hello there, my name is Evelyn Estrada but you can call me Ev. i'm 22 so that makes me an alumni of Hogwarts, where I resided in Ravenclaw house. You could say I'm intelligent, knowledgeable and witty but I personally think that I am clever, reserved and observant. People say I look a lot like Gina Rodriguez, but I don't really see it...

overall personality:
Evelyn sees her best quality as her intelligence. She was raised in a family where studying and being learned is very important. She does well at it to. Studying and remembering things always came quite easily to her (made even easier by the fact that she has a photographic memory), which is why she was so delighted to be placed in Ravenclaw House.
One thing she always tried to study, but never really understood was human interaction. She spent quite a lot of time watching people (and not joining in) that she is very perceptive when it comes to reading people, though she doesn't know how to relate to anyone at all. Ev is not good at relationships with other people. Of course, she gets along with and loves her parents dearly, but when it came to school, she had a tendency to focus entirely on her studies and ignore the people around her. Many people probably see her as snobbish and arrogant, but really she doesn't know how to interact with others. At any given meal, or when walking down the corridors or lounging outside in the sun, Evelyn was always found with her nose in a book.
Something she never expected to come from all the books she read was a desire for adventure. Ev read so many books and learned so many things that she longed to do something exciting. She wanted to see some of the things she read about in books, experience different things. The one thing she found in school that somewhat soothed her desire for adventure was playing Quidditch. Her parents thought it was just for fun, but it really became her lifeline. Once she graduated, she joined the Falmouth Falcons to keep at least a little adventure in her life. Still, she wants to find another outlet to give her adventure.

history:
Evelyn grew up in what she thought was a normal home. Her parents both worked, she went to school and things stayed the same. Her parents loved one another and her as well, and she grew up happy, albeit the fact that strange things seemed to happen when she was overly emotional (whether it be happy, sad, angry, etc.). With her dad being a professor, learning was highly stressed in their home and was something that came to be very important to Ev. She loved to read and discover new things, from the time she could read (which was very early because her parents started to teach her as soon as she could speak). As a result, she never really made friends at school, being too focused on the learning aspect.
When she turned 11 and got the letter about Hogwarts, she had mixed feelings. She'd noticed strange things happening, but never attributed it to magic. At first, she didn't believe them when they said she had magic. After helping her reason through it, however, she came to believe them and was very excited for the new opportunity to learn so much more. She went to Hogwarts enthusiastically, delighted when she was placed into the house that was well-known for being smart.
Ev did great at Hogwarts, though she stayed a loner while she was there. As per usual for her, she focused entirely on her studies and not at all on getting to know people. Her need for knowledge was clear to anyone who met her. She studied for all her classes, took as many as she could and scored well quite easily. Magic seemed to come quite naturally for her, which was a relief. She heard that some people in Hogwarts didn't think that people who came from Muggle families were any good. So she was happy to prove them wrong. At least, she was happy to prove that she did well. In addition to her studies, Evelyn decided to take up Quidditch to satisfy her inner desire for adventure. And it worked! She loved the adrenaline of being a beater on the Ravenclaw Quidditch team and did very well at it.
Once she graduated from Hogwarts, her parents expected her to take some job where she could continue to learn, but by then Ev decided she'd had enough learning and gave in fully to her desire for adventure by joining the Falmouth Falcons. She loved being part of the team and slowly started letting some of her teammates get close to her and get to know her. It was during this time that she realized why she'd always been so closed-off: because she had a big fear of rejection. When it came to the things happening at Hogwarts, Ev was worried. More for the people like her than for herself. She wasn't in school, so she was safe, right? Besides that, she knew quite well how to take care of herself. However, she didn't approve at all of the people who were attacking muggleborns. It was a cowardly thing to do.
