Evilla

Evilla is a young woman who grew up as an orphan on the streets of Galkav's capital Ephina. She is one of the most prominent characters in the first 4 books, as well as the 2 latest installments to the series.

When she is first encountered in book 1 she is described as a child in her mid-teens, cautious of the people trying to show goodwill to her and her fellow street urchins, but also taking a caring role to the other kids and making sure they're safe. She makes sure to find safe ways for them to get a hold on food and safe places to sleep.

She does, however, later in the book awaken powers that allow her to heal and sometimes perform miracles. She then uses her newfound powers to help the poor, suffering and helpless people she finds in the slums in Ephina, earning herself the nickname "The Saintess from Ephina." The nature of these powers are unknown, with Evilla herself questioning where they come from and even attempting to pray to all kinds of different beings trying to find an answer. In book 8, after returning to her original party from a journey she departed on in book 5 in order to develop and discover more of her powers, she concluded that:

"I don't know if it's some god granting me their blessing or if it is the world doing it. I only know one definite thing about it, and that is that I will used it to help people, help the people who can't do it themselves. And for all the good in the world, make sure that it will never be consumed in darkness."
