Bathilda Shaniqua Evans, known to most of the world as Tilly, Bessie to her siblings, and Bat to AW, is one of Maria and Quentin's bizarrely-named kids. She is an aspiring ballerina and violinist. She is known to have an inability to learn how to swim, which connects to a dark incident that happened in the past. One that she can't remember.
TillyAppearance

Tilly had inherited her mother's brown hair and her father's grey eyes. Her hair reaches down to her waist, which is usually kept loose. Sometimes it would be put into a braid or a bun. Other times it would be covered by a hat. She also has a teeth gap. Tilly is modeled by Diana Pentovich.

TillyPersonality

She is the 8 year old feisty ball of sunshine of the Evans family. She hates it when people underestimate her because she is a kid. She studies and reads books a lot and does things that most little kids don't dare to do just to prove she can be a grown-up. She is slightly more intelligent than the average little kid because of that. Whenever she hears a new word, she immediately opens a dictionary to understand it. She is also very observant, often observing how people do things to learn how they do it. Like some of her siblings, she loathes her name, but not as much as EQ. She thinks her parents have the worst naming abilities ever. She had never revealed her real name to anyone and would usually introduce herself as either Tilly or Annie. But don't call her Bessie, she'll rage. Only her siblings can call her that.

Tilly has an unconventional fear of large bodies of water. She doesn't really know why but she tends to freeze up whenever she nears any of it. This does help her a bit because she doesn't know how to swim. While she knows how to do many household chores and a collection of miscellaneous skills, she cannot swim to save her life. Seriously though, no matter how hard she tried or how many times she observed her siblings swim, she can't. She could only float, which isn't that fun at all. Whenever she does try to paddle her feet, they freeze up, even when she's just in shallow water. She doesn't know why this happens but this frustrates her to no end. She thinks it was because of that movie they watched where everyone riding a cruise ship drowned in the middle of the ocean, but she isn't really sure.

She is very excited at the prospect of going to Hogwarts so she tends to squish her older siblings with questions the minute they return from the school. She is an information seeker and tends to annoy older people with her never ending questions. She gets upset when she gets something wrong so she strives to get everything right. She's a slight perfectionist.

But of course, she's just a little girl so she isn't really that mature. She tends to sulk when she's ignored and her opinions are brushed off. She hates being left out. When she starts sulking, the only thing you'll have to do is ignore her until she snaps out of it.


TillyHistory

Bathilda Shani-- "Oi, it's Tilly. Get it right!" Tilly Evans is one of Maria and Quentin Evans' bizarrely-named kids. She is the sixth out of eight children and is the most feisty one of them all. With so many siblings which results in a very loud house, she grew to resent overly loud areas, a complete opposite of her brother EQ. Her childhood days consisted of hiding inside her room, trying to block out the noise and digging into her older cousins' books. Any reading material she lays eyes on, she reads.

She loved what she had learnt and tried to show the older members of the house but they brushed her off, seeing as she was pretty young at that time. Frustrated, she started doing things only older people should do, like cooking, groceries, etc. This ended with her being the only one of the Evans children to actually enjoy chores, but also getting a lot of bruises and a lot of scolding. But this didn't stop her. She continued doing them and never heeded the warnings of both her parents and older siblings. It was a surprise she didn't get into any major accidents.

In actuality, her inability to swim was because of an incident that happened years ago, during a family trip to the lake. Being only 4 years old, she sat on the picnic table, quietly watching the others play in the water and swim. She knows the others told her to stay put. She knows they told her that for her own good. But they were having so much fun and the crystal blue water was so tempting to walk in. Slowly sliding of the chair, she walked quietly towards the water. The rest were too immersed in their fun to notice the little girl walking into the water, one who hasn't been taught how to swim.

The water was up to her neck now, which prevented her from looking downwards. She took another step forward and slipped. Her cut-off scream alerted her parents and siblings, who were too far off in the lake to quickly get to her. Pretty soon, they were diving down, swimming as fast as they could towards Tilly. The said girl was struggling underwater, holding a hand on her throat and the other hand outstretched towards the surface. She was losing oxygen very quickly. Jessie, being the most flexible out of them all, reached her first moments after she stopped breathing.

Jessie pulled her out of the water and on to the shore, checking her pulse. After finding out that Tilly had no pulse anymore, she started to perform CPR on her. When it didn't work, she was quickly rushed to the nearest hospital where the doctors attempted resuscitation on her and did their best to remove all the water from her lungs. CPR was performed on her again, but it still didn't work. Tilly was pronounced medically dead for a whole long hour. The doctor was in the middle of reprimanding Maria and Quentin for being irresponsible parents when they heard the beep of the heart monitor. A minute passed before it was followed by another beep, then another, and another, until it continued in a rhythmic beat.

She didn't wake up for a solid week, only waking up in the middle of the day, murmuring about bubbles and splashes. When she was questioned about the incident, she replied that no such thing ever happened. She only saw her older siblings and parents at the lake and then a long blank spot in her memory. Repressed memory, the doctors said. She was kept at the hospital for another few days before being released, seeing as she had no large change in personality and behavior, physically and mentally. However, the incident left a deep, unconscious psychological scar. She couldn't go near a large body of water without buckling her knees. The worst part? She didn't know why. Her reactions got better as the years went by, but she is still pretty scared.

