Character Name: Eve Baird
Age: 43 ("448")
Canon: The Librarians
Canon point: post-412 The Echoes of Memory
History: link
Personality:

► STIFF. Eve's a pretty stiff and rigid individual, someone that grew up military and later became military herself. That rigidness is instilled in her from her years of service, and whilst Eve does know how to relax it isn't something that she does easily. She's someone that throws herself into her work, especially given that she's protecting the world, and likes things done a certain way -- she likes plans, doesn't like working spontaneously and heavily questions decisions that are being made. She'll be bossy and assertive especially when she thinks that you've got a terrible idea.

► LEADER. Leadership is something that Eve does without really thinking about it, partly from her training, mostly from bossing people around to get things done her way, but because she knows how to keep people safe. She's got a tactical mind, is observant and quick at reading a situation and uses all of the information she has to protect people: leading them safely either in combat or through a plan, making sure they all get home safe. Eve doesn't leave people behind.

► COURAGEOUS. Eve strongly believes in her skills and capabilities, drawing from all of her past training or things that she's learned to use in any situation confidently. She isn't reckless nor overconfident, more cautious in unknown situations when she needs to be, but in the face of danger Eve doesn't back down or run: she fights. Eve fights to protect herself and protect other people, using tactical retreat when it's the better option to then make a new plan.

► STUBBORN. Eve's strong will has helped her in many situations, through the horrors of war that she's seen in the line of duty, through the unusual life that magic and the Library brought to her, and through the challenges of the people that she worked with. After joining the Library it took a long time for Eve to get her team to the skill that they're at, having to train them to work together but also to be able to use more than their individual skills (whilst teaching them new skills). Eve was almost relentless in her training, wanting to make sure that they were prepared and protected. On missions, she was insistent on them having a plan, refusing to let them run off half-cocked or into danger and always making sure that they came home even if it meant putting herself in danger to drag them back. She fights for them, fights with them to make them see sense, and does everything to keep them safe.

► CARING. Whilst it isn't the first thing that you see about her, a stubborn stiffness prevailing, Eve has a big heart for the people in her life. Whilst few people ever get close to Eve, those that she works with (her team and family) are the people that she cares dearly for, saddened when something happens to them, worrying for them if they're threatened and fighting like hell to keep them safe. Eve cares enough that she's referred to her team as her kids on more than one occasion, a sort-of mother figure to them in how she loves them but also in the guidance she gives them outside of their missions. You don't choose your family, Eve would never have chosen these people, but they are her family: the people she loves, the people who know her best, and the people she'd move worlds for.

Suitability:

Eve is military raised and trained, recognises danger and fights hard to protect the world. She's travelled to alternate universes before and has seen the destruction caused, fighting to undo that damage and save the world (again). Whether or not this was her world wouldn't stop Eve from trying to protect it and the people in it: you don't leave anyone behind and you don't stop just because it's not your home, especially if she wants to get back home. Eve's also familiar with magic and weirdness and you bet she's gonna keep doing her Guardian job even if she's in the wrong universe. No apocalypse on her watch anywhere.

Powers/Abilities:

► IMMORTAL. After tethering to the Library, Eve became the Eternal Guardian making her immortal, meaning that she is unable to die and no longer needs to eat or sleep. Whilst Eve can still be hurt and feel pain, any injury will simply hurt her until it heals, with anything that should kill an ordinary being only able to hurt them.

► GUARDIAN. Whilst a Guardian is typically known as the brawn to a Librarian's brain, Guardians are more than just a bodyguard, responsible for caring for their Librarian's spiritual wellbeing as well as their physical wellbeing. Guardians need high levels of self-control to protect themselves and their Librarian against the sway of magic, and are typically known for laying down their life for their Librarian. Eve is particularly special in that she was destined to become a Guardian, seen when the Loom of Fate was unravelled and every world that she'd died in had turned out horribly. Her destiny involved a great role in altering history, something that no other Guardian has been stated to do (her life worth more than thousands of Librarian's combined).

► REALITY AWARENESS. Due to helping Santa spread the holiday spirit and having her consciousness split 'everywhere at once', Eve is able to retain her own identity and original memories when travelling to alternate universes and is able to remember changes to the timeline after it has been changed, being a little more sensitive to it now.

► COMBAT. Trained by the US military before joining the NATO Counterterrorism Agency, Eve is a skilled fighter both in hand-to-hand combat, solo or against multiple combatants, and armed combat. Whilst Eve's preferred weapon is a handgun she's familiar with multiple types of guns, handheld weapons and improvised weapons. She's also a skilled tactician, is capable of utilising the skills of those around her and using an enemy's weaknesses against them (even powerful magical beings).

► LANGUAGES. Eve speaks English and is fluent in Italian, she's also shown to have some fluency with Spanish. She's likely also picked up key phrases or some knowledge of other languages from her military service and her time around the Librarians.

Entity Affinity:

► THE EXTINCTION. Eve has seen and undergone catastrophic change before, has realised her own destiny after the Loom of Fate was cute and she travelled between alternate universes and saw the catastrophic ends that happened because of her own death. She's also seen and realised a world where the Library no longer existed, where everything was catastrophically wrong because people were not allowed to think or imagine.

Eve is afraid of losing these things, of losing what it means to be human (and even losing her own humanity now that she's immortal). She's seen worlds that have been destroyed and dearly clings to life itself and keeping things as they should be: protected and safe, saving the world and people in it. Her fear of losing it all again, of humanity itself and the world breaking or dying would be powerful for the Entity, especially if she couldn't save it.
