Is Evelyn Chevalier good?
The first limited Fire attacker, who can use Chain Attacks whenever she likes, stunned enemy or not, and her Chain Attack is among the hardest-hitting there is. Her loop is building two resources and a debuff with basic combos, then spending them on repeated Chain Attacks during stuns.
Her damage floor is high and mastery raises it further, and she can group enemies. Her W-Engine options beyond her signature are weak, and her best partners,
Astra Yao and
Lighter, are both limited.
Strengths
- High damage floor and ceiling
- Groups enemies
- Rewarding combo play
- Chain Attacks outside stuns
Weaknesses

Background
the Agent nicknamed "Eve"
Evelyn Chevalier
Ms. Yao is currently enjoying her private time and will not be taking any interviews.
Evelyn Chevalier is a playable Agent in Zenless Zone Zero, and a member of the Stars of Lyra.
"Wow, you're so sharp, Eve! What did you do before becoming a manager...
a detective? Or a PubSec officer?"
—Astra Yao, hoping to get answers by using flattery and acting cute
"She's unyielding, sharp, decisive, and never leaves openings for a rebuttal.
With a manager like that paving the way, no wonder she's earning what she does."
—An investor rep, losing ground in a business negotiation
"My Queen! Here, over here! Wait... This lady is so pretty...
Is she a celebrity as well?"
—A new fan, attending Astra Yao's in-person fan event for the first time
"Hmph, how about using this secret to put a rest to that nightingale's swan song?"
—A cryptic voice message from an unknown sender
"10 o'clock, guy in black. He's suspicious.
I'll take care of him."
"You watch the perimeter. Don't let any suspicious individuals near Ms.
Yao."
"No one gets closer to Ms. Yao than my position."

Scheele's Green (Fugue codename)
Bella
Ella
Sophia
Shana
Glenn
Flying Squirrel

Though Evelyn is seen using her garrote for its intended purpose, the addition of a knife at the end and usage has it resemble a rope dart more.
Etymology
Her given name "Evelyn" is a name of English origin meaning "desired," whilst her family name "Chevalier" is of French origin and means "Knight."
Her Fugue codename, Scheele's Green, is an arsenic compound that used to be employed as a green pigment before the discovery of its toxicity.
Mistaken as a harmless dye, its pervasive presence in the late Victorian society caused many poisonings and deaths, including wallpaper poisoning.
Evelyn has a fondness for a fictional species of endangered moth, the Lunalux Serifilum.
The word Lunalux is a portmanteau of the Latin words and , which is probably a calque of the English word "moonlight", while Serifilum is a portmanteau of and .
Both Evelyn's garotte and her Arcade name are also Lunalux.
Stories
1Agent Profile: Evelyn
Evelyn is the manager and personal bodyguard of Ridu's most iconic singer, Astra Yao. Known for her calm, decisive decision-making and professional, efficient style, she's an irreplaceable pillar behind Astra. "In terms of commercial value, if Astra Yao represents the 1, then Evelyn is all the 0s that follow," a reporter from an entertainment magazine stated. Evelyn is skilled at planning comprehensive schedules and product endorsements, while also ensuring Astra Yao's safety during any unexpected situations. "Want to get close to Astra Yao? You'll have to get past Evelyn Chevalier first..." Though she's always busy with work, Evelyn never seems overwhelmed, and she has an almost obsessive attention to detail, ensuring that every performance and every product endorsement goes through her strict scrutiny. But strangely, such an exceptional manager is not trusted by her parent company, Odeum HAE. Intel: Evelyn's role seems to go beyond just being a manager and personal bodyguard; there seems to be an "organization" behind her. It seems a lot of people in Astra Yao's central Astranauts group ship them together.

Information about the "organization" Evelyn is affiliated with is scarce. Currently, it is only known that she was brought into the "organization" at a young age, where she underwent harsh training and developed skills to make quick decisions and carry out tasks in any environment. While these experiences have left numerous hidden scars on her, they also gave her remarkable abilities and composure. Consideration: We need to look into what kind of "organization" it actually is.
