Evie/Plot

## Season 1

### Secrets

In Evie's rush to make it to an important class, she bumped into Brea. Angry that a low-tier touched her, Brea pushed her to the ground and started smacking her around. She demanded an apology from Evie, insulting her all the while.  The timely intervention of Seraphina ended the bullying early. Evie gave a quick bow to the Ace and hurried off to her class.

### Capture

In her next appearance, Evie was tasked to do an assignment for Hower and failed said assignment. Hower was not pleased to find out that he had failed and began to torment Evie with his Heat Palm. However, she would be saved by the powerless Seraphina.  She thanked Seraphina for coming to her rescue again, though Sera did not recognize her.

The next day, Evie was walking through the hallways when she passed by Elaine, who was seeking information about the missing Seraphina's whereabouts. Evie walked over to Elaine and told her about how Seraphina had helped her with Hower the day before. Elaine took her by the wrist and brought her to Arlo, who was leading the search. She told him about Hower's association with the gang of mid-tier bullies, and helped to identify them based on the descriptions of the last four students Seraphina was seen leaving the school grounds with. At Arlo's behest, she brought him to Hower for further questioning.

### Joker

As Seraphina made her way to class, she noticed (for the first time) that Evie was one of her classmates. Later that lunch, Seraphina found Evie sitting alone at the table and decided to sit with her and thank her for aiding Arlo. Despite the Ace's powerlessness, Evie still held her in high-regard and wished to have the same confidence that Seraphina possessed; even though Seraphina was clearly scarred from previous events, Evie continued to admire her anyways.

Seraphina would continue to spend time with Evie, who wished to introduce the former ace to her friends. Unfortunately, Evie and Seraphina would find the bully Clio beating up one of those friends, Roland. Seraphina was reluctant to intervene with the bullying, but Evie courageously tackled the bully before being defeated shortly afterwards. Once Seraphina found herself at the receiving end of Clio's Dizzy Punch, Evie lent her aid by using her Illumination ability to temporarily blind the bully, giving Seraphina an opportunity to land a well-placed punch. With Clio fleeing the scene, Roland thanked Seraphina for her intervention and praised her ability to defend herself. Seraphina then told both Roland and Evie that anybody could what she did and offered to have John teach the two. They insisted that Seraphina be their instructor, and shared the story of how John turned down their friendship.

Evie introduced Terrence to Seraphina one day at lunch, and the two sat down to eat at her table. Terrence worked on the Press Team, though he remarked that things there have gotten slow ever since Isen replaced Cecile as leader. Just as he was elaborating, Roland joined the group. Evie asked Terrence why there were no articles about the notorious Joker yet. Seraphina interrupted by asking about how well-read the paper was. Evie explained that, on top of being entertaining, it was much more reliable than rumours when it came to being informed about what went on in school. Back on topic, Terrence informed everyone that every reporter was wondering the same thing about Joker. Everybody was eager to put articles about him in the paper, but Isen never allowed it. Terrence believed that Isen was determined to keep Joker out of the paper at all costs. Roland said this just made things more nerve-wracking. Seraphina asked whether or not Joker's actions were just business as usual when climbing the ranks of the hierarchy. Terrence pointed out that Joker's elusive nature made it impossible to determine who exactly he was, let alone what his next move or ultimate goal might be. Roland added that regardless of his motives, he was a nasty piece of work. He grossed out the group by detailing how Joker would stab his opponents extra times after he had already won. All hoped that the Royals would resolve the problem soon.

During the battle between Joker and Remi, Evie was with Seraphina at another part of the school, thanking her for letting her borrow her notes. She found herself marveling at Holden when he rushed up to them and explained his orders from Arlo insisting that Seraphina to go with him to watch the Joker fight. When Seraphina agreed to accompany him, Evie tagged along. They ended up witnessing Joker dominate the King and Queen. Evie and Holden showed concern for Seraphina after she collapsed upon realizing a terrible truth. Evie listened in surprise and worry as Holden announced the Royals have lost and Joker was now King of Wellston.

## Season 2

### Fallout

As agreed, Seraphina began teaching Evie, Roland, and Terrence how to defend themselves. During practice, she punched Roland incredibly hard in the face, much to everyone’s shock. Seraphina scolded them to train as if the fight was against their daily attackers and walked away. After helping Roland up, Evie ran after Seraphina and timidly asked what has been bothering her. Evie explained how Seraphina had been behaving more aggressively after the Joker vs. Royals fight, privately assuming she was angry about not being able to participate due to her ability loss. After being told that she was free to share whatever was on her mind, Seraphina grumbled about how having no ability put her at a disadvantage. Alarmed at such pessimism, Evie pointed out that it was Serphina who encouraged her and her friends to stand up for themselves in the first place. Seraphina couldn't bring heself to admit why she was giving up on her own ideals, so she claimed she didn't feel well enough to continue practicing. She said the others were free to go on without her, then ran off. A worried Evie silently begged Seraphina not to abandon them.

