Biography

coming soon

Do they share information about themselves with their teammates freely or do they keep their personal life to themselves (or something in-between)?

She has learned to keep her private and professional lives separate, from experiences in the past that have compromised one or the other should they bleed together. Those co-workers who she opens up to are often personal friends who know her family. But, there are moments when certain details about her children might slip through the cracks. 

What is her attitude? 

She balances on the fence between someone who relies on their knowledge of the many rules and regulations and someone who follows her intuition. Oftentimes it is a blend of the two that is needed to land that killing blow in any of her cases. However, she does not go easy on anyone who dismisses the guidelines and decree set in place entirely -  some leeway is often necessary but a complete disregard for that proverbial red tape can be devastating. 

Education/Career: 

Evelyn has a degree in Law and Criminology from the University of Portsmouth as well as International Relations from Cambridge. She knew quite early on that a career in law enforcement was her goal, but the details became clear later on - or rather, life guided her into place. She has been a member of Interpol for 15 years, the majority of those in Organized Crime. The journey there was rarely easy, she was often held back as her male counterparts were brought in, despite her seniority and clear aptitude. 

But, as time went on and the world changed, Eve managed to prove herself capable.  At this time, she isn’t seeking any higher rank, fearing it might restrict her from working in the field. 

She was asked by a close friend in the US, the then leader in command over UNIT, to work as a liaison for Interpol. The work doesn’t take up all of her time and she can still tend to her duties as normal, back in France. However, she would not be opposed to work closer and more often with the team. 

Do they have a family/close friends? 

Family is Evelyn’s highest priority, above all her two daughters. Anais (24), whose abduction (see bio) caused a tornado of emotions early in her life, struggled to recover for many years. Her father was killed in the rescue mission. Mireille (21) - the daughter Eve had with her then husband Henri - was born Michael but completed her transition in 2011. Her identity was clear to Evelyn and the family very early on, and the process was only made harder by the non-family members and former friends who disapproved.

Eve knows the strength both of her daughters encompass, and should she fear for their safety - it is merely the worry that all mothers feel, regardless of their work. She has taught them to defend themselves and she has enormous support from Henri, her parents and sister Eden, all who care for and protect one another.

In a situation where sacrificing a few civilians could save many civilians, what would they do?
