Personal History
Evelyn Mayfe Orr was born to parents Maria Fernanda and Ewan Orr of Saskatoon, Sk in the summer of '77.

She has two older brothers, Seamus and Gavin, and a younger sister, Trixie.

Her mother was born and raised in Quito, Ecuador, immigrating to Canada in 1969. She met Ewan, a Welsh immigrant, at the cultural center in Saskatoon. They were married in 1972 and had their first child in '73.

Evelyn was a slightly above par student all through her school career. Nothing spectacular, but she definitely wasn't an idiot. She graduated high school third in her class and, to the despair of her teachers and pride of her parents, she joined the Canadian Armed Forces.

Despite the stigma of being a female in the military, the lack of respect from male co-workers and physical hardships involved with being a bosun, she thrived. However, due to certain incidents - fist fights, insubordination, etc - she wasn't able to rank any higher than MCpl. Not that she really wanted to go any higher either, though. One more promotion and she was stuck to a desk for the rest of her career.

Evelyn had several encounters with the arcane institution, Torchwood, before she was eventually 'recruited' into their flocks. She served as a member of the clean-up crew for Torchwood's central offices before they were abandoned, then with Torchwood team 24 in her home province of Saskatchewan.

She remained there for three years before she was transferred to Torchwood Ten in Wales.

Her siblings have all married now, and have several children. Seamus, an accountant, has four children: Dawn, Maria, Owen and Isabella.

Gavin, a restaurant manager, had two: Simon and Jack.

And Trixie, a software designer, has one, Grace, and is expecting another soon.

Evelyn had to leave her cat, Queef, with her former partner, Chris.

Personality
Evelyn doesn't smoke, drink coffee or other caffeinated drinks, and only drinks on the rare occasion she gets together with her girlfriends and goes out for a night of dancing at their favourite bar, the Sutherland. [AKA the 'Scuz] [And no, this bar is not named for Kiefer Sutherland, although he did grow up in that area of Saskatoon. The former township of Sutherland - now a suburb of Saskatoon - was named in honour after his grandfather Tommy Douglas, former Premier of the province of Saskatchewan and proclaimed founding father of the Canadian social healthcare system.]

Evelyn, like many of her countrymen, doesn't like Americans. One on one they are quite often fine and dandy people, but as a large group she can't stand them.

Evelyn's favourite tv shows are Firefly, Star Gate Atlantis, Grey's Anatomy, Project Runway/Catwalk, Drawn Together, Sea Lab 2021, and Heroes.