She doesn't remember/know why, but she had started to follow Jessie around like a little puppy. She thinks it was because she was intrigued of how flexible her older sister was. Because of that, she got interested in ice skating and rhythmic gymnastics. But because these were her sister's spheres of power specialties, she tried ballet and asked her mother to enroll her in a ballet class. Seeing as this could drag her daughter away from her crazy shenanigans and increase her lifespan, Maria agreed. Tilly quickly found out that she had an affinity for it and continued to attend until her 11th birthday.

Tilly's ballet coach turned out to be Tutshill Tornadoes' Adriana DeWitt, who is as excellent at coaching as she is at beating. Under Adrianna's wing, Tilly was able to see her full potential and devoted her time more on the dance.

While ballet did reduce the amount of injuries Tilly received every week, it did not stop her from trying out new things. She continued to plan out every borderline dangerous/difficult/interesting thing she wants to do, eventually finding out that she liked the violin, too. She is then enrolled by her parents in a violin class. By the time EQ had received his Hogwarts letter, Tilly's already excellent in both.

With the ringleader of the bunch gone, the house got a little more chaotic and noisier than ever, which irked Tilly a lot and spent a lot more time outside of the house. But every time EQ returned to the house, she immediately bombards him with a lot of questions and always asks to borrow his books. The chaos slowly died down as the twins, Jessie and Jesse, and Au-- AA left to follow EQ the next few years. Pretty soon, it was Zel's turn. Well, at least EQ wouldn't have to suffer Tilly's 400-questions-per-summer alone.

TillyRelationships

Quentin and Maria Evans

She is a bit bitter at her mother because of the horrid names she gave her children. She doesn't know who gave her mother the right to give them those type of names. Heck, Gaylord shouldn't even be a name. Also, someone needs to tell their father that letting your wife give your children embarrassing names is not okay.

EQ Evans

Her older brother. She admires him for he stood up with the rest of their siblings' craziness and was able to be a really good leader. She knows she can't win against him in a verbal fight so she avoids any arguments as she can. Debating with him, well that's another thing. One thing she really likes about EQ is that he's bloody well excellent at debating and she really loves doing it with him.

Jessie Evans

Jessie is her idol, to be honest. She was Tilly's inspiration to pursue ballet and, unbeknownst to her, the one who saved her life. She's really impressed by her flexibility and would often try to imitate her. She started to follow her around after the incident and had tried out many of Jessie's interests, including ice skating and rhythmic gymnastics, but she eventually settled with ballet since those were her sister's spheres of power.

Jesse Evans

Honestly, Jesse's her favourite brother. He's just so kind and princely that Tilly can't help but favour him over AW and EQ. She thinks he had the worst luck when he was born and would kindly hit people on their head when they make fun of him and his name.

AA Evans

AW Evans

WIP

Adriana DeWitt

Her ballet coach. Tilly thinks she's really awesome and wants to be as great as her someday. Because of Adriana's influence, Tilly is pro-Tornadoes and will verbally fight anyone who trash talks them. Tilly works really hard to please her coach. She knows Adriana is also a violinist and would often ask her for any tips and tricks.

Aspirin Auttenberg

Tilly's best friend. She treats Aspirin like she was her own sister. Aspirin was the one who taught her how to bake properly and Tilly is very impressed at Aspirin's ability to systematically reverse-engineer technology. The two are currently researching on how to make invisibility cookies and enhance Tilly's bombtastic cookies. Tilly also keeps a notebook which she dubbed the 'Aspicabulary' which, to date, has 148 words, the latest ones being Aurorazing and AmeBellazing.

Tessa

Tilly first met Tessa in the Hobby Hub and had helped her get her violin strings, which she was very thankful for. She met Tessa again in the Hogsmeade grounds and formally met her. She thinks Tessa is nice and so far has enjoyed talking with her. Her opinion of Tessa skyrocketed once she realizes that the other girl loves blackmail as much as her and now they're planning on world domination.


TillyMisc

Violin and violin bow

Tilly owns a 1/2 sized violin and a violin bow, given to her by her parents when she was 7 years old. Prior to receiving the instrument, she used to use a 1/4 sized violin. This is Tilly's most prized possession and is very protective of it. She keeps it in top-notch condition and plays it everyday.

Ballet and pointe shoes
Being an aspiring ballerina, Tilly naturally has these. As with her instrument, she keeps these in top-notch condition.

Violinist

Tilly had discovered how she loves playing the violin when she was trying out many instruments. She had been enrolled in a violin class by her parents in effort to reduce her dangerous quest of discoveries. She still attends those classes to this day and is steadily becoming a skilled violinist.

Ballet

Inspired by Jessie's flexibility and interest in any activities involving flexibility, Tilly tried out ballet and quickly learns about her affinity in the dance. Along with her violin classes, Tilly started attending ballet classes, which she enjoys immensely.

Domestic chores
Believe it or not, Tilly is the siblings' ace at domestic chores and actually enjoys them. Cooking, cleaning the most impossible places, speedily washing the dishes, you name it, and she can probably do it. This is because she gets bored from time to time and has nothing else to do other than chores.

Bathilda

Variant of Bathild, the latter being a variant spelling of Badhild, which, in turn, is derived from the Germanic element badu "battle" combined with Old Norse hildr "battle."

Shaniqua

Combination of the popular name elements Shan and qua.

Evans
Means "son of Evan".