Since Joker had yet to reveal his true identity, several students had begun impersonating him by wearing his signature mask. Evie and Seraphina were attacked by one of these Fake Jokers one day. Evie was knocked down first by the Fake Joker, and was too afraid to fight back. As Seraphina defended Evie and herself, John swooped in and together they successfully beat the Fake Joker. Seraphina unmasked their attacker, who turned out to be a girl Evie recognized from their math class. Evie is amazed at how John and Seraphina took Kiara out with no abilities. As Evie recounted the highlights of the fight by mimicking them with air punching, she painfully found out that her leg was sprained. Seraphina helped Evie up and began walking her to the infirmary. John asked them if they need any help, but Seraphina coldly replied he'd done enough.

Arriving at the infirmary, Doctor Darren instructed them to lay Evie down in the back and he’ll take care of them momentarily. After Seraphina did, she started to cry. When the concerned Evie asked her what was wrong, Seraphina told her that the person she has looked up to was no different from everyone else.

### Responsibility

The Joker attacks grew worse over the weeks, and one of them jumped Evie, Roland, and Terrence as they were on their way to lunch. Before Evie could react, the Fake Joker had hit her in the head. Evie wakes up, dizzy and confused why she is in the infirmary. Seraphina explained that Roland called her over after getting Evie to safety. When she heard that Roland also fought off the Fake Joker, Evie thanked Roland, then expressed disappointment that she didn't get to fight too. Roland assured her she is improving with her defending skills, but Evie complained she still needed practice. As Roland and Seraphina discussed why someone would want to hide their identity to target students who were no threat to them, Evie just growled that they can come at her, and she wouldn’t be afraid. Her friends warned her she shouldn’t want to get into fights, considering they don’t stand a chance against the other students. Evie replied that now that even low-tiers like them got targeted by a Fake Joker, they had to be battle-ready at all times.

One day, Evie was thinking about a math test she had taken when she came a across an unconscious student. Seeing the Joker mask next to the student, Evie assumed he tried to pretend to be Joker, but the had trick backfired. After debating on whether she should just leave him there, Evie decided she should help the fake Joker. As Evie struggled to pick the student up, Remi ran by and asked what had happened. Evie anxiously replied that she just found the fake lying here and wanted to bring him to the infirmary. Remi saw fit to help, and carried the student herself while Evie held their books. When they arrived Doctor Darren “thanked” them for the extra work. Out of the infirmary, Remi asked for Evie’s name and praised her for her compassion in helping the Fake Joker. Evie couldn't help but wonder why Joker would want to hospitalize someone as kind as Remi. On that note, Evie asked Remi if she was OK after coming back from Wellston Hospital. Remi replied she was doing fine and added Evie was the first to ask her that. Remi asked Evie what she thought about the school’s current situation, and Evie replied that before she could avoid trouble by sticking to the safe zones. But with all the Fake Jokers running around recently, everything has been flipped upside down. Evie confided she didn’t feel safe anymore. Remi empathized with Evie and asked for her contact info so they may discuss it more later. After exchanging numbers, Remi told her to keep in touch before resuming her mad rush to class. Evie took some time to recover from the shock of the Queen of Wellston asking for *her* contact info. That same day, Isen finally released a front page article about Joker, which revealed that the original was none other than John.

### Safe House

The next day, Evie and Seraphina walked past some students crowded around a window watching Zeke attempting to prove that the news article was false by directly engaging John himself. Unlike these witnesses, who were excited about what was about to go down, Seraphina had no interest in watching. Evie asked whether she was worried for her friend. Seraphina answered that John would have no trouble at all against Zeke. Evie was confused by this answer, but it would soon become apparent to the whole school that John was more dangerous than anybody could have imagined.

Coinciding with John's official ascension to King, Remi found the inspiration in her discussion with Evie to start a club called "Safe House." Students of all ranks were free to join and gather in Room 224, where they would be free from the threat of the violence that was so prevalent in their school. The muse herself got a personal invite from the club's founder to stop by on opening day. Evie later discussed this news with Seraphina and Roland as they walked through the halls. Roland was in favor of joining, considering that even the public reveal of the true Joker didn't make his impersonators go away. The group then approached the Press Room as Terrence was exiting. Terrence seems to be a little nervous as Evie went forward to greet him. Evie asks if he's heard of Safe House. When he confirmed that he had, Seraphina asked if he wanted to join it alongside them. Terrence responded to this invitation with Safe House news of his own: earlier, the new king had issued a proclamation that denounced any who joined the club as his enemies. Not wanting to get on John's bad side, Terrence turned them down. As Terrence began to walk away, Seraphina called out to him. She said that Remi founded the club, and convinced many other big-name students to join. With so many high-ranking students keeping an eye on the proceedings, there would be little reason to worry. This appeared to change Terrence's mind, as he said that the Safe House would be worth checking out after all.

