“Hi there! My name is Evelyn Rigby, a sixteen-year-old girl from Chicago with a rather unconventional background. I happen to be the biological daughter of Murray Bauman, who, despite his eccentric and sometimes foolish nature, is my father. Unfortunately, after the death of my biological mother, I found it challenging to accept him as a father figure.
So, I temporarily moved in with the Byers family, Joyce and Jim Hopper, and their three children: Jonathan, Will, and Jane. Jane, in particular, always amazed me with her childlike wonder, as if she had been sheltered from the world. Staying with them helped me cope with my grief and adjust to my new reality. It also introduced me to their group of friends.
I'm an introverted teenager who prefers a more masculine look, sporting jeans and oversized t-shirts. Despite my initial aloofness, I'm actually a highly sensitive and compassionate person. I despise all forms of bullying, discrimination, and inequality. You could say I'm a bit of a feminist.
I find solace in Gothic and classic English literature (although I secretly enjoy romance novels too). I love playing the bass, reading comic books, pulp novels, and superhero stories. I have a slight fascination with crystals, particularly amethyst. When it comes to music, I'm into classic rock from the '60s and '70s, but I have a soft spot for ABBA and a passion for karaoke.
My all-time favorite movie is the cult classic musical, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," and I have a crush on the English actor Tim Curry. However, my true weakness lies in ghost stories and haunted houses. I can't get enough of them.
So, that's a little glimpse into who I am, Evelyn Rigby. An introspective and sensitive teenager who loves diving into the realms of music, literature, and the supernatural.”
