▲Evi was born in [[Rira]] sometime around the year {{Rosharan date|1124}}.{{book ref|sa3|19}} She grew up there with her brother, [[Toh]]. At some point, possibly at birth, she was bestowed with a [[Shardplate]], albeit she didn't use it herself.{{book ref|sa3|26}}
▲When she was around nineteen years old, Evi and Toh fled Rira to Alethkar, and pursued an alliance with them, offering a set of Shardplate in exchange for Alethi protection from their own people. It was Sadeas who suggested that Dalinar; Dalinar agreed, knowing that Navani was now beyond his reach.{{book ref|sa3|19}} The two were betrothed soon thereafter, but married only three years later, as Evi's culture required prolonged courtship. However, she accompanied him to his military campaigns throughout her betrothal. Even back then, she would often plead with Dalinar to be more peaceful.{{book ref|sa1|28}}{{book ref|sa3|26}}
=== Sons ===
By the year {{Rosharan date|1150}}, she and Dalinar were no longer at war, but rather at their home in Kholin lands. It was in 1150 that she gave birth to her first son, [[Adolin]].{{book ref|sa3|49}} Shortly thereafter, Dalinar would depart for the border wars with [[Herdaz]] and [[Jah Keved]], leaving Evi to raise the boy on her own for the next five years.
=== War and death ===
When Adolin was five years old, Evi decided to join Dalinar on his campaigns. This was motivated by several factors, chief among them the fact that all other Alethi wives joined their husbands on the campaign trail, and that Dalinar spent too little time with his children. Although he tried to convince her that the battlefield was no place for her, she insisted on staying.{{book ref|sa3|52}} From then on out, she would spend half of every year with Dalinar -- and, later, Adolin -- in his war camps, and the other half in [[Kholinar]] with Renarin, who was too sickly to take on the road. Her Riran accent began to fade at the time, though she would sometimes switch back to her native language.{{book ref|sa3|66}}
Although outwardly, it appeared that she and Dalinar were a loving couple, by 1163 the two of them were more at odds than ever. Evi wanted the killing to end, and for
Unfortunately, this was not to be. Tanalan betrayed Dalinar, burying him under a pile of rubble. When Dalinar returned, Evi was already beginning to mourn him, and grew even more distressed when he began his plan to take revenge, leading to him ordering his men to escort her out of the command tent and somewhere safe.{{book ref|sa3|75}} Unbeknowst to him, she snuck out and came to the city to plead with Tanalan for peace. The young highprince arrested her in his former safehouse, now turned city prison. When Dalinar set flame to the Rift, Evi died in the flames, with Dalinar finding out far too late to even attempt saving her.{{book ref|sa3|76}}

Evi's body was recovered from the rubble, to be given a proper burial. Dalinar created a story to mitigate her act of sneaking out, claiming that she was kidnapped by Tanalan's men and that the Rift was burned in retribution for this.{{book ref|sa3|76}} The story would later change, with [[Sadeas]], who was fighting alongside Dalinar at the time, taking the blame for burning the city.{{book ref|sa3|96}} Both Dalinar and Sadeas were publicly censured by king [[Gavilar]] for the loss of Rathalas.{{book ref|sa3|88}}▼

Dalinar would later begin to hear voices of all those he's killed, with Evi loudest among them. This drove him to drink heavily, slowly fading.{{book ref|sa3|88}} Eventually, he visited the [[Nightwatcher]], following Evi's stories of her, and asked her for forgiveness for his part in Evi's death. Instead, [[Cultivation]] took away all his memories of his wife.{{book ref|sa3|114}}▼
