Born to Alexander Nam and Mi-kyong Nam (nee Kim), Evan was the second born of 4. He is the youngest male of the family and quite looks up to his older brother. When Noah turned 11 he received a scholarship to attend a prestigious boarding school. Evan was excited for his brother and his opportunity, but he was sad he’d be gone for so long. That first year he decided to devote himself to studying so that he could attend the same school as his brother when he reached 11, although he didn’t know too much about the place as his parents and brother were fairly vague in describing it.
Evan did begin to notice weird things start to happen around him when he was 9/10, things would disappear or seem like they would move closer to him unexplainably. Always figuring he was just exaggerating things in his mind, he never said anything to his family. And then even if he wanted to, they were packing up to move to Manchester for a new work position for his dad. Evan was, selfishly, excited because they would be moving away from Noah’s school and maybe they would get to attend the same one now. But again, Noah received a scholarship to a boarding school in the UK and Evan was left to public schools with his younger sisters.
On his 11th birthday, however, Evan received a letter from Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry inviting him to attend come the next fall. He laughed at first, thinking it was a practical joke, and showed it to his parents. They looked at each other and asked him not to show the letter to his younger sisters and that Noah would be better equipped to explain things to him. The boy didn’t understand what that meant but immediately began sending post to his older brother, whom unfortunately at the time was confined to Hogwarts which had disappeared off the map.
Noah returned home that summer, and he and Evan's new friends Solana Kennedy and Chiyo Koizumi were able to catch the young male Nam up on a lot of the wizarding world, introducing him to Diagon Alley and shops and magical items. His favorite quickly became magical candy.
Evan's first term was fairly uneventful, as he kept himself occupied in his new Common Room, having been sorted into Ravenclaw, and read as many books as he could get his hands on there and in the library. He spent a good deal of time wandering the halls too, learning the layout of the castle and taking time to talk to the various portraits who truly had a lot of wisdom to share. Before he knew it, the year was over and while some scary things were afoot at Hogwarts, he did his best to remain ignorant so that he could enjoy his summer and look forward to returning the in the fall with TWO of his siblings, as Maya had also received her acceptance letter.
The three elder Nam's returned Hogwarts for Noah's Seventh year, Evan's second and Maya's FIRST year. Evan was disappointed his sister was sorted into Slytherin, quite hopeful she'd be in his house, but he didn't have time to dwell as Hogwarts was already getting scarier and scarier with a take over, confiscation of all items letting them talk to home, and the obvious disdain for muggles and the muggle born. He was determined to lie even lower this term than his first, however his blood status did not allow him to do so due to the blatant targeting by the school's newest staff members. By mid year, his wand had been confisicated and he was thrown into a room with all the other muggleborns and halfbloods, only let out for classes (which he hardly wanted to attend) and twice a day for exercise. Over the year he grew to hate magic and the magical side of who he was, though there was nothing he could do to change it.
By the end of his second term, a war had erupted at Hogwarts and many were injured and killed alike, including the parents of his best friend Solana. Though he could not explain exactly how it happened, upon finding the bodies it was determined Sol would go home with them for the time being and when none of her family was able to step up and take her in full time, his parents began the process of adopting her into the Nam family. Due to Solana’s pureblood status and another change in an already crazy and hectic year, Evan was not pleased with this change in the family dynamic. Though as he knows that isn’t anyone’s fault, just his personal feelings, he tries to remain closed off and quiet regarding it so as not to make anyone feel bad.
He was not at all looking forward to his third term at Hogwarts, however it was a calmer year than he had thus far experienced and he was able to put himself out there and make more friends as the year progressed. Socially, it was a good developing year for Evan and getting to watch his sister in the production of Peter Pan had been a high light after some of the crazy that happened.
For his fourth year, Evan had no expectations nor nowhere near as much dread as he did before. Which as it turned out to be a pretty decent year, vines and curses excluded. He focused a lot more on making friends and spending time with people, and not using extra study as much in order to prep for not burning out his fifth year.
His Owl year, Evan secluded himself away from most people in order to devote himself fully to his studies. A task that had clearly paid off, as he managed to score all O's for his exams that year. His social life suffered, but it was nothing he couldn't make up for in his sixth year.
Which was exactly what he did. Dance planning committees, classes and plenty of time to hang out, it was a quiet term for the Nam male. However as he headed into his seventh, he was absolutely looking forward to brushing up on his socializing skills (read: learn them) before heading off on a sailing excursion post school before university.
