Background:
When she was eleven years old Evony's father Henri Deveraux was sent to Montenoire as an ambassador. As a cousin to the King Henri could be trusted to represent and negotiate for him. Henri took his family with him; his wife Celeste Sterling Deveraux and their children: sons Pascale (then 17) and Bayard (then 14), and daughters Evony and Nathalie (then 6). Given her father's new position Evony was taught, and became fluent in, several languages. She was also taught diplomacy since she had a fairly patient demeanor.
Evony loved her parents and was deeply upset by her mother's passing. While she adored her brother Bayard (whom she called "Bay"), she and Pascale didn't get along very well because Pascale was a bit of a bully in his youth; she still doesn't hold him in good regard to this day. She and Nathalie were very close despite the five year difference in age.
As she grew into a charming, decorous young woman she was offered a position as a Lady-In-Waiting to the former Grand Duchess Amina Remington which she accepted. She formed a close friendship with the Duchess' children Kathryn and Nich. She loves the former like a sister and the latter was her first (discreet) crush. During this time she learned archery, dancing, and how to expertly ride a horse. She loved the life she had in Montenoire; enjoying the countryside and its residents. Not one to enjoy the company of fools, there are some amongst the nobles whose presence she is happy to no longer have to endure any longer.
Now the King is recalling Henri so that he might pledge fealty to Nicolette as she assumes the throne and so Evony now finds herself traveling with Kathryn and Nick to Archades and to the new life awaiting her there.
Writing Sample:
Evony sat at her writing desk, finishing up the last of the correspondences that she had fallen behind on due to having been ill for a few days. Her task completed, she set the letter upon a pile of others that were to go out later that day. She sighed. While she had elegant handwriting she rather disliked writing letters. It seemed tedious to her, unless there was something of importance to say. Then again, she also disliked idle chitchat preferring instead to get straight to the point in matters. She'd been scolded once or twice about finding a husband with such a straightforward demeanor but she shrugged it off. If she wed, and that was a big IF, she hoped the man in question would prefer a woman who didn't play word games. If not....well she'd cross that bridge when she came to it.
