I'll try to keep this fairly brief... Fail
• What kind of stories has your character gotten into?
Eva gave birth to twins one year ago [from tomorrow] and much of the focus during 2014 has been on her adjusting to a different sort of motherhood. Surviving the Calamity has become less of a focus and reuniting fellow survivors and friends took a back seat. Her dreams of seeing Crystalline as a charity organization dashed, she sought instead to shape it into something not unlike what Everwatch (a LS of 1.0) used to be, but she lacks natural leadership abilities. This coupled with a desire to spend more time with her new babies led to her appointing Costia the new leader of Crystalline. Since that time the company has faced a number of adversaries that have tested loyalties, forged friendships, and brought the group closer together.
• How has your character changed since you rolled them (Or if you have been here since the beginning, since 2013)?
The first part of 2014 brought with it a lot of frustration for Eva, finding challenge in managing her time and wanting to be there for her children as well as her "other children." This frustration eventually gave way to acceptance that she as a single mother cannot be everything she wishes she could be for everyone. Rather than trying to do it all, she has found peace in spending what time she is able with those for whom she cares, when she is able to pry herself away from her children.
• What has been your favorite RP moment this year?
There have been a few stand-out RP moments this year. A scene at Selene's cell stands out in my mind. The moment where Eva realized she couldn't lead any longer and handed the reins over to Costia. A scene with Ki'lari and an unexpected embrace. Any of a number of awkward exchanges with Caen. Giving the monthly parable at Jancis' big ceremony for Nophica instead of the usual much smaller group.
• What was the most shocking RP moment this year?
Caen's grand professions of love and generally "moving too quickly" were perhaps a bit unexpected, if not entirely shocking. Their budding romance has been advancing, if at a glacier's pace, and it has been really sweet.
• Has your character made any mistakes?
Some days it feels like my character does nothing but make mistakes. The biggest of which probably has to do with a company merger she looks back on with a good amount of regret, after how things played out. She seems to always land on her feet though.
• What was the most surprising thing you found out about your character?
Eva took to motherhood naturally, however it still surprises me that she held sway as a leader for awhile there.
• What relationships did your character build?
Eva has tried (and probably failed) to grow closer in her friendships - with Aysun and Costia in particular. She seems to maintain a respectful distance despite wishing she could find the sort of "besties" friendship she once had with Silvia. She has had some difficulty letting go the father of her children (who passed away before the Calamity) and moving on with a relationship with Caen.
• Any relationships that fell apart?
I wouldn't say any relationships collapsed entirely, but Aysun's departure from the company impacted her on a deeper level than she has really communicated to anyone. There continues to be a friction between Eva and a couple of the company's members who do not seem to share in her views, but she is growing to make peace with this.
• What was your favorite large-scale event and why?
I really enjoyed participating at the Celebration for the Matron in Gridania back in November and hearing the other stories and giving a parable that was perhaps more personal than it seemed.
• What was your favorite smaller-scale event and why?
I enjoy most of my one-on-one role-plays. As a priestess the larger scale events are fun, but I really enjoy - and by extension I think it's fair to say that at some level Eva enjoys as well - playing the role of therapist and hearing people talk about their pains and trying to offer comfort, solace, and counsel wherever possible. In short, I like giving blessings and prayers, but I love interacting on a more personal level and giving comfort and advice.
• What are you looking most forward to seeing in the future with your characters growth and story?
It is hard to say. As a sort of "supporting character" Eva's story has always been more dictated by circumstance and those about whom she cares. I foresee her growing more comfortable in her motherhood role and further accepting her place with the church - the latter of which was something she first met with a certain degree of reservation. I expect her relationship with Caen - still after all this time somewhat tenuous - will at some point over the next twelve months either evolve into something greater or dissolve entirely. There are one or two [unlikely] characters who may fit that role of "bestie", but further interactions will be needed to see if that void ever gets filled.
