▲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}}

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}}

▲== Attributes and Abilities ==
▲Evi was a fluent speaker of Alethi language, although she had a habit of literally translating her native idioms into Alethi, which sometimes led to them losing their context.{{book ref|sa3|36}} She's implied to have been left-handed, although she re-trained herself to use her right upon marrying [[Dalinar]].{{book ref|sa3|19}} She had some measure of artistic skill, having created the sketches of [[Adolin]]'s [[Shardplate]] for the royal record.{{book ref|sa2|44}}
== Trivia ==
▲Said Shardplate was originally hers; it was the reason why Dalinar married her in the first place.{{book ref|sa3|26}} The queen of [[Iri]] claims that the set belongs to her, although her claim appears weak, as she and Evi aren't related.{{book ref|sa3|16}}
* In ''[[The Way of Kings Prime]]'', Dalenar (proto-[[Dalinar]]) likewise has a dead wife, though she is called Kalkanah rather than Evi. Very little is known about her, only that she would be furious if Dalenar were to dirty their house, and Dalenar did not forget her, nor did her death crush him as badly as Evi's crushed Dalinar.{{book ref|wok prime|52}}
* If she had joined the [[Knights Radiant]], she would most likely be an [[Order of Edgedancers|Edgedancer]] or a [[Order of Truthwatchers|Truthwatcher]].{{wob ref|15262}}
