Click here for her true appearance
Yukihime is Touta's teacher and guardian, who is in reality Evangeline, a notorious daylight-walking vampire sorceress who was also an ally and master of Touta's (alleged) grandfather, the legendary Negi Springfield. Two years ago, according to his dying parents' wish, she saved Touta's life with her vampiric powers. After a bounty hunter attacks her and Touta, she vampirizes him and the pair set out, quickly hooking up with UQ Holder, the pseudo-criminal organization of immortals Yukihime founded before the start of the series with Negi.
After the end of Negima!, she seems to be all alone again after seemingly outliving its cast. She views immortality as a curse. Has considerably mellowed out, ditching much of her hammy "evil villain" persona and spending most of her time in adult form.
For her previous appearance in Negima! Magister Negi Magi, check the series' respective Characters Page.
- Action Mom: Eva effectively serves as Touta's adoptive mother and she pulls no punches on anyone, especially when the boy himself may be in danger.
- Actually Not a Vampire: Despite being known as a Shinso/True Ancestor vampire, Yukihime identifies herself as a fake High Daylight Walker, able to hold her own against the real deal but still inferior. In truth she's a human girl whom the Life-Maker turned into a replica of the Vampire Nobility. The High Daylight Walkers note that she is as close to them in terms of healing factor and power as possible, but remains human at heart.
- Adaptational Romance Downgrade: The 12 episode anime removes nearly all the romantic content between her and Touta, keeping their relationship strictly familial compared to the manga. This is largely a result of Dana's training arc getting relegated to an OVA, therefore Touta's Time-Travel Romance with Yukihime's past self wasn't covered in the anime proper.
- Aesop Amnesia: Her most obvious Character Development in Negima was about accepting that she could make bonds with both mortals and other ageless beings and show to care about them despite her Noble Demon status and murderous past. In UQ Holder, she tells Touta it's meaningless for immortals to befriend mortals because outliving most of 3-A jaded her yet again. Her relationships with other immortals aren't any better since Yukihime neglects and barely socializes with the UQ Numbers or her ageless ex-classmates, including those who are supposed to be very close to her like her former personal assistants Chachamaru and Karin. Pretty much the only bonds she really pays attention to now are the ones she has with Touta and Negi.
- Affectionate Nickname: Dana and Touta call her "Kitty" when speaking to her past self. A flashback shows her parents called her that too.
- Afraid to Hold the Baby: She was nervous when Touta's surrogate mother let her hold a newborn Touta, fearing that she could break him.
- All-Powerful Bystander: Despite being UQ Holder's top dog, Yukihime rarely participates in the battlefield and just sits on the sidelines while Touta and the lower Numbers fight the bad guys.
- Anguished Declaration of Love: She doesn't say it directly, but Eva says something in this direction after she learns of Negi's plan to defeat Ialda with a Suicide Attack. It ends with both of them in tears and a Now or Never Kiss.
- The Archmage: According to Karin, Yukihime was the most powerful mage of both worlds back in the 16th century. Nowadays, she's on par with Fate who is currently known as the most powerful mage on the solar system.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: She gave this impression while using a Godzilla-sized projection of herself when she unleashed her ultimate freezing spell on the Magic World's invasion army.
- Barrier Maiden: In the Time Skip arc, it's revealed that UQ Holder went to fight Ialda at Pluto to stop her from casting the spell that'll trap the universe in a Lotus-Eater Machine, but without Touta to finish Ialda off, Yukihime becomes the new vessel and holds Ialda back for 45 years until Touta returns.
- Beautiful Dreamer: Touta blushes as he watches a younger Yukihime's sleeping face.
- Because You Were Nice to Me: Touta was the first person who treated her with kindness ever since the Life-Maker turned her into an immortal and his words of encouragement helped her find the will to live. He became her First Love and she wanted to see him again no matter how many years passed for her.
- Being Evil Sucks: She became the universally hated Demon Queen after she continually massacred the enemies she attracted to herself. And she hates herself for it. Touta even points out Yukihime's past self was acting like a pathetic loser instead of a great villainess.
