Asuka
And it's Asuka again!
Asuka (pronounced As-ka) Langley is another Eva pilot, who 'controls' (and I use the term loosely, as it is more a kind of partnership for all of them) Eva 02, the one she claims is the first one custom built for fighting. It is red and looks somewhat like an upright dragon. She bears a slight resemblance to Kachi, as pointed out by Kachi's mother.
Asuka is also fourteen, like Rei and Shinji, but she seems far more self assured than either of them. While Shinji and Rei and both quiet people, Asuka deosn't seem to be happy unless she is causing a disturbance of some kind. When told that Shinji was the famous 'thrid child' - the one who could pilot his Eva with no training whatsoever (ignoring the fact that he passed out and the Eva fought by itself) she becomes intensely jealous, and when an Angel attacks, she makes him get into her spare pilots uniform, build for a girl, and makes him help her. They both manage to control Eva 02, sharing the same thoughts at a crucial moment so that the link level surpassed both their highs, and beat the fishy monster. All the boys had a terrible shock when they found out that they would be sharing classes with her...
This girl has one hell of a troubled past, with her mother going insane due to attempts to syncronise with an Eva and her stepmother never accepting her due to her adult nature. She never felt a close bond to her father, as she had never seen him.
