'''Evelina''', daughter of marble merchant [[Lobus Caecilius]] and his wife, [[Metella]], was a young [[Roman]] woman living in [[Pompeii]] on the eve of its destruction in [[August]] [[79]].


'''Evelina''' was the daughter of [[Lucius Caecilius Iucundus|Caecilius]] and [[Metella]] and the sister to [[Quintus]]. She aspired to join the [[Sibylline Sisterhood]], a local cult of oracles influenced by the alien [[Pyrovile]]s. She had herself breathed in the Pyrovile's dust and had [[psychic]] powers. The Doctor transported her, with her family away from their burning house in [[the TARDIS]], so as to escape the [[volcanic]] eruption. The Doctor told her that the link with Pyrovile had been broken, so that she was no longer psychic. Six months later she was living in [[Rome]] with her family and going out more as she was seeing a boy. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Fires of Pompeii]]'')
Evelina showed some precognitive abilities, and so was promised to the [[Sibylline Sisterhood]], a local cult of oracles influenced by the alien [[Pyrovile]]s, as a consecrated priestess.

Like her parents and brother [[Quintus]], Evelina was spared from Pompeii's destruction by the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s timely intervention.
*The [[Caecilius]] family ([[Lucius Caecilius Iucundus|Caecilius]], [[Metella Caecilius Iucundus|Metella]] and [[Quintus Caecilius Iucundus|Quintus]]) were based upon characters used in Latin text books, in turn based on actual historical characters but Evelina was invented by [[James Moran]] so she could be a member of the Sibylline Sisterhood.

You may wish to consult Evelina for other, similarly-named pages.

Evelina, daughter of marble merchant Lobus Caecilius and his wife, Metella, was a young Roman woman living in Pompeii on the eve of its destruction in August 79.

Evelina showed some precognitive abilities, and so was promised to the Sibylline Sisterhood, a local cult of oracles influenced by the alien Pyroviles, as a consecrated priestess.

Like her parents and brother Quintus, Evelina was spared from Pompeii's destruction by the Tenth Doctor's timely intervention.

Her psychic abilities vanished with the Pyroviles and the city — the Doctor explained that her ability to see the future was due to Mount Vesuvius' eruption being so powerful that it cracked open a rift in time for a second and the effects echoed backward through time — so she was free to be an ordinary young woman once more and date, to her father's consternation. (TV: The Fires of Pompeii)
