History Characters / ParasiteEve

* PromotedToPlayable: Technically in ''3rd Birthday'' because [[spoiler:she's in Aya's body]].

* ActionGirl: Started off as a cop in the first game, becomes a specialized FBI agent in the 2nd game, and then becomes a CTI agent in the 3rd game.
* BareYourMidriff: Aya's outfit in ''3rd'' is a purple vest about one size too small.

* TheHero: The main protagonist in the first two games. [[spoiler:[[GrandTheftMe Physically speaking]], she still is during ''3rd Birthday''.]]

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Along with Eve's body to prevent the creation of the Twisted at the end of ''3rd''.]]

* ShesGotLegs: Her dress in the first game has a nice long slit up its side. Then in the second game her outfit when arriving at Dryfield has a pair of knee-high boots and some pretty short shorts that show off her fantastic legs.

* ActionSurvivor: She was a young teenager in a woman's body who had to learn fighting from scratch -- you've gotta give her credit for her tenacity.

* BodySnatcher: Unintentionally.

* DeadAllAlong: Well, her ''body'' anyway, in ''3rd''.

* {{Chickification}}: In The 3rd Birthday she is noticeably less confident and snarky taking a demure, submissive role toward her superiors, a far cry from her previous depictions in the first two games. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Except this isn’t actually Aya.]] In actuality, it’s her clone sister Eve possessing her body who lost her memory after jumping into her body in an attempt to save her from soldiers. As it turns out, the real Aya Brea is as brave and sure of herself as she already was, cooly shooting and killing Hyde Bohr as he’s about to kill Eve, snarkily quipping at him.]]

* MsFanservice: Aya is portrayed both in and out universe as a stunningly beautiful woman, [[DownplayedTrope but]] outside of official art from the first game and her black dress showing off her legs and a shower scene in the second game she isn’t heavily sexualized and wears modest and practical clothing. A subversion in The Third Birthday occurs where she can walk around in skimpy outfits and have her clothes torn to shreds, [[spoiler: but you’re not actually playing as Aya, but as Eve, her clone sister, who has possessed her body.]]

* MsFanservice: Downplayed in the first two games and subverted with The Third Birthday. Aya is portrayed as a stunningly beautiful woman, but outside of official art from the first game and her black dress showing off her legs she isn’t heavily sexualized. In The Third Birthday, she can walk around in skimpy outfits and have her clothes torn to shreds, [[spoiler: but you’re not actually playing as Aya, but as Eve, her clone sister, who has possessed her body.]]

* NiceHat: Wears a ten gallon hat.

* BadassNormal: He's pretty much a OneSceneWonder. He saves Aya from an ambush early in the game and unloads a ton of lead into the first Stranger, but sadly, he's wounded and out of commission for the rest of the game.

%%* TheGunslinger
* {{Handguns}}: Aya prefers to use handguns over other firearms available to her for ease of use and low profile sake. Even her animations look like they are done with a pistol in hand. In the first game their high speed and good damage per hit makes them reliable main weapons. 2's are significantly weaker but always have reliable ammo. [[spoiler:Her lack of this in The 3rd Birthday might be a sublte form of foreshadowing.]]

* PopCulturedBadass: ''Film/{{Casablanca}}'' and ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'' in the same sentence, while observing herself in a mirror and contemplating turning into a hundreds of years old knight. While mourning that her car was destroyed by monsters she brings up naming it Literature/{{Christine}} and, naturally, makes numerous references to ''Franchise/FinalFantasy.''

* BigDamnHero: Pulls off a spectacular one when Aya is at her wits end on how to kill the Ultimate Being. Daniel takes the special bullets Maeda made for Aya, leaps out of the helicopter, catches on fire mid fall, and hurls the magazine towards Aya (who somehow manages to catch it!) before he plummets into the ocean ''and survives''.

* CynicalMentor: Torres has little faith in Wiyne, though he wished him the best in his final YouAreInCommandNow speech.

* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:She dies in ''3rd Birthday'' while in Eve's body. Eve lives on while in Aya's body, so that may be a subversion.]]

* MsFanservice: Downplayed in the first two games and subverted with The Third Birthday. Aya is portrayed as a stunningly beautiful woman, but outside of official art from the first game she isn’t sexualized in any way. In The Third Birthday, she can walk around in skimpy outfits and have her clothes torn to shreds, [[spoiler: but you’re not actually playing as Aya, but as Eve, her clone sister.]]

* DarkActionGirl: Eve is the main antagonist of the first game and frequently comes to blows with Aya Brea, giving her trouble with her powers.

* WhoWearsShortShorts: In ''2''.

* BaldOfAwesome: Only emphasizes how badass he is on duty.

* HornedHairdo: Eve-2.

%%* HumanoidAbomination
* InstantDeathRadius: After a fashion. Eve-2 is capable of immolating/mutating/melting/what have you any organic creature close enough to her if she chooses. And "close enough" means a distance of at least several city blocks. Aya being immune to this is ability is why the police and later the army relies on her to hunt down Eve.

%%* TheVirus

* TheHero: The main protagonist in the first two games.

* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Torres dies in Winne's arms.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Nix disappears after Day 3, Cathy after Day 4, and Warner after Day 5.

%%* BadassMustache

* ClothingDamage: Like you wouldn't believe in ''3rd''. While it can be quite interesting, [[RealityEnsues the more skin Eve shows the more damage she takes]].

* GoOutWithASmile: A villainous example, [[spoiler:as after being defeated by Aya, she flashes a smile at her just before she dies, since she's already given birth to the Ultimate Being.]]

* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:She dies in ''3rd Birthday'' while on Eve's body. Eve lives on while on Aya's body, so that may be a subversion.]]

* CynicalMentor: Torres has little faith on Wayne, though he wished him the best on his final YouAreInCommandNow speech.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Torres dies on Wayne's arms.

* BadassInANiceSuit: Rupert is always well dressed...be it at the office or in the field.

* BaldOfAwesome: Only emphasizes how bad ass he is on duty.

* PromotedToPlayable: Technically in ''3rd Birthday'' because [[spoiler:she's on Aya's body]].

* ElementalPowers: Which she develops in''2''.

** Eve-1: Never thought that [[spoiler:male mitchondria]] could actually be a threat.

Anthropologist at the Museum of Natural History, who is mysteriously at work despite both the Christmas holiday and an evacuation of Manhattan following Eve's audience liquification event at Central Park. Oversaw the operations that transplanted Maya Brea's organs into Aya and Melissa, supplied Melissa with enough immunosuppressants to let the mitochondria in Maya's kidney take her over as Eve, and removed the mitochondria from his sperm to make it prime material for fertilizing the Ultimate Being. Apparently has been pulling a LongCon and considered a variety of potential organ recipients for creating the UB, as Lorraine Dollis is listed on the same HLA list that he pilfered from St. Francis Hospital.

* {{Adorkable}}: Somewhat shy and awkward, and always unflinchingly friendly and helpful.