- Betty and Veronica: Both Yukihime and Kuroumaru have been teased with Touta throughout the manga. Yukihime is the Veronica (volatile, tsundere, and sexy) and Kuroumaru is the Betty (steady, nice, and cute). Yukihime is a 700-year-old vampiress whose relationship with Touta is absurdly convoluted due to him being both her adopted son and First Love because of time travel shenanigans, along with the other controversial fact that she was also in love with his great-grandfather and grandfather. Touta spends a large portion of the manga hung up on her, since he's projecting his feelings for her past self onto her current self, but Yukihime doesn't want to commit to him or anyone until Negi is freed from the Big Bad's control.
- Big Good: The undisputed leader of the titular organization, who gives missions to the heroes and their superiors and help them against foes too powerful for them. Ironically, she ends up possessed by the Big Bad and becomes the villains' leader in the final battle.
- Breast Expansion: Dana toys around with Yukihime's adult form, making her breasts and butt grow ridiculously to give her the appearance of a fertility goddess.
- Broken Bird: Yukihime has given up on ever finding long-lasting happiness after centuries of causing bloodshed and tragedy hitting the few people she grew to care about. Touta wants to try and change that.
- Bully Hunter: Back in the 15th century, Evangeline fought off mage "bullies" from Mars who wanted to oppress Earthlings.
- Bullying a Dragon: How she became The Dreaded. Because of the Life-Maker's experiments and Dana's Training from Hell, Yukihime was made into an uber-powerful immortal mage. After she fought off evil mages, people started persecuting Yukihime because No Good Deed Goes Unpunished and any person who attacked her got killed by her. Nobody seemed to learn it was a terrible idea to mess with Yukihime and this went on for centuries. As Dana pointed out, Yukihime's torment would have ended if she hasn't been too powerful for anyone to kill her.
- Buxom Beauty Standard: Her adult form has an impressive bust thanks to Dana, which is often noted on, since as Evangeline she used to have Petite Pride.
- Cartwright Curse: Nagi, who she loved, was possessed by the Life-Maker. She eventually fell in love with Negi, but he also ended up being possessed by Ialda. She tries to keep Touta away from danger, who turns out to be her First Love due to time travel shenanigans, for this reason, and even then, he ends up transforming himself into a World Tree for 43 years to save the world.
- Combat Pragmatist: She instantly impales Kuroumaru for trying to attack Touta. No warning, no non-lethal attacks attempted.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Being vampirized by the Life-Maker at the age of ten, an initially powerless Eva suffered hunger, pain and solitude for hundreds of years. Her acts of self-defense gave her the reputation of an evil mage, and her times of happiness were fleeting and short. She fell in love, but both men she loved (Nagi and Negi) ended up being possessed by the one was responsible for her immortal life in the first place.
- Dark Is Not Evil: In Karin's flashback of the late 15th century, Yukihime dressed in a black gothic dress. Contrary to what most people think of Yukihime, she was a hero who stopped an invasion of Martian mages that wanted to conquer Earth. Her actions as a Terror Hero, however, earned her a high bounty and the fear of the entire mage society.
- Daywalking Vampire: She is a vampire that does not fear sunlight the slightest. However, Yukihime reveals she's not a real High Daylight Walker, but was created.
- Demonic Possession: Due to Touta not being able to join UQ Holder's first battle at Pluto, Yukihime became possessed by the Lifemaker after Negi's death.
- Deus Exit Machina: Yukihime is one of the most powerful mages in the two worlds and the top-ranking member of UQ Holder. To keep up some tension with the villains in early arcs, Yukihime's job as the head of the immortal organization requires her to stay at the headquarters to do paperwork while Touta and his group are out on missions.
- Deuteragonist: Despite not participating in the plot except for special occasions, Yukihime is just as relevant to the Myth Arc as Touta is. Once the Life-Maker becomes a more present threat, a lot of time is used to explore Yukihime's origins and the circumstances that gave her the misconceived reputation of an evil mage. She also has the deepest connection to both Touta and Negi and just like the two of them, she's directly linked to the Big Bad since the Mage of the Beginning was the one who made Yukihime immortal.
- Devoted to You: Yukihime is prone to inspiring devotion from her admirers. Touta makes it his main goal to make Yukihime happy and Karin has been staunchly loyal to Yukihime for the past 600 years.
- Don't Call Me "Sir": During the Middle Ages, she told Karin to drop the "-sama" honorific when addressing her, but Karin keeps doing it even now anyway.
