They tried to keep in touch, but it was difficult when Nadina had Matthew, and Makayla began her family as well. Unfortunately, Matthew and Nikki were never able to meet their cousins, though Michael saw his twin sister once again in death, and though it was not a preferred reunion, it was bittersweet all the same.

### F.A.A.S. Membership

Contrary to his twin sister, Michael Evans was a Normal, and was never part of the F.A.A.S. It is unknown whether he knew of his twin sister's occupation, but is assumed not, as he is a Normal and not an Exposed. Both he and Nadina were oblivious to the ways of the Archenoes.

### Michael and Nadina

Contrary to most of the couples, Michael and Nadina fell in love far before the First Archenoe War took place. They were high school sweethearts, staying strong even through graduation, and married sometime around **1827**. They also began having children soon after, as Matthew and Brianna are around the same age, as are Zac and Nikki.

### Michael and Nikki

This father and daughter pair have a very good relationship, as Nikki was not turned away; she was stolen. Unsure of whether or not they would see their daughter again, Michael and Nadina had almost given up hope when Nikki showed up on their doorstep almost seventeen years later. Nikki is said to have inherited her father's curly blond hair, a family trait, and they are nearly inseparable. His death affects Nikki greatly, and she is never the same after.

### The Second Archenoe War

As the two are Normals, Michael and Nadina are unaware of the Second Archenoe War, however, they do take heed of Bradley and Zara's warnings and caution their children appropriately. Nikki is forced to lie to them in order to participate in Alice Davis's recruiting, which she does not prefer, but is ordered to do in order for her parents to be the most safe. Matthew is also a Normal, though Nikki cautions him appropriately. Their lives were not given for a good cause; they were taken from them. Nikki mourns their deaths long after, and never really returns to normal.

## Relationships

### Nadina Evans

**Nadina Evans** (née Matthews) was Michael's wife. The two fell in love and high school and stayed strong throughout, despite their love rivaled by the feelings of Nadina's best friend, **Nate Reynolds**. When forced to choose between the two, Nadina chose Michael, saying she did not return Nate's feelings of love. However, she did not wish for him to leave so abruptly, and regrets it long after, seen in Matthew's middle name, Nate. This put strain on Michael and Nadina's marriage, as Michael felt as though he was not enough for her, but they worked it all out for the sake of their children. Narim is merciful in their deaths, letting them lie together, as he knew their love was strong.

### Matthew Evans

Matthew and his father were said to have an incredibly good relationship, as Michael was the one Matthew typically went to for advice, especially on his relationship with Brianna. Michael is a mentor to his son through his life, and encourages him to go for what he wants to do. Michael was an incredibly encouraging father to both his son and his daughter. Nikki considered it almost a crime that his life was taken so suddenly.

## Trivia
