Miss Evangelista was one of the explorers on the expedition to the Library in the 51st century, to investigate its abandonment. A young woman in her late teens or early 20s, she was the personal assistant to Strackman Lux (she described herself as his "personal everything"). She was considered dumb by other crew members such as Other Dave and Anita, who joked about her mistaking the escape pod for the toilet twice. She befriended Donna Noble, who she thought was nice for not caring about her intelligence. She told Donna that even her father had a low opinion of her intelligence, comparing it to plankton.

After being rebuffed in her efforts to help her shipmates, Evangelista (whose first or last name, if she had one, is not revealed) found a hidden passageway that led to a secluded part of the library. She attempted to tell the others about this, but they ignored her, so she went on to explore it for herself. This proved to be fatal, as she stepped into a shadow Vashta Nerada. Evangelista had her flesh instantly stripped by the Vashta Nerada, leaving her barely enough time to emit a brief scream, but a Data Ghost remained in her comm system and she thus remained conscious for minutes after her death. During this time of limbo, she exchanged words with Professor River Song and especially Donna, before her consciousness faded away with the words "ice cream". Afterwards, Donna described her experience with Evangelista's data ghost as the most horrible experience of her life. (DW: Silence in the Library)

Myths

• Evangelista's last words have occasionally been misinterpreted as "Ice cream." This well may be true, however, as on the official BBC subtitling, her final words are, "I... Ice cream. Ice cream."
