Rei
She started training for EVA since the E-project was in its early stages. So, she transferred
to the school when she was in her 7th grade. 1 week before Shinji arrives at NERV she was
wounded by the accident during a boot-up experiment, so at the beginning of the story, she
was hospitalized. It is suspected that the cause of the accident is that her mind was not
stable enough to control Evangelion Unit 0.
Shinji
Shinji is the son of Gendoh Ikari, the
creator of the Evas and NERV. He is
the "third child" and commands Eva
Unit 0:1. Previously having lived with
his uncle as his father went to work for
NERV, Shinji is forced to pilot the
Eva, being one of the only children
posessing this amazing ability. Some
would think this an enjoyable
experience for Shinji, but he only does
his work because it is needed to be
done. He develops a strong disliking
for his father and blames him for the
fact that he has to be thrust into this
new, painful life without any choice.
Asuka
Also known as the second children. She is also 14 years old and
she pilots Eva-02. Asuka comes from Germany but 1/4 of her is
Japanese. Unlike Rei, she is bright, motional and active but
sometimes, she is too self-confident. At first, Asuka doesn't like
Shinji-kun and laterly she seems to like him very much and that's
when classmates start calling them as a couple.
Misato
Misato Katsuragi is a 29 year old member of
NERV. Her main duties at NERV are to run the
Evangelion operations and instructions when
Gendo Ikari, the creator of them, is absent in such
a situation. In all battle situations she remains calm
at first, following what she knows in her mind.
However, many times battle situations put the
Evangelions as the weaker foe and in those Misato
resorts to what she truly feels necessary to
overcome the foe. Often times she panics at first,
and then becomes more calm after reassurance that
victory will be accomplished.
Aside from her NERV duties, Misato also offered
to be the guardian of Shinji, who decides, once
coming to NERV, not to live by himself but instead
in the company of others. Neglected by his father,
Misato takes him in as a sort of foster son.
