General Background
Eva was always naturally gifted in almost anything she decided to take up. When the time came to decide on a career choice, Eva wanted to pursue something practical. Though her parents were constantly encouraging her to pursue something that she loved, she felt pressured to come home with a degree that was "honorable" by society's standards. Although she knew it wasn't her passion, she attended the University of Pennsylvania for accounting. She studied there for three years, mildly content with the direction her life was headed.
She returned home for spring break of her junior year, the first time she had gone home in those three years. Over a dinner conversation of her mother's favorite current film, Eva came to the realization that there was no way she could happily be an accountant for the rest of her life. At the suggestion that she might want to change her major, her mother was ecstatic and her father happy to help. Saying that Eva's family was well-off was an understatement so her transition wasn't seen as an issue.
Her mother had attended Hollywood U and felt somewhat indebted to the school ever since her career as a film critic, under the alias Maria Beaumont, had blown up so her parents had been making rather generous donations to the college in recent years. For that reason, along with being surrounded by highbrow film and big names in the industry since childhood, it made sense that she attended Hollywood U. So when she returned to the University of Pennsylvania, she was more eager than ever for the year to be through. The response to her decision was almost wholly negative, many of the people she thought were her most supportive friends suggesting that she was just throwing her life away.
In her naturally defiant and stubborn way, she was determined to follow in her mother's footsteps and prove to those that doubted her that she could make it in an industry as brutal as film. Though the campus of Hollywood U was just as busy and bustling as that of the University of Pennsylvania, students at Hollywood U seemed far happier with their work. From that first day, Eva knew she had made the right decision and no one was going to take it away from her.

General Personality
Having lived in a household where her mother's work was discussed far more often than her father's, Eva knows that she knows what's good in film, what's best in film, and what's just god awful. But she hardly ever voices her comments for fear of coming off as too haughty or pretentious. She believes everyone is entitled to their own opinions and their own artistic expression, even if it conflicts with her own. As such, she believes that she should receive nothing less in return and actually loathes when people give her unsolicited advice.
Eva often comes across as rather self-confident and on occasion, a little too confident for her own good. She doesn't mind defending her opinions and deeply dislikes being challenged if she is certain that she's correct. Because of this demeanor, people are often surprised to find out that she is constantly seeking affirmation that she is adequate and a rather strong fear of crowds. People rarely hesitate to remind her that crowds and acting go hand-in-hand. As such, her relationship with acting is love/hate.
After burning bridges when she left the University of Pennsylvania, she is eager to make friends. To those that get past her seemingly arrogant exterior, she is incredibly kind and generous, willing to do anything that she can to help them if they are in need. As such, she has a habit of wearing herself a bit thin as she balance near perfectionist standards in all her work.
She generally keeps details about her home life to herself, seeing as she much rather be known for being exceptional due to her own merits and not her parents' donations. Dodging the question entirely is usually her preferred method of talking about personal details because she wouldn't intentionally lie to someone if she didn't deem it absolutely necessary. Because of this, she has a habit of coming across as suspicious to others.
