Asuka Langley Soryu (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

Name: Asuka Langley Soryu
Age: 14
Blood Type: A
Gender: Female
Character: Proud, strong, has a high opinion of herself

Asuka Langley Soryu, one of the main characters from Neon Genesis Evangelion, is designated as the Second Child of the Evangelion Project and pilots the red Eva Unit 02. Her genetic background is one half American, one quarter German, and one quarter Japanese; however, she is a native of Germany, and was raised there. She is a child prodigy and has an university degree as a teenager, though it is not specified what field her degree is in. She is characterized by her fiery red hair and equally fiery temper. She is NERV's most consistently competent pilot, though her skills are no match for Shinji's under the effects of his Eva's berserker mode.

Asuka is often violent and offensive of other people's space, especially Shinji's. Her feelings for him are violently suppressed by bossing him around and battering his ego, yet sexually teasing him at the same time. She initiates what is probably Shinji's first kiss.

Asuka acts in this manner because she needs to feed her voracious yet unstable ego. This is also her way of shutting others out of her life, often using her blustering character as an offensive AT Field. Her personality could also be characterized as a kind of identity reinforcement; she loudly boasts of who she is in the hope that no one will ever forget or confuse her for something she's not, a mistake which would effectively warp her identity.
