Early Years: Evalyn was born to a young woman who was only twenty-three named Yulia. Yulia was then married to a man named Arthur only three years prior to the daughter's birth. Although, Evalyn wasn't the only expect birth that day. Sadly, what would've been her twin brother already named Skyler, had been born a Still Birth. This was causing great pain upon Yulia, and it appeared that Evalyn had been very weak during this early stage of life.
Arthur, who is a twin himself, understood what his newly born daughter was going through. Due to himself and his sister also have a special bond that was made at birth, or something before the actual birth. Possibly within the nine or eight months of being within the mother's womb. It was a very long few weeks before Yulia and Arthur were even able to take Evalyn home, and Yulia was still healing over the loss of one child.
As Evalyn grew older, her parents quickly told her about who and what they were. Also teaching the young child that she would have to keep this secret from the other children around her, and the adults too. The parents made this as some sort of a game due to the fact she wasn't that bright at a young age, and thought many things were about playing games, and nothing else!
Although, as she got older, Evalyn came to understand better that she was part of a magical race that people known as humans, or "Muggles" did not know about. Thus, this is when her paranoid feeling around muggles started to blossom, where she feared that she may slip up even the tiniest. This paranoia had only started when she was only seven years old! Although, sadly this wasn't the only thing that was going to start when she was seven years of age..
The Avalon family had always had a small family reunion in a part of the world where not many Muggles went to, only where other magical creatures would gather for their own traditional things if they ever have one. The Avalon is a long line of pureblood Veela's, even welcoming off-spring of Wizards and Veela's who then have Half-Veelas. This allowed Evalyn to speak out among her family members that understood what she was going through at such a young age.
Many of the older teens spoke about Magical schools they were going to, where they were being trained to handle and cast magic. Along with protecting them against something known as the Dark Arts. This made Evalyn very curious about schools like this, then leading her to wonder if she would ever be invited to one of these schools (to which, of course, was sent an invite). Although, this wasn't the only eventful thing during this day. More excitement was coming that very night..
Some of the older and adults had a lot of drinks that night, and a majority of the teenagers decided to go out into the near by forests, some of the children that included Evalyn had gone with them into the forest. Many of the children were fearing about the forests, although Evalyn wasn't really scared, since she knew that some of her cousins had known magic from those Schools that they were always talking about. Thus, she felt very safe with them. Although, that safe feeling came to a stop when the small group came across one very pissed off, and recently changed werewolf during the full moon cycle. Some of the non-drunk teens decided they should try to play hero to protect the group. Sadly, Evalyn had taken off during the first attack the werewolf pulled on them.
She had raced through the forest, with some of the other children and one or two teens back to the estate where the entire Avalon family was staying. This is where the main family and found out and some of the elder (Not elderly) members had gone out to try and find their sons and daughters that had ventured out into the forest. Evalyn's parents had came to her rather quickly and kept her close throughout the night. When the Avalon family members returned, some of them were carrying the teenagers that weren't fast enough; which were still alive. Some.. were unlucky, wives were crying as they returned with blood on their clothes. This then sparked the plague of nightmares about werewolves, along with the fact of Insomnia.
After the Avalon family Reunion, and the sad nightmare that had fallen over that night, Evalyn was known to stay inside of the house once the sun had set behind the near by mountains. This worried her parents greatly, although it was only Arthur that understood what she was going through, due to the fact she had no one to speak to about this, and for the fact she had basically witnessed the very thing called Death, along with losing only recently met family members that had hurt her within her heart greatly.
A year before an Invitation had been sent out to the Avalon family for Evalyn, her parents had told her the sad fact about her what would've been, Twin brother known as Skyler. At first, she was very happy to have the feeling she wasn't an only child. Although, finding out that Still Birth had meant Skyler was born dead, caused something to happen within her heart. Evalyn had immediately apparently caused a new type of bond between herself and Skyler. It was a connection that allowed Evalyn to have a new train a thought, it was like that small voice in the back of her mind. This was Skyler who would help her make hard choices when it came down to it. Her father, Arthur had felt this connection as well because the twin gene had came from his side of the family, and very faintly form his wife's.
It wasn't until a year later did Evalyn gain the letter from the school of magic known as Hogwarts. Days before it was time for her to leave, Evalyn had been visited by her Aunt Alvara, who she had remembered seeing at the Avalon family reunion. Here is when Alvara had given her niece a very old traditional necklace that had started years and years before the family would be accepted into Hogwarts. Alvara hadn't told Yulia nor Arthur that she had placed a protection charm on the necklace in order to keep her only niece alive.
Hogwarts Years: During the first year of Hogwarts, Evalyn had been sorted into Ravenclaw/Griffindor because of the talents and persona that she carried. The sorting hat though believed that even though certain traits weren't present at the time would unfold once she was older and met more people within her years at Hogwarts. Within her, she was quite surprised to be placed within this house. Her family members had gotten mostly one of the three that she hadn't been placed into. Evalyn wondered what made her so different from past Avalon members.
The first year at Hogwarts was quite different from Evalyn to work with. With the fact she had to hide her status, even though she didn't have to, was sort of, kind of a lot of work. Due to many people wondered why she was so silent and kept to herself. Old habits died hard on her end when she was living with Muggles. Another thing that was hard on her was the fact she had insomnia, causing some of the Professors to either scold her on a daily basics, or the fact she was awake throughout the entire night during a full moon.
Evalyn had gotten through the first Year of Hogwarts without anything to really worry about. Of course she made a few more friends that she kept in touch by writing letters to them during the time off they had before the next year. Within the year she had off from Hogwarts, Evalyn started to get heavy nightmares about either the Werewolf event when she was seven years old, or a new type of dream. This dream included herself and what would've been Skyler going to Hogwarts together.
For some reason, Evalyn started to keep this a secret from her parents, Yulia and Arthur, she believed the new like bond she created with her dead brother is starting these type of dreams. Perhaps he's trying to tell her something? Maybe he isn't actually dead.. but alive? This caused a great unsettling feeling within her gut. Did either of her parents lie about the fact? Or was.. Or was Skyler alive and the hospital had pulled something?
Within the next four years, everything had gone smoothly for Evalyn, nothing great happened within either of the four years leading up to her Fifth. The nightmares about the werewolf event was becoming worse and worse, so was her Insomnia, causing her to become very light headed in between classes. Causing worry once Professors had sent word back home to Yulia and Arthur.
During the summer before going back to Hogwarts for her Fifth year, she had a very strange and real like dream. It was both her and Skyler, or what he may have appeared like at Hogwarts. It looked like a day without any classes and they were down by the waters edge. They acted as if this was the first time they had seen each other. Evalyn remembered seeing him hug her tightly, saying how they all lied, they were lying to her. Everything they had said was a lie. That he was never dead, they just wanted a daughter, not a filthy son. When she had awake from the Dream, Evalyn's relationship with mostly her mother started to fall apart. What made it worse was when she had left for the train station without letting either of her parents be aware that she was leaving. It was only a couple hours after had they noticed she had left for the train.
