Age/Appearance: Eva Peron died at the age of 33. She is petite and slim, a bottle blond, and holds herself with a regal air. She wasn't born into money, so she has taken extra care with the way she carries herself. She wants to look rich and important. She is always impeccably styled, with perfectly coiffed hair, carefully chosen clothing, and she wouldn't ever dare leave the house without makeup. She wants to be a person who commands the attention of a room, and so she usually is.
Fandom/Canon Character or Original Character: Fandom is the musical "Evita" by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Why would your character be chosen? Evita Peron has many distinguishing talents, but above all else, she is a highly determined woman. She was able to rise from poverty to become the most famous woman in Argentina. She gets what she wants.

3. Fandom/Canon Character Information
History: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evita_Peron
Personality: Evita Peron came from poverty. Her main driving force, since she was young, has been to rise to a powerful position. As a child, she wasn't allowed to attend her father's funeral, because her mother had been the man's mistress. It is implied that this event is the catalyst that sends her into her upward climb to power. That drive stayed with her throughout her life, and she was never without a goal to meet, ambition to follow, a project to complete.

Evita is charming, charismatic, and well-spoken. She is also incredibly savvy, and knows how to get what she wants. She is willing to use other people as pawns to meet her goals, and she is a firm believer in the end justifying the means. Despite a lack of formal education, Evita is very intelligent and is interested in the world of politics. She has a sharp eye and a keen ear and is very good at paying attention to what's going on around her. Because of this, she has been able to insert herself into various situations that have helped her on her rise to glory. She went from modeling to acting to the girlfriend of a military officer to the first lady of Argentina.

Even as first lady, her drive to have more kept her going. She wanted everything, and once she had it, she still wasn't content. This is perfectly exemplified by the lyrics in High Flying, Adored: "You won't care if they love you, it's been done before. You'll despair if they hate you, you'll be drained of all energy."

Even when she finds out that she is dying, she doesn't slow down. Eva still has projects she wants to meet, is still convinced she will get better and accomplish great things and it isn't until she lies on her death bed that she finally admits that perhaps it was her own choices that drove her to her grave, with lyrics to her Lament such as "I could burn with the splendor of the brightest fire/Or else, or else I could choose time" and "And how I lived, how they shone/But how soon the lights were gone."


Powers: No powers, beyond her extraordinary drive and charisma.
Reason for playing: I am interested in playing Evita Peron because she is a perfect example of the phrase "Shades of Gray." She was not a perfect woman, and she was not above using other people to get what she wanted. However, it is undeniable that she did a lot of good for the lower classes, whom she generally cared about. She was driven and determined and charismatic, and I think she would enjoy discovering more about the politics of Dagaz. She is not a character who would sit around and wait for things to happen to her, she will make them happen for herself.

5. Samples
First-Person: (5-10 sentences) People of Dagaz, I urge you to join with me in this fight against our captors. We have been brought here against our wills and it is not only our right to know more information, but it is their duty to tell us. Together, we can join and fight against their tyranny and oppression.

We know they have secrets. If there were none, they would let us out of this building, would allow us to leave and explore and discover where it is that we are held. We, the people, demand answers and together, we shall have them.
Third-Person: (200 words minimum) Eva remembered dying.

She had been in bed, surrounded by a cloud of mourning faces, clothed in black. Now she--was elsewhere. Sitting on marble, cold and stark, alone. Wearing the white nightgown she had been sure she would die in. One of her last thoughts had been that she wished she'd worn the blue nightgown instead. It would have been more dramatic against the white sheets of the bed.

How had she ended up here? Maybe she was dreaming. They'd been giving her so many pills, so many herbal remedies--and she was grateful to be asleep, if that's what this was. For the first time in weeks, she wasn't overwhelmed with the pain of it. And she couldn't remember the last time she had been alone. Someone had always been nearby, watching her, someone close enough at all times that she could never take off her mask of courage.

Whether or not this was a dream, she wanted to know where she was. She began to stand, but a sudden dizzy spell hit her and she fell back down. No, she could lie here for a moment. No one was around to see.

But someone was. That someone was tall, blond, and he was clearing his throat.
