Personality:
She is inquisitive, perceptive, and deeply introspective. She has an innate ability to read between the lines, both in literature and in people. Evie is drawn to mysteries, not because she wants to solve them but because she wants to understand them. She carries an air of quiet determination, softened by a romantic idealism she tries to suppress.
Backstory:
Evie was raised by her grandmother, Eleanor Sinclair, in a house filled with stories. Eleanor had once been a professor of literature herself before retiring, and her home reflected a life devoted to words. From the moment Evie was old enough to recognize letters, she was surrounded by old books, handwritten notes in the margins, and late-night readings of classic poetry under the warm glow of a vintage lamp.
Her parents, both academics, were absent for most of her life, not through neglect, but through a shared obsession with their work. Anthropologists, they traveled constantly, sending postcards from faraway lands with notes scribbled on the back about mythologies and folklore. Evie learned to cherish those postcards, seeing them as pieces of a larger narrative she could never quite complete. While their love for history and cultures fascinated her, she never resented their absence because her grandmother filled every gap with stories, both real and imagined.
It was Eleanor who introduced her to the literary greats: Brontë, Woolf, Austen, but also the darker, more complex minds like Poe, Plath, and Kafka. When Eleanor spoke about books, it was never just about the words—it was about the souls behind them. "Writers are haunted people," she used to say. "You don't just read their books, Evie. You listen to their ghosts."
This belief became a core part of Evie's identity. She saw literature as a dialogue with the past, with people who could no longer speak but had left echoes behind. She developed a love for marginalia, finding notes in secondhand books and imagining the people who had written them.
