Early life
Evandra was born on 16 Feb 1655 as a daughter of the House of Ollivander, a very ancient pure-blood wizarding family known for being wandmakers in Diagon Alley since 32 B.C. Even though she came from a wealthy family, her parents instilled in her that blood status was not everything. She was renowned as a great beauty, but was also a very shy individual since early childhood.

She attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1 September 1666 to June of 1673 and was sorted into Ravenclaw House. During her time at Hogwarts, she became acquainted with Lysander Greengrass VI, the heir to the House of Greengrass, who was a year above her. They had become quite fond of each other and their fondness had grown into love during her sixth year.

Etymology
Evandra is the feminine variant of Evandrus, the Latin form of the Greek name  (Euandros) meaning "good of man", derived from (eu)meaning "good" and (aner) meaning "man".

The surname Greengrass is of English topographical origins and would have denoted one who lived at a hamlet so named. The derivation is from the Old English pre 7th Century words 'grene,' meaning 'green' and 'groes,' meaning grass.
