Pronounciation: Ay - vahn Vardie

Called: Sometimes people call her Eava (Ayva)

Status: Commoner.

Age and date of birth: 17, born on May 22nd (Modern calendar).

Place of birth: Along the Coastal Way, closer to Port Legann than Tyra.

Magic: None.

Occupation: Small time prostitute. She started when she was 15 as a way of supporting herself financially. She's yet to really earn herself a reputation or a name. While, it can be a fairly lucrative business, she mostly only earns enough money to survive. To earn big bucks she'd have to take it further and deeper into prostitution, which is something she's not really willing to do.

Important people:

Family
Eavan has some pretty screwed up family dynamics. Certainly not your average family.

Maggie Briyan - Mother - Eavan has no idea who her father is. Maggie, a prostitute, became pregnant to a one time client. Certainly a women with questionable morals, and a women who keeps her distance even from those closest to her. Her maiden name was Vardie, until she married Trentan, the owner of a brothel, two years after Eavan was born. She raised Eavan around prostitutes and their clients at the brothel. Eavan hates her mother and her step father even more, how she treated her and the life she gave her, which is why she left for Corus.

Trentan Briyan - Step Father - Trentan is the owner of a medium sized brothel. He has around six women working for him. You couldn't find a bigger sleezier man around. But, he has financial intelligence and makes a fair amount of money from his business. Though, he's quite frugal with his money.

Cade Briyan - Half Brother - Four years old and the only family member that Eavan is close to. She absolutely dotes on him. If she could have brought him with her to Corus she would have done so. He's her half brother and the son of Maggie and Trentan.

Appearance:

Hair: Dead straight strawberry blonde hair that reaches down to the centre of her back. It's the type of hair that flows like water and knots rarely. Though it's often not apparent, because she usually wears it pulled off of her face and plaited or braided. She never ties it up into a pony tail or bun. She looks after her hair as much as possible and it's noticeable in the fact that it has a sheen and cleanliness to it's appearance.

Eyes: Deep set almond shaped eyes that lift at the outer corner. They're a startling blue in colour. The kind of light steel blue that catches your attention and holds it. Framed in incredibly long eye lashes, long enough to touch her cheek when she closes her eyes. They portray her youth, but at the same time there's almost a world weariness within them.

Face: She has quite a gentle petite face. She has a narrow, long shaped face with her forehead and her jawline being the same width. Apart from high cheek bones, there is very little bone definition in her face at all. Here eyes are set a little low into her forehead, made even more so by the fact that she pulls all of the hair off of her face. She has this tiny nose that has a slight slight bend between her eyes. Her lips are wonderful, a little wide, but not overly full. Her top lip shaped like a wave, her bottom lip, fuller than her top and a little fleshy.

Height: She's a lanky one, standing at around 5'7.

Body: Eavan actually appears to be quite fragile, which in looks and strength isn't far from the truth. She's thin, not boney, just...thin and lanky. There is really very little fat on her. Her thinness means that she has little hip definition and few curves. Her bust is small, but it certainly exists and her hips and stomach are tiny. Though, she has incredibly long, toned legs which is where she gets her height from. They seem to go on forever. Like the rest of her body, she has small thin shoulders with long arms that taper into tiny wrists. Her fingers are long and boney, piano players fingers. She carries herself well; with the kind of grace that comes with confidence in her looks. Long strides make it look as if she floats instead of walks.

Colouring: She's got quite pale skin that burns easily and adds to her fragility.

Other: Both of her ears are pierced, but more often than not she doesn't wear any thing in them. She wears no jewlery, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't own a few pieces.

Clothing: Dresses and skirts all the way. Dresses made for her, generally with a sash or a piece of material tied around her waist to accentuate her small hips. Her clothing comes from her mother and it's designed to show off her body. Her dresses and skirts are generally short, to show the length of her legs. She wears them slightly longer in the winter time though, for warmth more than anything. She wears a lot of green and emerald colours.

Personality:

Contradictory. Eavan's generally a quiet girl, though not in the sense that she doesn't have anything to say, more in that she won't talk just for the sake of hearing her own voice. She holds herself well for a some one of her age, and more often than not displays a graceful, calm, peaceful demeanor. Which, she manages to maintain even in adverse or stressfull situations. She can often come across as outwardly apathetic in situations that should disturb her or cause her distress. In any thing from arguements with friends and family to social injustice, or people being hurt by others. The apathy is simply a defense mechanism that she's long learnt to employ without any hesitation. Underneath it, she cares, often more than she should. And, it shows itself in tiny little ways. The only situation where she shows anything but apathy for is in regards to younger children. She adores children, especially younger children and cares way too much about kids getting hurt by adults. Her long term goal is to have her own brood of children.

