(No you totally cant tell where I started getting tired of working on it - shut up) Anyways! Enjoy some facts about her below the read more! Warning for spoilers if you haven't seen the movie or read the book yet!
•Has scars from childhood accidents on her face, and arms. Some of her arm scars are from accidents involving her family's cats during kitten/warming up stages, but she treasures them and gets emotional staring at them sometimes. •Has tattoos, most on her back, thighs or chest. One of which is a snow leopard and a fox curled together on her thigh. She got that one long before she met Grace. •Glasses are unintentional (on her part) nod to petrova line. She got the frames a long time ago before the line and astrophage was discovered. Her friend helped her pick out the frames and she just never changed them due to being indecisive most of the time. •Archeologist with qualified pilot training, only agreed to be a second pilot to help due to bad mental state at the time. Almost regretted it but stop regretting it after meeting Rocky and getting to know Grace. •Snuck a couple plushies and her own indulgences on the trip the only known plush to Eva Stratt is the charm that is hooked to her jumpsuit. •Cut hair during the trip to Tau Ceti but got interrupted by Grace, cutting some too short. Chased him for a bit before leaving some long, thus having jellyfish hair style thats almost always in braids. •Touch starved already before the mission but suppressed it as long as she could during until both Grace and her cracked. •Was excited to see Blip-A but then got distracted by Grace's terrible piloting, was arguing with him most of the time during the "chase". •Hated witnessing Grace going out on the first space walk. Scared the shit out of her. •"YOU'RE A SCIENTIST AND A SCIENCE TEACHER, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WAFT IT, WAFT IT! NOT INHALE IT!" "I WAS IN THE MOMENT AND I HAVE AMNESIA-" "YOU REMEMBERED WHAT KIND OF MICROSCOPE IT WAS BY LOOKING AT IT-" "THAT DOESNT COUNT-" •"So they threw it directly at you through the air lock?" "Yep. Made it much easier to catch." ".....They really said "hey man that was scary as fuck, never do that again," huh?" "Stop-" •Gets emotional sometimes when telling Rocky about earth. •Was against teaching Grace how to pilot, gave in after both Grace and Rocky bothered her about it. •Hates that both Rocky and Grace won't let her go on the space walks. She's stressed everytime Grace goes out.
•Got thrown from other pilot chair and across the cockpit when they get pulled by Adrian's orbit. Leg got sliced open by a fallen tool/dislodged object, making it harder for her to get up to help Grace. •Nose scar caused by broken Xenonite hitting her when Rocky broke it to save Grace (and her) •Upper arm scar/burn in shape of Rocky's handprint from helping him back into his ball before finally letting Armando/Mary patch up her leg. •Stayed near Rocky's space after bandaged up, before making rounds between checking on Rocky and Grace, refusing to rest most of the time until Grace wakes up. •Stays near Rocky's side as Grace works on breeding the taumoba, keeps him updated as she makes sure that Rocky is treated. •Wouldn't let go of Rocky's ball for a while when he woke up. •Still furious for Grace when its revealed he was forced to come against his will. Doesn't hate Stratt fully but has issues with her due to being lied to. •Has smaller Eridan hand print burns on her arms and some burning on her back from rescuing some pebbles from an accident, wears them and Rocky's print as badges of honor. •Embraces being considered an Eridan like Grace does.
