What can she say? Something about being born and raised in a New Orleans Creole family gave Evie the cooking bug somethin’ fierce. She loved, when she was little, to stand on her mama’s feet and help out with whatever was brewing on the stovetop, and that’s carried on well in to her teenage years. The only difference is, with her mother passed on, she cooks for the entire family. A lot of people might see this as a necessity, but for Evie, cooking provides a relief of stress that she doesn’t oft find otherwise. After all, hobbies are hard when you have three brothers to look after!

Ragtime Piano: This one developed only a few short years ago. She was at an old piano store, found the sheet music, and started fiddling along with a simpler melody. Ever since, ragtime piano has fascinated the young woman, and she takes to it whenever she can. True, she’s not good enough for gigs yet, or even really all that good at it, but who said you had to be great? You don’t have to play well to enjoy something.

Film: Her papa had a thing for old films, and used to sit her down on his lap to play the mystery and slasher flicks for his little girl. Evie fell in love with the old movies. The grainy screen, the use of shadow and light, the way things were accentuated...and that was what led her to approach Film as a hobby, rather than just an interest. She actively watches old movies and shows to get ideas for her own activities, and it’s rare to see her without a camera in hand.


Virtues:
"Here we go Now!" || Energertic
Evie is one of the most upbeat women you will ever meet. She's good to go, even on the coldest of mornings, up at the crack of dawn, and quick to get to work. There's always a smile ready on her face, and she is always buzzing around, finding things that she /can/ do to assist fellow students. This energy transcends to many parts of her life. From being up on time, to making sure she's always busy, it fuels her, making her a very productive person. It can get to be a bit excess, however, as it can tend to be a bit of an overreach. Sometimes, she puts too much of herself into things, and this can tire her out, making her anxious and uneasy. This will bring her to pester someone in authority, asking them about what she can do next, or how she can fix mistakes. It's a gift, this brightness, but she's still trying to learn how to keep it in check.

"Come to me!" || Altruistic
Evangeline is also always ready to lend a helping hand. Her love for life, and for her friends, is evident in everything she does. There's rarely a harsh word to fall from those lips, and even when she gets angry, she's cautious not to get too crude. She's the first person to step up and offer her help to those in need. Her heart goes out to them, and she'll give every bit of herself to ensure that they are safe and happy. This extends to any life. Children, animals, people, all of them are within her range of care. She likes to be able to make someone smile, the light it brings to their face bringing that ready smile to her own. Even if her mind is constantly distracted, or working, she's the first to offer a hug, or a shoulder to cry on for even the most brutish of people. She wants nothing more than the happiness of others!

"So little Time." || Productive
With her energy and warmth comes a feeling of need to be active. She's consistently making sure her hands are busy with something, be it a simple task, or one that takes her hours to complete. Even when she's buried deep in a book, Evie's well known for being the sort to go to if you need anything done. She loves busy work, a way to keep her from having any idle time to over-think things, which is something she's never been fond of. She's usually seen wandering a bit aimlessly, sometimes pausing to talk to people, but even in that, her hands always have something clutched within them, twisting and turning it about, even as she concentrates or speaks to another.

Flaws:
"...Who do you think you are?" || Suspicious
While Evie might enjoy having people around her, and be more warm than some people might otherwise be, until she gets to know you...you're not likely to get much out of her. Intrinsically, this girl is the sort to keep people she doesn't know well at bay. To be completely honest, it's why she watches her classmates, and schoolmates like a hawk. True, she will show them a good face, a bright smile and eager attitude, but behind it is a very calculating mind. She knows that there's much more to people than meets the eye! It takes a driven person to get past her suspicions, and she's learned, over her time in public school, that she needs to act nice, to know more...and so Evie lives her life. Ever watchful.

"Watch Yourself!" || Aggressive
When Evie gets passionate about things, such as her sleuthing or the books she's taken to, it brings out a side of her that....well, you can kind of see why she has a bit of a trouble making friends. Once you've seen behind her normal, peppy, friendly state, it's obvious that Evangeline can get aggressive when she's honestly passionate about things. Her entire being becomes tense and it's not uncommon for her to get to the point of louder, verbal violence. Especially if you insult her, or her interests. Her entire life thus far has been put into studying enough that she could become a great detective, after all! It's obvious that she holds so much in, with her normally sweet nature, yet even the strongest stone has its breaking point. Evie has been known in the past to throw a punch, and occasionally, something more dangerous, if she's offended or pushed past a certain point. In her first few years in High School, this was a serious problem, since she was quick to turn from passion to anger, but time has tempered her into someone more sure of herself.

"So much to See" || Obsessive
There is a lot to the world around her, and with her suspicious nature, Evie's close eye on things often leaves her in a state. She won't leave something alone, if she thinks she might be able to figure it out. Not knowing is a detriment to her, and she'll follow things about until she at last gets a satisfactory answer, even if this means bothering people! She's driven her teachers to irritation before, constantly asking questions until she's satisfied, and even her friends can find it a bit much, since the girl doesn't really have an off switch, or filter.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: She’s got soft, wide eyes with long lashes that sit well in her face. They’re almost the color of jade, or so she’s been told, always accented by a slight line of liner, just enough to make them POP, or so she says.

Clothes:
Oh, the styles of the olden days! When not in a school uniform, you can usually find Evie dressed in old styles from the Thirties through the Fifties! While she’s not much one for muted colors, there are shades of red, brown, and black that thread through all of her wardrobe, and it’s honestly rare to see her venture outside her range of comfort. Though....she’ll admit that maybe jeans are nice on occasion.
