Evelyn Aldrich

## Personality

Evelyn is a confident and lively person who tries to get along with mostly everyone without taking in too much consideration of any grudges that her friends and loved ones may hold against the person in question. A rebellious individual, she is often inclined to oppose suggestions from her elders that she deems limiting in her pursuit of freedom. Extroverted by nature, Evelyn is typically found wandering below or outside the school and bantering with her fellow classmates and friends. Despite her lighthearted sarcastic remarks and jests, she is fiercely loyal to the people of whom she cares deeply about, though she does not express her more sentimental opinions unless in a more private location to avoid her words being overheard and used against her. Evelyn has a tendency to make impulsive and reckless decisions during confrontations and has little to no self-preservation because of this. With little to no filter on her words, she is often thought to be slightly eccentric.

## Appearance

As the shortest in her family, Evelyn often wears platform shoes to gain more height when talking to her taller peers, though she does still suffer from the occasional ankle injury due to this. She sports a variety of vibrant cardigans and sweaters whose colour schemes tend to clash with the rest of her outfit, much to the annoyance of her fashion designer mother. Her wavy hair is tied up in a ponytail whilst her unevenly cut bangs often covers her lilac eyes accentuated with eyeliner. To the unobserving eye, her hair colour is seemingly consistent, though every few weeks it has a tendency to change in shade and saturation. She claims the change is natural, perhaps changing from exposure to sunlight, though the colour of her hair roots is often a completely different colour in comparison to the rest of her hair. For more formal events, she wears a muted skater dress though she finds them restricting and impractical. Scars from past athletic injuries are found on her limbs and oval shaped visage, along with two beauty marks underneath her left eye and near her lips.

## Early Life

Evelyn's childhood was quite idyllic. Born in a large family with multiple competitors, she quickly learnt that some words were best not to be uttered in public. Despite this, she still often requires reminders that conversations have consequences.

As the younger child of Harmonika, she struggles with being overshadowed by Ashlynn whose identity requires far more secrecy and thus being showered with more attention than Evelyn believes she actually needs. With the spotlight focused on her sister, Evelyn is given far more freedom and often wanders around the town either alone or with company.

When the news of Audrielle's death spread across her extended family, Evelyn spent the majority of her days over at her cousins' house to provide solace. However, a small part of her could not help but worry over her own mother's workload. The apprehensive thoughts quickly grew alongside guilt and she soon made the decision to reduce adding to her parents' burdens.

## Relationships

### Ashlynn Aldrich

Being the youngest out of two, her sister Ashlynn had always been in her life. Her competitive nature stemmed from the low expectations given to her by adults who had met her sister before her, and from this lead to her being more distant around Ashlynn in public to prevent others from mistaking the two as sharing a similar personality. Despite all this, she does still begrudgingly hold a bit of endearment for her sister.

### Estella Aldrich

Estella is Evelyn's closest relative and often her confidant. The two are often seen exchanging quips and during Evelyn's childhood, she often found herself spending more time at her cousin's residence than her own.

## Quotes

* “I bet phoenixes taste like burnt potato chips.”
* ”Can’t argue with that logic. *Kaboom* indeed, my fabulous robot friend.”
* “Dear me, how *naïve* can you be to believe every little lie spoon-fed to you by your parents? You rely solely on selective intel, and maternal love has blinded you. Of course, you can hold on to the belief that your beloved father is too busy to keep secrets. But do keep in mind that most people are preoccupied *because* they have all the more to hide.”
* "Woah... sounding awfully totalitarian there, Estella. This is exactly what George Orwell's hit book 1984 was warning us about."

* Over the course of several years, Evelyn has developed a soft side for reptiles and even ended up acquiring a snake called Ivory as her familiar.
* “Ant” was a nickname bestowed to her by her cousin, Estella, who had suggested that she might’ve been mistaken for an ant given her height as the shortest of the Aldrichs.
* Evelyn holds a strong dislike for her ability, Sensorial Alterations, due to its occasional unprompted outbursts. The ability may sometimes alter the sound of her voice to everyone except her in a small radius and change it to sound like the volume had gone haywire, increasing and decreasing in sound and pitch without her knowing. This, obviously, ends up being quite a nuisance in social events.
