Character: Evelyn Aldridge
Age: 37
Gender: Female
Occupation: Editor-in-Chief of the New York Times, Opera House Patron
Height: 5'6"
AI: Maggie Q
Appearance: Evelyn has black hair (occassionally highlighted) which can usually be found in a bun or ponytail when she is working. Her fair skin attracts the attention of many a wondering eye and the curve of her lips is said by some to be quite alluring when the occasion calls for it. Her sensuous, dark eyes aren’t quite as angled as a full-blooded Asian’s but are just as captivating and piercing. Her eyes are soft, but focused, having the ability to carefully observe, while hiding her innermost thoughts and feelings.
Had it not been for an American father, her face might have been more circular and soft, but instead her face is longer and her jaw more square and hard. Though she takes a certain pride in her appearance, she prefers modesty. She wears relatively conservative clothes and prefers the freedom and comfirt of slacks to skirts and dresses. That is not to say she is not known to sport formal dress at formal functions, however.
Personality: She is generally a quiet, semi-social individual who often prefers the company of literature or landscape to that of her friends. She has a wide circle of friends, though only a few of them actually appeal to her taste. Polite and dignified most of the time, and cruel and lashing when need be. Her countenance is calm and collected, even when her mind is not. She has a tendency to shut people away from herself mentally and emotionally. She takes things seriously if they are meant to be taken seriously, and she takes things lightly if they are meant to be taken lightly.
But even though her mind, her appearance, her entire life seems balanced, she has found herself to be quite unstable…
History: Evelyn Aldridge was born in Eugene, Oregon on January 6th, 1974. Her family was of the middle class and her childhood was comfortable, average, and simple. Her parents were Meili (called “May” for short) and Paul Acres, and her older brother is Adam Acres. They thought naming their children Adam and Eve would be quite something.
By the time she reached her teens, Evelyn had become as infatuated with books as her parents were. After pondering over the career choices of actress, artist, teacher, doctor, and scientist, she finally found her passion. Her writing exceeded that of her age and many came to respect her talent. By the age of sixteen, she was a rising star of writing. On a regular basis, she entered writing contests, submitted stories and articles and wrote for herself frequently.
But her happiness would come to a halt for a while. Two months after her sixteenth birthday, the family found out that Evelyn’s mother had breast cancer and that she had been keeping it from them. The months passed and a gloom settled over the household as she showed no signs of getting better. On the cold, bitter morning of December 18th, 1991, the house fell silent. Everyone was devastated, especially Paul. Evelyn found a rising strength within her as the weeks passed without her mother. She did most of the work and the cooking around the house with some help from her brother, but not her father. He brought home money; that was true. But when he would come home from his office in town, a deathly silence would settle over the house. Paul Aldridge was never quite the same. None of the family was.
There was nothing she or her brother could do. When she reached the age of seventeen, she decided she would not only become a writer, but would also become an editor for a publishing company. It would give her the opportunity to do what she loved and she decided that that was what her mother would expect of her.
She graduated from Princeton University, where she majored in English and minored in business. After graduation, she moved to New York City and moved through jobs with major and minor publication companies. It wasn’t too long before she became editor of the Metro section and her career took off. Being an editor for four years, she became a watched star with high potential. It seemed that with all this happiness in her life, nothing would ever go wrong again. She thought this until she got a call from her brother slowly telling her that father was dead. This threw her into a state of inner depression for weeks. Though her work remained steady and her friends suspected little, she felt miserable for days on end. During this time, she shut off all unnecessary ties with people and confined herself to her house.
It was shortly after this period, that she met Mr. Jonathan Aldridge. As coffee breaks together turned into lunches together and lunches turned into dinners together, Evelyn knew she had found the one. Friendship turned into love and love turned into marriage.
For two years, she lived in contentment with her husband and with a series of promotions that led her to the Editor-in-Chief position of the New York times. Evelyn and Jonathan were like any couple who fought and loved in healthy doses. But the happiness did not last.
Evelyn does not like to think of it very often and she tries going on with her life as if nothing ever happened, as if she never lost the man she loved, and still loves. She feels a throbbing pain within her once in a while, like a hole being drilled into the core of her heart, whenever she remembers him. It is a sick film, playing repeatedly in her head night and night again.
