  [General Information] Name: Evie Alexandria Sinclair (Ancestral name: Pendragon)
Nicknames: As a civilian, Evie has no nickname. As a hero, she is known as either Queen Arturia, or simply Arturia. Sometimes Arturia Pendragon.
Titles: Arturia, Queen Arturia, Arturia Pendragon
Age: 21
Birthday: March 10th, 1993
Star Sign: Pisces
Gender: Female
Race: Human with dragon traits
Moral Alignment: Good
[Personal Information]
Occupation: Student, waitress at a maid/cosplay cafe, superhero
Sexuality: Demi-Bisexual, which means that she can be sexually attracted to both men and women, but only after developing a close emotional bond with them. You gotta be her friend before you can progress to more than friends.
Likes: Helping and protecting others, honesty, sweets (especially chocolate), flowers, children, animals, cuddling, feeling like someone cares, punk/emo pop music
Dreams: "If the essence of my being has caused a smile to have appeared upon your face, or a touch of joy within your heart, then in living, I have made my mark."
Dislikes: Liars, dishonorable people, bitter foods, betrayal, being ignored, hospitals/doctors' offices (possibly a fear?).... Herself
Fears: Spiders, small enclosed spaces, being restrained, losing people, people finding out about her depression... Lance.
Darkest Secret: Her own past. Evie blames herself for the death of her parents, and still feels incredibly guilty about it. Her guilt (along with bullying, abuse from her foster families, and a few very bad relationships) drove her to the point of harming herself, and eventually to attempting suicide at the age of 17. Luckily, an older man (who later turned out to be Merlin) talked her out of the act. She has definitely gotten better since then, but even now, she suffers from depression, self-doubt, and emotional instability. She doesn't know exactly why, but the thought of anyone finding out about this terrifies her.
Favourite Food: Strawberry cake, with strawberry cream cheese frosting, and mascarpone filling, with fresh, sliced strawberries. Or any rich seafood dish, such as seafood Alfredo or lobster bisque.
Favourite Drink: Strawberry Mango limonata
Least Favourite Food: She's getting pretty sick of ramen.
Least Favourite Drink: Vanilla shakes
Loyalties: Her friends and teammates. Innocent people, especially children. Camelot, the Knights of the Round Table.
Intelligence Level: Above Average, especially in the history department.
Dominant Hand: Generally right handed, but if necessary, can use her left hand just as well. (Ambidextrous?)
Strengths: Loyalty, determination, handling children and animals
Weaknesses: Her martyr complex, candlestones, claustrophobia, demonic energy, dealing with her emotions/emotional instability, social interaction
Cherished Items:
Excalibur - Yes, King Arthur's sword. It was given to her by Merlin.
Dragonscale Armor - This was also gifted to her by Merlin. It grants her quite a few extra abilities, many of them dragon-related. The dragon scales were given willingly to the wizard by dragons who had recently shed, so no dragons were harmed in the making of this armor. Dragonscale is tougher and lighter than mithril, so it can defend her from almost any attack.
Now, dragons are magical creatures, and every fiber of their being is infused with magic. By wearing armor made from dragons' scales so often, the magic has "leaked" into Evie's body, permanently giving her the traits of a dragon. As of right now, her human side is still dominant. But if she continues to use the armor as long and often as she has been so far, more of the magic will seep into her body, and her dragon side will get stronger.....
Enchanted Amulet - This Celtic amulet was given to her by the spirit of Sir Bedivere, one of the best horsemen in the Knights of the Round Table. It allows her to summon a mighty cherry bay Percheron stallion to her side, whom she has named Crimson Crusader. At nearly eight feet tall, he's an intimidating creature. Not to worry, though, he's a gentle giant if he trusts you. He is extremely loyal, and can run and fly as fast as the strongest wind. Yes, I said "fly". If needed, he can sprout large, powerful wings so that if there's an aerial battle, Evie won't get left out. As a creature of the Astral plane, he is also unable to die, but once injured severely enough, he is forced to leave the Material plane and return home, where he can heal. Unlike her armor, Crimson can remain present even if Evie falls unconscious, and can come out whenever he feels like it, unless he's badly injured. This means that whenever Evie is feeling lonely, Crimson Crusader will appear and keep her company.
On another note, Crimson Crusader is not the only Astral creature that can emerge from the amulet. Technically, anything that resides in the Astral Plane can make use of the gateway, but Crimson is the only creature that Evie can call at will.
Philosophical/ Social Viewpoint: Evie believes that humans are naturally good creatures at heart, but can be corrupted over time, due to traumatic experiences, abuse, greed, power-lust, and so on. Usually, these people can be returned to the path of light, but some are simply too far gone to be saved, and must be either sealed away or destroyed.
Religious Viewpoint: Evie is a Wiccan. Wicca is a form of Paganism, a sort of celebratory nature religion. She generally worships the Greek gods and goddesses, but she has been known to pray to Norse and Celtic deities as well. Her main god and goddess are Apollo and Artemis.
Romantic Viewpoint: Evie is a hopeless romantic, and has had a tendency to fall too fast, too hard, and get too attached. Her previous relationships all resulted in betrayal, abuse, and emotional trauma, which led to nearly crippling self-doubt and a bit of an inferiority complex. Due to her being so used to people hurting her and yelling at her, she doesn't know how to react when someone shows her kindness or affection and actually means it. As such, it really isn't very hard at all to make her blush. Often, she cannot even reply to remarks that come off as suggestive or flirtatious, usually just letting out an adorable surprised or flustered squeak. This is also a weakness for her, since villains can easily throw her off balance with such talk. However, even with this wounded dove-like vulnerability, she is wary of getting into a relationship, for fear of it ending like all of the others. Or, to be more precise, for fear of her doing something wrong and ruining it. She wants someone who won't abandon or betray her, someone she can truly rely on to support and care for her. Of course, he needs to be able to hold his own in a fight. After all, as a superhero, any love interest of hers would be in danger.
Personality
As a civilian, Evie is nearly the textbook definition of a maiden. She's usually quiet and soft-spoken, and very polite. Gentle as a lamb. She tends to be very sensitive and emotional as well, so it doesn't take much to make her cry, and often needs to be comforted. Even with this rather weak impression, she has the fragile grace and beauty of a doe, and her British accent only adds to her charm.
As a heroine, Evie is nearly the exact opposite of her civilian self. She is bold and brave, serious and stoic, and certainly not afraid to speak her mind. Be careful, her tongue is sharp. Fierce as a lioness. She will rarely show much emotion, and when she does, it's usually due to great shock or desperation, or overwhelming circumstances. This side of her possesses the strength and wild, untamable beauty of an eagle.
No, Evie does not have a split personality. Both of these personalities are exactly who she is, just different sides, like those on a coin. Well, her hero personality is exaggerated, but that's only to keep people from figuring out her identity. There are similarities between the two, if you pay attention. She tries to be as honest as she can at all times, and is respectful, compassionate, and kind. She tends to worry about others a lot, which gives the impression of a mother hen hovering over everyone that she holds dear, which isn't too far from the truth. She has very strong maternal instincts, and will often mother people, making sure that they're taking care of themselves, offering to help them whenever they need it, and so on. These traits make her very good with children.
She will never ignore a cry for help, doing everything in her power to assist those in need, regardless of her own situation. This determination is what usually gets her in trouble. She will give, and give, and give, until she has nothing left, and without someone there to make sure that she's taking care of herself, she'll usually end up working herself to the point of a nervous breakdown, or collapsing from exhaustion. Whichever comes first. Even with this hidden need for a caring companion, Evie is not one to trust easily. If she gives you her trust right away, feel privileged, for she will only do that in the most desperate of situations. Otherwise, gaining her trust and getting close to her is an enormous challenge.
