Ewen Egeburg

"Don't worry. Once Damian is grown up, I know he'll make Ostania a better place to live!"

- Ewen Egeburg in Chapter 39

Ewen Egeburg (ユーイン・エッジバーグ) is a supporting character of the SPY X FAMILY series. He is one of Damian Desmond's followers at Eden Academy and a student of Cecile Hall.

Appearance
Ewen is a young boy with light skin and an elongated head. His hair is light and combed back. When his hair is down, it reaches about chin-length.

Like all other male students, he wears Eden Academy's uniform—a black button-up shirt with black shorts. He wears long white crew socks with black shoes.

During their mornings on their way to Eden Academy, he typically holds another bag in his arms along with the schoolbag on his back, likely to be Damian's bag.

Personality
He is kind and caring for his friends. An example of this is when he holds two bags in his arms with the other one likely to be Damian’s bag.

Background
He is friends with Damian and Emile, and the three of them stay in the Eden dormitories.

Eden Beginnings Arc
Ewen quickly befriends Damian and Emile Elman, praising Damian and commenting that he will become an Imperial Scholar in no time. Learning that Anya is a nobody, he and Emile quickly push her away to not spread germs on Damian. After Damian picks on Anya and gets punched by her, Emile and Ewen tell Henry Henderson, but Anya denies it, saying that she pulled out her fist and Damian somehow ran into her hand. Ewen quickly rebukes the claim, pointing out how Anya left a mark on Damian's face.

The next day at school, Ewen, Emile, and Damian head to class from their dorm and run into Becky and Anya on the way. Later at lunch, Anya approaches the boys at their table. Ewen and Emile assume she wants to start another fight with Damian, who tells them to be quiet. The boys think Damian will insult Anya and come up with their own insults for her. Anya hears these and begins to tearfully apologize to Damian, stunning the boys. However, Damian angrily rejects her and runs away, and Ewen and Emile quickly follow after him.

Stella Star Arc
At their dorm, Ewen and Emile approach Damian with a photo album featuring his brother, Demetrius Desmond. The two are impressed by Demetrius' accolades as an Imperial Scholar but say that Damian will become one even faster. They then inform Damian of the rumor that there is an opportunity to earn a Stella Star from their interclass dodgeball match with Wald Hall, and the three get to training. On the day of the match, most of Cecile Hall's team quickly gets eliminated by Bill Watkins, including Ewen and Emile, who block the ball from hitting Damian.

After Anya becomes the first student in their grade to earn a Stella Star, her peers begin bullying her and claim that Anya played dirty to get it. After Damian shuts them down, Ewen and Emile are impressed.

Doggy Crisis Arc
Returning to classes after the weekend, Damian and his friends are approached by Anya, who proudly proclaims that she got a dog. Damian casually responds apathetically, shocking Anya, and Ewen and Emile praise him for this feat. Damian decides to ask Anya about her dog's name, to his friends' surprise. When Anya reveals her dog does not have a name, Damian and his group quickly leave, having spent enough time wasted on her.

Midterm Exams Arc
With midterms approaching, Damian, Ewen, and Emile have already begun studying in preparation. In art class, the students are tasked with creating an animal-themed paper model, which Ewen and Emile are excited to do. Gathered in groups, Ewen sits with Damian, Anya, and another student as they begin working on their projects. Anya shows Damian a crude-looking paper model, which she says is her pet dog Bond, confusing Ewen. Eventually, Ewen finishes his project, a giraffe model that he displays in the hall along with the other students' works. Afterward, when Damian learns that his work won first prize, Ewen is quick to congratulate him.

Midterms are now closer than ever, and Henry returns the students' history quizzes. Anya receives a low mark, which Damian mocks by showing off his better grade, and Ewen and Emile join in on the teasing. After the midterm scores are officially released, the boys look for their grades, and Ewen and Emile congratulate Damian on his high grade, officially earning him a Stella Star. On the other hand, Anya barely passed, and the boys are confounded by how upbeat she is about it.

With the midterms finally over, for now, the students of Cecile Hall clean up the school courtyard. With his new Stella, Damian has gotten praise from all his classmates except for Becky, Anya, and George Glooman, the latter plotting to get him expelled. George's plan almost gets Damian in trouble had it not been for Anya's intervention. When confronted, George shares how he wanted revenge after the Desmond group bought out his family company and even compares himself to Damian. Ewen and Emile come to Damian's defense while also insulting George, making the boy break down into tears. Pitying his situation, Cecile Hall bands together to give George an emotional send-off, only for him to come back the next day and become even more of a pariah than before.

