Introduction

Geneviève Baumgartner, or Evie for short, is a Dutch native and recent runaway from Portland after being wed to a man she has never met, much less loves. She has recently fallen into the service of Aevum Absens after being rescued from her violent introduction to the world of sex work.

Born to fortune-seeking merchants from Amsterdam, Evie and her family relocated across the ocean very soon after her first birthday. Once arriving in the port-side city, the Baumgartners quickly got to work, peddling their foreign wares and accruing a small cache of wealth.

Though it was not enough. One bad business decision had Evie's father frantically looking for favors all across Portland, writing IOUs and making deals where he could. Evie was more or less oblivious to his questionable habits, instead being led by her mother in the prim ways of a socialite. Her world came to a grinding halt when her father returned with what her parents believed was a golden opportunity, a way to cancel all their debt with one dogged collector: an arranged marriage. The thought horrified Evie, who at that point had become fiercely independent; the idea of marrying anyone she hadn't formed any sort of bond with terrified her as much as it angered her. But their parents quickly shook hands and the deed was done, much to her dismay, and one dowry later, Evie was a married woman.

This, of course, could not stand. Feeling utterly betrayed by her family, Evie really had no choice but to salvage what dignity she could before being forcibly moved-in to the house of her so-called husband. Abandoning all that she knew, Evie stole away in the dead of night, leaving nary a word of where she was going. Truthfully, she didn't know — she ran and ran as fast as her four-legged form could take her, eventually ending up in Nova Scotia after outpacing the small search party her outraged father sent after her trail.

Appearance

Overview

Though on the slightly smaller side, Evie is nevertheless a full-blooded wolf; her fur is thick and coarse, her face boxy, and her frame larger than other canines. This is not to say that she has actively used any of the muscles passed down by her heritage, and Evie was raised by merchants that had little use for combat or self-defense — as a result, she is, initially, somewhat skinny.

Forms

  • Lupus: 27 in (69 cm) ↔ 70 lbs (32 kg)
    • Rarely used.
    • Since she's first shifted, Evie has had little reason to return to this form, though it was utilized almost in full when she ran from Portland.
  • Secui: 38 in (97 cm) ↔ 130 lbs (59 kg)
    • Rarely used.
    • Secretly, she rather likes her halfling form; she used to hate it, thinking it a lumbering and overbearing state. Nowadays, it makes her feel powerful, something she has never really thought possible for herself before.
  • Optime: 5 ft 5 in (165 cm) ↔ 170 lbs (77 kg)
    • Predominantly used.
    • Leggy, femme, with subtle curves and a modest chest.
    • Her hair is quite long and painfully straight and plain, with blunt bangs framing her face.

Accessories

Evie is highly humanized and makes use of all sorts of bits and bobs to adorn herself with. Growing up in an affluent household, she is used to clothing and covets this more than anything, seeing it as a symbol of wealth.

She can usually be seen wearing a simple pull-tie bracelet with a pearl. Her ears are each pierced once with dull metallic studs.

Personality

Summary

Evie is, for lack of better terms, spoiled.

While her family was never necessarily rich, they lived in relative wealth — though perhaps not quite to the extent that Evie had been led to believe. In her youth, she didn't worry herself with her father's troubles as he struggled to keep his business afloat, blissfully ignorant that her life was not as perfect and fretless as she had assumed.

Now out in the wilds on her own, Evie is very naïve to the way the world works outside of humanized luperci society, and she is all but a novice in the basic skills of survival. Still carrying resentment from her forced marriage and all the trouble it brought, she can be somewhat standoffish to strangers at first, but she carries a certain amount of social grace and pride, always holding her head high.

Though a bit of a ditz, Evie is snooty and aloof at the worst of times but curious and eager once she grows comfortable enough to down her defenses.

Interaction

  • Demeanor: Direct but not unpleasant, dry, witty
  • Speech: Crisp, lightly accented with a foreign flair. Fluent in Common and Dutch, conversational in German and French. She knows a smattering of other words and phrases in other languages from living near the ports.
  • Scent: Pine needle, dew, underbrush, sea salt.
  • Quirks, Gestures, Etc.: (Doggedly) maintaining eye contact, arm-crossing, touching her hair
  • General Posture and Body Language: Confident, self-assured, undeterred


Relationships

Key Relations

  • Chadwick Ivarsson is a bigoted asshole, though he did get Evie out of a rough spot and is generally harmless (if not painfully annoying at times).
