Evangeline is sensitive to sound and is easily irritated by small sounds. She cannot stand listening to people eat and will choose to eat alone if she can, however alcohol can make the situation easier to tolerate. She will find tapping, tutting or clicking irritating and will call out the person doing so.

Evangeline is very strong, stubborn, and determined. Often, she will react first and ask questions later. She will do anything to survive. She has trained with both Taren and Thedamaine, sharpening her skills in hand-to-hand combat, sword fighting, self-defence and strategy, Her natural instinct to protect herself physically has saved her life several times but has warped her views on morality and blurred the line between self-defence and murder.

Despite being self-centred and self-reliant, she does have some good qualities. She wishes to protect those she loves, trying to convince Felicity to do some combat training and providing her with her own suit of armour and weapons. Even though she despises Morana and Vesna, she also provides them with weapons to better protect themselves from the Beast.

She does wish to do some real good in her community and for her people. She hides with Taren in his forge to live life like her people do, despite being attacked herself. She tries to see the world through her people’s eyes, seeing and feeling the struggles that they must deal with. She tries to convince her father to do more to help them, with little success, however when she becomes Lady Regent in his absence, she increases the safety measures, guard patrols and contingency plans for the coming attacks. She also designs a fix to an annual issue with the poorer community housing, providing temporary housing in the mean-time. Lastly, she rewards a long serving household staff member with significant funds to retire.

She is also rather intelligent and able to read people and understand their motives. She can always tell who she can joke around with, terrorise or remain formal with. For example, she liked to make Penlyn Forrester uneasy by pretending to be offended at his words, making him sweat and scramble for the right words. Alternatively, she knew immediately that Duke Forrester needed a formal, yet firm presence to keep him at arms length. She also knew that violence would not be affective against him, refusing to let herself get riled up or allowing Sir Thedamaine to draw his weapon.

In Part Two, it is shown that she is lost, both physically but especially mentally. She is in constant war with herself, unable to decide what she wants or what she feels. Her mental state begins to deteriorate and she barely sleeps, eats or drinks. Afraid she is becoming as unstable as her mother, her nerves begin to shatter and she starts to hear voices, see hallucinations and loses the ability to control herself in high emotional settings.

Evangeline suffers from PTSD from her attacks and assault in Part One. This includes frequent nightmares and night terrors of those she killed and tried to kill her, avoidance of others/isolation, irritability, and favouring the sound of the sea or the night sky over human contact.
