Newly arrived at Summerwood University, investigations into Eva reveal little in the way of a background, beyond records that she moved from Iceland to study just before semester commenced. There's a reason for this; In fact, Eva is a newly-created prototype bio-mechanical lifeform, created as a new approach to artificial intelligence integrating biological and synthetic techniques as a secret collaborative project into between a number of researchers across faculties at the university. Wanting to test their creation, and to provide more data for her to emulate, she has been enrolled as a student at the university.
Eva is exceptionally good at recalling facts and mathematical tasks. She is less good, however, at negotiating social situations and at creative tasks. Her creators want to see whether she has the capacity to develop these skills. For this reason, she has been enrolled primarily in creative arts type subjects (music, art, etc.).
Eva is unfamiliar with social customs and often displays a lack of understanding of well-understood social mores, especially those surrounding emotions and relationships. She often takes people at their worshippers and interprets words somewhat literally. Eva doesn't realise she's different from everyone else... She knows she has to go and be examined by her 'fathers' and mother once a month and that she's a bio-synthetic life form. She just doesn't know what the difference is between that and other people (except in an abstract way).. She has been instructed not to talk about that though, although she doesn't know why (and doesn't question it).
