Whatever the occassion, Evie is dressed to kill. She knows the power of red pouty lips and alluring smoky eye, knows which types of clothes accentuate whichever particular asset needs featuring. Her body is her livelihood and so she works hard to maintain her trim figure. She swears by coconut oil to keep her lush, glossy hair in tact, because let's face it, a beautiful head of hair gets other heads turning.
Magnetic ❧ Resourceful ❧ Self-Preserving
Personality:Evie is a thunderstorm: unpredictable, uncontainable, electric. She appears in your life without warning, lingers in your thoughts, disappears in an instant. Armed with sweet, playful smiles and long lashes that bat just the right way, she has weaponized her feminine charms and attacks without discrimination. You never know what's going on behind those big hazel eyes, but oh, you'll want to. She'll make sure of it.
Quick thinking and resourceful, Evie has learned adaptability is key to survival. She must be malleable, must let her current surroundings shape her persona, her laughter, her heart. No matter the cost, she must do what is necessary. The end justifies the means, it has to, or she will be back where she doesn't want to be.
As she struts about with her impish grin and easy, sensual gait, Evie's almost got the world convinced that nothing fazes her. But sometimes, the gleam in her eyes give her away. Catch her in a rare off day and you'll see that the opposite is true; it's not that she doesn't care, it's that she cares too much. Evie keeps people within arm's reach and doesn't let herself get attached because when she does, she pours her everything into them, only for her to be bled dry.
Skills❧ Connections.
Having a strictly high-profile clientele means she has many willing (and unwilling) favors in her back pocket.
❧ Sleuthing.
As precaution when selecting clients, she has become adept at conducting a very thorough background check. As insurance during and after a job, she has become adept at digging up dirt that can be stored and brought up at a later time for certain purposes.
❧ Flirting.
She's quick to pick up on a person's preferences and craftily tailors her advances to them.
Strengths:- Observant
- Thrives under pressure
- Has an unorthodox way of solving problems
Genevieve hasn't had the most stable of childhoods. Although she was born in the Philippines—to a couple who thought having a child would save their marriage (spoiler alert: they were wrong)—she moved to the US when she was eleven and spent her adolescence in California. Her parents separated before she was in preschool, and since then they've made arrangements on how to split up duties. Eventually, a drunken incident involving her father caused him to lose custody completely.
That's when the sea of changes crested in like a tidal wave, seizing Evie from her old world and washing her away into a brand new one. Her mother, upset and defeated at the prospect of being one of those struggling single moms, had been easily coaxed by a handsome foreigner to leave her life behind to follow him to the US. Within the next week, they sold everything they owned, keeping only a luggage's worth of memories. But unlike what was promised, life did not get better. They'd replaced their three-bedroom house for a tiny, cramped apartment. Traded in friends for strange and scary neighbors that bang on your door at three in the morning. Exchanged old heartbreaks for new ones. Evie can perfectly recall the moment that she and her mom paid the American businessman a surprise visit. She didn't know who had been more surprised to see them at his doorstep: him or his wife.
The downward spiral continued for years. Her mom cycled through one trashy boyfriend after another, getting deeper in debt with each one's certain vice. Evie resisted the urge to run away every time it surfaced. Instead, she worked part-time jobs as soon as she was old enough. She covered for her mom when she blew away all her money and couldn't afford groceries. She took care of the trash (see: boyfriend of the week) when her mom was done with them. She bore their subsequent wrath. Evie did everything she could to keep her mom whole.
When she was eighteen, things finally started looking up. Her mom finally met a decent man that truly cared for her and they were expecting—she was going to have a little brother! They moved into his apartment on the other side of town, where there were no crack addicts roaming the streets at night. It seemed that the drugged-up sleazy boyfriends were a thing of the past.
But as soon as Evie thought they had a chance to have a normal life, the debt her mom incurred over the decade came to bite them in the ass. With quite a sizeable amount to pay off, and increasingly aggressive loan sharks at their throat, her baby brother's future looked bleak. Even if she and her mother each took three more jobs, they would hardly make a dent.
Desperate for help, Evie found a silver lining in the strangest of places. One day, while she was on the prowl for higher-paying jobs, she happened across a beautiful elderly woman who took notice of her plight. Immediately, the woman invited her into an establishment she owned, conducted what would seem like an interview, and gave her instructions for the next day. That's how she was introduced to the lucrative world of escorting. Because she was only eighteen, the owner, Ruby, kept her to the phone lines at first. Every cent she earned went into paying off her mom's debt, but still that wasn't enough. Loan sharks still threatened violence on her family. Evie had no choice but to go deeper in the rabbit hole, starting with getting paid to go on dates with lonely rich men (and sometimes women). All things considered, Evie was a quick study, and within just weeks, she became one of the top reviewed and booked 'gem,' as Ruby liked to called her ladies. She was able to earn as much as a thousand dollars a week.
When the debt total came down to fifty-thousand, Evie was forced to take the last plunge into full-on escorting. The loan sharks had demanded the fifty grand in full, following it up with the usual threat to her family. But even at her best, she could only get a fifth of that within the month. Evie knew then what she to do. Ruby had been so fond of her that she gave her the best-paying clientele: politicians, executives, trust fund babies. With that, she was able to pay off the remaining debt and secure her family's safety.
Despite having accomplished her task, Evie is bound by contract to remain in the business for three years, ending on her 28th birthday.
