Evie Gilbert

Evelyn (Evie) Jane Gilbert

Wand: Pear and Unicorn Hair, 9 inches

Wand Wood Description: The golden-toned wood of pear produces wands of magnificent magical powers. Possessors of pear wands are popular and well-respected and do not match with a Dark witch or wizard. “Pear wands are among the most resilient, and it is noted that they may still present a remarkable appearance of newness, even after many years of hard use.” The perfect owner of this wand is a small owner with a big temper.


Appearance: Evie has hazel eyes lightly flecked with traces of gold and when she looks into the sun they almost look green. She has subtle red hair that falls past her shoulders without waves and pale alabaster skin. She is very small in height and physique. She likes to wear a variety of things from jeans and sweaters to dresses and tights, whichever she feels like putting on that morning. She keeps her makeup light, wearing only mascara on her lashes. She is very self-conscious about her small height and body type because it makes her weak.

Personality: Despite her rough past, Evie is generally a very happy person. She loves her life now that she’s away from her parents and she enjoys working at the bookstore. She is extremely optimistic and likes to see the good in everyone even when it’s not there. Evie is very sweet and polite and she takes pride in her work. She is compassionate about everyone and would never think to hurt somebody, although she can have quite a temper when provoked enough. Unfortunately, Evie is also extremely naïve and vulnerable, making her weak compared to others. She avoids any type of confrontation, knowing that because of her size she would just give in eventually.

What He/She Loves: The smell of old books, her cat – Coby, living in London, her brother - she is incredibly thankful that he was there for her when she was younger, to teach her the things that her parents didn't allow her to have.

What He/She Hates: Being too small, laziness, being ignored

History: Evie’s parents met at St. Mungo’s. Her father, Matteus Gilbert worked as a Healer on the fourth floor and specialized in spell damage related injuries. Her mother, Fiona Travers started working at the hospital two years after Matteus in the Janus Thickey Ward dealing specifically with long-term residents who had permanent or long-lasting spell damage. They dated steadily for about five years before finally deciding to get married. After three years of marriage, Fiona gave birth to their first child, Evie’s older brother, Simon. They had Evie two years later unexpectedly. Matteus and Fiona only planned on having one child but when Fiona became pregnant, they knew they couldn’t get rid of the child. Evelyn Jane was born nine months later in France and raised there until she was five when her parents finally decided it would be easier to live in London and be closer to work at the hospital. They bought a large mansion just on the outskirts of the city.

Matteus and Fiona were very strict parents. Their children were kept on a tight schedule every day and weren’t allowed to deviate from said schedule in any way. If they did, they would be punished in a variety of ways by their father. Simon and Evie were only allowed about twenty minutes of playtime a day which wasn’t enough for children. Simon was allowed more freedom than Evie. He was the favorite child, always getting praised for completing his chores while Evie only got a pat on the shoulder and that was all. Evie tried desperately to get her parent’s attention but they were too focused on her brother to ever take notice to her. They didn’t allow her to go to primary school and instead forced her to stay home and complete Simon’s chores while he was away at school. Eventually, Evie began to resent her parents at a young age and it continued throughout her life, her parents never showing her the type of affection that they should have.

Simon often snuck into Evie’s room after their parents went to bed and told her stories about school and his friends. He taught her how to read and write and became a teacher to her. He didn’t mean for Evie to get the short end of the stick and he resented his parents for alienating his sister. Evie loved her brother and looked up to him and was devastated when he went away to Durmstrang, leaving her at home with her parents. She received her acceptance to Beauxbatons two years later. Even though she wouldn’t be with her brother, she was more than happy to go away and leave her parents behind.

As soon as she graduated from school, Evie moved out of her parent’s house to London, getting a job at the bookstore Flourish and Blotts in Diagon Alley. Luckily, she had a small inheritance from her family that she received once she left school and she used this small amount of money to rent her own flat in the heart of London, where she currently resides. Her brother works at the Ministry and also lives in London and she sees him often.
