Born and raised in Sandpoint to a family of merchants, Evelyn grew up to be beautiful and kind. She fell in love with a travelling soldier, and went he went back home to Korvosa she went with him. She bid her family goodbye and moved across the country. Soon she was married, and as Mrs. Evelyn Dorset she tried to keep a good home, and keep her husband happy. But, working in Korvosa for King Eodred II left him angry and bitter. He started being mean to her, so she learned to defend herself. In time, King Eodred died and his wife, Queen Ileosa, took the throne.

Evelyn met the Queen by accident. She had gone to the castle to drop off a special desert she made for her husband when a different guard attacked her. Evelyn fought the man off without thinking. The Queen found this delightful! She ordered the guard killed, and inducted Evelyn to the Gray Maidens. She rushed home to tell her husband! But he was furious at her. He called her a traitor and shot her with a crossbow, right in the heart.

“The day I earned my helm, my dear husband shot me through the heart. I wish I could say his end was merciful, swift, or painless, but I understand those traits come from people who still have hearts in their chests.”

Evelyn return to work heartbroken. Not that it mattered. The Gray Maidens are broken and rebuilt into loyal soldiers through torture, and mind control. The Evelyn that came out of training was no longer recognizable as Evelyn at all. She was just… the Gray Maiden. She did horrible things.

In time Queen Ileosa was overthrown by the heroes Jaster Marandicci and Kadrix Kroft. Kadrix became the next King and disbanded the Gray Maidens. Some fled into the swamps, others to Cheliax. But Evelyn? She took off her helmet, looked in the mirror, and cried. She had no life in Korvosa. Her husband was dead, her home in shambles, and she was not welcome among the guards. She didn’t even know who she was anymore. So Evelyn went back home.

Evelyn has been in Sandpoint for two years. but she’s not the person she once was. She’s a broken echo. A parody of the girl who used to live here. Now her face is horribly scarred and although she seems to be kind, inside she’s sad and scared. She lives in fear that one day her family will betray her, or the Maiden will return to the surface and she won’t be able to put her back.

She goes by the name Echo.

Echo is a woman of average height and build, with short cut brown hair, brown eyes, and a horribly scarred face. She wears a loosely fitted dress in plain green, with a high collar, and long sleeves. She wears comfortable leather boots on her feet, and a simple cloth belt with a few belt pouches around her waist. The only extra adornment she wears is a pair of gold wedding bands, worn on a gold chain around her neck.