- Don't Look At Me: Her past self couldn't bare to face Touta after he sees her in the middle of her reign as "Demon Queen" due to the massive amount of death and destruction she caused.
- Don't You Dare Pity Me!: When Touta peeks at her sad memories by accident, Yukihime's younger self gets so pissed that she physically attacks him and runs away from him, telling him she doesn't want his pity.
- Dual Age Modes: In this series, she uses magical pills to spend most of her time in adult form, only going back to her real child form on occasion.
- Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Her new adult form is considerably different from her previous adult form in Negima. She has a different hairstyle and slightly different facial structure. Her dressing style is far less showy. This design is also better in proportions.
- Elegant Gothic Lolita: Downplayed, compared to her appearance in Negima. Since she has had Nagi's Infernus Scholasticus curse lifted from her prior to the events of UQ, she's seen most of the time in her adult form. When she does appear in her true form, she wears a white blouse-black skirt number, with enough frilly accents to still qualify for the trope (See her other sidepic.)
- Elemental Eye Colors: Blue, as befits an ice mage.
- Eternal Love:
- Yukihime fell in love with Negi after he became immortal like her and he reciprocated those feelings. Yukihime suggested him to forget all about the problems of mortals and spend eternity together with her as fellow members of the "Monster Club", but he turned her down to do everything he could to defeat the Mage of the Beginning.
- In the final chapter, Yukihime and Touta become immortal lovers upon reuniting after twelve thousand years of separation.
- Everyone Loves Blondes: Yukihime is an attractive blonde woman with a curvy body everyone finds irresistible. She has gained the affections of the three popular Springfield guys and has at least one female admirer.
- Evil Wears Black: Invoked. In the past, Yukihime wore a black gothic dress to fit the image of the evil Demon Queen she built for herself after she killed countless people (even if she did it because they tried to kill her first).
- Florence Nightingale Effect: Chapter 149 reveals that Negi, who suffered from magical poisoning after his fight with Ialda, was treated by Eva and spent several months at her cottage to heal. During that time, the two of them grew closer and it's implied that this was when Eva grew to love him romantically.
- The Fog of Ages: Her younger self completely forgot all about Touta and their promise to meet again after 287 years of killing the people hunting her down. She does remember everything when Touta goes to see her in the past.
- Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: Even more so than in the previous series. Yukihime doesn't hide her good nature with the "evil vampire mage" act anymore and has become more approachable because of the influence of Negi and 3-A.
- From a Single Cell: Even if her entire body is reduced to a pool of blood, she can still fully recover very rapidly (although she gets reduced to a Fun Size form first).
- From Nobody to Nightmare: Yukihime was originally a simple peasant girl until the Life-Maker made her into an artificial High Daylight Walker and mages from the Magic World burned her hometown to the ground. In a matter of a few centuries, she became one of the most powerful and feared mages in existence.
- Fun Size: When Ba'al eviscerates her entire body, she eventually reforms as a tiny version of herself as detailed under From a Single Cell above. When Jinbei mentions that it's a good look for her, Eva is not amused.
- Good Girl Gone Bad: She originally was a good-hearted little girl. Then she made herself into the enemy of the magic society and began killing anyone who attacked her, which only earned her more and more enemies. A few hundreds of years later, she has become an infamous villainess and a shell of her former self.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Blonde hair, and despite her claims actually a very kindhearted person.
- Hair Reboot: Her immortality extends to her hair as well. If it gets cut short when she's decapitated, it grows back to its original length in no time.
- Has a Type: In her own words, she has "loved three men in seven hundred years". Nagi and Negi are described by many as being complete opposites yet she fell for both of them. Then you add Touta and her preference becomes clear; heroic men from the Springfield family.
- Healing Factor: Even after her healing factor is suppressed and she gets chopped to pieces in the first chapter, she's still fine again before too much longer.
- Heartbroken Badass: She might be a powerful 700-year-old sorceress, but Yukihime is deeply heartbroken by Negi, the man she fell in love with, being trapped in a Fate Worse than Death as the Life-Maker's host.
