Character Information
Appearance:
Portrait
Evera may be short, but she is attractive. She’s tiny, weighing only 120 lbs, with long legs and a nice figure. She has chocolate curls that reach to the bottom of her shoulder blades, and are layered towards her face. Her eyes are a deep hazel color laced with maroon and grey flicks that reflect the light, with dark eyelashes that surround them.
Her face is thin, her cheekbones set off by her pale skin, every aspect of her radiating arrogance and high-breeding. Her movements are cat-like, flowing, liquid. She is intimidating, despite her small size. However, she has sort of grown up as ‘one of the guys’ so she knows how to defend herself if needed.
Her skin is pale, and flawless, and soft. She likes to dance late and nights and spend her off days in the stables, so she had slight abs, barely defined muscles in her arms and trimmed legs. She doesn‘t usually care how she looks unless , and her nails are perfectly manicured. Her eyebrows have a natural arch to them, and her full lips have a slight upturn to them, so she constantly looks like she’s smirking. And most of the time…she is.
Personality:
Evera is a silent worker. She works in subtle ways to get the things that she desires most. Whereas most people will barge through and claim, Evera will scheme and use her wits and cunning to bring about the change that will suit her needs.
She can be deemed as cold and unfeeling but there is a deeper sense to the outlier. One must dig deeper then face value to see the true colors, no matter what shade they are. Few have recognized her true beauty held within the dark depths. Accepting of anything with a dark nature Evera embraces the ways of battle and death like someone familiar with its intricate designs. She is controlled in how she shows people her true workings, choosing only to reveal them to those that are truly worthy.
Evera doesn't do anything by half. If she embarks on a challenge, she will do whatever it takes to accomplish it.. If she loves, she loves with her whole being.. if she hates, then the worse death is reserved for that being.
However, despite her driven nature, she has a tendency to let her own arrogance that runs so rampant in her family get in her way. Because of this, she can also be very vain and insubordinate, which can get her in trouble. She has the tendency to be stubborn as a mule and is unwilling to listen to others, even if she knows they’re right.
She has the tendency to become confrontational if she fears that someone is starting rumors about her, and her explosive temper often has a tendency to run away with her. She usually is very level headed, but you insult anyone she holds close, it’s going to be ugly. When she gets angry, it’s almost impossible to get her away from her target. And she won’t care who’s in the way when she gets in a rage. You can only get her off by throwing a rope around her and pull her off.
The young woman has the biggest fear of having someone take advantage of her, emotionally, sexually, financially. She hates feeling powerless, or that she does not have control of anything, be it a battle or a relationship. She often will do whatever is needed to feel in control, be it a put down or start rumors. But, unless you get on her bad side, she is a pleasant person.
History:
Evera was born in the summer as the third child of Monsieur and Madame de Changy. As the only daughter of two of the wealthiest and most influential families of the time, she grew up with all of the privilege that one would expect. Se had every material thing her heart desired, private tutors, and was the little princess of the de Changy kingdom. However with all this privilege came great responsibilities and expectations. A de Changy was expected to excel in all areas. They were expected to be in control of themselves at all times, and they were expected to uphold everything it meant to bear the last name, and her parents allowed for nothing less than perfection in all of those areas
Evera has always adored and worshiped her mother, wanting to be just like her. She would always watch and try to mimic everything she could, spending hours in her mother’s study, copying everything she could. In turn, the older woman gave her daughter the attention she desired. Her mother arranged for private tutors, but there were some branches of magic she taught her daughter herself. She and her father were relatively close, but their relationship was nothing like that between she and her mother. However, Monsieur de Changy taught Evera an art that required balance and quick thinking, which would later help her in her ballet career: dueling with a blade.
Raoul joined the services when Eva was 9, and left the little girl without her best friend. For a year, she wrote to him every day and waited for replies that never came. Finally she had bore enough and put her ballet lessons to use, joining the cast at the Opera Populair. She has remained there happily since always hearing stories of The Opera Ghost but never seeing any proof of his existence.
During an accident while riding her horse, Eva injured her ankle and was out for the performance of Don Juan Triumphant, but her entire lift was thrown into a whirl when her brother returned with intentions of marrying Christine Daae. Thrown into a deep depression at the thought of her losing her brother to another woman, she returned to the Opera house directly following the ceremony.
She remained there for five years, working to rebuild it, always hearing stories of The Opera Ghost but never seeing any proof of his existence. When the Opera house was complete, and the reproduction of Don Juan was announced, Eva was shocked when she was give the part of Donna Anna. Despite the warnings, Eva remained to her theory of “There’s no such things as ghosts.” Now she’s about to find out how deathly wrong she was.

Role Play Sample (3 paragraphs form any rp you did):
The rain was pouring down on the roof of the Opera Populair, thunder rolling and lightening striking the sky. On the stage, the soft sound of ballet shoes tapping over the wood planking. The dancer was in her practice apparel of a short, white underdress of sorts and her point shoes. Her hair was pinned up, but a few pieces were falling into her face and beautiful, hazel eyes.
Despite her lack of height, Evera de Changy had the body of a dancer. Lean but firm legs so long that most everyone called then "thoroughbred" legs. Even when she was not on stage she moved with catlike intensity, graceful in everything she did from dressing to saddling her horse. Even now, despite the distracting rain and thunder, she looked at home on the stage.
After a moment, she dropped down onto the stage, her left leg stretched out and her right foot on her left thight. She rubbed her ankle gently and tenderly, hissing slightly as she did so. After she had broken it falling from her horse, it would begin to give after a good work out, and then begin to pain her.
She sat on the stage for a long period of time, rubbing the sore joint, hoping someone would come and distract her.