### Tyrants

Evie's group of friends were among the crowd attending Safe House's opening day. She watched the as the proceedings were followed by Zeke intruding on behalf of John. When he tried to gather names of everyone who was present, Remi zapped him and made it clear to all that no threats to anybody under her protection would be tolerated. She then sent Zeke away, empty-handed.
Later on, Evie spent another free period in Safe House, reading books on beanbag chairs with Seraphina. On observing a trio of students playing New Texis Hold 'em, Seraphina decided to join in. Intrigued by her fascination with he card game, Evie decided to watch. Unfortunately, after Blyke left to use the bathroom, John and Zeke broke into the Safe House and started making trouble. When John kicked Alden, Seraphina stood up and told him to stop. Seraphina's attempt to help Alden led to her and John having an argument. Evie and the other members stayed back as this occured. Luckily before John can punch Seraphina, Blyke returned and launched him out of a window.

As the high-tiers continued the fight outside, Zeke remained in the room to menace the other members of Safe House. He attacked Seraphina when she tried to help Alden again, but she refused to back down. Her bravery encouraged Evie and the trio to stand up and demand he depart alongside her. Soon every other member followed suit, which prompted Zeke to start attacking all of them. The combined strength of the Safe House members wasn't enough to overpower Zeke. Fortunately, Isen came to the rescue at the eleventh hour. Evie watched as he forced Zeke to leave and warned him never to come back. Meanwhile, Vaughn had resolved the conflict that had been going on outside, and the assault ended in favor of Safe House.

### Square One

One day, Evie planned to get drinks with Roland. When school let out, she asked Seraphina if she wanted to accompany them. Having already made plans, Seraphina had to decline. They cordially agreed to see each other later.

### Discord

Weeks passed, and news that John willingly turned over his title to Blyke spread throughout the school. The new king's reign would begin on his first day back from suspension, so Safe House organized a surprise party for that day. When Blyke entered Room 224, he was met with cheers from the other members. He felt unsure about his worthiness. But Evie walked up to him and, on behalf of everybody, told him that nobody could fit the role better. When it came time to eat the cake Roland baked, Evie handed out plates.

In another surprising development, John appeared to have traded his throne in order to join that which he couldn't beat. He was sitting in the room at the same time as Evie and Roland one day, minding his own business. Eventually, Terrence entered the room, prompting Evie to invite him over in order to discuss their plans for the upcoming field trip. Inexplicably, John shot up from his seat and shot an aggressive gaze towards Terrence. The whole room was terrified that this would lead to trouble. Thankfully, John chose not to escalate things further and sat back down.

Throughout John's subsequent visits, he caused no further conflicts, though he looked moody most of the time. Then one day, a group in the club was setting up a game of New Texis Hold'em when they recalled that John was supposedly a fan of the game. Dylan suggested that they invite him, so Evie courageously volunteered to do the honors. John was surprised at first, but took them up on the offer. Never before had Wellston come across a student who just couldn't lose. Evie eventually folded, certain that she couldn't bluff the likes of John. Only Dylan remained, and he decided to risk it all. The whole club watched the final showdown, wondering if John could maintain his streak. Then, he folded as well, without the slightest hint of resentment. Evie and the rest of the club congratulated Dylan on his victory before starting a new game.

The next day, a vote was held by Safe House in order to decide whether or not to allow John to accompany them to Rowden. Evie raised her hand in favor of inviting him, though most others were still afraid of him. Arlo voting yes inspired some others, but it wasn't enough to flip the majority.

As preparations were underway on the weekend morning, Evie was in high spirits. All around her were Royals and Elites dressed in casual clothes! (Squeeeeee!) Her euphoria at the beauty surrounding her was broken when Remi gave the OK to board the bus for a two-day break they'd never forget.

### Infiltration

When the group finally arrived at the resort, Evie disembarked with her friends. She and Terrence saw that Seraphina had dozed off during the drive, so they woke her up. Seraphina agreed to meet with them after grabbing her luggage. Evie was awed by the splendor of Rowden Resort, and she kept riding that high throughout dinner and well into the late evening. It's a wonder that she ever managed to fall asleep.

The next morning, breakfast was followed by a trip to Rowden Park. She was even giddier than ever, if that's even possible. There was little in Rowden that didn't make her say wow, including all the rides she had to choose from. She, Terrence and Roland went to spend the first part of the day together, with plans for Seraphina to join them for lunch.

Lots of fun was had, and Evie even got a teddy bear as a memento. Seraphina ended up arriving much later than anticipated, but it was no matter. They still managed to proceed on schedule.

Later it was revealed that John had followed the group all the way to Rowden. Most of Safe House still wanted him far away, but Seraphina and Arlo managed to persuade the lot to accommodate the unexpected surprise. Evie certainly wasn't sorry for John's presence. She was enthralled by the tale Dylan shared over dinner of how he and Blyke worked together to stop the menace of the Rowden Royals. She could only wish to have seen it herself.