She has a tendency to befriend just one or two people, and then latch onto them and follow them around like a lost puppy, even experiencing separation anxiety at times when they're not around, especially after she and them have gotten to be particularly close. She thinks of herself as somewhat clingy in that aspect and tries to avoid acting that way, which only makes her suddenly seem distant and may make things worse.

PUNK YEARS END
Age 19 - Freshman year of college, learns of her heritage from Merlin, receives her armor and Excalibur, and begins training with the knights. Only able to afford very cheap foods like ramen on a maybe nightly basis. Weight drops below 108 lbs, is now considered clinically underweight. Stops self-harming for the most part.
Evie was absolutely distraught when she heard that the world's heroes were disappearing. She had always admired them for their bravery and strength, for their ability to help others so easily. (Of course, she did realize that they also had to deal with quite a bit of stress.) She was even more distraught, though, by the thought of being unable to do a thing about it. She wanted desperately to help, to somehow aid her heroes. But it was too late; they were already gone. Soon enough, though, she felt a strange tug, urging her to return to her childhood home in England. As to why, she had no idea. The large home had been empty for years, ever since her parents had been killed, and it wasn't like there was anything of true importance there. (Not that she knew of, anyway...) So, she ignored it and tried to move along. But the tug kept growing stronger and stronger, until she finally gave in and bought a plane ticket home. When she arrived, she found that as suspected, nothing had changed. Things were exactly as she had left them. Still, the tug remained. After nearly three full days of searching for the source of this persistent feeling, she decided to take a break and go out for a walk in the forest. She eventually found herself in front of an ancient-looking tree that stood next to a crystal-clear stream. She'd never been here before....
When she looked back at the tree, there was an old man standing before her, clad in robes of royal blue, embroidered with silver stars and arcane patterns. In his withered hands, he held a magnificent sword engraved with runes. Spellbound, Evie stood paralyzed as the man spoke. He told her that he had waited a very long time for this moment, when he would have to bestow this sword, and the title that came with it, upon one of Arthur's descendants. He said that he had sensed that the world was in danger, and that many other powerful beings were awakening on both sides, good and evil. It was time for King Arthur's legacy to continue. She was told not to fear, for she would find much support on the side of good, and would not be alone in her quest for truth and peace. It was at this point when Evie realized that this old man was Merlin himself, and that the sword he held was the legendary Excalibur. The ancient wizard gifted her the sword, as well as an enchanted suit of armor, before fading away. The next thing she knew, Evie was back in her family home, holding the precious gifts in her arms.
Over the next few months, Evie was visited in her dreams by the spirits of the Knights of the Round Table and trained in the ways of chivalry. They taught her to fight with a sword and dagger, and to shoot as accurately as possible with a bow, even when on horseback. She was a quick learner, having done much research in the past, and completed her training in a little less than a year. She was ready to begin her role as a hero.
Age 20 - Weight continues to slowly drop. Regularly gets sick due to malnutrition impacting her immune system.
Age 21 - Finishes her training, and after a few months, goes "international" as a hero. Currently weighs ~95 lbs, severely underweight.
[Relationship Information] Friends:
○ Merlin | Good | Mentor
Merlin has taught Evie many things, including history, the arts, etiquette, and other such skills. He looks out for her and warns her of coming trouble, albeit in an ambiguously cryptic way. Sometimes in verse (poem form).
○ Knights of the Round Table | Good | Mentors/Surrogate family, sorta
The knights have also taught her numerous skills, including strategy, the code of chivalry, swordplay, and other such weapons training. They also look out for her, though more in a friendly support kind of way, like a family. However, if they were able to, they would be more than willing to support her in battle.
Enemies:
○ Lance Dulac | Evil | Destined Archenemy
(They haven't officially met yet, but when they do....)
To say that Evie is not fond of Lance would be an understatement. She doesn't hate him, though. Her feelings towards him are more akin to fear and confusion than anything else. She doesn't understand why he's so determined to capture her. Since he's sort of the Mordred to her King Arthur, shouldn't he be out to kill her? And what's with all of this talk about him having her at his side? Evie finds this to be more than a bit confusing, and very disturbing. But Lance is clearly stronger than her, and could kill her easily if he wanted to, once he had her beat, but refuses to do so. This scares her immensely. What on earth does he want with her...?
○ Morgan Le Fay | Evil | Sworn Enemy
Morgan hates Merlin, and his "creation" of the hero Arturia ticks her off. She is determined to destroy this next link in the legend, whether it be mentally, physically, or any other way. The sorceress is already trying to drive Evie to a mental breakdown and even to suicide via horrific nightmares and other things, such as eventual sensory deprivation and hallucinations.
Family:
○ King Arthur | Good | Ancestor
Arthur is very fond of Evie and rather protective of her, and tends to act almost as a father figure. He also gives advice, but he is much more straight to the point.
Romantic Relationships:
○ Character Name as Url Link | Force They Belong To | Relationship Type

[Weapon Information]
○ Excalibur: This legendary sword is Evie's weapon of choice. Since it was blessed by Loucetios, Celtic god of light, the weapon has light attributes, making it strong against creatures of darkness and the undead.
○ Mongol Bow: Evie uses this for long distance fighting, and can use it on horseback as well. She's quite talented with her bow, though not quite as good as the Green Arrow. She'd love to get some tips from him.
○ Carnwennan: King Arthur's dagger. Evie rarely uses this weapon, only wielding it in very close combat, when hand-to-hand isn't appropriate. She carries it around at all times.
[Ability Information]
○ Space Manipulation: Evie can connect doors. That's about it. Still, it is quite useful. Say she was in her room at home, and needed to get to work instantly. She could manipulate space in such a way that when she opened the door to leave her room, it would lead to her workplace, instead of the hallway. Things like that. It's very useful for getting around quickly.
○ Healing: Excalibur's sheath will protect the holder from most life-threatening injuries, and accelerate the healing process to about half the time it would usually take for most injuries. The longest it will take any wound to heal is around three or four days. The healing is painless for the most part, and will not leave a scar. (Of course, Evie can still be seriously injured, but she probably won't die, unless cleaved in half, or stabbed through the heart, or something extreme like that.) If necessary, she can even heal others. While Excalibur's sheath only releases its healing magic to the wielder, it is up to her on what to do with it. She draws the magic into herself and then transfers it to the other person in a simple energy transfer, much like when she channels her aura energy into Excalibur.
○ Divine Light: Evie empowers Excalibur with the divine power of Loucetios, making the blade shine with a "holy" light that wards away dark spirits and creatures. With this, she can force demons or evil entities out of someone's body with a simple touch with the tip of the sword to the person's body. As expected, it is incredibly effective against demons.
○ *Aura Strike/Blast: Evie can channel her aura energy into Excalibur, which amplifies it and sends it back. This process is repeated over and over, resulting in an extremely powerful aura attack. It can disrupt magic that isn't her own, as well as weak psychic energy. If strong enough, the attack can even disrupt her opponent's own aura.
*Note: If used while Divine Light is active, the attack becomes either a Holy Aura Strike or a Holy Aura Blast, depending on how the energy is released.
The following abilities are due to her dragon traits. Because her human side is still dominant, her dragon traits generally lie dormant, or are "turned off", when she isn't wearing her armor, allowing her to pass as a perfectly normal human, but whenever she feels the need, she can simply tap into them and turn them back on.
○ Dragon Strength: Her armor gives her the strength of a dragon. While nowhere near as powerful as Superboy or Wonder Boy, she can still be a formidable force. No one is exactly sure how strong she really is, but it has been estimated to around 16 tons, or approximately 2 elephants.
○ Dragon Defense: Evie's armor is nearly impenetrable, and will protect her from most attacks. It allows her to react faster to incoming attacks so that she can either dodge or block in time to avoid as much damage as possible. She herself is more durable as well.
