I think this is a good idea. Â There was recently a similar thread which you might want to bump as well (it was only down on page 3) about "You might know me from..." which offers some additional points of common interest from which connections may be drawn. Â Also don't be afraid to shoot a PM to any other RPer that might be at the same place. Â I think most would be happy to have some sort of connection, whether as just a passing acquaintance they know from working in a particular place to something more than that!
To address the post itself though, possible connections may be made through her work at Sunsilks Tapestries (mostly mending and commissions for various articles of clothing, but she dabbles a bit in design as well). Also volunteering at Stillglade Fane as a nurse she may have worked with other healer types or tended to you if you were ever a patient there while she was on duty (which exempts about five years for time-skippy reasons).
I can only think of two other significant overlap points, and both relate more specifically to her father, who was one of the dragoons of Ishgard for several years prior to Eva's birth, though he left Ishgard and the knighthood shortly after her birth (PM me if you want specifics years and such).
The other tie-in with her father might relate more specifically to the elite of Ul'dah. Eva's avoided her family name 'Zelorius' for a certain stigma that was attached to it for several years. Characters who are older (or their parents) might remember that name as being attached to a certain merchant who was accused of murdering a number of key individuals after they 'conveniently' turned up dead. While the charges never stuck since there was insufficient evidence, he was presumed guilty by his peers and his business ruined. He kept what wealth he had accumulated and lived out the rest of his life as a sort of hermit in Gridania, his health declining more rapidly after that for about fifteen years until he eventually died. These events were later found out to be the product of a frame job meant by one of Ul'dah's elite to keep an ambitious self-starter from climbing that particular ladder any further, but it's entirely possible that a wealthy family might have somehow been involved (related to those who framed her father, or related to one of the victims even).
