=== Early life and marriage ===
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 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 back then, she would often plead with Dalinar to be more peaceful.{{book ref|sa1|28}}{{book ref|sa3|26}}
}}
Evi's body was recovered from the rubble, to be given a proper burial. Dalinar created a story to mitigate everyone's actions, 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 [[Torol 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, withdrawing from public life.{{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. As the Nightwatcher was incapable of understanding his request, [[Cultivation]] intervened, and took away all of Dalinar's memories of his wife.{{book ref|sa3|114}}