○ Dragon Senses: Her sense of hearing and sight are greatly enhanced. As a bonus, so is her intuition*.
*This simply means that she'll be able to sense certain things about people or events. For example, if someone has bad intentions towards her or one of her allies, she'll get the feeling that they're up to no good. She'll also be able to sense if something has happened to someone she is close to, or if some disaster is about to occur. Once again, she'll just get a bad feeling and feel a bit nervous and worried.
○ Fire Immunity: Because her armor is made of dragon scales, it will protect her entire body, including parts that aren't covered, from fire of any kind. She has walked through blazing infernos without even a single burn, usually to get people out of burning buildings. She could even immerse herself in lava if she wanted to. Not that she ever would.
○ Dragon Rage: This is a sort of berserker state, induced by intense anger, fear, or a life or death combat situation. Her draconian abilities temporarily take over, doubling the strength of Evie's abilities for a short time (around 5-6 posts, maybe?) and giving her access to a few extra. When in this state, she will not feel fear or pain (or at least, very little pain), but unlike the typical berserker state, she retains most of her intelligence and reasoning. You can tell when she is in Dragon Rage mode by small physical changes, such as longer, sharper canine teeth (dragon fangs), seemingly glowing eyes, and her voice will sound ever so slightly lower and more like growling. However, this ability exhausts her very quickly. Slight chance of true berserker behavior.
○ Dragon Roar: This is a very simple ability, but Evie can only use it once, and only when she is in Dragon Rage mode. She opens her mouth as if to scream, but instead of a scream, a powerful dragon's roar is released, potentially deafening anyone within a 60-foot radius, disrupting their balance, and shattering nearby glass, much like a sonic scream would. After using this, though, it is unlikely that she will be able to speak for a few hours while her vocal cords repair themselves.
○ Dragon Aura: Certain emotions and personality traits are also heightened, such as anger, determination, courage, and recklessness. These emotions are reflected in Evie's aura, which will become visible and take the shape of an adolescent dragon. This ethereal dragon will fire off powerful Aura Blasts at potential threats and strengthen any aura attacks that Evie uses. Can only be used during Dragon Rage.The below abilities are currently locked.Stage Two
Dragon Roar and Dragon Aura can now be used at any time. Formation of small scales around the eyes during Dragon Rage. Dragon Rage now lasts about seven posts. Greater chance of it being triggered. Greater chance of true berserker behavior being triggered.
○ Fire Breath: Pretty self-explanatory. She breathes a stream of intense fire that can reach up to approximately 15-20 feet in length. Protective scaling on the inside of her mouth temporarily forms to protect her from burning herself, even though she is already immune to fire. The angrier she is, the hotter the flame. Can only be used during Dragon Rage.
○ Intimidation Aura: Evie uses the dragon magic in her body to make herself seem to appear larger , fiercer, and more intimidating. The magic also affects nearby people in that it enhances any fear or unease they may feel around her. She doesn't like this ability, but she will admit that it is rather useful when she is questioning someone.
Stage Three
Scales and fangs are now present at all times. Fire Breath can be used at any time. Dragon Rage lasts eight posts, much greater chance of it being triggered. True berserker behavior more likely.
○ Wings: Evie channels all of the dragon magic in her body to her back to form wings, strong enough to allow her to fly for short distances. Because she channels all of the magic into her wings, her other dragon abilities are inaccessible during the duration of her use of this ability. [Weakness Information]
○ Claustrophobia: Fear of small, enclosed spaces. When trapped in a small space (large elevator or smaller) for longer than fifteen minutes, she usually faints from terror.
○ Candlestones: Since wearing her armor so often has given her permanent dragon traits, candlestones, which leech the strength from dragons, will steal her energy and weaken her. Constant long-term exposure can weaken her to the point of falling into a coma, and even death.
○ Exhaustion: Evie has a bad habit of pushing herself past her limits, especially in combat. While her armor sustains her abilities for the most part, it does gradually drain her energy. Using her Dragon Rage ability drains her very quickly, though. Usually, she will stumble and fall to the ground, unable to move after using it. She'll often overwork herself in general.
○ Martyr Complex: There are two facets to this. One, she willfully suffers in the name of love or duty. For example, even though she knows that she is slowly working herself to death by attending college, working every shift she is needed at the café, and performing her hero duties on an almost nightly basis on next to nothing in terms of sleep or nutrition, she just keeps going, because she thinks that they are all far too important to take a break on. In some situations, she may subconsciously seek suffering or persecution, probably because she thinks that she deserves it. Two is explained here.
○ Demonic/Dark Energy: Evie is very much a creature of light, and as such, is easily overwhelmed by dark or demonic energy. Just being near a demonic presence will make her feel mildly ill, with a slight headache and nausea. Dark auras, energy blasts, miasmas, etc, sap at her strength and make her feel cold and disoriented, affecting her so much that she will even feel cold to the touch. Being exposed to it for too long can result in collapse.
○ Mind Games: It isn't too hard to get into Evie's head, being as she has a tendency to overthink things, and she generally isn't hard to manipulate as long as she's unaware that that's what's being done.
○ Insecurity: As a result of all of the abuse and mistreatment she's experienced, Evie's self-worth is almost nonexistent. She constantly doubts herself and sees little to no reason to be valued, other than as a heroine, and even then, she doesn't really think that she's particularly strong, or fast, or powerful. As far as she's concerned, she's just kind of... there. On a related topic, self-loathing is also an issue for her. It isn't hard to use this against her, as persistently pointing out or reminding her of her perceived flaws can quickly send her into an emotional meltdown, leaving her extremely vulnerable.
○ Social Anxiety Disorder: This particular issue results in intense fear and even panic in social situations, causing considerable distress and impaired ability to function in at least some parts of daily life. Physical symptoms often include excessive blushing, trembling, palpitations, and nausea. In short, Evie doesn't handle socializing very well. Being around people that she doesn't know makes her extremely uncomfortable and results in her seeming timid and withdrawn, making it difficult for her to open up and make friends. She manages to hide this pretty well when she needs to, such as when she's at work, but behind that smile, she wants nothing more than to run and hide.
○ True Berserker State: When she enters a true berserker state, she cannot calm down on her own, and it will not wear off unless she is too severely injured to continue or otherwise unable to fight. Someone she is very close to has to calm her down, and if that doesn't work, she has to be knocked out. The person trying to calm her down must roll a random number, 1-10. 5 or below is a failed attempt, resulting in her needing to be subdued.

 [General Information]
Name: Evie Alexandria Sinclair
Nicknames:
Titles: King Arthur, Pendragon
Age: 22
Birthday: March 10th
Star sign: Pisces
Gender: Female. However, when Arthur is in charge, masculine pronouns (he/him) are preferred. When referring to both Evie and Arthur together, they/them should be used.
Race: Human (Divinely Blessed)
Alliance: Hero
Personality: Evie is a people pleaser, probably to a fault. She always tries to be kind, polite, and honest, and she tries to help others as much as she possibly can, whether she's in costume or not. However, her dedication to doing good can get her in over her head, especially when combined with her determination to see things through to the end, and her fear of failure. Still, she does somewhat know her limits. If she knows she absolutely cannot win by any means, she will retreat. After all, she can't do anyone any good if she's dead.
Not to mention her friends would miss her. She may have her issues, but she still knows that her friends love her and worry about her, and like with anyone she cares about, she would go to the ends of the earth to protect them and make sure they're happy. Evie has a big heart with lots of love to share and even more compassion. She's a little shy at first, but once you get to know her, she's more than happy to extend all of that to you, too.
