Biography (TW: death):

Genevieve Young doesn't remember being anyone but Genevieve Young -- but once upon a time, she was Genevieve Han. The youngest of two from South Korea, with parents who only ever strove to give their children the life they deserved. And they were on track to do just that, embarking on a new life in America shortly after Eve turned six.

However, their dreams of a brighter future were cut short when a devastating car accident claimed their lives, leaving Genevieve and her older brother, Roman, as the sole survivors. Was it a miracle? Of course it was, but it also meant that the Han siblings were forced to navigate this new world alone. Alone and apart, as they were quickly separated by the state and placed in foster care.

Not for long in Eve's case, however. The young girl found herself embraced by the Youngs, a compassionate elderly couple in their sixties who strove to give the little girl some light at the end of this seemingly never-ending, dark tunnel. She was welcomed into their home in Tonopah Valley, experiencing the warmth and care she needed -- and life was good. Eve was a well-behaved little girl, smart and funny and desperate to prove that she deserved the love she was so freely given.

However, once school began, struggled to fit in socially, always unsure of her place and where she belonged in the world. It didn't help that she was unrelentingly curious about her biological family, about the older brother that she vaguely remembered having. Of course, the adoption was closed, so not even her adoptive parents could give her the answers she desired, so after years of research and wondering and hoping the answers might come to her, she gave up. Eve resigned herself to thinking that perhaps he had died, too, along with their parents. Although she is still unable to recall the memory in detail, it continues to haunt her dreams, her actions.

Eve’s adoptive parents nurtured her through a variety of interests, encouraging her to explore different passions. She danced, played chess, and learned the piano, but it was horse riding that captured her heart. From the first time she mounted a horse, Eve discovered a profound sense of freedom and belonging. Her weekends and after-school hours were spent at local ranches. It was the one place she felt she could thrive, felt she belonged.

As she entered adulthood, Eve decided to choose a more practical path, studying Biomedical Engineering at a local university. She landed a stable job at a hospital, settling into a life that seemed secure and predictable, hoping that it would bring her a sense of inner peace she so desperately desired. However, her world was once again shaken when she lost her adoptive parents in quick succession—her father to cancer and her mother to the weight of grief and old age. The pain of their loss was compounded by the actions of a much older adoptive sibling, her parents only biological child, who ensured that Eve received practically nothing but a modest inheritance, leaving her with a small trust fund and a sense of profound isolation.

Determined to find her own path and make the most of her life, Eve decided to leave her engineering job and follow her true passion. She transitioned to a career as a horse trainer, a role that allowed her to reconnect with the joy she had found in her youth. Not long into the job she discovered the ranch's ties to the Hellraisers, but for one reason or another it didn't phase her -- after all, what more did she have to lose? She used the little money she got from her parents to put a down payment on house -- a fixer upper, no less -- in an attempt to move forward with her life.

Though mostly content, there's storm constantly brewing within Eve, one that remains alone, unsatisfied, that years for the family she never got to have. Alas, she can't allow herself to wish, to hold on to hope. After all these years, Eve isn't sure if she can handle the disappointment, one that would force her to face the facts once more: that aside from her friends, she's truly all she has left in this world.

Headcanons: 

For her thirtieth birthday, Eve purchased a horse of her own named Honey from Decker Ranch, one that she'd trained as a young foal. She often uses her for lessons, and loves being able to spend so much time by her side during the work day.

One of Eve's duties on the ranch is to oversee shipments that come in for the Hellraisers, essentially making sure everything is accounted for and where it needs to be safely tucked away in one of the barns. Though she's fully aware of the type of cargo being brought in and shipped out, she keeps a pretty 'don't ask, don't tell' attitude so that she can have as much plausible deniability as possible.

The condo she purchased is a TRUE fixer-upper. Like, she purchased it over six years ago and it still needs a lot of work, much of it she does herself. A true DIY queen, she'll work at something to death and then some before she even thinks about calling in the experts. Which, admittedly, she should do more often.

She's kind, but she can be very pessimistic, a bit prickly. A lot of that is born out of her own insecurities, though, and she's not too hard to befriend if people are patient. Also a huge know it all and not always in the charming way!

Eve has tried to quit smoking 6 times and will constantly tell everyone she's quitting but it never happens so
