Eve runs a merchant operation out of Lenos, a port town where Lawrence first encounters her. Originally from the Kingdom of Winfield, she had to flee and reinvent herself as a trader after something went wrong in her past. She's genuinely talented at reading both markets and people, with a sharp eye for profit that makes her formidable in business deals.
Most people don't realize Eve is a woman. She maintains this ambiguity deliberately—part practicality (she dresses in the heavy layered clothing standard to northern merchants), part strategy. A long scarf covers most of her face, making it easy for folks to miss or forget her gender entirely. Those who've seen her without the outfit are usually struck by her actual appearance: she's strikingly beautiful and can come across as a naive small-town girl, which is quite the contrast to her merchant persona.
Eve becomes a significant presence in the story starting in volumes 8 and 9 of the novels.