Deep down though, she's still a child at heart. She loves praise and attention, and she likes jumping in puddles and making forts in the living room, and she's fascinated by learning new things, whether it be about animals, new people, different cultures, or how things work and are made. She's idealistic and full of hope for others, and she's working on hope for herself, too.
[Personal Information]
Height: 5'2"
Weight: ~125 lbs
Occupation: She works at a local bakery/coffee shop. She also has her job as a hero.
Sexuality: Demisexual Biromantic. Basically, you have to develop a close emotional bond with her before she can feel sexually attracted to you.
Likes: Being praised and shown affection (especially physical affection. Even just a pat on the back or ruffling her hair will make her day), good food and drink, cute outfits, nail art, really soft or fluffy things, scented candles and bath products, glitter, the ocean, mythology, and vanilla butter cookies.
Dreams: If you ask her, she’ll tell you that she just wants help people and make the world a better place. Even if it means sacrificing herself in the process. However, what she really wants is to be loved and accepted and appreciated by someone. After that, she would love to be able to restore her old home to its former glory and move back into it with a significant other, where they can start a family.
Dislikes: Being ignored or scolded, injustice, bullies, making mistakes
Fears: People hating her, spiders, uncontrolled fires, loneliness, failure, not being good enough, rejection.
Darkest Secret: Feeling more lost and alone than ever, she attempted suicide the day after her 18th birthday. Luckily she was found and taken to the hospital in time, but she now has a nasty scar on her left wrist that she keeps covered at all costs.
Favourite Food: Strawberry cake with strawberry cream cheese frosting! Or maybe seafood alfredo....
Favourite Drink: Strawberry mango limonata. Also, pretty much any kind of moscato or other sweet dessert wine.
Least Favourite Food: Avocados. Seriously, why is everyone obsessed with them?
Least Favourite Drink: Skim milk. What’s the point of drinking milk if it’s fat free? It just tastes like water!
Loyalties: Friends and loved ones
Intelligence Level: Her IQ is about 135, meaning that she is gifted.
Dominant Hand: Ambidextrous, though she slightly favors her right.
Strengths: Loyal, determination, strong swimmer, quick learner, enjoys learning, excellent in the kitchen, great listener, hard-working, always striving to do better
Weaknesses: Can be stubborn, takes most criticism very personally, doesn't really know how to handle her emotions in healthy ways (but she's working on it!)
Cherished Items: Locket with a picture of her and her parents, a safe containing some things that belonged to her parents and the deed to her childhood home, and her ring from Knights' Club.
Philosophical/social viewpoint: She believes that people start out naturally good, but can be turned to the path of darkness by trauma, greed, bad influences, bad circumstances, or other things. Some can be returned to the path of light, but not all. Overall, though, she thinks the world can be both a beautifully wonderful and terrifyingly cruel place.
Religious viewpoint: Evie definitely believes in a higher being. After all, she's met Them, and They're the one who gave her her powers. However, she's not entirely sure how she feels about Them, and she doesn't really worship Them. She just acknowledges that They exist and have influence in the world. Before meeting Them, she was an actively practicing Wiccan. She doesn't really practice the religion part anymore, but she still casts the occasional spell and keeps an altar, and she enjoys celebrating the sabbats. Comfort in the familiar, she supposes.
Romantic viewpoint: Evie loves romance. She loves the thought of being in love, of going out on dates, of doing all those sappy romantic things that couples do, of being happy and silly and affectionate with someone. However, she knows better than to ever expect that for herself. She's so busy with all of her duties as a hero, a student, and an employee, she just doesn't have time for it. Besides, she'd be too terrified of them rejecting her after they start seeing her flaws.
Biography
As a child, Evie had everything she possibly could have wanted. She had a big, luxurious home in the countryside, a mountain of toys, books, and games, and loving, doting, wonderful parents, the kind that would always read her bedtime stories and take her out to the park, and who celebrated whenever she got a good grade at school, or when she accomplished something she’d been trying to do. Together, they were the kind of family that went out for picnics in the summer and went ice skating in winter, the kind that would all sing goofy songs and flick flour at each other as they made vanilla butter cookies, and then eat them fresh out of the oven as they watched a movie together. Evie couldn’t possibly have asked for better.
But tragically, it wasn’t meant to last. When she was nine, a housefire took it all away, leaving her an orphan and her home a mostly charred husk. And without any other relatives to take her in, a scared and confused Evie Sinclair was put into the foster system.
The social workers kept telling her that she’d be adopted eventually; she just had to be patient and wait for the right family to come along, but after a couple of years of seeing all her peers being adopted while she was just moved from one family to the next, over, and over, and over again, she decided the fault was in herself. She wasn’t good enough to be adopted. So from that moment forward, she started working her hardest to get straight A’s in school, involving herself in extracurriculars, helping out as much as possible around the house, and trying her best to always be polite and respectful, basically trying to be the perfect child. Still, she didn’t get adopted. She still wasn’t good enough.
So when she was old enough, she started doing volunteer work, too, and then she got a job. She signed up for AP courses and started preparing for university early. And still, she wasn’t adopted. With every rejection, she was driven to work harder and harder, running herself ragged in the pursuit of perfection. She wanted, no, needed to be adopted. She needed a family, needed that love and affection she’d known with her parents. Even if it meant exhausting herself to the point of collapse, she’d do anything to earn even a chance at having that again.
But all of her effort was for naught. On her 18th birthday, Evie Alexandria Sinclair aged out of the foster system and was thrown out into the big, wide world on her own. It just didn’t make sense to her. She’d done everything she was supposed to, hadn’t she? She was smart, polite, hardworking, and she hardly ever talked back or made a fuss, and she was the top of her class in school and well on her way to success. Wasn’t that the kind of thing parents dreamed about for their children? So why wasn’t it enough? What was so wrong with her that no one wanted her? She just didn't understand.
Without any other real plans, Evie sent herself to university, hoping to find some new purpose for herself. And through some coincidences and chaotic encounters, she did, by joining the Knights' Club. Learning swordsmanship, archery, hand-to-hand combat, and equestrianism, Evie found herself actually having more fun than she'd had in years, and made numerous friends, who have helped fill the familial gap she's had and helped her unlearn some of her perfectionism, as well as helping her find some value in herself.
When the heroes started disappearing, Evie was as concerned as the rest of the world. But soon enough she realized that with the skills she'd learned in Knights' Club, maybe she could do some good herself, at least in her neighborhood. So out onto the streets she went, makeshift costume on and dagger in hand. She made a few mistakes at first, but after a few weeks, she got the hang of things, fending off muggers and burglars and the like. She only wished she could do more.
And that wish would soon be granted. Coming home from a long patrol one night, she walked into her apartment to find that she... wasn't in her apartment. Instead she'd somehow walked into a bright, hazy hall of sorts, and there was an indescribably radiant being standing before her. Of course, Evie was understandably a bit freaked out at first, but the being quickly calmed her down and explained what was happening. She was actually the reincarnation of the legendary King Arthur, and given the state of the world and her recent actions, They believed that she was ready to take on her destined role. To prepare her, They awoke Arthur and blessed Evie with gifts and abilities and directed her to the Lady of the Lake, who presented her with a sword and armor, and a steed to help her adjust to her new role and assist her in her duties. With Crimson and Arthur's help, Evie trained until she was deemed ready to become a fully fledged hero, and once she finished college, she moved to the United States to put her powers to use where they were most needed.
[Relationship information]
Friends:
○ Crimson Crusader | Hero | Sidekick Mount and advisor
This mighty Percheron Pegasus is Evie's steed, sent to her on the instructions of the Lady of the Lake. He stands at around 22 hands high, or about 7 feet at the shoulder, and he is able to fly and talk. Crimson serves as a sort of guiding figure to Evie, helping her come to terms and achieve her destiny with a wisdom and wit hard to find in most species.
