Appearance:
Evelyn didn't take on any characteristics of her human mother. She looks elf, through and through. Her hair is a feathery silver, parted at the side. She layers it short, ends barely meeting her collar bone. Grey eyes, pointed ears, smooth and pale skin. Her smile can light up a room. Elves don't need a lot of muscle to be powerful, such a Evelyn's case. She's slender, maybe a bit short for an elf. There are old scars on her wrists, reminding her of times she drowned in her sadness.
Background:
Born to an elven father and human mother, Evelyn started life in strange circumstances. Magic had brought her parents together, and they abandoned their old lives in the name of love. Marriage between races wasn't common at all, and the townsfolk loved to talk. Their family didn't venture out much until Evelyn's mother passed away from sickness. To lighten the grieving heart of his daughter, Ilrune showed her his old books of lost treasures deep underground, of legendary creatures across the sea, and the history of Ravenfell. He gave his private collection of spell books, teaching her how to read it once, and remember it forever in a Mind Palace. After a taste of knowledge, Evelyn knew she couldn't stop there.
As soon as she could, Evelyn traveled abroad, searching for the secrets of the land. Money ran thin, so she turned to the Thieves Guilds hidden among the sewers of Ravenfell's great kingdoms. They taught her how to blend in, how to wield blades, how to speak. In return, she completed the jobs they offered.
The first time she killed someone, it was simply a case of 'wrong place, wrong time'. A vat of mead needed to be poisoned before the town officials arrived. The plan was to put the meadery out of business so another company could gain profit from the monopoly. Evelyn had successfully snuck in, poisoned the tank, and was about to leave when the owner himself came down the steps. Before he could call the guards, she incinerated him on the spot. It was the first time she ever set fire to a living being with magic. The rush was intoxicating, but seeing the charred remains of his body made her vomit.
Seeking a better life and a more permanent home, Evelyn ventured to Arthroyeaux. The Court Mage had recently passed away, and she leapt at the opportunity. She requested an audience, and was soon before the King and his court. Evelyn claimed she was a noble who had traveled great lengths to serve His Majesty, and she told him of her heroic tales in magic, war, legends and ancient relics.
Ten years after the passing of the Queen, King Vertreaux made Evelyn his new Court Mage, and she served happily until he too, passed away. Somehow, along the way, another one of the nobles of the court found out Evelyn's true past. They blackmailed her into working strings of the crime empire in Arthroyeaux, and she was right back in her old life of deceit and underground power-struggles. She didn't loathe this turn of events -- she missed it. The thrill of inspiring fear in those who would cut into the kingdom's profit was something she loved terribly. Destroying the lives of strangers, however, sank heavy in her mind. She rationalized that her actions helped His Majesty. Of course, if he ever knew her treachery she'd be hanged.
At the change of Kings, Evelyn had her hand in who was chosen next, bribing individuals of the court for their cooperation. When the former King wrote his will, she advised on DuRant, saying he'd lead the people right. Her true reasons she kept to herself. It had taken her a while to unravel this secret -- the noble who blackmailed her wanted DuRant in by any means. He was close associates with someone, and it was they who found the information of her past. She had yet to identify the true mastermind, but it would only be a matter of time.
When the court was reformed, Evelyn was one of the few who stayed, not just by coincidence.
Personality: It depends on who you are. Evelyn's personality is very diversified given the different types of people she may or may not be inspiring fear in. Typically she can't contain her excitement on new secrets, and she's a lover of beauty. In the King's court, she is graceful in her words, modest, and the face of loyalty to her King. In the city's underground, her demeanor does a 180 degree spin. She's cunning, persuasive, intimidating. And after the day's sins are counted up, Evelyn sits by herself at the edge of her bed, feeling her heart die. Not that elves really sleep, anyway.

Strengths: Evelyn feels secure when she's aware of everything going on in the kingdom. Knowledge is her high, and she'll go to great lengths to uncover a secret. Legend and lore is like candy. Magic is her edge in a battle, and feels that's one of her largest strengths.
Weaknesses: She loves feeling powerful, and sometimes her arrogance can be her downfall. She also dislikes unpredictability, and easily panics when things aren't going as planned. The biggest mystery is how tied to the crime empire Evelyn is, and how much it keeps her up at night.
Theme:
My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark -- Fall Out Boys
(Correlations: 'my songs know' means 'my theives told me', 'light 'em up' is her magic's destruction)
Quote: "The thieves are my eyes, the beggars my ears. Mouths open with a little coin. Nothing goes on in this city without my knowing."
