## Biography

### Early Life

> "I’ve known you since we were in nappies, do you really think you can lie to my face?"
>
> - Autumn to Lockwood, "Sweet Dreams"

Autumn was the first child born to Phillipa and Arthur Evans. She acknowledges the absurdity of her and her siblings’ names saying that her parents must have had a sense of humor to name their children the way they did. Autumn was the only one of her siblings to have a talent that developed at a very young age.

When she became of age to start training, her parents put her into training to become an agent—Autumn becoming the breadwinner of her family. As soon as they could afford it, her parents moved them away from London, to Brighton, a seaside town south of London in East Sussex.

Most of her life, however, she grew up the neighbor of the Lockwood family. The same age as the son, Anthony, they played together and even briefly trained together.

### Becoming a Part of Fittes

Once earning her 4 years, she became employed almost immediately by the Fittes Agency though Lockwood commented later that she had also been recruited by the Rotwell Agency. She was only there briefly when she became insubordinate and was fired. She had made enough waves at Fittes to have developed a blacklist against her so no other Agency wanted to hire her.

### Distance from Family & Freelance

Autumn being blacklisted caused strife between her and her family who stopped speaking to her. They cut ties with her and left her old childhood home to her.

She tried to see if people would contract her without having to fully hire her, but many didn’t want an agent, but for her to join sensitives or night watch in which she was uninterested.

### Joining Lockwood & Co.

> "I had tried doing some freelance work since Fittes had blacklisted me, but no one wanted an agent without ties to DEPRAC. So I joined and I’m glad I did. I’ve never felt more like a family with people than when Lockwood, George, Lucy and I had all come together.

> - Autumn to Henry, "You Never Asked"

After moving back into her childhood home, she reconnected with her old friend Anthony Lockwood, who had decided to create his own independent agency.

Lockwood hired her on the spot and then not too long later, they both met George Karim who joined on as their researcher.

## Characteristics

### Personality

Autumn is loyal to her friends with her heart in the right place, and while she can be pessimistic and worry the worst is going to happen to everyone, she often has good reason for believing so. She possesses courage and does not hesitate to risk her well-being at any given time. She is compassionate and has a quick wit that fits well into the occupants of 35 Portland Row.

She also constantly fusses over her friends, taking a caretaker role in her friends’ lives.

## Abilities

### Touch

Autumn has the talent of Touch. She remarked that her family always said that all of the talent was given to her above anyone else not just because of her being the only one but because of how potent the talent has become. She has passable Sight and Hearing, but Touch is her strong side.

### Sight

Her sight usually goes hand-in-hand with her touch abilities and though she’s not at the same level as Lockwood, she more often than not, helps him visually detect death-glows and residual energies. Like Lockwood and Lucy Carlyle, her talents have shown no signs of fading even at her older age.
