Name:Evangeline Colson
Nicknames: Ella, Eve, Eva, Eline, Elle, Ellie, Angie Etc. She has changed her first name around from town to town every once in while but has always stayed within some form of her real name to ensure there was no confusion in case of a slip up by someone in the family.
Age: 203, but she was turned at age 18 and still appears that age
Role: 18 year old female
Likes: Evangeline enjoys many things including animals, scented candles, nature, going for walks, flowers, candy, getting dressed up, piano music- even though she never bothered to really learn to play Sapphire (her birthstone), reading, running, baking, fights- not those sissy girly slap fights but the throwing people across rooms and going for kill shots kind of fights (mainly with her 'siblings' and Christian), being allowed to act like the adult she feels she is. Of course, one of her favourite things is. and has been for decades now, Christian.
Dislikes: She doesn't dislikes too much but there are a few things, such as coffee, horror movies, tomatoes, all these new vampire movies and books that get it all wrong, stupidity and
Hopes: As stupid as it sounds, she just wants to continue being happy. She spent so much of her life on the run, in fear and alone. Now that she has a family again, even as strange and makeshift as it is, she has truly become attached to them and wants nothing more than to be able to live in peace and happiness with them for as long as she can. Of course she also plans to eventually move on from them and start a makeshift family of her own.
Fears: Weakness, as someone who prides herself on being in control of her own life and take care of herself, Evangeline fears weakness.
Personality: Evangeline is the type of girl who is content in her life, she has everything she needs and doesn't want to lose it. Being around for over two hundred years has tought her to enjoy the little things, she finds no need for expensive items, all though she does have a nasty habit of being a slight shopaholic. She has more than enough clothes to survive off of, so much in fact that a large amount still has yet to be unpacked from the boxes she put them in when they moved last time, but owning that much isn't hard to do when you have centuries to accumulate it all. She does however, indulge on something new every once in a while just to keep up with society and the other people 'her own age'.
Evangeline is a winner and loves to come out on top. She is the type of person who loves a good physical fight with her siblings, its fun and good for the practice even if their “mother” isn't so fond of the house getting a few broken lamps or windows. She is smart though, always being sure not to take it too far around humans and keeping herself in check. However, she does sometimes loose control of herself and needs to be reeled in again but that's when her 'brothers' come in, always pulling her back and reminding her to calm down. She is headstrong and determined, refusing to give up on an argument especially when she thinks that she is right, which is most of the time. She is carefree and loves to spend time doing the things she likes. Unlike Chris, Evangeline can be cruel and isn't as interested in making friends with the humans, she finds them petty and naive and has very little patience for them. She has never really bothered to make friends with the people of the towns they move to, believing that making friends with your food only causes needless drama, especially when you have secrets to keep. She also likes to pretend that as a vampire human emotions are stupid and needless. To her its easier than having to worry about making friends and then feeling weird about not telling them of her family's secret and then having to leave them after a few years.
She does have a sweet side to her though, when it comes to their family especially. She puts her whole heart into the things that she loves and fights for them as hard as she can. Christian is one of the few people she has truly fallen for in her lifetime. She couldn't help but instantly fall for him when they met, his caring and protective nature swept her off her feet and before she knew it he had her laughing and smiling, things she hadn't done in nearly a century. She assumed it was just a temporary fling that they would get over after a while but still finds herself in love with him to this day, as little as she likes to admit that she has the ability to love another. She also has some slight abandonment issues, it was right after she had said the words "I love you" that Finn had died and nearly everyone else who has come into her life has left her. Part of her still fears that Christian has only stuck around as long as he has, waiting for her to finally admit her true feelings for him and that once she does he will leave her like everyone else has.
Background: Evangeline was born on a cool September morning to Clara and Lloyd Colson, the 28th of September to be exact. The year was 1809 and they felt blessed to be given a healthy baby, Due to complications, the doctors told her mother that she would never be able to conceive. So Evangeline was their miracle baby and they treated her as such. Her father worked in the logging industry, running the milling company that had been in his family for generations. He easily supported their family and was able to spoil his daughter with everything a little girl could have ever wished for. She didn't have a care in the world, until she turned fourteen and had to begin growing up. Her mother taught her the proper way to act and the right way to do things. She soon found herself informed that the reason her parents were putting so much pressure on her to become a lady was because she had been promised at birth to the son of the owner of her father's biggest competition, they planned to use the marriage of their children to merge the two companies and double their ability to produce and therefore double their profit. Evangeline however was already in love with someone. The boy's name was Finn and he worked as a handboy for her father's company, someone she would never be allowed to marry. By the time she was nearly 16 she was engaged to be married. She decided that she would run away with Finn, they would travel to the city and one day get married themselves. They did not plan on the lack of work for a 17 year old boy who had no proof of work experience. It was rough but they got by, believing that as long as they had each other they would be okay. This dream was shattered when Finn grew sick and died. Her world was broken and this may be why she now refuses to admit she can feel love again. Not wanting to admit that she couldn't take care of herself, she soon found herself on the streets. She began selling herself in order to get by. She spent the next few years being used and abused by strangers. Luckily, or so she thought, only days after her eighteenth birthday she was found by a gentleman who took great interest in her, he did not take pity on the poor girl but instead saw potential in her. She spent one night with the man, the next she awoke as a vampire.
As a vampire she swore that she would never love another. She turned off all human emotions and went on a rampage, hunting down all off the men that had used her in her time on the street. She committed mass murder of these men, not caring about the mess or the danger of her lack of carefulness. She spent the next twenty or so years of her life living in a dark state. For a while she spent time with the man who changed her, he taught her how to control herself and her blood lust. He also taught her how to mask her kills to make them seem like accidents or disappearances. She soon went off on her own again and was found by James when she was in one of her downward spirals. He brought her home with him to meet his already established family. They welcomed her with open arms and she quickly felt at home. They saved her from her own self destruction and she loves them for that. Easily her favourite of them was Christian, Chris instantly became her best friend, being the same age(at least physically) allowed them to connect. He has quickly become the only person she allows to see the sweet side of her, the only one who makes her smile. She's not entirely sure what their relationship is as she refuses to put a label on it since that would involve her having to admit the feelings that she has for him. She's okay with admitting that she doesn't want to be without him and that she enjoys spending time with him, more than anyone else but the word love just hasn't been able to escape her lips.
Appearance: Evangeline is roughly 5'6" and weighs around 117lbs. Her eyes are a light blue in colour that some days turn a more grey or smokey colour. Her hair is blonde and reaches down to just below her shoulders except when it is curled or recently cut. She normal wears it down, either leaving it in its natural straight state or curling it into large loose curls so it reaches her shoulders. Her features are soft and round, with pink lips and cheeks that often turn a similar colour. Her body is fairly slim to average sized so people wouldn't expect her to be as much of a fighter as she is, making it all the more fun to her. She has a light dusting of freckles that are sprinkled across her nose and upper cheeks which on most days she find rather annoying. She has no tattoos and only has her ears pierced, which she had done only a few decades ago. Scar wise she has none as all of her ailments healed with the transition in vampirism.
