[sup][sup][h3][center][b] Anything can be killed, you just have to try hard enough. [/b][/center][/h3][/sup][/sup]
 [b]Age[/b]
39

[b]Physical Description[/b]
Eva is tall and despite not being one big walking muscle she is very strong. She has long red hair, that often stick up around her head in wild angles, dirty most of the time. She has plenty of scars on her body, most of them usually covered by her clothes.

[b]Psyche[/b]
Eva is a loner, she is used to make only shallow contacts with people. She can seem a bit too serious and grim, but she is a professional and can be a good team member in a group of other professionals.

She is afraid to get closer to anyone, even as a friend, because she feels like she had already lost enough people in her life. People die rather sooner than later, that is the hard truth of this world. And the closer you are to the person, the more pain you will feel.
She respects strength and courage.

[b]Motivation[/b]
After years of wandering around and killing the creatures she sees she has made absolutely no difference, nothing to make the world a better place. She wants to try and change that. And also maybe kill some monster along the way.

[b]Relations[/b]
She is known around the city and especially the National Guard as a loner, sort of a weirdo but also a capable fighter. She does not have any closer friends and her family is gone.

[b]Personal History[/b]
Eva was born in the old world. Her parents were originally from Europe, but her father was offered a prominent job in a research institute in New York. The entire family moved to the United States when Eva was three years old and lived there since, with only occasional visits to the grandparents back home.

Her father got paid very well, so Eva could grow up in luxury – elite school, fine clothes and the best technology. She however did not appreciate it much, preferring to slack and hang around with the street kids, often getting into their fights. When she came home bruised and with two of her teeth knocked out, her father hired Garret Lake, a former bodyguard, to train her. “If you are going to fight,” he told her, “make sure to win.”

So Eva learned everything from martial arts to tough street fighting without any rules. She would learn how to use a knife and how to see a potential weapon in everyday objects around her. Garret had just started to teach her to shoot a gun, when the mist came.

Eva’s mother was on a trip with some of her friends in woods in the middle of nothing. They all disappeared without a trace during the first outbreak. Eva, her father and Garret traveled between the “safe spots” as those fell one by one, always barely escaping with their lives. Eva found her training very useful, at those times when hiding in a settlement you were more likely to fight other people for food, water or shelter, than the actual monsters.

For several years they survived like that. Hearing rumors about a safe place, heading there over the vast wilderness crawling with the… things, sometimes with other people, sometimes just the three of them. They were usually a welcome addition to the settlements – Eva’s father helping out as a doctor, and Garret and Eva working as hired muscles. Despite being only seventeen, she was already strong and muscular piece of a woman.

But the safety never lasted long, only this time Eva was the only one who got out. Left alone in a hostile environment, she didn’t succumb to despair. Fueled by anger, she scavenged for weapons and started her never ending quest on killing as many of the mist creatures as she could. Short time later she encountered some members of the New Philly National Guard and tagged along with them to the city. They offered her to join, but she preferred operating alone, which was seen like a bravery by some and madness by all.

[b]Equipment[/b]
[list]
[*] Knives. You can never have too many knives. Aside from the two visible ones, Eva has a few others hidden around all the way from her boots to a small piece of metal hidden in her collar.
[*] Sword and a shield. Yes, good old-fashioned sword and a shield, allegedly made by Quincy himself. The sword is a regular one-handed one, carefully cleaned and sharpened. The shield is made of wood and stainless steal and is tested to withstand a few hits from a feeder.
[*] 9 millimeter gun. That one belonged to her mentor Garret, Eva carries it around mainly for sentimental reasons, as she has no ammo for it. It is also useful to scare people off.
