EVIANA’S STORY

Everything Eviana has in life, she has worked for. And she has worked incredibly hard for it, too. Born to Maribel Lopez and Pedro González, Eviana was raised from the age of two by her mother, her Mexico born father having been deported. It seemed that Maribel could not hold down a relationship from then on, nor a job for that matter. Their family seemed to grow, their limited amount of money decreasing in the process, and the Lopez’s barely just scraped by. Eva and her sisters would share clothes, but they were never new. They were from the town’s closest thrift store, but considering the poor neighborhood in which they resided, that was nothing out of the ordinary. Fortunately, Eva was never very materialistic, and was simply grateful for everything she was given.

It’s safe to say that the eldest Lopez children essentially raised those that came after them. Maribel worked long hours at minimum wage jobs; having no qualifications and speaking minimal English, that was all she could manage to get, which meant the triplets were in charge of taking care of everyone back home. Eva didn’t mind it one bit. In fact, she actually kind of liked the responsibility. It wasn’t like they were left home alone entirely, their grandmother was usually there to watch over things, but her version of babysitting usually meant sitting in front of the small television set and yelling obscenities at telenovelas. Though, it wasn’t like the older woman was useless; she taught Eva how to cook, how to sew, and was the person responsible for the backbone she has today.

Amidst everything, Eviana was only eight years old when she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. To begin with, Maribel had assumed her daughter just had a lot of energy. Maybe she had ADHD, something she was tested for, but apparently that wasn’t it. Eva didn’t sleep at night, she’d constantly be up, making noise by banging her hands on her toys and making her own beats. She’d talk about weird things that eight year olds shouldn’t talk about; darkness and death didn’t scare her, she looked at it positively. Sometimes, she’d keep entirely to herself for days at a time, seeming withdrawn, then she’d be bouncing off the walls again a few days later. The diagnosis, while scary, gave her mother and grandmother the answers they’d been looking for, and despite the financial burden of medication, they simply adjusted, and Eva continued to thrive.

Her love for making beats using her toys as if they were her own little drums was not just a way to relieve her energy. In fact, Eva had a knack for making some pretty awesome sounding lyric-less music. She had always loved music, but the words didn’t matter much to her. What she did enjoy was the tune in the background, listening to the different instruments used and hearing the way they were all meshed together to make something beautiful. Eva found her true passion at a birthday dance party during her teens. With wide eyes, she watched the DJ working his magic while her friends talked and danced, with Eva eventually floating towards him and begging him to let her try out his decks for herself. Impressed with her natural skill, he gave her the number for a teens DJ workshop, where Eva’s natural talent shone.

To be able to add to the family’s small income, and to be able to afford to keep attending the workshops and invest in equipment, Eviana got herself a job at the earliest possible opportunity. It was just as a waitress at a roller diner the next town over, and Eva had to take two buses there and back for each shift, but she didn’t mind. Her friendly, positive attitude made her perfect for a customer service job, and she was able to easily make tips. It wasn’t like she was rolling in money, but she made enough to be able to contribute to the household fund and to save a little bit each paycheck, too. Eviana was soon able to afford her own secondhand equipment, her decks becoming the source of all of her musical magic from there on out.

College was never something that Maribel would be able to pay for, but it was something Eviana wanted to do. She was anything but ashamed of her mother, and was proud of all of the hard work she put into trying to keep their family afloat all by herself, but Eva was terrified of ending up in her situation. The idea of having no qualifications and working minimum wage jobs for the rest of her life, and never getting out of the financial crisis she had grown up in, it was enough to make her feel sick, so Eviana worked her butt off in school, and earned her place at Blackwater’s community college, where she studied Music Production. In state tuition, and the fact that it was a community college, made the fees a little more manageable, but Eva continued to work alongside classes regardless, eventually scoring gigs in nightclubs where she could play her sets.

As Eviana’s status within the DJ community grew, she began booking shows throughout the country, which meant traveling out of state and paying to do so herself. Plane tickets were not cheap, neither was gas money if she wanted to try to drive her beat up old car across the country, so Eva needed another source of income. She didn’t know how she’d wound up there, but in the pursuit of more money that would hopefully lead to her finally opening her own store, Eviana found herself on a site that promised to pay a lot. All she had to do was sit in front of a webcam in the privacy of her own room, take off her clothes and do whatever paying customers wanted of her. Despite Eva having no issues with her body, it was kind of weird to begin with, but she quickly eased into it, and now she honestly doesn’t even mind it.

With the means to travel further, among the DJ world, eventually people begun to recognize Eva’s name. She didn’t use the title ‘DJ,’ nor did she have any special DJ name, she simply referred to herself as Eviana, and that was enough for other DJ’s to know who she was. She wasn’t famous by any means, of course - it’s a very small community, but Eva was definitely in her element. She began to book gigs further away from Arizona, eventually moving to a tiny apartment in California where her popularity was its highest. Eva felt she’d truly hit her peak when she was playing a sold out show in Los Angeles alongside other big names in the DJ community. She remembers looking out over the crowd and honestly feeling pretty emotional. It was when she truly knew she’d made it.

Her skills continued to grow, she continued to book gigs throughout the country, and would travel home to see her mother and siblings whenever she had the chance, always sending money from her paychecks, and it was honestly just a pretty perfect dynamic. Nearing the age of thirty, though, Eva began to notice a pattern. She would fly somewhere, play a killer show, then she’d fly back to her tiny apartment alone. Truthfully, Eva rarely spent the night alone, she would usually hook up with someone whether at her place or in various hotels on her travels, one time even building what seemed to be a real connection with someone until she found out the other woman was in a relationship. It all became a little repetitive, though, and Eva was ready for a little something new.

With the lease almost up for her shoebox, it was almost like the people in charge of advertising for The Kingdom had read her mind. Filled with drive and motivation, Eva loved the sound of working on the ship. There was no actual job opening for a DJ on board, but Eva is a persuasive individual, and a phone call with the big guns at The Kingdom had them offering her a job as a DJ for the guest nightclub and for parties on the main deck. Evie jumped at the chance, but because she knew it wouldn’t be constant work, she decided to keep up her cam work, the only problem being that she’ll have to find somewhere private to do it. The two jobs and the change of scenery means variety, though, and that’s something Eva wants. No, it’s something Eva needs.

THE LOPEZ FAMILY BACKGROUND

The Lopez family are not rich, and in fact grew up in one of the poorest towns in America. Maribel, whose second language is English, always struggled to find stable work with no qualifications and a very basic understanding of the English language, and never managed to hold down a relationship despite having a few sexual partners. This resulted in her becoming the single mother to seven children; two of which, Stanley Jr. and Leah, are in high school, while Javier is in his senior year of college. The eldest four are moved out of the family home and are living their own lives.
