REPUTATION : Evelina's reputation is rather two-faced. To the people of Russia, she's their "darogoy" or "darling". She cares deeply about the people and about her country and wants to strive to get a strong alliance in order to further boast Russia as an even more powerful empire than it already is. She wants Russia to have a strong foundation that will last long after she's dead and buried. Because of this, the people see the youngest Rurik child as special though not as special as her older siblings, but they still see her as being rather important. The other side of Evelina is apparent behind closed doors away from her people. She is tough, hopeful, persuasive, stubborn, emotional and has been known to use her beauty and wit to get her way, which some see as scandalous while others praise her for using her gift. The youngest Rurik daughter is not above seducing men of power to get her way, though don't expect any actual sex to come from her seduction, the Duchess is currently a virgin and merely seduces with her beauty as a manipulation tactic. Evelina is expected to save herself for marriage and she has upheld that expectation. She is definitely underestimated because of her older sisters and their accomplishments and stronger personalities, but Evelina may be the young and beautiful Rurik child but she is more dangerous than some realize. A beautiful yet persuasive woman who knows how to use her gift can cause a lot of turmoil and chaos if she so pleases.
WANTED CONNECTIONS : - A husband to help her build a strong alliance for her country, and so she can have someone to nag all day.
- Enemies who oppose her family and who oppose Russia.
- Spies to do her dirty work.
- Friends that she can confide in.
- Evelina's ex-lover Leopold, who was infatuated with Evelina but he couldn't be with her because he wasn't good enough in her family's eyes. It's worth mentioning that Evelina and Leopold were in love but never slept together because of her duties as Russia's Grand Duchess.
What are some potential plotlines you are interested in pursuing?
A marriage plot where Evelina's new husband finally is able to see what his new wife is really like... and he sees what a handful she truly is. Another plot would be a revenge plot or a dramatic plot where Evelina and Character B trade insults over something that happened... that something can be trivial or it could be very important.
What current conflicts does your character face?
Not much at the moment, but she definitely faces the inner conflict of respecting and envying her older sister since she feels that she has always been in her shadow.
Three Bullet Points:
As the youngest of the Rurik siblings, Evelina got away with everything when she was a child, simply put she was a spoiled brat. She respected and loved her brothers and sisters but she would put the servants through Hell. She was known to throw tantrums and cry when she didn't get her way. As an adult, she doesn't do that much anymore but she uses her beauty, her persuasiveness and her wit to manipulate people into getting what she wants. Evelina is still an emotional person but she hides that by being quiet and only unleashing her volatile and sensitive personality behind closed doors. The Grand Duchess loves to party but when it's time for her to get serious, she won't hesitate to do so.
As a child, Evelina was bed bound a lot due to constantly catching colds, especially during the winter. Her siblings would visit her when they weren't busy, her father would check in on her from time to time, but her mother was cold-hearted and rarely saw the sick girl. This caused Evelina to resent and hate her mother. The then young girl's immune system got stronger as she got older and she very rarely gets sick now as a result. The servants used to call her "Little Devil Child" behind her back due to how nasty she was towards them when she was sick. Everyday she would throw soup at them or a cup of tea. Evelina was an angry and spoiled brat when she was a kid due to being jealous of her siblings since they played around the palace or went on trips while she stayed in bed. She was also angry at her mother for never being there for her. As soon as her colds went away, she was whipped into shape and soon taught everything she needed to know about the role she would receive as an adult... the role of Grand Duchess of Russia... but first, she had to start taking better care of herself and her appearance in order to become the woman she is today.
One of the many important events in her life was when she met her now ex lover/suitor. He was extremely handsome and he adored her despite her flaws, but her family didn't like him... he wouldn't suffice in giving Russia a strong alliance with a strong country... so they sent him away and Evelina hasn't seen him in two years. She was heartbroken but she knew that eventually she had to be married to someone that would end up benefiting the family and her country... it was her duty to ensure that after all.
