history
Eve was born an only child in rural Oklahoma, surrounded by family. Her mother, at the time still attending college, was away most of the time and so the little girl grew up very close to her great-grandparents, who practically raised every kid in the family. They were a strongly religious family, especially Eve's great-grandma, and as a girl she made Eve go to Sunday school every week. At the time, she didn't mind and could recite Bible verses off the top of her head.
But as she grew older, her mother graduated college and the two lived alone, far from the rest of their family in California. Everetta slowly began to develop her own opinions about the world, becoming steadfastly agnostic in blatant disregard for her Christian routes. As her great-grandparents died, and all that was left were her nosy and very stubbornly opinionated grand-parents, the girl began to communicate less with her remaining family and lock herself away in her room. Her friends had been he family all throughout her life, and now, it seemed her friends were either dead or would never accept her for who she was. It wasn't easy for her to make new friends, since she was so shy and had been so sheltered for much of her life. Eve was banned from getting any piercings, tattoos, or dying her hair. In middle school and the first half of high school, her life revolved around getting good grades and trying to talk herself into going to concerts. She idolized the bands that she saw, was even obsessed with one or two. But her poor social skills and social anxiety held her back. She never made many friends, and those she did make were long-distance. Meanwhile, her mother was going through marriage after marriage, never able to settle down.
At the age of seventeen, Everetta was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder. It made sense. She hated herself and feared what others thought, and tried to justify herself and her actions when she avoided contact with other people. Perhaps it was all those years of avoiding her family and fearing what they would say if they knew who Eve really was. Or perhaps it was seeing her mother's happiness crumble in a matter of months, over and over again. At any rate, her disorder remains largely untreated, though she is recovering slowly. Needless to say, Eve has never been big on the dating scene and has actually left a few broken hearts in her wake.
In her junior year of high school, while by herself at a concert, Eve was "discovered" by a band she somewhat liked. They had noticed her stunning makeup, and when they found she did it herself all the time, they passed the word around about the teenage girl with a talent. Before long, she saw a job offer with the local concert hub, to do hair and makeup for the performing acts. Eventually, she convinced herself to take it.
And not much later, she abruptly dropped out of high school and lived another two years with just her mother. The two had a strained and stressful relationship while Eve worked - she was supposed to go on to college, graduate, and be a doctor or a lawyer or something. But that just wasn't what Everetta wanted. She followed her dreams relentlessly, pushing aside family and friends to get what made her happy.
When she moved out on her own she finally dyed her hair and got a few piercings (her mother did them, as she was the closest to a piercer Eve knew and she'd finally relented). She continues to work hair and makeup, though she always calls in sick when her favorite people might be there - the idols she looks up to, but would never meet. What would they think of her, after all? She can't cook, she can barely clean, she stutters sometimes, she hates the way she looks and thinks and feels and even sounds.
But maybe one day...
