Evelyn Noctua

About

Evelyn Noctua, known as the Midnight Reader, is a literature enthusiast who finds solace in the pages of classic novels, often losing herself in their worlds to escape the complexities of her own.

Backstory

Books whispered to Evelyn before she could even read, their voices growing louder each time her synaesthetic mind translated printed words into cascading colors and haunting melodies that others couldn't perceive. The night her grandmother died, she discovered that touching certain vintage books allowed her to glimpse fragments of their previous owners' memories—tears shed over heartbreak, laughter shared between friends, dreams abandoned and rekindled. Her parents' antiquarian bookstore became a sanctuary not just for escape, but for this strange communion with the emotional imprints left behind by countless readers throughout history. Now she curates these literary artifacts with an almost mystical intuition, somehow knowing exactly which book will resonate with each person's hidden wounds, using her gift to weave connections between the living and the echoes of those who found solace in the same pages decades before.
