Skills and Abilities
Major
Demonic Patron - Evelyn's soul is bound to the demonic goddess Xyzo. In exchange for her soul and loyalty, Evelyn is granted access to Xyzo's power which can be called upon with a chant or incantation of sorts. Though having that much power coursing through her body for more than a minute or two is exhausting, not to mention dangerous.
Minor
Multilingual - Speaks Common, Elvish, Dwarfish, and Abyssal.
Knife Fighting - Her preferred method of dealing with opponents.
Highly Intelligent
Evelyn is also very skilled in reading people. She also has a knack for getting people to tell her what she wants to know.

Items
Tome of Infinite Knowledge - Used by Evelyn to take notes on discoveries and things she observes. A brown nondescript leather bound tome. Appears like any other book, but once the cover is closed, a small number of blank pages appear in the back. As far as Evelyn can tell, this will repeat an infinite number of times. Though the book will never grow thicker, it gradually increases in weight over time the more pages are added. When not in use, the information contained within is organized in a neat, orderly manner to keep it easy to search.
Large Kitchen Knife - Kept under her dress in a sheath strapped to her leg.

Personality
A soft spoken and reserved, yet sharply intelligent girl, Evelyn tends to come off as uninterested or bored. Nearly everything she says is uttered in a neutral tone. She feels emotion like any other person but struggles to express herself.
Evelyn is an avid reader and can often times be found with her nose buried in a book from her late grandmother's archives. A lover of fiction and nonfiction alike, her favorite books are ones full of spells and incantations.
For a polite and well behaved girl who never causes any trouble, there's something a little off about her. While not one known to get into fights, if pulled into one or provoked, she will take great joy in seeing her opponent suffer.

Biography & Lore
Evelyn was born in the outer city of Alliria, to parents whose names have long been scratched from the city records. She spent her early days playing with the other children, though she gradually came to prefer more lonesome activities like reading and drawing.
One day when Evelyn was around five, a young woman from the prestigious Greywood School for the Gifted stopped by Evelyn's home to offer her a full scholarship, under the behest of a mysterious sponsor. The young woman said the sponsor had been watching her for a few months, and was impressed by how quickly her mind was developing. Her parents readily agreed, and Evelyn soon found herself at the boarding school.
Not long after her arrival, her parents mysteriously disappeared from the face of Arethil. Evelyn was sent to live with a young woman named Charity, who joyfully adopted her.
Evelyn quickly rose through the grades, and by the time she was nine, she was preparing to enter the secondary school. Having graduated at the young age of 16, Evelyn now looks forward to a full life as a scholar.
