Eva Mills was the fifth of seven children born to Jefferson and Vandy Mills, dirt poor sharecroppers in southern Mississippi. Eva hated her life on the farm and ran away from home at age 12. After several weeks on the road, during which she suffered many abuses and injuries, she met up with Mama Lily. Mama Lily was an old black woman who lived deep in the woods. Folks said she was a witch…and folks was right! She took Eva in and trained her in the ways of magic. Living in Mama Lily’s little shack in the woods wasn’t much better than living on her parent’s farm, but Eva did like her lessons. It didn’t take long for her to figure out that she could use magic to move up in life someday.

That day came just after Eva’s 18th birthday, when she said goodbye to Mama Lily and headed off to the big city. Now grown into a beautiful and smart woman, Eva started putting her plan to work. First, she met and seduced Gordon LaSalle, an up and coming young criminal in the negro underworld of St. Louis. She ensured Gordon’s undying love with regular doses of a love potion, while removing his enemies with either spells or an army of alley cats lead by her own familiar, Midnight. Eventually, Gordon became the undisputed king of crime in St. Louis. Eva let’s him run his businesses (both criminal and legal) with some guidance from her, but she also has also enslaved several of his underlings to run a few secret operations of her own.

Lately, Eva has grown bored with St. Louis and has cast her eye towards New York in general and Harlem in particular. She has begun working on Gordon to make the move.

In her spare time, Eva enjoys jazz, champagne, the movies and being wealthy & powerful.

  1. I thought of a few other items you can put on your list. They are:
    A tie dye enthusiast
    A bandanna collector
    Large footed
    Your name and likeness in a ccg
    and most of all…
    A good friend

      1. That would be On the Edge CCG. Cut Ups expansion. I believe the card title was “Doc Cross – A Real Person…Really”
        I have a few copies of it that I wanted Doc to sign one day, but I never got around to it!
