She quickly proves herself to be a helpful friend and ally: when Andria struggles to adjust to her new life, Evelyn does everything she can to help make her comfortable; and instead of scolding Andria when she wants to escape the palace to attend the Whitegarden Tourney, Evelyn dresses her in peasant clothes and helps her leave in secret.

Although she is a lumin, Evelyn mainly looks like a typical peasant of Aramore: she has curly, blonde hair and big, chestnut brown eyes. Andria considers her to be slim and petite; she has a cute nose, thin cheeks, and a long face.