Enemies:
To be determined.
Family:
None. She was an only child, and her parents died in a house fire when she was young.
Romantic Relationships:
To be determined.
[Weapon information]
○ Enchanted Sword: Evie was given this sword by the Lady of the Lake. It is enchanted to be far more durable than a normal blade, and allows her to focus magic into it to achieve various effects. It can cut through ordinary steel with ease.
○ Mongol Bow: Evie uses this for long distance fighting, and can use it on horseback as well. She's quite talented with her bow.
○ Dagger: An ordinary dagger. Evie rarely uses this weapon, only wielding it in very close combat, when hand-to-hand isn't appropriate. She carries it around at all times.
[Other item information]
○ Dragonscale Armor: The dragon scales were given willingly by dragons who had recently shed, so no dragons were harmed in the making of this armor. Dragonscale is tougher and lighter than mithril, so it can defend her from almost any attack. It also makes her fireproof! She can summon this on her body at will.
[Ability information]
○ Unique Physiology: Evie is a very unique being. As the reincarnation of Arthur, her soul is literally the same as Arthur's, but instead of being in his form, it has been remolded to fit Evie. Being the reincarnation of Britain's One True King has its perks though, as the container of Arthur's soul is blessed by the Divine Presence and the soul of Arthur can be "released" to access many great abilities.
○ Divine Blessings: As Britain's One True King, Arthur was blessed by God to rule. Whereas Arthur was only given the right to rule and minor supernatural powers, the Presence has since granted Evie a greater means to protect the World via a more obvious power set. These blessings include:
+ The Strength to Carry a Kingdom (Super Strength): Allows Evie to fight on an equal par with the likes of Superman even if she doesn't realize it.
+ The Body to Endeavor and Endure (Enhanced Endurance & Durability): Allows Evie to to fight in situations that most other humans would be unable to. She can fight harder and for longer than most, and is able to take most blunt force with relative ease, even without armor. However, like Diana of Thymescira, Evie is vulnerable to wounds of a piercing/cutting nature as long as a sufficient amount of force is applied.
+ The Mind to Govern Fairly (Enhanced Intelligence and Strategic Thinking): Makes Evie naturally smarter and more capable as both a tactician and a diplomat.
+ The Body to Cross Swords and Meet Threats (Enhanced Reflexes & Agility): Helps Evie to defend herself. She is faster acting and more nimble than your average human being.
+ The Body to Re-Enter the Fray (Healing Factor and Super Immunity): Allows Evie to heal faster and better than a normal human being and fight off disease or poisons that would be somewhat devastating to an average person.
○ Soul Magic: Unleashing the power of Arthur's soul has some nice benefits, in terms of powers.
+ Aura of a King: Makes her seem bigger, more confident, more intimidating, and more powerful to everyone nearby. May compel those with weaker wills to do as she says. She's not overly fond of this ability.
+ Soul Switch: Not truly a switch, since they share the same soul, but with this, Arthur takes over Evie's body for a time, heightening her skills.
+ Spirit Summon: Allows Evie to summon a spirit to her side to physically help her fight.
Level One (Arthur): Evie summons King Arthur himself to fight beside her. However, since they share the same soul, their soul is split between them during this time. Any damage done to Evie will also be done to Arthur, and vice versa. He disappears once she dismisses him, or once she no longer has enough energy to sustain his form (about 7 posts).
Level Two (Pendragon): Evie summons a physical representation of her royal title, which is a large, powerful dragon. This dragon can fire energy blasts! It disappears once she dismisses it, or once she no longer has enough energy to sustain it (about 5 posts).
Level Three (Round Table): Evie summons the spirits of the other knights of the Round Table. They disappear once she dismisses them, or once she no longer has enough energy to sustain their forms (about 3 posts).
○ Sword Magic: Evie can use magic to strengthen her sword attacks and add effects.
+ Fire: Allows Evie to coat her sword in fire.
+ Lightning: Allows her to shoot lightning from her sword.
+ Holy Light: Her sword glows with a golden light and emits holy energy while this is active. Super effective against the undead, demons, and those with the powers of darkness!
+ Energy Strike/Blast: Evie can concentrate pure magical energy or any of the three above in her blade to enhance her attacks. Or, she can release it all in one huge blast. The longer she concentrates the energy, the more powerful the attack (As relative to someone like her, in terms of strength and durability: 1 post = minor damage, 2 posts = moderate damage, 3 posts = severe damage).
○ Swordsmanship: She is a near master of the sword. After all, what kind of knight can't handle a blade? Trained in Knights' Club at her university, with the help of Arthur.
○ Archery: She may not be a master yet, but she's still a lot better than most. Trained in Knights' Club at her university.
○ Equestrianism: Okay, this she is a master of. She's always been talented with horses, even when she was a small child, and having now learned to handle a Pegasus, she can handle and ride pretty much any equine. Polished this skill in Knights' Club at her university.
[Weakness information]
○ Pyrophobia: Fear of fire. Or in her case, uncontrolled fires, specifically. Candles and small bonfires and such are fine, but building fires or wildfires absolutely terrify her, since the former was how she lost her parents and childhood home. If faced with a raging, uncontrolled fire, Evie will freeze up and panic, and may even have flashbacks of the traumatic event that left her with this fear.
○ Piercing Wounds: Evie is vulnerable to wounds of a piercing/cutting nature as long as a sufficient amount of force is applied.
○ Soul Splitting: Since Evie and Arthur share the same soul, their soul is partially split between them when Evie uses Spirit Summon to call Arthur to her side. Theoretically, someone could split their soul in two during this, separating them. If this were to happen, Evie would lose her powers, and they would both only have half a soul each. Not only this, but if the person can manage to integrate Arthur's half into their own soul, they would become Arthur, in a sense, and gain the powers that come with that.
○ Inferiority Complex: Evie has a very hard time believing that she is enough by any meaning. Because of the way she spent most of her childhood always focused on her flaws and how to get rid of them and improve herself, it's difficult for her to see that her good qualities far outweigh the bad. After all, if that were really the case, then why didn't anyone want her?
○ Perfectionism: Not as bad as it used to be, but she is still her own worst critic and will beat herself up over even minor mistakes if she thinks she can do better or that it could have been avoided. It's even worse if someone else points out the mistake as well. While this can make her strive to work harder and do better in the future, it can also lead her to overwork herself and become self-destructive in her pursuit for improvement.

Miscellaneous Fun Facts
Evelyn
♥ Is simultaneously fascinated and terrified by the ocean.
♥ Is a slight adrenaline junkie.
♥ Has a low heat tolerance, but eats spicy food anyway, both to increase her tolerance and as a matter of pride. She refuses to be defeated by something like a plate of goddamn curry.
♥ Loves motorcycles and fast cars. She especially loves flying down the highway with the top down and radio cranked up. Nothing beats singing Tom Petty at the top of your lungs while the wind whips through your hair.
♥ Says she'd rather live with the terrifying truth than a pretty lie, but in practice, tends to live by lies in order to cope. This is especially relevant to her situation with George and that failed mission. Deep down, she knows that what he did was what was best for the unit, and he did all he could before being forced to leave her behind. However, she still feels betrayed and hurt and doesn't know what to do with her trauma besides blame him for what happened.
♥ Had the military not been such a huge part of her life growing up, she likely would have gone on to be a punk musician. She's been told she sounds like Lzzy Hale.
♥ Really wants a tattoo, but doesn't know what kind of tattoo to get.
♥ Owns leather everything. Pants, skirts, jackets, tops, boots, gloves, accessories.... She can almost put together an all leather outfit.
♥ Has a ton of pins on her messenger bag. Most of them have to do with social activism. Her two favorites say, "We're Here, We're Queer, Get Used To It", and "Respect Existence or Expect Resistance".
