Past Life
At the start of the Diviners series Evie lives in Zenith, Ohio. She was known as a wild child and a party girl and was frequently frowned upon by the small minded people living there. During a party, Evie tries to reveal her powers but it comes off as something of a party trick. She had asked one of the people there, Harold Brody; the towns Golden Boy, to have an item of his so she can read it. Harold gave Evie a ring, and she had concentrated her power on it, only to discover Harold had cheated on his fiancee with a housemaid and gotten her pregnant. After spilling that secret to everyone, her two friends had carried Evie out the party due to the splitting headaches that usually accompanied the object reading as well as a little alcohol. The morning after, her parents had decided to ship her to New York to live with her Uncle William Fitzgerald at the Museum. Evie was deeply excited about the prospect of going to New York, starting a new life, though she didn’t let it show as then her parents would not let her go for it would not be a punishment.

After packing her bags and boarding the train to New York, Evie was on her way. On the train she shows her smarts and wins $20 from gambling with the trains attendants which she later looses to Sam Lloyd.