- Hero of Another Story: Late in the 15th century, Yukihime stopped an invasion of evil mages from the Magic World that tried to conquer Europe and had an overwhelmingly powerful High Daylight Walker on their side. Karin's flashback gives a summarized version of the decades she and Jinbei fought alongside Yukihime.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: Yukihime is actually a very nice person and founded an organization that has saved Earth multiple times and in general helps out the oppressed, the poor and outcasts. Yet she is generally known as an evil mage who killed hundreds of people (which is true), though as flashbacks reveal, she started attracting enemies after killing a bunch of evil wizards, the other deaths were done in self-defense, she avoided killing women and children and usually tried to only incapacitate her attackers before seriously killing them.
- Heroic Self-Deprecation: She constantly calls herself an evil mage who doesn't deserve true happiness, despite the fact that she is far kinder than she cares to admit. She has killed, but never out of malice and only to defend herself or to help others. Her classmates, Negi and later on Touta have to remind her that she is deep in her heart good-natured.
- I Am a Monster: She believes herself to be an evil monster after centuries of bloodshed to protect herself from those after her head.
- I Hate You, Vampire Dad: She has some very bad blood with the Life-Maker, the one who took her away from her family and turned her into a vampire through some immortality experiments.
- I Have Many Names: All those names she earned during her appearances in Negima carry over to her, long after the end of the said story.
- I Just Want to Be Loved: In a moment of vulnerability, she admits that she dearly wishes for someone that could "walk with her under the blue sky forever". Originally, that person was Touta, her First Love via Time Travel. Later, she wanted to be loved by Nagi and then by Negi, but they were possessed by the Life-Maker. Ironically, now that she's in the same time period as Touta, Yukihime is too hung up on Negi to accept Touta's love she once wished so badly.
- I Love You, Vampire Son:
- A literal example since she's Touta's adoptive mother, also it later turns out they were other's First Love due to Time-Travel Romance.
- She has a more straightforward example with Negi, who was turned into an immortal demon by her Magia Erebea. Yukihime fell in love with Negi and indirectly offered him Eternal Love with her. While Negi did reciprocate her feelings, he turned her down to focus on trying to save the world.
- I "Uh" You, Too: She never directly tells Negi that she loves him. She does angrily tell him though that she wants him to be happy, "on behalf of her classmates", with tears in her eyes the night before Negi's second attempt to defeat Ialda, this time by sacrificing himself. The two of them, now both crying, then kiss.
- I Will Wait for You:
- Every time Touta met with her at Dana's castle, Yukihime's past self had to wait several years for the next chance to see him again. While waiting for 287 years, Kitty forgot about Touta, but she remembered him the moment Touta literally punched his way into the past to see her. Sadly, they couldn't have a happy reunion because Kitty was too ashamed of her murderous actions as the Demon Queen to face Touta. After he was forced to leave the past, Kitty apparently spent the following centuries waiting for her next chance to see Touta again.
- Before Touta transforms into a World Tree to save Earth, Yukihime promises she'll wait as many years needed for him to come back.
- An Ice Person: Retains her affinity for Ice magic. True to the pun, she's also a nice person.
- Immortal Immaturity: She has lived for 700 years and while she looks and acts like an adult most of the time, Yukihime can occasionally flip back to acting like a grade-schooler when she's in her real child form, especially during her Ship Tease moments with Touta.
- Immortality Bisexuality: When quizzed by her classmates on who she's dated in the past, she puts up an obvious lie that she's dated hundreds of men and women when the reality is that she's only loved the Springfield line of men. She doesn't return Karin's affections but at the same time is okay with kissing her.
- Incompatible Orientation: She doesn't seem to be into girls, much to Karin's dismay.
- Insult of Endearment: When discussing her former 3-A classmates, she almost always refers to them as "brats" or "idiots" but it's clear she thinks the world of all of them and would gladly return to those days if she could.
- Jerkass Ball: She usually acts mellow to contrast her abrasive self from Negima, but there's still moments where she can turn into a jerk for the sake of the plot. Like when she left Jinbei trapped at UQ Holder's underground cavern for two years over petty reasons so he could be there to help Touta pass the entry test and later, Yukihime coldly tells Touta she doesn't need him which makes him develop a "Well Done, Son" Guy complex and drives him to run away from the headquarters.
- Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: In Karin's flashback, Yukihime wears a fancy Elegant Gothic Lolita dress when she goes all out against a true High Daylight Walker and encases the military of the Magic World in ice.