♥ Loves both Star Wars and Star Trek, but loves Star Wars just a little more. Deeply attached to Finn, Rey, and Leia. Blatantly ignores her similarities to Kylo Ren.
♥ Is definitely a night owl.
♥ Cannot be compared to baked goods. Evelyn is whiskey with honey. As someone else has put it: "A strong taste that’ll burn your throat but is also undeniably sweet, it warms you up and gets you all fuzzy and giddy but at the same time it can definitely ******** you up."
♥ Chaotic Neutral at best.
♥ Says she's not sentimental, yet has kept every single one of her yearbooks and buys souvenirs and takes pictures everywhere she goes, and refuses to get rid of things that were given to her by certain people.
♥ Really likes strawberry moonshine.
♥ Gets really excited about dinosaurs, and by extension, birds. Almost cried the first time she saw Jurassic Park.
♥ Sometimes gets mad at herself for crying. Other times, she's just too overwhelmed to care. Probably gets mad at herself later, though.
♥ Would rather burn bright and fast and go out in a blaze of glory. "I'm here for a good time, not a long time," as she says. She can't imagine herself past her forties, and that's only if she really tries. She doesn't like looking to the future.
♥ Avoids confronting or even acknowledging her problems like the plague.
♥ Upon becoming a Yellow Lantern and meeting aliens for the first time, one of the first things she asked was, "What are we to you? What are humans known for throughout the galaxy?" She won't say what the answer was, but she seems disappointed.
♥ Loves kaiju films and Will Fight You if you have a problem with them and are obnoxious about it. Like, she understands that they're not for everyone and there are genuine criticisms to be made, but if you spend the whole movie just talking s**t about the special effects or bitching about how unrealistic it is, she's gonna tell you to either shut up and let other people enjoy the film, or stop watching and leave. Although she's just as likely to just punch you out.
♥ Somehow always ends up watching recipe videos at 1 AM, then gets angry because now she's hungry and she doesn't have the ingredients to make any of the recipes she just watched. Also, "I don't want to do all the prep work and wait for it to cook, I want to eat it now!"
♥ Surprisingly organized and meticulous about details, but only because of her time in the military. It's more out of habit than personal preference.
♥ Unironically loves vaporwave.
♥ Frequently uses the Murder Walk. For those that don't know what that is, you square your shoulders, stand tall, think "murder", and just walk. If you do it right, it somehow gives you an intimidating aura and people will part like the Red Sea to get out of your path. It helps if you wear comfy shoes, though.
♥ A Meme-Loving ********/>♥ Horribly weak for redheads. And green eyes. And muscles. What do you mean that makes George her kryptonite, what are you talking about
♥ ******** loves comic books, and got super excited when she found out George creates his own. She was super supportive and even helped him by posing for his action studies. After she "died", George created a character in his comic books after her as a tribute, named Tasha Faik, AKA Bluebird. She hasn't found out about this yet, but when she does, she'll probably cry.
♥ Doesn't care if it's 90 degrees out and she's suffering because she's wearing leather, she will die before she abandons her civilian aesthetic.

♥ HATES getting sick and whines like a toddler when she does. Tends to get high fevers. Illnesses tend to hit her hard and with little to no warning, so she'll be fine one day, and pretty much incapacitated the next.
♥ Wants a pet armadillo lizard.
♥ Started reading Homestuck ironically, but... then she got super into it. Like, super into it. Really likes Vriska. She's sort of left that phase of her life behind, but every so often, she'll see or hear something that reminds her of Homestuck and it'll all come rushing back like a massive tidal wave of nostalgia and bullshit. Still, she does genuinely love the infamous webcomic, and she listens to the music on a regular basis and goes back for rereads on occasion. It may be confusing, convoluted chaos, but it's a hell of a lot of fun.
♥ Would be either a Dark or Ghost type gym leader.
♥ Loves Halloween and Christmas, but doesn't really care about any other holidays.
♥ Goes all out for Halloween. Full costume with special effect makeup and everything. One time her costume was so well done, George actually thought she was injured and tried to call a medic until she told him it was all fake blood.
♥ Surprisingly, dislikes most horror movies. Older ones are pretty fun, but most of the new stuff is garbage.

♥ Secretly loves Disney and Dreamworks movies.
♥ She's beauty, she's grace, she can kill you in at least 20 different ways WITHOUT her power ring and even more ways with it.
♥ Cannot STAND bland food. Salt by itself is not a seasoning you fools. Put some garlic and ground roasted peppers in there! USE YOUR SPICE CABINET!!!
♥ Loves kids, but doesn't plan on having any. She doesn't expect to live long enough to settle down and even consider having children.
♥ LOVES the song "No Scrubs" by TLC. Also loves Britney Spears. Honestly, Toxic and Criminal are so iconic. And don't get her started on Ke$ha and Nicki Minaj. Has a special place in her heart for rock, though, especially classic.
♥ Killer at karaoke night. She's quite fond of singing "For Your Entertainment" by Adam Lambert.
♥ Has made it her life's mission to be able to accurately play all the guitar solos from Queen songs.

♥ Frequents Reddit.
♥ Not much for weddings. She can't really imagine herself settling down with anyone....
♥ Sometimes has nightmares or flashbacks of her time as a POW, and still dissociates heavily from time to time in response to certain stimuli.

She refuses to consider that she might have some form of PTSD or other mental illness.

Evie
♥ Has an intense love of mythology and folklore.
♥ Is thoroughly convinced that the Fair Folk are very real and should be treated with proper respect.
♥ Was seriously considering pursuing a career as a professional mermaid or Ren Fair actor until she was called to being a hero. Now she figures if she lives to reach retirement age, she might become a beekeeper. Or she'll open a bakery. Or maybe she'll raise chickens? She isn't quite sure yet.
♥ Really loves pastels, and wears light blues and baby pinks the most. Particularly fond of sweaters, skater skirts, and high socks. Also dresses. Goodness knows she loves cute dresses, especially with floral patterns.
♥ Owns entirely too many rocks. Polished stones, crystals, small fossils, random rocks she picked up off the ground because she thought they were neat.... She's particularly fond of smooth, "silky" rocks, like rough marble.
♥ Would be classified as the Mom Friend.
♥ Really, really likes yard sales and thrift stores. Often ends up buying music boxes and decorative bottles and jars.
♥ Plays Sonic Adventure 2 purely for the Chao Garden.
♥ Likes to make her own tea blends, when she's able. She's particularly fond of rose hips, hibiscus, and various berries and fruits.
♥ Really loves East Asian food! And crockpot recipes. When these two intersect, she gets really, really excited. She just about cried when she found her now-favorite recipe for crockpot Mongolian beef.
♥ Once a month, she sets aside a weekend just to pamper herself and relax, to make up for all the stress she puts herself through the rest of the time. This weekend usually involves shopping, a fancy bath, a movie or two on the couch, and indulging in various foods and snacks.
♥ Really really really loves bath products. Most of the employees at the local LUSH store know her by name, and make sure to try to keep a few of her frequent purchases on hand at all times. They're quite fond of her, really, because she's always so polite and sweet. Her favorite bath bomb is a tie between Guardian of the Forest and the seasonal Golden Wonder.
♥ Cinnamon roll with a sinful filling.
♥ Neutral Good with occasional Chaotic tendencies.
♥ Will probably die if not regularly shown affection. On the flip side, she will also probably die if she does not regularly give someone else affection. There is too much love in her body and she! must! share it!!! Often shares her affection in the form of baked goods and other sweets, or whatever she thinks the recipient would really enjoy.
♥ Really likes Shakespeare, d**k jokes and all.
♥ Loves scented candles, but is terrified of accidentally setting her apartment on fire, so she's always super careful about lighting them.
