Even as a child, Eva is confident, vibrant and charismatic. Out of the three Trentham daughters, Eva most resembles her parents—her personality balances between organized and careless, free-spirited and levelheaded. Eva and Lily are initially brought together by their shared sense of imagination, which cultivates in them a communal creativity—it is no surprise that both women are involved in the art world later in their lives. Eva is willing to take risks, much more than Lily, and is often characterized as a wild, emotional young girl. These personality traits eventually lead Eva to run off with Jerome. Yet her aforementioned levelheadedness allows her to leave her toxic situation with Jerome and seek refuge with Bea and Lily.
