**Eva** is the main character and anti-hero of the 2018 short film *Troubled Youth* and its sequel. A cheerleader at Journey High, Eva is in command of Catherine, a librarian who can turn into a monster, and uses her necklace to control her.

She is portrayed by Cami Storm.

## Physical Appearance

Eva is an attractive Hispanic teen with brown eyes and black hair. She wears the Journey High cheerleader's uniform.

## Characteristics

In stark contrast to her unthreatening appearance, Eva is calm, confident, and calculating. She has an "eat or be eaten" mentality about life; referring to those she believes to be weak or inferior as "sheep" and those who gain her approval and/or rise up to take the initiative as "wolves". She believes the "wolves" must govern and control the "sheep", and enforces this ideology by using Catherine, a young woman who can change into a monster, as her minion, using her on whatever "sheep" she deems fit for slaughter. While it would appear that Eva is using this power over Catherine for her own gain, she also uses her control over her to "punish" people who seem to believe they are "wolves", such as fellow student Becca.

## Crypt Monster Universe

Eva ordered Catherine to transform and sicced her on Journey High's students and faculty. During Catherine's rampage, Eva pretended to be one of the bystanders and hid with four other students in a science classroom. Catherine pretends to attack Eva, and stops directly in front of her. Eva reveals her true colors, and when one of the students asks why she would do this, simply answers that they are sheep and it's time to bring in a wolf. She tosses some of the dust in her necklace to the students hiding in the closet next to her, causing Catherine to attack them. After Catherine kills them, she and Eva go down the hallway.

Eva is the one who turned Catherine into a monster, and is the one who controls her through a strange black powder. Catherine reportedly went to Eva for help because she was tired of being a pushover, and Eva turned her into a monster to give her that power. However, it was apparent that this deal was largely tipped in Eva's favor, as she was the only one who could turn Catherine into a monster and would use her as part of her plan to pick out the "sheep" and the "wolves" of their school. At the point of the sequel, Catherine no longer wants to be Eva's minion as this was not the power she wanted. Eva is unwillingly allow Catherine out of their deal. Ultimately, Catherine's connection to Eva became both her greatest strength and her greatest weakness.