♥ ******** loves glitter, especially glitter or shimmer in her bath and body products. Subtle body shimmer is a must for many of her everyday looks.
♥ Doodles/designs dresses for fun sometimes. Unfortunately, she doesn't have the resources/time/skill to actually make her designs.
♥ Really really wants to be a mother someday, and actually has names picked out already. However, now that she has hero duties added to the equation, she's not sure she'll ever get the chance. She says she's okay with this as the safety of the public comes first, and after everything else she's given up in her life, what's another sacrifice on the pyre? But inside, she's pretty upset over it.
♥ Thinks dragons are the coolest, and if she were a dragon, she'd hoard swords and tea sets.
♥ Often listens to electro swing music. Also has a penchant for punk/emo pop.
♥ To be honest, she's like 20% furry. Would love being part rabbit. This is probably due to watching so much Tokyo Mew Mew when she was younger. Magical girls and animal powers? That's a match made in heaven.
♥ The most useless biromantic. If someone she considers pretty compliments her or anything else of the sort, she pretty much short circuits. This is especially true if said attractive person is a woman. One time a punk lesbian called her cute and asked her out for a drink, and she literally had to sit down because she went weak in the knees. She is so weak for punk ladies. (Also that date went spectacularly and they dated for a whole year before having a clean mutual breakup. They still talk on occasion.)
♥ Average alcohol tolerance.
♥ Loves Broadway musicals. Particularly adores Hamilton, Camelot, Annie, and The Music Man.
♥ Master of braids and hairstyles involving braids.
♥ Absolutely in love with the sea and just about everything that lives in it. Would love to live right next to the beach. She collects sea glass and seashells and whenever she visits a new beach, she collects a tiny jar of sand and labels it so she knows where it came from and where she's been.
♥ She's irresistibly drawn to water in general. Her mother used to insist that she must have somehow given birth to a selkie, what with how drawn to the water she is.
♥ Ridiculously protective of kids.
♥ Illnesses tend to creep up on her, starting with a little symptom like just a sniffle or a cough, then slowly getting worse. It usually doesn't put her down for the count, but when she gets seriously sick, she usually gets the chills and ends up bundling up in a blanket cocoon on the couch and eating nothing but stew and hot soup. Tries to sleep it off. However, if she thinks it isn't that serious, she's just as likely to try to work through it.
♥ Really loves Pokemon! She loves every gen/region, but Hoenn is her absolute favorite, and her favorite Pokemon is Mudkip, closely followed by Espeon, Absol, and Meganium. And the game music is an absolute blessing.
♥ Loves holidays with a passion and decorates for every damn one. Yule/Christmas? She's got a tree and the fake fireplace turned on, and the mantle is done up all nice with stockings and nutcrackers and figures. Ostara? Eggs and bunnies and chicks everywhere. Halloween? Oh man, she goes wild for Halloween. All the kids in the area know her place is the place to go for some really good loot, because she gives out a full size candy bar AND a handful of smaller stuff to every single kid. And around Christmas, if they go to sing carols at her door? She brings out hot chocolate and cookies.
♥ Once dressed up as herself for Halloween. She went to all the trouble of making crappy foam armor and a sword and everything, and joked that since people always tell her she looks like Queen Arturia, she might as well dress up as her!
♥ Read Animorphs as a kid and it kinda ******** her up.
♥ Owns a curio cabinet. It's full of figures (like the kind you'd see at a Hallmark store) and an antique tea set and other neat little treasures, such as her sand bottles and seashells.
♥ Likes her hot chocolate with a splash of flavored coffee creamer and a pile of whipped cream. She's particularly fond of dark hot chocolate with hazelnut creamer. Also a fan of specially-shaped marshmallows.
♥ Can't decide on a theme for her home decor as a whole, so instead, she just gives each room its own theme. The kitchen is a floral spring/summer theme, the bathroom is nautical, the recreation room is done all in pastels, and her bedroom is magical forest themed. The living room is an eclectic mix of whatever she happens to feel like at the moment.
♥ Absolutely in love with Queen Anne Victorian houses.
♥ Would look really good in lolita fashion.
♥ Really loves strawberry flavored things, and loves strawberries and cream flavor even more. Also really likes cheese danishes, and just about any pumpkin dessert.
♥ Loves Harry Potter. So much. She's a Hufflepuff/Thunderbird and her patronus is a Welsh Corgi.
♥ Favorite flowers are forget-me-nots and roses! And wisteria. Gosh she loves wisteria.
♥ Loves dancing and singing to her favorite songs. She doesn't care if she's grocery shopping at the store, she's gonna at least quietly sing along and bob her head and maybe do a little hip shake.
♥ Thoroughly enjoys farming simulator games, like Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon. Also loves Slime Rancher. That counts as a farming simulator, right?
♥ Gets the WORST cramps around that time of the month. Has actually had to call off from work a few times because of it.
♥ Once cried because someone gave her a hug after she had a rough day.
♥ Loves rose gold anything.
♥ Really, really wants to travel, especially throughout Europe and the Pacific islands.
♥ Favorite Disney movie is Bedknobs & Broomsticks, closely followed by Moana, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Treasure Planet, and Mary Poppins.
♥ Gets really excited about renaissance faires.
♥ Seeks heat in her sleep. If you're in the same bed with her, you're gonna get snuggled.
♥ Warriors and Guardians of Ga'Hoole were her favorite series as a child, though she also has a soft spot for the Emily Windsnap series.
♥ Collects dragons and lions.
♥ Lions are her favorite animal, followed closely by rabbits.
♥ Loves slime videos and stimboards.
♥ Her favorite month is May. It's starting to get warm outside, but it isn't too hot yet and the nights are still cool. It's the beginning of thunderstorm season and there are still spring flowers blooming. And of course, it's Mer-May, so she gets to see lots of mermaid-related things online. Also, she gets an excuse to sing "Lusty Month of May" from Camelot.
♥ Aspires to be as graceful and witty and talented as Julie Andrews someday.
♥ Loves those little folded paper stars.
♥ Absolutely adores miniatures and dollhouses.
♥ Gets very excited about weddings. She doubts she'll ever have one herself (after all, who would want to marry her?), but she likes to think about what her dream wedding would be like. She wants it in a garden, under a big flowering tree or decorated arbor, and the color scheme would be rose gold (or if her partner prefers, royal blue and gold). Her wedding gown would be a strapless mermaid or trumpet in ivory lace, with a ribbon sash and a bow on the back. Maybe with a corset back. And there'll be a handfasting ceremony, and a big three-tiered vanilla cake with sweetened mascarpone and strawberry filling, decorated with edible beading and ribbons and flowers.
♥ Loves Steven Universe!
♥ If you take her to the zoo, you will have to practically drag her away from the prairie dogs and otters and seals. She could easily spend hours watching them.
♥ LOVES cuddling and will take just about any opportunity to cuddle her friends and loved ones. Romantic cuddles, platonic cuddles, doesn't matter to her. Has no preference for cuddling position, as long as everyone's comfy.
♥ Before religion was ruined for her, Evie mainly worshipped the Greek pantheon, with special emphasis on Aphrodite. She still prays to Aphrodite on occasion, mainly for comfort reasons. She feels like Aphrodite and the other Olympians listened to her far more than the Presence ever did.
♥ Really loves Sonic the Hedgehog. She's more fond of the classic games and she reads the comics. Listens to the game music regularly. But she does have a certain attachment to Sonic and the Black Knight. Hmmm I wonder why
♥ Loves the movie "A Knight's Tale". It's honestly one of her absolute favorite movies of all time.
♥ Has lots of cute pajamas and nightgowns!
♥ Loves pinup girl style clothing.
