| ~ • ~ | Appearance | ~ • ~ |

.:Physical Appearance:. Evelyn is a very lovely girl, getting her dark hair and eyes from her mother, and her soft pale skin from her father. Her hair is a dark brown arranged in a natural, wild array of curls and waves. It's soft as silk and shines a lighter brown in the sin. Her face is slightly oval in shape and her lips are as pink and soft as a rose's petal. Her eyes are almond shape and her irises a deep brown that tends to pull people in. Long, dark eyelashes line her eyes, giving her eyes an even darker shade of brown by illusion. While normally brown, her eyes tend to shine a fierce gold in the last moment of a spell or usage of her powers. Her cheek bones are high and the apples of her cheeks a light, rosy color.

She stands at five feet and eight inches, meaning that she is a bit taller than most girls in this day and age; a gene she inherited from her gypsy mother. Her limbs are long and elegant; her moves graceful in every movement. She spent most of her life as a dancer and it shows in her athletic, but curvy body. Her skin is soft and a pale ivory color. On the palm of her left hand is a spiral in a silvery-Sapphire color. The skin on her back and arms are usually seen tattooed in henna with strange designs and symbols.

Her clothing can be anything from normal, plain dresses in simple colors to scarves and clothes in bright purples and greens, jewelry on her arms and legs and even in her hair. Most of the time she travels in plain dresses, a rope usually tied around her middle. While traveling, she always has her dark, forest green cloak around her, hood usually found up. She wears the same dresses around town as well. When she preforms though, her look completely changes. She dresses in the gypsy style clothes that her mother gave to her years ago.

.:Personality:. Just like her mother, Evelyn is a wandering soul. She finds it hard to stay in one place for long periods of time and always seems to be moving. She's thought to have a low attention span, moving from one thing to another. Evelyn loves to explore and can usually be found in the forest, laying out in the grass or climbing trees. She's a light hearted one, taking things in stride. She's not good with planning things, preferring to go by her gut instinct and think with her heart. Despite this, she's actually quite intelligent, her travels giving her much knowledge over the years.

Evelyn is brave and often described as foolish and fearless. She can always be found getting into trouble and dangerous situations. She doesn't think of the consequences of her actions and most times, it's these situations that make her leave. When she does get into these situations, Evelyn is very careful not to involve others. While she may not think of her own safety, the safety of her friends, loved ones, and the bystanders is always on her mind. She's especially careful with children, for she's always had a soft spot for the little ones.

While many would think that Evelyn has had many lovers in her travels, this is not true. While it is true that she has met many men, some who have been attracted to her, she is very selective in choosing her lovers. So selective in fact that she has found no man that has the qualities she wants. She wants to be captivated by him, wooed and romanced by him. She wants to find a man who is brave, who wont control her.

.:Magic Abilities:.

• TELEKINESIS;; the ability to use one’s mind to levitate objects. Evelyn is not very skilled in this department, relying more on her powers of Pyrokinesis to get her out of trouble. She's only able to levitate and move small objects, and nothing living. To move or levitate objects, Evelyn must have total focus on them. If her concentraition is boken at any time, she loses control over the object.
  
• PYROKINESIS;; ability to conjure fire. This is Evelyn's specialty. She's able to conjour flames from her hands, though not very large ones. Evelyn is also able to manipulate fire, either having it grow or smoother it with a wave of her hand. She can manipulate the shape of the flame, often using this ability in her storytelling, or just to play pranks. Manipulating small amounts of fire leave her with nothing, but with larger flames, her energy is depleated quickly. Often, she will faint or be unable to move for a certain period of time, depending on the amount of flame she manipulated.

.:History:. Evelyn was born in the middle of a forest, outside the gypsy camp. Why her actual birthing was a secret, Evelyn never knew. She wasn't a secret in her camp and the other children were born with they're family around them. As for the rest of her family, she had none. Evelyn's father wasn't present at the birthing and wasn't even a part of the camp. The camp didn't stay long in the forest of her birth, moving on the next day.

Her life was a whirlwind of color and activity, never stopping to show any semblance of normal. Evelyn never cared to be like the normal girls in the villages. She loved her life, loved her family of gypsies. She grew up following her mother and the old fortune teller, Ramona, around, learning their trade. She loved dancing and often would accompany he mother as she danced for courts they passed through. She was talented in many ways, her mother saw. She was a talented dancer, but also in other things. Evelyn had always been captivated by fire and one day in secret, found she could control it. When that day came, the rest of her powers rushed to the surface, showing themselves in magnificent and dangerous ways. Things around her moved when no one touched them. Her powers were terrifying and beautiful, frightening and amazing others at the camp.

When Evelyn was 13, Ramona gave her an old spell book she had been given long ago in her travels. She became Evelyn's unofficial teacher, showing her the ways of magic even though the old woman had hardly a breath of magic for herself. Evelyn was a quick learner when she tried, but it wasn't often. She was often running off to play with the other children or run through the forest with the hunters. She was always a wild child and that way of life never ceased it's hold on her as she grew.

When Evelyn was sixteen, she started to draw the attention of the young men in their camp and in the villages. She was an exotic beauty and a captivating dancer. Yet through all the advances she had in her travels, not one man gained her attention and soon, the men in her camp stopped looking at her as a beauty, and continued to see her as their friend. She wasn't as lucky in towns and villages, but she paid the men there no mind.

When Evelyn was seventeen, her mother died from a grave illness. The camp was in morning for months while Evelyn morned for years. After a year, she left the camp at age eighteen, promising to return when she was older. She has been traveling alone ever since, only her two horses - Alister and Marianne - as company.
