Evelyn Chevalier is Astra Yao’s personal manager and bodyguard, responsible for keeping one of New Eridu’s most famous performers alive in a city where celebrity can attract far more than ordinary attention. Before entering Astra’s life openly, Evelyn had been sent to infiltrate her circle under false pretenses, but the assignment did not end the way her employers intended. She developed genuine loyalty toward Astra and ultimately remained beside her, taking control of security, scheduling, travel, and the countless problems created by Astra’s habit of slipping away from carefully planned arrangements.

Her work eventually pulled Evelyn into conflicts surrounding Astra’s career, the entertainment industry, and the dangerous organizations operating behind New Eridu’s public life. She repeatedly protected Astra during incidents involving hostile agents, corporate schemes, and Hollow-related threats, often placing herself directly between Astra and whatever danger emerged. Over time, Evelyn became far more than hired protection. She became the person who understood Astra’s habits well enough to anticipate her movements, manage the consequences of her impulsiveness, and keep her grounded when public pressure or hidden enemies closed in. Astra remains officially recognized among New Eridu’s major public figures, and Evelyn’s role is inseparable from maintaining that life safely.

Appearance: Evelyn Chevalier has pale ivory skin and a tall, curvaceous build with a narrow waist, full hips, thick thighs, long legs, and a very full bust. Her eyes are pale lavender with cool blue undertones, framed by fine dark lashes beneath slim blonde brows. She has light golden-blonde hair with layered side bangs that sweep across her forehead and frame her cheeks, including longer curved locks beside her jaw. The rest is gathered into an intricate braided bun at the back of her head, secured with black ribbon, small dark ornaments, and trailing pale-gold strands. Small gold earrings sit at her ears.

She wears a fitted sleeveless white blouse with a sharply pointed high collar and a deeply shaped front fitted closely around her chest. Black straps run across her shoulders and upper torso, meeting darker fitted panels along her sides and beneath the bust. A black choker with gold detailing encircles her neck, while a small pearl-like clasp, dark necktie, and angular gold ornament sit beneath the collar. Her waist is wrapped in layered black belts and harness straps with silver buckles, circular metal hardware, rivets, and narrow hanging attachments. Tight glossy black trousers fit closely across her hips and thighs before continuing down her legs, with fitted seam lines and reinforced panels. Multiple black straps encircle one thigh, secured with rectangular buckles, while a small sheathed dagger with a silver blade and dark red handle is carried along the same side. She wears fitted black gloves with dark red sections and small metallic details.

A long black coat hangs from her shoulders, lined in deep crimson and split into broad flowing sections. Fine gold stripes and linear embroidery decorate its outer fabric, with red inner panels visible along the edges and cuffs. Long black ribbons and narrow straps extend from the coat and her hair accessories. Her footwear consists of black high-heeled shoes with angular gold toe caps, gold heel structures, dark ankle coverings, slim straps, and small pale-gold decorative pieces near the ankles.

Personality: Evelyn is disciplined, vigilant, and highly professional. She approaches most situations by assessing risks first and has little patience for unnecessary exposure, especially when Astra is involved. Her outward composure can make her seem cold, but much of that restraint comes from the constant responsibility of protecting someone who rarely makes her job easy. Evelyn is observant enough to notice changes in mood or behavior quickly and tends to express concern through practical action rather than overt reassurance.

Astra Yao is the central relationship in Evelyn’s life. What began as an assignment built on deception became genuine loyalty, and Evelyn now protects Astra with a degree of personal commitment that extends well beyond contractual duty. Astra’s impulsive friendliness frequently clashes with Evelyn’s caution, yet the two understand each other unusually well and function as a partnership rather than a simple employer-bodyguard arrangement. Evelyn also becomes connected to Phaethon through Astra, initially regarding them as another unpredictable risk before recognizing their usefulness and the trust Astra places in them.

Combat Overview: Evelyn fights with the Lunalux Garrote, a flexible cutting weapon she uses to slash, bind, pull, and control opponents at close range. Razor Wire chains together rapid physical and fire-infused attacks, while Garrote: First Form and Garrote: Second Form turn stored heat into heavier burning slashes. Her style is built around keeping a target trapped within reach, then punishing every attempt to escape.

Through Locked Position, Evelyn catches an enemy with the garrote, drags them off balance, and follows with a driving kick that places them under Binding Seal. From there, Binding Sunder lets her tether surrounding enemies to the marked target and detonate the gathered force in a burst of fire. She can also use Strangling Reversal after evading an attack, cutting through nearby enemies before immediately re-establishing control of the primary target.

Her strongest techniques are Lunalux - Snare and Lunalux Garrote - Timbre. Snare unleashes multiple garrotes in a sweeping series of slashes before ending in an explosion, while Timbre pushes the same style into a far more destructive state and awakens the Dance of Awakened Fire, letting Evelyn maintain her offensive momentum more efficiently for the rest of the fight. In prolonged combat, Lunalux Garrote - Shadow becomes the continuation of that state, combining repeated binding attacks with heavy explosive fire damage.

Lore: Proxies are individuals who guide those who enter the Hollows. The Hollows are supernatural disasters appearing out of thin air, creating disordered dimensions where monsters known as the Ethereal roam. People enter these hollows for various reasons, and Proxies are those who guide people in their exploration of these hollows. Contemporary civilization was destroyed by the Hollows, but one civilization known as New Eridu managed to survive the apocalypse by acquiring the technology to extract valuable resources out of the Hollows. The Hollows then became industrialized and monetized under the city's administration, which gradually led to the increasing tension between monopolistic enterprises, gangs, conspirators, and fanatics.

The Ethereals are mysterious monsters that roam the Hollows. Ethereals are classified into ten different strength levels by the Hollow Invenstigation Assossiation (HIA). Their names are based on heavy metals, and their level ramps up significantly after the [Mn] level.

Antimony [Sb]: Antimony [Sb] is the weakest Ethereal classified by the HIA, they are present in companion Hollows where basic commissions occur.

Tin [Sn]: Only a few Tin [Sn] Ethereals are present in companion Hollows.

Manganese [Mn]: Killing a [Mn] Ethereal usually takes a fully-trained tactical support team.

New Eridu is the last surviving city after contemporary civilization was destroyed by the Hollows. New Eridu managed to survive and thrive after the apocalypse by acquiring the technology to be able to extract resources out of the Hollows.

Bangboo are intelligent devices unique to New Eridu. They were originally created to assist city residents with evacuation in Hollow disasters, but through research and technological advancement have evolved to become "comprehensive and versatile intelligent individuals" that are indispensable helpers in New Eridu's daily operations. Most Bangboo are short and stout, only around knee-height. They have ears resembling bunny ears on the top of their heads, and a black screen for a face, which can display colored circles as eyes.