♥ Upon being asked to sum up Evie in one word, her friends replied: "motherly", "loving", and "bittersweet".
♥ At some point in university, she started making paper stars whenever she was upset and kept them in a jar. For whatever reason, it helps her feel better.

Miscellaneous Fun Facts: Grogan Edition
(Grogan has given me permission to record these here.)
Jonathan
♦ Likes spicy food!
♦ If asked what he thinks of the food, he won't hold back! He keeps his criticism within reason, though, and words it eloquently so as not to offend.
♦ Liked to tinker with things as a kid, especially electronics. He started with clocks, DVD players, and TVs, eventually working his way up to computers, and then to building his own! This little head start helped lead to him becoming the CEO of his own tech company.
♦ His parents were wealthy, so when he was a kid, they'd go on a fancy vacation every year to some exotic destination. However, his father was always busy with his company, so he constantly had his phone or computer with him so he could keep track of things. Jonathan has also picked up this habit.
♦ Jonathan's favorite places to vacation are in Asia, especially India and Thailand, due to the delicious (and spicy!) food and rich culture.
♦ Was President of the Tech Club in high school.
♦ Was equally fond of both parents, but as he got older, he got along with his father less and less. His father wanted him to take over and continue his toy company, but Jonathan was far more interested in electronics.
♦ After his father kicked him out and basically disowned him, Jonathan cut ties with most of his family. None of them said anything or did anything about it, so they must either support his father, are too cowardly to oppose him, or just don't care. So why bother with them?
♦ Still talks to his mother, but somewhat resents her for not standing up to his father. She regrets that deeply and is trying to do better, which is why he isn't as bitter towards her. It's the thought that counts, even if it is years too late.
♦ Has a younger sister and loves her dearly, and talks to her pretty regularly. She was too young to do anything about their father kicking him out, so he's got nothing against her. She also thinks that what their father did was shitty, but she's hopeful that he can change and apologize, and sometimes pushes for Jonathan to reconcile.
♦ Jonathan WOULD be willing to reconcile... if his father admits that what he did was wrong and apologizes. But he's not holding his breath.
♦ Jonathan's father has since realized that he was too hard on Jonathan, but is too prideful and stubborn to admit that, and prefers to rug-sweep and pretend it didn't happen anytime they see each other. After all, if they all act like it didn't happen, then he doesn't have to apologize. Jonathan calls him out on it every time, though.
♦ When he gets sick, he just tries to work through it. Has to be forced to rest.
♦ Loves reading, and prefers to have a physical copy of a book, rather than a digital copy. However, he'll take the latter in a pinch.
♦ Taste in music depends on his mood, but in general, he likes rock and some pop music.
♦ Decent singer and also a pretty good dancer.
♦ Sings in the shower!
♦ Loves holidays and goes all out with decorating. He loves New Years the most, as he considers it to be the beginning of a new chapter.
♦ In terms of interior design, he prefers modern styles and doesn't like clutter, but he does like to display various things he's acquired during his travels around the world.
♦ Loves kids and would love to have some himself someday, but he doesn't think he's ready yet.
♦ Likes ocean-related scents.
♦ Favorite dessert is gelato, and his favorite flavor is mint!
♦ Very good at cooking, and his favorite cuisines are Asian and Italian.
♦ Prefers tea over coffee. His favorite is Earl Grey.
♦ Has a major thing for sweet, petite, and affectionate blondes. Or as Grogan puts, it: Evie. His type is Evie.
♦ Has to start his day with a cup of tea, has to watch the 6 o'clock news, and Kenny G has to be playing when he goes to bed. Otherwise his day just doesn't feel right.
♦ Is both an early bird and a night owl. He's trained himself to run very well on low sleep!
♦ Loves the sea, but remembers that it's still an unforgiving and dangerous force of nature, and thus should be treated with respect. Still, he can't help but get a little giddy when he goes to the beach.
♦ Alcohol tolerance is pretty high.
♦ Usually dresses semi-formal or business casual. The most casual he gets is a polo and jeans.
♦ Makes excellent chili.
♦ Likes to shop local to support the local economy.
♦ Enjoys spoiling his partner with gifts and surprise outings. He's got more than enough money at his disposal, so why not use it to make the woman he loves happy? Pays lots of attention to what she likes and mentions so he can get the perfect gift.
♦ Likes cuddling and considers it a great way to relax and bond with his partner on quiet days. If they're sitting, he likes to put an arm around them while they lean against him, and if they're lying down, he likes to have them lying on top of him or resting against his chest. Also likes to run his fingers through their hair.
George
♦ Least favorite farm chore was milking the cow, because said cow kicked him and nearly killed him as a kid.
♦ Out of all the animals on the farm, he likes the ducks the most.
♦ Really loves chocolate. And cashews.
♦ George is the youngest of five, with two older sisters and two older brothers.
♦ More of an early bird.
♦ Loves country-fried steak and mashed potatoes. Loves southern (American) food in general.
♦ Wants to settle down in the country someday, and definitely wants kids.
♦ Went hunting as a kid. Started out with small game, and eventually started accompanying his dad on deer hunts. He's a pretty good shot! Of course, now he's even better with a gun, thanks to his military service.
♦ Doesn't have an aesthetic type, but he prefers women who are passionate about life and have strong personalities. Physically strong and hardworking are good traits, too.
♦ Loves the holidays for the joy and sense of community that comes around that time of year. He also loves getting to spend so much time with all his loved ones.
♦ Definitely more of a dog person. He especially loves high-energy dogs, because they can keep up with him! Herding and hunting breeds are his favorites.
♦ Doesn't have a favorite color, per se, but he does like blue a lot.
♦ Would main Reinhardt in Overwatch.
♦ Favorite animal is the Grizzly Bear
♦ Enjoys classical theatre, and is especially fond of Shakespeare. His favorite comedy is A Midsummer Night's Dream, and his favorite tragedies are Hamlet and Macbeth.
♦ Considers General Patton to be one of his personal heroes.
♦ Likes both coffee and tea. Prefers a light roast and Southern sweet tea.
♦ Had to cross-dress for his 6th grade play. His sisters did his makeup, and his brothers called him Georgia for weeks. However, this event made him very popular with many of the girls at school.
♦ Was closer to his sisters than his other brothers were, and would join them in their tea parties after chores. His brothers teased him for this, too, but they're not laughing now, seeing as George is significantly better at socializing with women than they are.
♦ Also helped one of his sisters practice for her dance recitals. As a result, he's a pretty decent dancer.
♦ As a result of doing plays and musicals and spending lots of time with his older sisters, he actually knows quite a bit about doing hair and makeup. He actually considered becoming a hairdresser before going into the military.
♦ Learned how to cook from his mom.
♦ Favorite after-chore activities were to go out riding on one of the horses and to go out to the pond to watch/feed the ducks.
♦ Favorite meat is bear.
♦ Likes to show his love with words and physical affection. VERY cuddly. Particularly fond of spooning and pulling his partner onto his lap for snuggles. Also quite fond of nuzzling his partner and giving neck and shoulder kisses while snuggling.
♦ After they found Evelyn's dog tags, George made sure that he was the one to bring them back to her family and notify them of her presumed death, since he felt at least partially responsible. It was an emotional moment for everyone.
♦ George was very particular about making his tribute character to Evelyn. Tasha Faik has blonde hair and golden eyes like Evelyn, and the last name is only one letter away from Falk. He also made further ties to her last name by giving Tasha falcon-like wings, since Falk basically means "falcon". And finally, since Evelyn was almost always upbeat and had brought a lot of joy to George and the team, he gave Tasha the hero name of Bluebird.
♦ ALWAYS warm. The man is a space heater.
♦ Pretty much always has an earthy, woodsy scent. Evelyn has likened it to a pine forest in late spring/early summer.