Imperial Scholars Mixer Arc
The boys gather at a bulletin displaying the upcoming Imperial Scholars mixer and discuss their plans to earn the title soon. After the weekend, they head to class, and Damian spots Anya and Becky on the way there. Damian stares at them for a moment before Ewen asks if something is wrong, but Damian quickly brushes him off.

Damian makes plans to meet with his father after the mixer, and Ewen and Emile accompany him. The boys decide to check out the venue and are stunned to see the amount of Imperial Scholars and high-profile families in attendance. Damian gets cold feet and attempts to change plans but gets stopped by Anya, who manages to convince him to go through with meeting his father. The boys head to the courtyard where the meeting will happen and bide their time by playing cards. They encounter Loid Forger, who asks if they have seen a sheep keychain nearby. Having found it earlier, they return it to the man and soon realize he is Anya's father. Just as Loid recognizes Damian and quickly seeks to make amends after the incident at orientation, Donovan arrives at the courtyard.

Ewen and Emile watch from the sidelines as Loid and the Desmonds talk. Loid mentions child-rearing and how difficult it is for him to raise Anya, and the boys all think how rough he has it. After the Desmonds are left to talk to themselves, Damian tells his father about his progress at school, including his awards and failures. Donovan tells Damian not to sully their family name, and Damian happily obliges, with Ewen and Emile cheering him on. The boys gather round and chant together to get more Stella.

After the mixer, the student dorms take the day off for a holiday. However, Damian misses morning muster and is punished, tasked with helping the dorm mother with chores. Ewen and Emile worry that Damian has been pushing himself and propose going with their dorm tutor and classmates to the movies and getting some food, but Damian continues to decline. Ewen and Emile intentionally get punished by Henry to help Damian with the chores. The boys fool around during their chores, and Henry makes them go on a field trip with their school custos, Mr. Green.

The group canoes through a current to get to a lake, and Damian ends up falling into the water. Despite neither being unable to swim, Ewen and Emile quickly jump after Damian and tell him to survive and carry on their dreams, only for Mr. Green to interrupt and point out that the water is shallow, embarrassing the boys. After reaching shore, the boys put together a fire and learn how to fish, during which Ewen and Emile learn of Damian's fear of worms and take advantage of it. After having their dinner, the group head to Stella Lake. On the way there, the boys tell Mr. Green about their future hopes and dreams, Ewen wanting to be a cosmonaut. Upon reaching Stella Lake, the boys are amazed by the view, where the stars reflect on its surface and look like they can be reached, hence the name Stella Lake. They then lie down on the ground to look at the stars together. After the boys return to their dorm, they write out a field report before going to sleep.

The boys learn about the rumored "Pastry of Knowledge" being sold at Dining Hall 2 and quickly head there to get some. They run into Anya and Becky on the way, but before either group can get the final set of macarons, George purchases it. The kids confront George and demand the macarons, reminding him what he made them do after the midterms. George concedes to give up four macarons out of the set of five macarons. They realize they have five people and decide to have a round of Old Maid to determine who gets the macarons, with the loser not receiving any. Despite having no experience with the game, Anya wins by a landslide, and Ewen and Damian accuse her of cheating.

Anya allows another round, where Ewen finds himself with the Old Maid card. After Anya takes the card, the boys make fun of her. Ewen, Emile, and Becky get rid of their cards, leaving only Anya and Damian. Damian ends up taking the loss, surprising his friends. After eating a macaron, a fired-up Anya takes their quizzes, only to get the usual low score, to no one's surprise.

Anya Forger
They have been on bad terms since the moment Anya punched Damian. Ewen tries to protect Damian from her as Ewen highly respects him and he thinks she might spread her “germs” to Damian.

Damian Desmond
He shows great respect towards Damian, as Damian is known to be the leader of their group. Regarding this, they are shown to be good friends and spend a lot of time together. Ewen calls him Lord Damian, and he usually does everything he asks for, even holding his backpack when walking to class. Despite this, he and Emile also show a mischievous streak toward him, chasing him around with an earthworm upon learning of Damian's fear.

Becky Blackbell
He is seen to be disgusted when he sees Becky with Anya. He is also on bad terms with her since she supports Anya and for being her best friend.

Emile Elman
Emile is Ewen’s friend. Both of them work with Damian and are his closest friends.
