hihooo. evie is as her lil summary journal-side reads :< but here are some thoughts/notes abt the timeline
she first arrived at skool in 2014, when she was 16 years old and had just gained a ton of attention online. her first few months were a little messy as she adjusted to huge life changes on multiple fronts, including her parents functionally ghosting her.
2015/dancin in the dark -- evie's first big ~mission. she has a romeo & juliet moment with one of the morlock teens and Weeps a lot about it after the groups disengage. there is an entire EP of ballads written abt this emotional experience. it's just not fair!!!!!! this world is so cruel and she will never love again, etc.
2016, 2017 tbd
2018/wildways -- evie learns to form constructs in mojoworld, marking a level up in her powers (and audience rating).
2019/days of future past -- following these events, evie is one of the louder proponents for "going public." she is already lowkey publicly known as a mutant and feels that she is constantly putting her ~art and her ~life "on the line" for mutant rights. activism becomes a visible part of her brand. in true youthful fashion, evie gets into several fights with other x-men during this period, convinced as she is of her own righteousness.
2020/god loves, man kills -- working closely with erik lehnsherr disavows her of this completely. (i think maybe this is also the year that vampires take over san francisco. was it san francisco? idk)
2021/ still, evie is thrilled when the team FINALLY does the right thing and goes public. she colorfully campaigns to draw new students to the school. who wouldn't want to learn to dance in DAZZLER'S class?
2022/ evie's public (and extremely dramatic) condemnation of the MRA invites negative press attention (flavor: what does evelyn free have against public safety? ++ grasping manipulative female narrative). she can't help but feel personally triggered by the amount of scrutiny in the bill AND in the media. this is her first true ~scandal, and while she feels she's done the right thing for mutant kind, her persona as a performer changes its balance: less of a quirky pop princess type, more of a DJ and experimental ~artiste. her fan base changes too. "Sparks" "light up the night" with various mischief. it's cool! also, she is blamed for many of the stupider things they do.
2023/x-tinction agenda -- evie remains on genosha to assist with island recovery. though she has thought of her time with erik lehnsherr somewhat negatively over the years, he is very kind to her now and she develops something of a soft spot for him, the Acolytes, and their approach to fixing up the mess. hmm. weird. in the summer of 2024 she surprise-releases a concept album about a group of philosopher monks rebuilding a post-war alien society. it does really well on the club circuit for some reason, and critics are fascinated at the change from her earlier work.
2024/ evie returns to the institute for christmas. it IS a somber holiday, and strange. she spends a lot of time at xavier's bedside, creating loops out of medbay noise samples and singing to him. 2025/ evie's marking appears in the center of her chest, to her great dismay.
i'd like to weave a bit about her criminal parents in there but i have not the brain at this time :<
edit: also, i think she has a manager and a press team who are all young mutants too
