Bevin Evan Mirskey (possibly Smith) is a recurring character on CW show "One Tree Hill", portrayed by Bevin Prince. Despite the character appearing in early season one, the character had her first speech in episode seventeen. All prior appearances were not credited as the character was only supposed to be a background cheerleader. Once the character had been established in episode seventeen, she was listed in the closing credits as a co-star. The role grew considerably throughout the first three seasons, appearing in sixteen of the third seasons episodes. Her friendship with Brooke Davis (Sophia Bush) and the other cheerleaders became prominent, and she began a relationship with Antwon "Skills" Taylor (Antwon Tanner). During a late season three episode, Bevin joined the main characters on a trip to Rachel Gatina's (Danneel Harris) cabin in the woods, where she interacted further with the main cast. The role was expanded further during the last two episodes of the fourth season, with Bevin Prince being listed as a guest star.

Characterization

Appearances

Bevin Mirskey, a student at Tree Hill High School, lives with her mother and father in the small town of Tree Hill.cite episode|title=The Birth and Death of the Day|series=One Tree Hill|credits=Mark Schwahn (writer) & Gregory Prange (director)|network=The CW|airdate=2007-06-06|season=4|number=20|minutes=42] She is part of the "Ravens" cheerleading squad and close friends with captain Brooke Davis.

She is invited to Nathan (James Lafferty) and Haley's (Bethany Joy Galeotti) wedding reception, where she is seen dirty dancing with a male friend. She was also in the select few people to get invited to Haley's bachelorette party that takes place after their wedding. When Brooke ran for Student Body President, she was manipulated by Erica Marsh (Katherine Bailess) to believe that if Brooke won she would have no time for the cheerleading squad. This initially worried Bevin as she believed Brooke to be the best captain ever.

Once Rachel Gatina moved to Tree Hill, the two quickly became friends. Rachel who was trying to take over the cheerleading squad used Bevin to make Brooke mad. After Bevin stole another squad member’s boyfriend a fantasy boy draft was conducted to ensure that nobody shared the same men. She was tricked by Rachel to give up her third pick spot for Rachel's fifth spot, as she was told that five is more than three. This however was a ploy for Rachel to gain Lucas Scott (Chad Michael Murray) as her boy draft since Rachel now had the third choice. After daydreaming about being with Skills, Bevin chooses him to be her draft. The two then embark on the mandatory date at her house where she plays him the movie "The Notebook", to show him the depth of love. Following the school shooting incident, Rachel invited her, along with Lucas, Nathan, Peyton (Hilarie Burton), Haley, Brooke, Mouth (Lee Norris) and Skills to her cabin at the woods. Bevin takes Skills on a walk through the forest and the two become lost due to Skills' scepticism. She however, insisted that she knew where the two as she has been a girl scout. After spending most of a day thinking that they were stranded, the found themselves to be within shouting distance with the cabin. She attends Haley and Nathan's vow renewal.

After Lucas and Brooke's break-up, Skills asks her to gain information for Lucas. However she returns to tell them simply that Brooke had broken up with him, information that Lucas clearly knew. At the state championship she goes to the hospital with the squad after Haley fear something is wrong with her and Nathan's unborn child. At a stripping contest, she has to comfort Skills when he gets stage fright, promising to then dance for him later. In a class assignment to find out more about their class mates, she gets paired with Rachel. After a comment about her being dumb, Bevin replied with how she may seem dumb but she's not stupid and she only acts the way she does because Rachel and the other cheerleaders need her to feel better about themselves. She attends prom with Skills, and is also the person to announce that Brooke is prom queen. Before graduation she is nervous when her parents want to meet Skills' parents. The two had both not told their parents about each other’s race, and worried that they wouldn't understand. Once Bevin returns home Skill's and his parents are already there and the families have been getting on great. At graduation, Bevin slips over on stage after being excited she has received her diploma. She then attends a party thrown by Rachel, and signs her name on the River Court with the rest of the group.
