Name: Eve Baird (Colonel)
Canon: The Librarians (TV show, continuous with movies)
Canon Point: end of season 2; Eve is a statue and the next thing she knows she's in Aifaran
Age: thirty-mumble (35)
Type of Character: canon
Reference: Her wiki entry is honestly more like a synopsis of every episode she's appeared in. It should do.
Personality: There's a reason Eve was selected to be a Guardian.
Eve grew up in a military family, on military bases, shunted around every couple years at the whim of the organization and her parents. Her protective nature is her own nature; her raising means that she channeled that into the military, the best way she knew how. Before the series begins, Eve is working for NATO's anti-terrorism unit tracking down weapons of mass destruction and so on, in a bid to protect as many innocent people as possible.
Then the Library happens.
The Library is a collection of ancient magical artifacts, kept safe in an interdimensional Library where they can't be misused or accidentally hurt people. It always has a Librarian, a knowledgeable person whose task it is to gather rogue artifacts and smooth out magical difficulties, and a Guardian, who looks out for the Librarian. It's a bit like Eve's current job, except with a bodyguarding aspect, and magic.
Eve adapts very well, fortunately. She's very task-oriented, and good at tactics, and she doesn't waste too much time being disbelieving about the existence of magic: she works with the facts available to her, to accomplish what she needs to. Questions can come after lives are saved, unless she strictly needs that information to get the job done. Her preferred coping strategy for weird, magical, and-or complicated is sarcasm.
It works.
In the category of protective:
Her Librarian, Flynn, drives her nuts because he insists on doing things alone and where Eve can't keep an eye on him. She'd go with him, but she has three new Librarians -- Ezekiel, Jacob, and Cassandra -- to keep an eye on and protect, and she can't do everything at once. She sometimes errs on the side of too protective, preferring to keep them and civilians safe above other concerns, and this has wound up with her sidelining them when their skills would have been useful.
She's gotten better about trusting them since then, but she's still something of a grumpy mama bear. Even if being any of their mothers is, to quote, mathematically improbable.
Eve also doesn't have many qualms about giving up her life to protect innocents, if necessary. She's been in situations where she could have and probably should have died at least three times now.
She prefers straightforward solutions. Sometimes that solution is the right magical antidote. Sometimes that solution is a punch in the face. It isn't, necessarily, that she's impatient; she just doesn't have much tolerance for the useless or overly circuitous, and she generally feels like academics and Librarians sometimes forget there are simple solutions.
Eve is very secure in herself. Of note, despite being military and highly practical, she still manages to balance fashion and practicality, and she enjoys looking pretty but isn't going to lose much sleep over it. She has a high-quality sense of self-worth; she knows herself and her abilities honestly and doesn't lie to herself; she refuses to let anyone treat her as less than an equal. Her first meeting with her Librarian features a joint life-saving venture. Her second, by the same token, features him trying to tell her to go home, and Eve storming after him demanding Don't tell me what to do, even when she wasn't completely sure she wanted the job of protecting him a few minutes ago.
She does love Flynn, and their relationship grows from infatuation at first blush to something real and solid and loving. It isn't perfect, but they have dedication, and Eve won't allow him to be a noncommunicative jerk. Love alone isn't enough, though there's plenty of that; they actively work on it.
All this said, Eve is a very work-oriented person who borders on being a workaholic. When we see her home in the series, it's very briefly and most of her appliances aren't even out of their protective wrapping. She doesn't spend a lot of time there. She enjoys some comforts, generally speaking, and could go for a spa day or two, but she has trouble with having nothing to do; she's a very duty-oriented person.
If she was in another job she'd live that. It's just that her work now very often involves fighting. Even her vacations involve fighting, somehow.
She's more than competent with that, at least. All kinds of fighting, and weapons, and the decisiveness needed to make snap decisions with lives at stake. Eve never spends much time dithering; only acting. Her errors are almost always in the service of trying to protect people; she's only ever meant well.
So: Eve is vastly protective, excellently competent, and extremely adaptable. She thrives in difficulty, and has dedicated her life time and time again to ensuring that those who can't protect themselves will have the opportunity to live good lives.
No matter what it costs her personally.
Appearance: Acted by Rebecca Romijin. She's a relatively tall woman with a confident bearing and easy movements.
Abilities: Tactics, combat, adaptability. We haven't yet seen the weapon Eve can't figure out, she's good at planning and commanding, and she takes just about everything in stride, with possibly a few moments for why is this happening. She hates time travel but copes.
Of note is that she has a number of experiences which have given her a resistance to timeline errors. If she's not supposed to remember something, chances are she'll wind up remembering it. She should not, for instance, remember temporarily being Santa, crossing the entire world instantaneously in all places, or anything that happened at the Loom of Fate.
And yet.
Suitability: Adaptable, used to weird, very good at herding cats. She'll probably adopt more than a few Dreamfolk and do her best to not let them get hurt. This is basically her job, just in a different world. She'll fit in just fine.
Inventory:
Alas, poor Eve, she's stuck with what she's wearing: average women's clothing circa 1611. All her other stuff is in the present.
