If asked to describe Evergreen anyone would say something around the lines of beautiful, confident, strong, scary, and maybe at times a little pushy.
But what most people didn't know about Evergreen was that her confidence was a mask used in public, and that in reality she was very insecure about her looks and her place on the team.
Evergreen had long since perfected her mask to the extent it was now, where not even her team could tell it was a mask. At least they used to not know that it was a mask, but now they knew the truth.
It took a long time for Evergreen to drop the mask when it was just them and to let them see her for who she was truly, insecurities and all.
She didn't think she was beautiful, when complimented in public she would thank them and make a big show of it, but on the inside she wanted nothing to do but hide away. Because obviously this person must be mistaken, maybe they just couldn't see well or one of her brothers had bribed them into giving her a compliment.
It was something they would do... probably.
They were constantly trying to tell her that she was beautiful, or that what she was wearing looked really nice on her. But she knew they were just saying that.
They were her brothers after all, they were supposed to say stuff like that sometimes.
One of Evergreen's biggest insecurities is her strength.
Compared to the others magic she thinks that hers is rather weak, she can't make barriers as strong as Freed, or shoot as powerful blasts of magic like Laxus can, and she can't even control her eyes to the extent that Bickslow can.
But it wasn't just her magical strength, but her body strength too.
Freed had tried to teach her to fight with a sword, he always said she was getting better. He was probably just trying to keep her motivated, but at the end of each lesson Ever only counted how many times she got hit and not the amount of times she managed to hit him.
Laxus teaches her hand to hand and Bickslow works out with her all the time, but she knows she's not as strong as them and never will be.
She can't help but think that she isn't strong enough to be on the team.
The rest of the Thunder Legion would constantly tell Evergreen that despite what she thinks, she is beautiful and she is strong enough.
She never believes them though.
Some days it looks like she's starting too, but then something will happen to make her go back to her usual way of thinking and they will have to convince her again, but they made a promise the first time they seen her without the mask of confidence. They promised that they would make her see herself like they see her.
Maybe one day she will.
