CHaracter intro 3: Evany Rae

Meet Evany Rae
​Some people inherit greatness.
Evany Rae tries to build it.

Evany Rae is the older twin sister of Emma Rae and one of the central protagonists of Evany Starr & Midnight Penn: STARRFALL. Resourceful, fiercely protective, and endlessly determined, she's an engineering prodigy who believes every problem has a solution - you just haven't built it yet.
Growing up as an orphan in New Verance wasn't easy, but Evany refused to let circumstance define her. Alongside Emma, she found purpose both in the city's orphan baseball league and as a standout player for the Red Owls Ball Club, where her competitive spirit and quick instincts made her just as comfortable swinging a bat as she was taking apart a machine.

When life demanded more than baseball could offer, the twins found themselves surviving inside New Verance's underground Coda network. Working under Ledger, one of the city's Broker Delegates working for the Chantry, Evany learned to navigate black-market engineering spaces where damaged technology was stripped down, rebuilt, and repurposed. While others repaired machines, Evany quietly taught herself how to create them.
Hidden away inside one of those Coda engineering labs, she built her most ambitious project:
S.T.A.R.R. The Stabilized Twin-Chamber Active Reactive Rod.

Originally conceived as the centerpiece of an entirely new competitive sport, STARR was never intended to be a weapon. It was a demonstration of engineering, precision, and imagination—a vision Evany hoped would earn her a place within the prestigious Inventors Guild of New Verance.
She submitted her designs. Presented her prototype. And was rejected.

For most people, that would have been the end of the story.
For Evany... it was only the beginning.

As events beyond her control begin pulling the sisters into a much larger mystery, the invention she once dreamed would change sports may become the very thing that helps protect the people she loves most. Everything changes the day Evany and Emma cross paths with the mysterious relic curator known as Midnight Penn. Neither of them realizes it yet... but that meeting will alter the course of all three of their lives.

"It wasn't supposed to be a weapon. It was supposed to be a game."