- Kid from the Future: Inverted. Because Dana's castle is a Place Beyond Time, Yukihime's younger self Kitty keeps running into Touta, unaware that he's her foster son from the future. It only gets weirder when they find themselves in a peculiar Time-Travel Romance.
- Kid with the Leash: Implied to be this for Karin. She decides not to rip a man apart only because Yukihime would get mad.
- Kill It with Ice: As an ice mage, this is a preferred method of Yukihime's to take out her enemies.
- Kill the Ones You Love: Her plan to "save" her lost love Negi from a Fate Worse than Death is to kill him, to at least set him free from the Life-Maker's torment.
- Killing in Self-Defense: She killed many people in the Middle Ages, but they all kind of asked for it by picking a fight with her first.
- Kung-Fu Wizard: She has incredible power and mastery of magic, and she is a formidable fighter fighting with her bare hands and feet.
- Large Ham: Still indulges in playing the cheesy Saturday morning cartoon villain every so often, albeit far less.
- Last Girl Wins: In the timeline A, Eva ended up as Negi's de facto love interest by elimination. After the loss of Asuna, Chisame, Nodoka and Yue, Eva was the only close person Negi had left. She was well aware Negi came to her because she was "leftovers", but she didn't mind.
- Living Emotional Crutch: Before meeting Yukihime, Karin spent centuries wandering aimlessly and feeling like the most worthless garbage in the world. Being useful to Yukihime is the only purpose Karin sees to herself. In fact, around 500 years ago, Yukihime wanted Karin to stop depending on her and told her to find her own path, but Karin chose to be Yukihime's follower to the end.
- Lost Food Grievance: She threw Jinbei down the HQ's underground cave because he finished off her Okinawan sake and half-eaten yakitori.
- Love Father, Love Son: Evangeline eventually shifted her affections from Nagi to his son, Negi. Then to Touta, Negi's grandson, though this is a twisted case, since time travel caused her to fall for Touta first. Touta accuses her of fickleness for this reason, which provokes an immediate response from her.Evangeline: I've loved three men in seven hundred years. I'd say that's pretty darn faithful!
- Loving a Shadow: It's implied Evangeline's attraction to Nagi stemmed from him being an Idiot Hero like Touta, her First Love via Time Travel. This was not the case with Negi, though.
- Mama Bear: Biological son or not, you do not try to attack Touta while Yukihime is anywhere nearby.
- Marionette Master: Back in the Middle Ages, she could control an army of puppets and used them to fight off the Magic World's forces. Nowadays, she never uses that magic anymore.
- Merlin and Nimue: Evangeline was Negi's master in magic. She eventually fell in love with him and the two had a romantic relationship. Negi also ended up being the person that freed Eva from her School Hell curse that Nagi put on her, but was never able to remove, as he was possessed by the Life-Maker. As a final act of love, she intends to deliver a Mercy Kill to him and free him from Ialda's possession.
- The Mourning After: In a sense. Negi isn't dead, but trapped in a Fate Worse than Death as the current host of the Life-Maker. She says to Touta that she still loves Negi and can never love another man until she frees Negi from the Mage of Beginning. It's only after she sees Negi freed from the Life-Maker and being told that he lived out the rest of his days happily, that she gets closure.
- Ms. Fanservice: Yukihime is considered the sexiest woman around in-story and the manga takes the chance to show off her curvy figure whenever it can.
- My Beloved Smother: She forbids Touta to participate in the Mahora Martial Arts Tournament, after learning that Negi would participate, and gives Touta strict orders to not leave the UQ Holder headquarters for the next year until she and Fate resolve the matter with Negi. She later admits that she was overprotective of him.
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Around 600 years ago, Yukihime fought off evil Magic World mages that were invading Europe and attacked defenseless villages, including her hometown. Thanks to Yukihime's immense magic power, she managed to singlehandedly stop the invasion and leave the Magic World military too scared of her to ever attempt to take over Earth ever again. Unfortunately, her actions also made the entire population of the Magic World absolutely terrified of her to the point she became their equivalent of the boogeyman and Corrupt Politicians put a bounty worth of millions on her head. Yukihime spent the following centuries constantly in the run, had to keep killing the enemies who wanted her dead and everyone in both worlds either hated or feared her.
- An Odd Place to Sleep: Touta one time finds Yukihime's younger self sleeping on a railing at Dana's floating castle.