Despite being quiet, she really is a social butterfly. She comes across as happy on most occassions. She can hold a conversation with just about any one, though tends to feel a little more natural around men, which given her job, isn't really surprising. She is open and friendly and holds no secrets from friends and even people in general. She thrives when there are a lot of people around her or when she's in the centre of a group of people. She is also incredibly physical. She needs physical contact like she needs air to breath. Cuddles, hugs, sitting on some one's knee, sex, kissing, all fall under her "needs" category. They're not something that she can live without. She really is dependant on contact with people. It has and can become a problem, especially in terms of relationships. She's promiscuous, to put it lightly. It has been impossible for her to hold down any kind of relationship due to her promiscuity and her need for physical contact. However, her promiscuity comes from her constant need for affection. She's high maintenance and she needs an extremely high level of affection. It's a huge issue for her. And, unfortunately it tends to turn most men off of romantic relationships. She tries really hard, but she's herself and it's impossible for her to be anything other than herself. She will rarely, if ever, apologise for it.

She is a little screwed up due to the way the way that she was raised. She's very frank about sex and sexual promiscuity. She is apathetic to any injuries done or bad clients that she may encounter. She's incredibly passive and submissive when it comes to her work. Her submissiveness also carries out of work situations into her life. It is fairly easy to walk all over her just by intimidating her. She won't or can't defend herself if some one's making a personal or physical attack towards her. It's actually more than a little sad for those around her, but again, it is not something that she outwardly shows anything but apathy for. Her body is the only thing that she has any kind of feelings of self-worth for and self confidence in. Though, it isn't at all apparent in the way that she holds and conducts herself in general. It is certainly something that's well hidden from people.

She tends to avoid conflict like it's the plague. She sits back from it and doesn't get involved. She won't start arguements and she won't participate in them. If it looks like things could escalate into an arguement and she's involved, she will back down totally. But, as mentioned above, there will be no apologies for her actions or her words. So, she may unintentionally start an arguement or be the cause of an arguement, but she definately won't see it through, defend herself or apologise for it. If it involves other people, she'll either slyly attempt to place herself away from the conflict or arguement or ignore it completely.

She is totally and completely unreliable. Never on time, always late, never there when she says she will be, and bad at following instructions or completing tasks that others have asked her to do. She can't be trusted to be reliable and if you place your trust on her to do something that you've asked her to do, within a reasonable time frame you'll only end up being disappointed. It's something that her friends, family and new acquaintances get used to very quickly. She runs on her own time, pretty much. She doesn't like to sleep a lot and her body has fallen into the habit of sleeping no more than four hours a night. She's used to it. She can barely read or write

History: Born to a prostitute and a client who has not been seen since. From the day of her birth until she left, she was raised and lived amongst prostitutes, clients and brothel owners. Admittedly it was not much of a childhood for a young women, it's not at all surprising that she has issues. Her mother was never affectionate towards her at all and she was always busy with work, which meant that Eavan was left to her own devices. She had little to no schooling, except when one of the women in the brothel, who could read, baby sat while her mother worked. But, that was only when she was younger. Her attitude towards her mother has grown from general childhood disappointment to hatred.

Her mother married Trentan, the owner of the brother in which she worked, mainly because he was fairly monied and fairly influential. Eavan was only two years old. Trentan was and is quite a sleeze with financial intelligence, though nothing much else to testify to his character. Eavan has nothing but silent contempt for him. In honesty, she grew up terrified of him. Terrified to be left alone with him, terrified to be any where near him. A fear that still exists today.

When Eavan was thirteen years old her half brother Cade was born. It was the worst and the best thing that could have happened. She hated and hates the thought of another child being brought up in that situation. She hates the idea that the only male role models that he has is his father and the clients that visit the brothel. She honestly made it her goal to improve his life by being a positive influence on him. It didn't quite turn out like that though. As soon as she turned fifteen, Trentan started putting pressure on her to start working for him or to leave. According to him, he couldn't afford to house and keep a women unless she pulled her weight and earned her housing and her keep. Out of fear for the man who was supposed to be her step father, she caved in to his wishes. Though, it didn't last long, after a month of working she came to the conclusion that she didn't want this kind of life and she couldn't deal with this kind of life any longer, so she packed her things and made her way to Corus, unwillingly leaving her brother behind.

The move to Corus, in order to change her life still failed to work. She was largely illiterate and unskilled which made work impossible to come by. She spent a while on the streets, with little to no food and no place to sleep. To pull herself out of that situation she had no choice but to fall back into prostitution. Though, only on a small scale. Being stuck in that cycle changed her and destroyed her dreams of getting out and improving her life. She went from hopeful to apathetic in two years.

She doesn't have a place to call her own, however she earns enough money to move from Inn to Inn around Corus. Coming to an Inn, staying often up to a few weeks before moving to another Inn.

Likes: Physicality, men, sex, men, being around people, being looked after, being cared for, affection, attention, apple cider, sweet alcoholic drinks, the cold, fresh fruit and vegetables, freshly cooked bread so that it's still doughy and warm, Autumn and winter, younger children.

Dislikes: Stinking hot weather, summer being alone, the dark, sleeping too much (she really only sleeps for up to four hours a night), meat in quantity, ale, conflict, arguements of any kind, fear, stale bread, any kind of stale food, wearing breeches.
