Evelyn Gray

**Evelyn Gray** is a character in *Magical Girl Policy*. She doesn't make a direct appearance, but is a major figure from Robert's past, as the two were bitter enemies during high school.

## Appearance

Evelyn is said to have a laugh like a stereotypical cheerleader's giggle, which Robynne, to her chagrin, finds similar to her own.

## Personality

Evelyn is described as a shallow, selfish, sociopathic queen bee. She is spiteful and will answer any perceived slight against her with harsh retaliation, usually via rumors to attack one's social life. She was a cheerleader in high school and was effectively the head of the team, fancying herself queen of the school. She is considered very similar in character to Cammy DeCroix.

## Biography

### Background

Evelyn Gray grew up in Deepwater, a small town in the southern United States. She was a cheerleader at Deepwater High and had great social influence. During sophomore year, she began dating the football team's star player, Dustin Durfee, and the two became the school's power couple. When Evelyn and one of her friends had a falling out, she began to spread rumors about the girl. When confronted about this during a lunch period, Evelyn made fun of her to the point of making her cry, which prompted Robert Dreese to call Evelyn out in front of everyone. Evelyn attempted to retaliate with her usual social attacks, but found them ineffective on Robert, who had high self-confidence and little care for what people like Evelyn thought of him. She decided to take her frustrations out on Brook, a fellow cheerleader and Rob's girlfriend, by having the cheer team turn against her, with Brook shamed out of telling Rob at first. Evelyn then convinced Dustin to attack Robert, who he saw as his football rival, though the fight quickly ended with Dustin tripped and his shoulder separated. This caused Robert to be suspended for two weeks.

Upon returning to school, Robert found much of the students as well as his coach mad at him for injuring Dustin, and was moved down the depth chart. Next semester, he was convinced by his Uncle Taylor to take ballet lessons in order to improve his game and get moved back up. Evelyn somehow discovered this, and quietly spread rumors that Robert was gay in hopes of undermining his relationship with Brook, who was made to wonder about his aversion to physical contact and gradually pushed for more intimacy. These rumors took full effect once Evelyn revealed that Rob took ballet during junior year, and the football team's name-calling wore on him to the point of no longer enjoying the sport. After the Homecoming dance, Rob and Brook had an argument where she accused him of faking their relationship to hide his sexuality, which ended in their breakup. With Brook now hanging with Evelyn's group and Robert quitting the football team his senior year, Evelyn was satisfied in ruining Rob's social life.

## Relationships

### Robert Dreese/Robynne Darling

After Robert called Evelyn out for her behavior to her former friend, Evelyn made it her mission to destroy his social life. She found his self-confidence made her usual social attacks useless, so she directed them to his girlfriend Brook and had Dustin pick a fight with him. When Evelyn found out about Robert taking ballet lessons for an edge in football, she spread rumors of him being gay, which took hold once she revealed the ballet business. This ended with Brook breaking up with Rob, with him eventually quitting the football team as well.

### Brook

Brook was on the cheerleading team with Evelyn. In order to get back at Brook's boyfriend Robert, Evelyn turned the team against her and shamed her out of telling him for a time. When Evelyn learned of Robert's secret ballet training, she spread rumors of him being gay in hopes of convincing Brook it's the reason for his reluctance to get intimate. Brook eventually broke up with him and became part of Evelyn's group. Evelyn and Brook's friendship wasn't genuine, as it was merely an example to those who'd cross Evelyn like Robert had.

### Dustin Durfee

Sometime after Dustin became the football team's best player, Evelyn began to date him. The two ruled the school, though Rob says Dustin was more of a goon to Evelyn than anything else.
