if you were extremely blunt and attempt to summarize evelyn dalton in less than five words, it would probably consist of vain, decisive, instinctive and stubborn. when it comes to making decisions, regardless of what is at stake or how much a decision will impact upon someone's life, evelyn favours the first thought approach. she doesn't see why anyone should spend large periods of time deep in thought, when it seems obvious to her, the first idea you have is the one you should select. on this account, one might also label evie as slightly impulsive also, with little wondering put into her life. when it comes to actively making the decisions for herself, evie puts no more effort or thought into the action, believing that her 'first choice' should always be the one she will ultimately make, delegating no more than about five minutes to decision-making. for this girl, every detail that needs considering is contemplated in the first few minutes and she wastes no time selecting the more appealing choice as fast as possible. perhaps it seems easier to her for her other trait of being instintive, there is no doubt in her mind about which option in a situation will be the one to benefit her more, and obviously she will select this one over the alternative/s. evie has always been one to know what she wants and how best to go about getting this thing. why should any more details than her desires and benefit go into a decision? as anyone from four hundred miles away could sense, evelyn dalton is also incredibly vain. she cares for her appearance to extremes rarely seen in people. although she'd never admit it, she's rather scared to face the world looking worse for wear. she's also phobic of mannequins, to the point that she refuses to walk into a store with these horrible creations lying in wait for her.

not being strikingly different to the rest of her family, evelyn has brown hair. the things that make her seem more different are not physical, however, unless you were attempting to describe the difference between one of her brothers and her. this is not to say that evelyn looks almost identical to her sisters, because this would be inaccurate and rather rude, since none of the girls are twins or otherwise. her shade of brown hair is quite deep and thus noticeable from a distance, but perhaps it is the length and style which most distinguishes it from that of her sisters. usually, evelyn will request that her hair is curled or slightly wavy, unless she has a reason to want her hair to be straightened. naturally, her hair will fall at a length just below the middle of her back and is naturally wavy. thus, she often finds that this style suits her enough to warrant it to stay this way, however this is always subject to mood changes. if there's one thing that's important to evie, it's her appearance. she cannot accept that she should go outside of her bedroom looking anything less than perfect. if she had her own way, every time she had a 'bad hair day' she wouldn't even bother getting up. for this girl, every day should be treated in a similar manner as the last, with nothing being a reasonable excuse to look anything other than amazing. since she enjoys looking good, she'll often make the effort to ensure this at various points throughout the day and dressing to match her perfected appearance. although she is aware of her parents expectations to wear long flowing dresses at all times in company, she frequently finds such apparel uncomfortable and prefers shorter dresses or skirts as an alternative.

GENERAL HISTORY

as might be expected, evelyn has lived the life of a spoiled rich child for many years, indulging in everything that her family's wealth has provided for as long as she can remember. since she discovered at the age of eleven she's magical also, she was quite happy to act like the spoiled brat she grew into. consequently, she has always behaved as she continues to do now, completely against the idea of earning money for herself. she has never seen any reason to, when everything she could ever want or need is provided without question. a critical person could observe that, in personality and attitude, evelyn has hardly changed since learning to walk and talk at an early age. she has always treated people she believes to be 'lower' than herself in an ignorant manner, although not usually a mean way. she has never gone out of her way to avoid someone or to taunt someone for being a lower status to herself, but she has always come to the conclusion that she should continue to act in the way that she has been brought up in - to be civil, but not overly-friendly towards the people surrounding her. this applies not only to servants, but other people, even her own siblings to an extent. evelyn respects and loves her family, but prefers to distance herself from the idea of showing too much emotion. from a young age, evie has had ideas about how her life should be lived and how it should progress, everything going smoothly and exactly as she had planned. since she expected nothing less than this, she was never particularly grateful that nothing happened to upset her plans. this drastically changed when her parents seemed suddenly determined to match-make for their middle daughter and introduce to her to men they believed to be a viable match. while evelyn initially had no objection to this idea, she frequently finds the relationships becoming more serious and desires a way out of commitment to someone she is not particularly interested in. once she realised that this was not going to stop any time soon, she resorted to learning everything she could about these potential husbands and inventing reasons as to why she could not marry them which her parents, she was relieved to find, accepted. making this seem worse and more complicated is the fact that she has developed a weird and unfamiliar sensation in her stomach around one of the servants. not being comfortable or liking the idea of this feeling continuing, she attempted to rid herself of the emotions, with little success, causing further inner frustration. although she's now convinced herself that she has fully recovered from this 'illness', she can't help but suspect it has every chance of resurfacing. knowing that this 'stupid' crush cannot ever amount to anything, she spends a reasonable amount of time attempting to keep her thoughts under control. to put it simply, having these feelings is something she is not happy with, giving her a motive to distance herself from servants in general, and express her frustration through sharp insults or outbursts directed at any of the staff who come too close.

RELATIVES
being part of a reasonably large family, evelyn currently resides with nine (on occasion, eleven) of her relatives. when they are surprised with the pleasure of more family, the family also consists of her maternal grandfather, james clarke (sixty-eight) and his wife rosalie clarke (sixty-seven). sharing the high status of being the oldest daltons are her paternal grandparents, clifford (sixty-five) and marie dalton (sixty-three), who evelyn received her middle name from. next in line are the parents of evelyn and her siblings, andrew (forty-four) and priscilla (forty-six). finally, we take into consideration the remaining dalton children, who are older siblings joshua (twenty-four) and bethany (twenty-three) and younger siblings arthur (nineteen), isabella (seventeen) and harrison (sixteen).

my name is cait or, more appropriately, this is what most people will refer to me as. i'm an adult by almost any country's standards now and this makes me older and wiser than you. joking, but it does make me a university student. i enjoy reading, to the extent that it stops me from doing important things occasionally and watching films. i also like a few television programmes such as merlin, the o.c, gossip girl, misfits and glee. don't judge me too harshly when i say that i'm also currently addicted to made in chelsea. (particularly hugo) i don't really think about food much but i love ratatouille. try it, i'd highly recommend.