- Old Flame Fizzle: An extremely convoluted example. Turns out Touta is Yukihime's First Love due to him meeting her younger self at Dana's castle that connected their time periods. Yukihime rejects Touta's marriage proposal in the present, but Touta still has some lingering feelings for Yukihime's past self and pines after her for a chunk of the series.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Everyone refers to her as Yukihime, including those who have known her since long before she called herself that like Fate, Karin and her former classmates of 3-A. It's rare for anyone to call her Evangeline.
- Our Vampires Are Different: An artificial vampire created through magical experiments to replicate the High Daylight Walkers. She lacks virtually all traditional vampiric weaknesses, can go under the sun without troubles, and can eat normal food, but remains an undead, ageless, blood-drinking immortal.
- Out of Focus: Despite being labeled a main character, Yukihime gets sidelined from the main plot unless the Life-Maker and Negi are directly involved. There's also little panel time devoted to her until much later parts of the manga and even then, she mostly stays in the background while characters like Kirie take the spotlight.
- Parental Substitute: She's apparently Touta's legal guardian and is the only mother figure he has ever known due to his lack of memories from before Yukihime took him in. Its later revealed, she's more than a "substitute" — she's one of Touta's creators.
- Past Experience Nightmare: Her younger self has a nightmare about the Lifemaker taking her away from her parents, finding her hometown burning after escaping, and wandering aimlessly in a lonely landscape.
- Person of Mass Destruction: Back in the 16th century, she froze up the entire military of the Magic World with a single spell.
- Pining After Protagonist's Parent: Like in the original series, Evangeline is holding the torch for the main character's parent. This time she's pining after Negi instead of Nagi and is looking after Negi's "grandson"/clone Touta.
- Pretending to Be One's Own Relative: Yukihime's younger self Kitty claims to be a distant relative of the Evangeline Touta knows in their first meeting. Touta realizes Kitty really is Evangeline from 700 years in the past when he spies on her memories by accident.
- Rank Scales with Asskicking: The most powerful UQ Number and the undisputed leader. (Though Nikitis and Juuzou reach her level.) She might get a bit rusted by administrative leading compared to her heydays, but make no mistake she is as terrifyingly powerful as ever, freezing an entire citadel in everlasting ice with little to no effort.
- Really 700 Years Old: Though she seems like a young woman, (and has a body of a 10-year-old in her true form) she was actually born in the Middle Ages.
- Relationship Upgrade: Played With. Back in Negima, her relationship with Negi was primarily master-apprentice with quite a bit of Ship Tease on the side, but it never went beyond just that. In the UQ Holder timeline, they eventually developed romantic feelings for each other, but the circumstances were fraught with a lot of baggage: Negi had already lost Yue, Nodoka, and Chisame to the Life-Maker, not to mention hadn't fully gotten over Asuna's absence from his life. This, combined with dire situation with the Life-Maker still on the loose meant Negi was too focused on trying to save the world to form a stable relationship with Yukihime. Then, he himself got possessed by the Life-Maker, which effectively ruined all possibility for their romance.
- Retcon:
- In Negima, Evangeline was a nobleman's daughter until her tenth birthday where she awoke as a vampire and apparently killed her own family with her fangs, after which she killed the one who vampirized her in revenge. Her backstory was completely altered in UQ Holder. For starters, instead of nobility, Evangeline was originally a peasant girl from a small village. One day, the Life-Maker brought her to a castle and transformed her into an artificial High Daylight Walker through some sort of experiment. After she escaped from the castle, she found that Magic World mages burned down her village and killed her parents.
- The flashback scenes of the pilot chapter show that Touta needed to learn how to cook because Yukihime's dishes were way over-spiced. Over a hundred chapters later, another flashback shows Yukihime cooking decently before she started living with Touta, when she prepared medicinal food for Negi, to help him heal from magical poisoning that he suffered from.
- Second Love: In timeline A, Negi first had a crush on Chisame that went nowhere and then he entered a three-way relationship with Nodoka and Yue. After he tragically lost the three to the Life-Maker, he fell for Eva.
- Seen It All: Due to her age and after everything she went through in her life, there is nothing that really makes Yukihime lose her nerves, with a few exceptions.
- Shameless Fanservice Girl: Zig-Zagged. She doesn't care to walk around naked in her adult body and is more than happy to show herself off to Touta, but she does get embarrassed when Touta sees her real child body naked.
