Evelyn Ophelia Hanratty (23) is a former student of Joseph's. Evelyn struggled in class due to her schizophrenia, and put up with a lot of bullying. Often, she felt like Mr. Penn was her only friend, and they developed a very close relationship. Though strictly platonic, their closeness did lead to a few rumors being spread. However, Mr. Penn's good reputation with both the students and the staff helped him dispel the rumors relatively quickly. A math teacher, Joseph recognized great talent in Evelyn, and his guidance led her to become an astronomer. Now, she lives right outside San Francisco, with her partner and their newborn triplets. She's very anxious about just starting her career with three newborns, but her partner works from home and is going to be taking care of the triplets while Evelyn is in school.
