personality & history: Evey is at best superficial and at worst unsympathetic to the problems of the underprivileged. She grew up in a home where she always had freedom from want, and she got not only what she needed to be comfortable but also everything that caught her fancy. She's always been something of a Daddy's girl compared to the tomboyish Lily and the rebellious Eva, and as soon as she made that niche for herself she clung to it for dear life. She likes being pampered and payed attention to and is used to getting her way.

She's incredibly codependent on her family, mostly on her father and twin sister. Despite being such a brat, she's extremely close friends with all her siblings. She treats them poorly sometimes and enjoys to tease them about everything from their appearances to their sex lives, but does it in an endearing, 'oh-that's-just-my-baby-sister' kind of way. They've all put up with it over the years, even if it annoys them, because they all know that if one of them snapped at her she'd be all tears and blubbering apologies within the second, and nobody sets Evey off on a drama queen tangent if they don't have to.

During her time at Hogwarts she was never known to be that good girl that her father always considered her to be. Even though she was the team seeker for Gryffindor (where she was only sorted because of her incessant pleas to the sorting hat, who really thought she'd be a better fit in Slytherin), and team captain in her sixth and seventh years (which was only appointed to her because the predecessors to that position were largely comprised of her siblings and cousins by that point in time), she was more than a little bit of a rebel. She was often found in the boys' dormitories or in broom closets or what have you, and more than once had to cry her way out of a letter home.

Despite her knack for bending people to her will, she doesn't view herself as deceitful or immoral in any way. She places all blame of these traits on her twin sister, Eva, who though she loves is oftentimes her emotional scapegoat as well. She's the older twin, and her father has always favored her out of the two (though it's no secret among the family that Harry and Ginny are frequently tried by the twins' dramatics), so she's always viewed herself as the good twin, and Eva as the evil one. Because of this, she's always projected her hopes and dreams on to her twin sister in an attempt to 'fix' her, though in reality Eva is by far the more stable of the two and probably the happier in the long run, as well.

anything else: Loves her twin sister more than marshmallows. Also, is a parseltongue, which troubles her parents somewhat but it's been decided that this is just a coincidence. She has a pet snake named Daemon.