- She Cleans Up Nicely: The first time Touta sees Yukihime's younger self at Dana's castle, she's wearing nothing but a ragged cloak. She later discards it for a fancy dress and Touta says she looks cute in it.
- Shipper on Deck: She's supportive of her fellow Numbers, Kuromaru, Kirie, and Karin, deepening their relationships with Touta.
- Shoo the Dog: After 120 years of traveling together, Yukihime told Karin to go separate ways because Yukihime was being constantly hunted as a criminal for stopping the Martian mages' invasion on Earth. She didn't want to keep dragging Karin down with her and thought it was best for Karin to find her own path. Karin refused, but she was still forcibly separated from Yukihime after an evil High Daylight Walker trapped her inside a World Tree. Yukihime could not free Karin until UQ Holder was formed.
- Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Yukihime has a thing for heroic men, specifically those of the Springfield family. In the Middle Ages, she fell for the cheerful and optimistic Touta because he promised her she would find happiness if she lived on. Centuries later, she began pursuing the similarly carefree Nagi after he saved her and treated her nicely despite her being a feared criminal. Finally, she fell in love with the gentle, caring and absurdly selfless Negi.
- Sleep-Mode Size: In Karin's flashback, Eva shrunk down to a cute Super-Deformed version of herself after a very bad first encounter with Ba'al. She would return to normal after spending a few days recovering her power.
- Star-Crossed Lovers: With Negi. They developed romantic feelings for each other, but Yukihime couldn't stop Negi from shouldering himself with the mission of saving the world at the cost of his own happiness. In the end, Negi's efforts ended in failure and has become the Life-Maker's newest host. As a final act of love, Yukihime plans to give Negi a Mercy Kill and then use a suicide spell to kill herself along the Life-Maker. However, Yukihime only succeeded in the first part and ended up merely replacing Negi as the villain's vessel. In the Final Battle, she sees him freed, and has only a few seconds to confess her love for him before disintegrating with Ialda. She gets revived 12 thousand years later, long after Negi, who had renounced his immortality, passed away in the interim. Yukihime does get closure upon being told that Negi had lived out the rest of his days in peace.
- Stepford Smiler: Depressed type. While she's usually smiling and acts affable, she was really left grief-stricken after Negi became possessed by the Life-Maker. She also hides a lot of self-loathing caused by the countless murders she committed in the past. Touta wants to make possible that Yukihime can smile as if she means it.
- Stephen Ulysses Perhero: The 'Athanasia' in her real name is linked to immortality.
- Street Performer: She says she made a living as a street dancer during her solitary travels in the past.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Her Yukihime appearance looks almost identical to what we see of her mother in flashbacks. Given she was playing the role of mother for Touta, this was probably intentional on her part.
- Supernaturally Young Parent: While she's Really 700 Years Old and normally looks like an adult, Yukihime's true form is that of a ten-year-old girl (having been turned into a vampire at that age). Meanwhile, her adopted son Touta is an Artificial Human created merely four years ago and had his physical growth accelerated and permanently stopped at twelve years.
- Sympathetic Murder Backstory: Centuries ago, Yukihime murdered hundreds, which gained her a reputation as one of the evilest mages ever. The truth is Yukihime only went after evil Martian mages that were invading Europe and any killing besides that were acts of self-defense from those seeking revenge. Yukihime never took pleasure in murder, but still believes she has to be an irredeemable villainess for taking so many lives.
- The Tease: She still enjoys showing off her adult form's sex appeal whenever she gets the chance. She's very annoyed at Touta's lack of interest in seeing her naked. When she finally does get a flustered reaction out of him, she happily offers him to look at her naked body all he wants only to see him more embarrassed.
- Terror Hero: The reason for her infamy is because during a negotiation with Megalo-Mesembria, the politicians tried to kill her. She anticipates this, evades their trap, swears retribution against any aggression towards Earth, and wipes out their army. The anti-invasion faction of Megalo-Mesembria ended up gaining traction as a result of public fear of Evangeline.
