Evangeline comes from the Latin word evangelium, meaning "good tidings." Evangeline is a Greek girl name, but it is mainly used in English. 
In Greek, Evangeline means "like an angel" or "good news."


nightshade |ˈnʌɪtʃeɪd|
noun
a plant related to the potato, typically having poisonous black or red berries. Several kinds of nightshade have been used in the production of herbal medicines.
●Solanum and other genera, family Solanaceae (the nightshade family): several species, including the European woody nightshade (S. dulcamara), a climber with purple flowers and red berries. The nightshade family includes many commercially important plants (potato, tomato, capsicum peppers, tobacco) as well as a number of highly poisonous ones (henbane, thorn apple). See also deadly nightshade.
ORIGIN Old English nihtscada, apparently from night + shade, probably with reference to the dark colour and poisonous properties of the berries. Compare with German Nachtschatten.

[Personality

Temper
Evangeline is an arrogant, hot headed human girl that will not hesitate to slap someone.   She is brave, bold, and reckless, but defends those she loves.
Sometimes, though, her bravery and temper make her stupid, well, for a human who’s grown up in Nienr, and she will then be vulnerable to making bad decisions.




"As the sky seemed to rise, they knew the battle that lay before them. A battle against all things good..."

Wisdom and logic
Evangeline has a sharp mind, and that skill of hers helps with her battle reflexes.

Friendship
Unlike some humans, Elva is not of the betraying kind. She can, however, sense the evil and malice of the Land of Shadow, that was her home for her life. She hated it there.

However, if she got a chance, she’d take it.

Eva, however, is a friendly and empathetic human who often tries to help others, but only when she deems wise to do so. 
She also happens to be an optimistic person and can wear a smile on her face in even the dreariest of times.


"Where there is dark; there is light. When it seems we are doomed there will be hope. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there."


[History] Evangeline’s life began in Nienr's  Land of Shadows. She was born in the drab and dirty conditions of a small village that surrounded the Dark Lord’s fortress- a place which would hold her hostage for the next thirteen years of her life. 
Her mother being dead from childbirth, infant Elva was taken by her once loving father to the wild, along with her then- 9 year old brother Ethan.
But soldiers of the Dark Lord found them and took them to their master, who eyed them in amusement before offering a place as his right hand in court to their father... 


”Hope seemed like the song of birds, too swiftly flown away...”

...But first Lawrence had to prove his worth and loyalty and went though a course of 12 years, watching his children grow up as he practiced his loyalty and devotion to their future master. 
As Evangeline grew up, she became more aware of the horrible threats the Dark Master posed to Nienr.  After a year of planning, before her 14th birthday, she decided to escape from the fortress. 
But only after trying to persuade Ethan to come. But he would hear none of it, and it was with tears in their eyes that they bade farewell to each other.



"All good things come in time."


Soon after, her father was appointed right hand of the Dark Lord. Now he lives a pampered, rich life full of malice, greed and power.
                                         
"Nightshade kills.
But shades of the night,
Can revive you.

Character {Book}

So I've recently had this new hobby. It's basically making characters, but not just inventing them and knowing them by their names. I use a self created template to make these characters, include their personality, history, family... It's a lot of fun so don't be surprised if a new character pops up every week or so!
Some may be characters from a book such as the Lord of the Rings, or Narnia... and so on. Mostly because I can't think of a made up one.
Please though, if you're reading through them, they can't be used because they do belong to me. Apart from the ones from books. I mainly use these characters for my stories, so I'd appreciate it if the no-copy rule is still on here.
But it might get boring, so don't worry I'll probably squish in some writing prompts and stuff too in between posts.

- Cheers, Sarah
