There's probably a lot of little secrets that only one or two people (and often not the same one or two) know about Eva. Â I suppose I can give up a few of these:
1. Her born name was not Eva. Â She changed it herself for two very specific reasons.
2. She was obese for most of her teenage years and the first half of her twenties.
3. For the few months after her father's passing and before the Calamity, she possessed tremendous wealth as the result of an inheritance. Â This was lost before she could figure out how to spend much of it.
4. She's skilled in sleight-of-hand and the use of daggers but makes no public mention of such and only performs simple parlor tricks for amusement (and will not be a ninja ICly).
5. She does not understand how she's able to manipulate aether but simply accepts it - the more she tries to rationalize/understand, the less potent her ability. Â Apart from healing, she is only able to control water, though she has touched wind in the past under certain conditions.
6. She lost a son during childbirth when she was in her late twenties which supposedly left her barren. Â That she got pregnant and gave birth to twins more recently is something she looks upon as a miracle and blessing from Nophica.
7. After losing a dear friend several years ago she has had a difficult time forming solid friendships. Â She tends to think she is more respected than liked, and that others keep a certain respectful distance from her. Â She yearns for the days she had a 'bestie' who could break through those barriers and wonders if she ever will have that kind of friendship with anyone again.
8. Due to her cultural upbringing, she has a derisive outlook of people who proclaim to be family where there is no blood or matrimonial ties - e.g. close friends calling themselves brothers or sisters. Â She views it as a slight to actual family, but seldom expresses any negative thoughts about it.
9. She is slow to fall in love, but in those times when she does she becomes fiercely protective, a bit possessive, and unwavering in her devotion to that individual.
10. She borders on being obsessive-compulsive about cleanliness and tidiness, more pertaining to placement of objects in a room but also with some regard to personal hygeine.
11. She is an avid swimmer and will often swim early in the spring and late in the autumn when the water is too chilly - which she says doesn't bother her. Â As a result she often catches a cold during these times of the year. Â She also will only swim alone in private [or with a lover]. Â In part because of past meaning, and in part because of her own physical insecurities, she views it as a very personal and spiritual thing and not as a recreational activity - though she does not begrudge others who swim in public. It is just something sacred for her.
12. She's probably addicted to tea, chocolate, and white wine.
