Early Life[]
Eveleen was born in England of August 14, 1728. She lived in Queen Anne's Square, London, with her parents Edward and Emily Kenway, along with her half-sister, Jennifer Scott and her brother, Haytham Kenway.
Unbeknownst to her, Eveleen was trained to become a Assassin from an early age and was tutored on how to use a sword, despite barely being five years old. Eveleen was home-schooled by "Old" Mr. Fayling with her brother, and was not allowed to talk to the children who lived next door, although she and Haytham did once manage to speak to a neighbor their age, Tom Barrett.
On Haytham eighth birthday, Eveleen's family was walking home from a trip to White's Chocolate House on Chesterfield Street, when the group were attacked by a mugger trying to steal Emily's necklace. Reginald Birch, one of Edward's senior property managers, who was also with them, threatened to kill the man.
Losing her father[]
Eveleen still continued her training to become an Assassin, where Edward encouraged his daughter to go outside and meet new people, this is where Eveleen meets John Harris in town while he was getting dinner for his family.
Shortly after, Eveleen came home to overheard an argument between his father and Birch. Birch left and turned to Eveleen, mentioning that he tried to warn his father. Subsequently Edward hired two British soldiers to guard the house.
On the night of 3 December 1735, five mercenaries attacked the Kenway household. Edward managed to dispatch one, but was killed when another attacker plunged a sword through his chest. During this event, Haytham and Eveleen took their first life by grabbing up the first man's sword and stabbing his mother's attacker in the eye and Eveleen picks up a sword and stabs Edward's killer in the chest. Soon after, Edward's killer knocked Eveleen over, but was prevented from killing him too when Birch arrived and slew the mercenary. Regardless, they were unable to prevent the fourth and fifth men from kidnapping Jennifer and setting fire to the house.