- Time-Travel Romance: Her younger self meets Touta during his training at Dana's extradimensional castle and the two fall for each other. She later figures out he comes from a different time period from her and is saddened by the fact they cannot be together like that. For
Squick side effect, she crushed on Touta unaware that he's her future adopted son. - Took a Level in Kindness: Her abrasive personality traits from the previous series are basically gone since her time with Class 3-A and raising Negi's grandson mellowed her out a lot.
- Touched by Vorlons: She was a human child who was transformed into an artificial vampire by the Mage of the Beginning's immortality experiments.
- Trauma Conga Line: When she was only ten years old, Yukihime was taken away from her parents and the Mage of the Beginning used her as a test subject to replicate the immortality of the High Daylight Walkers. She managed to escape only to find that her hometown was set on fire by mages from the Magic World. She then wandered across medieval Europe without anywhere to go and wishing she could die but being unable to. The Witch of the Rift Dana kidnapped her and trapped her in her castle at the Void Between the Worlds. While trying to kill Dana, she met with Touta who came from 700 years in the future. He became her First Love, but he kept disappearing and she could only see him briefly every few years. After finishing her training with Dana, Yukihime started to chase off the Magic World mages that destroyed her village and while she did stop their invasion, her actions made her known as a terrifying villain in the magic community. To make it worse, her only loyal ally was turned into a World Tree by an enemy High Daylight Walker who wanted to see Yukihime in despair. She spent the following centuries all alone, always in the run and being attacked by those who wanted to take revenge on her. She finally met Nagi and fell for him because of his kindness and resemblance to Touta, which caused Yukihime to chase after him all the way to Japan where he left her trapped at a school to keep her from bugging him. Years later, Yukihime found a bit of happiness by spending time with Class 3-A, ultimately falling in love with their teacher Negi. However, most of her classmates grew old without her and in some cases, they got sealed away, turned into human puppets or brutally murdered. The last nail in the coffin was her beloved Negi becoming possessed by the Mage of the Beginning.
- Tsundere: Generally averted as Yukihime overall lacks the tsundere traits she had as Evangeline in the previous series. At most, she can display shades of tsun-tsun towards Touta in the rare occasions where her old self Kitty resurfaces because Kitty had a crush on a time-travelling Touta.
- Played straight in full force within the flashback of timeline A. With Asuna sealed away and Chisame dead, Evangeline was the only one who would get angry at Negi when he beat himself up over his failures and she pretty much threatened him into letting her take care of him. Naturally, it was in this timeline where she completely fell in love with him.
- Vain Sorceress: She's eternally stuck as a ten-year-old little girl. To make up for this, she uses magic pills to obtain the body of a sexy adult woman.
- Vampire Dance: Her younger self performs a little ballet show for Touta who is so entranced by it that he thinks Kitty looks like an angel instead of a vampire.
- What You Are in the Dark: In Chapter 149, in a flashback, Negi just suffered from a Heroic BSoD and sleeps on her bed. She caresses his hair, and Chachazero just had to kill the mood by suggesting that Eva should go ahead and do something dirty with him, since he is the son of her love, Nagi. She ends up just reading a book until Negi wakes up.
- When She Smiles: Shows one when we are given a different perspective of the time when she lectured Negi before his battle with Chao, and kissed him, showing a genuine smile after touching her lips when she walked away.
- Who Wants to Live Forever?: She's become disillusioned with immortality after outliving most of her friends from Mahora. Even when she had recently been turned immortal, Yukihime saw immortality as a never-ending hell. Touta seems insistent on snapping her out of it, though.
- Wife Husbandry: Played with. Yukihime raised Touta, who eventually fell in love with her, but his feelings for her only really started to develop when he met her past self. They become lovers in the epilogue.
- Winter Royal Lady: Her alias Yukihime literally translates to "Snow Princess", attributing to her ice magic and how she's venerated like a queen by her subordinates. However, she's not true royalty given that her parents were peasants.
- Worf Had the Flu: Her brutal defeat at hands of a bounty hunter in the first chapter/episode doesn't do justice to her legendary reputation as terrifyingly powerful archmage. This actually happened because her magic was temporarily nullified by the bounty hunter's bracelet and she prioritized protecting Touta before herself. The rest of her fights in the series do show she's still an exceptional sorceress, even though she still doesn't get to shine in the battlefield often.
- You Killed My Father: Mages from the Magic World set her hometown on fire and killed her parents. Seeking revenge, she started a small war against the invader mages to drive them out of Earth.
