Eve Castigan - also known as The Manic Miner - was The Red Knight's boxing champion from 2197 onwards.
An amateur boxer since childhood, Eve is a good-natured soul with a strict code of honour, who likes to resolve her conflicts with her fists.
She left home in Ireland to head to the stars, joining the crew of The Red Knight in late 2196 as part of its mining crew.
Attracted by the idea of becoming the ship's champion boxer, she turned a lifetime of training into a mission and battled her way to the top in short order, taking down any man or woman who stood in her path.
Now, whenever The Red Knight is docked, she will willingly fight for the honour of the ship against all-comers from other ships - either in professional, organised, bouts or in backstreet bars... or somewhere in between.
Admittedly, not the sharpest tool in the box, the six foot tall, muscle-bound, Eve can be a mite gullible at times, her head easily turned by a flirtatious smile from a handsome fellow or a pretty lass.
She may not be the strongest person on board The Red Knight, but she is certainly the most skilled pugilist. This, and her honesty and sense of fair play, means she is generally regarded as the arbiter of shipboard disputes on the lower decks.

Nice! Plus, I have such a crush on Gina Carano. <3
ReplyDeleteThanks. That character went through multiple iterations (starting as a man called Mike) - all inspired by Robert E Howard's Sailor Steve Costigan (my favourite REH character) - before I finally came to Eve.
DeleteCasting took only a matter of moments as I'd just watched the latest Disney Gallery about making The Mandalorian!
