Although she and Dalinar are poorly matched, she nonetheless strives to make their relationship work. She refuses to let her frustration with Dalinar's darker nature show to her children, having told them that their father is an excellent man and officer.{{book ref|sa3|94}} Eventually, she comes to truly care for him, although she is keenly aware that he

== Attributes and Abilities ==
Evi is a fluent speaker of Alethi language, although she has a habit of literally translating her native idioms into Alethi, which sometimes led to them losing their context.{{book ref|sa3|36}} She may be naturally left-handed, and likely re-trained herself to use her right hand upon marrying [[Dalinar]].{{book ref|sa3|19}} She has some measure of artistic skill, having created the sketches of [[Adolin]]'s [[Shardplate]] for the royal record.{{book ref|sa2|44}}

=== Early
Evi was born in [[Rira (country)|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 given a set of [[Shardplate]], although she would never use it herself.{{book ref|sa3|26}}
When she was roughly nineteen years old, Evi and Toh fled Rira to Alethkar and pursued an alliance with the Alethi, offering a set of Shardplate in exchange for their protection from their own people. It was [[Torol Sadeas]] who suggested that Dalinar marry Evi; Dalinar agreed, knowing that [[Navani]] was now beyond his reach.{{book ref|sa3|19}} The two were betrothed soon thereafter, but only formally married three years later, as Evi's culture required prolonged courtship. However, she accompanied him to his military campaigns throughout her betrothal. Even

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}}
