Evelyne Ryan is the daughter of Owen Ryan and the adoptive daughter of James Zimbardo and Eloise Cortez. She is a Chosen of Gaia and the current leader of the Keepers. She was born on January 15 1987 in Atlanta.

Early Life
Evelyne grew up in foster care, not knowing the identity of her parents. At an early age, she was arrested for minor thefts, trashing a bus shelter and she was kicked out of her school due to violent behavior.

A Dysfunctional Family
Evelyne was adopted at the age of 17 by Eloise Cortez and James Zimbardo just as she was about to leave foster care. Initialy she refused to live with her new parents, but her relationship with Eloise soon improved.

In the years that followed, Evelyne became more and more unhappy with the situation at home and distanced herself from her parents whenever they got in a fight. In 2007, after her parents broke up, Evelyne went to live with Eloise in London.
