* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her given name was mistakenly spelled "Mari'''a'''" by the fans for years due to a misreading of the katakana, and some continue to spell it this way either out of ignorance or habit/convenience; it's actually spelled "Mari'''e'''" (マリイ).

** Averted in the extra good =[PS2]= ending, which has her and Shinji get together, and even, implicitly, have sex.

* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: In the good ending, she's wanted by the Japanese military for treason. No wonder she cannot stay with Shinji. Averted in the PS2 ending, where Makoto helps her break free cleanly from the military.

** Also averted in the extra ending added in the PS2 version, where she returns, and she and Shinji finally do get together.

** In the extra good ending added in the PS2 version, she and Shinji are heavily implied to have outright had sex.

From ''Girlfriend of Steel''/''Iron Maiden''. Mana is a new girl in Tokyo 3 who immediately becomes close to Shinji, inciting Asuka's jealousy. As her relationship with Shinji grows, it is revealed that she is a pilot for the T•RIDEN•T project, a giant mech program in competition with NERV. Shinji must evaluate his feelings for her all while deciding how to rescue her when NERV uses her as bait to lure out her former teammate and fellow pilot from hiding.

From ''Girlfriend of Steel''/''Iron Maiden''. Mana is a new girl in Tokyo 3 who immediately becomes close to Shinji, inciting Asuka's jealousy. As her relationship with Shinji grows, it is revealed that she is a pilot for the TRIDENT project, a giant mech program in competition with NERV. Shinji must evaluate his feelings for her all while deciding how to rescue her when NERV uses her as bait to lure out her former teammate and fellow pilot from hiding.

* AscendedExtra: She's one of the very few non-canon characters to reappear in another spin-off, the (''Manga/ShinjiIkariRaisingProject'').
* BecomingTheMask: She was supposed to befriend Shinji to get under his skin and steal technical data about the Evas in order to find weaknesses future TRIDENT pilots can exploit. She falls for him for real.

* CareerEndingInjury: She was discharged from the TRIDENT program after the machine's lack of any kind of inertial dampening caused her severe internal injuries.

* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Subverted. Not only were she and her teammates [[ResignationsNotAccepted not allowed to quit the military]], Mana's teammate Keita was brutally beaten when he tried to escape. Afterwards, Mana, Musashi and Keita considered hijacking their [=TRIDENTs=] and making a run for it but Mana got reassigned before that could happen and eventually tried to defect by herself.

* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: She ends up at ground zero of an N2 mine detonation. Understandably, Shinji is ''extremely'' depressed afterwards. As it is usual for this trope, Mana survived. [[HeroicSacrifice Musashi threw her into his TRIDENT's ejection capsule and launched her away just before the N2 mine hit.]]

* TykeBomb: Sort of. The JSSDF recruited her into the TRIDENT project in anticipation of a war breaking out over possession of Eva technology six years from now, when she would be 20.
* {{Unperson}}: In the good ending, Kaji and Hyuga turn her into this to protect her from the military.

[[folder:Marie Vincennes]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vincennes.png]]

Appearing only in the ([[NoExportForYou Japan-only]], and [[TheRoleplayingGame official]]) tabletop RPG ''[[http://wiki.evageeks.org/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion_RPG:_The_Nerv_White_Paper Neon Genesis Evangelion RPG: The Nerv White Paper]]'' and the published adventure within, Marie is an American Evangelion pilot who has recently arrived to Tokyo-3.
----
* TheAce: Evangelion Pilot, holds a doctorate, pretty, highly social...
* BrokenAce: ...and happens to be a BitchInSheepsClothing holding the typical laundry list of craziness that the other Pilots have.
* {{Foil}}: To Asuka. They are both GorgeousGaijin fanservice characters, incredibly smart (Marie probably a bit more because of having a PHD), are top-notch pilots, and a type of Tsundere. Except that while Asuka is the type of Tsundere that shows a mask of "I hate the world and everybody in it" in an attempt to NeverBeHurtAgain, Maria is the type of Tsundere that pretends to be nice, while in reality she dislikes pretty much everything.
* PutOnABus: The adventure where she appears has her ending up injured as collateral damage of an Angel attack and put on the hospital, where she will remain for the rest of the adventure (this, obviously, depends on whether or not the players and Game Master decide to go OffTheRails).
* SailorEarth: A pretty rare canon(-ish) version--she is the InUniverse pilot of the (canonically destroyed) American Evangelion.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her given name was mistakenly spelled "Mari'''a'''" by the fans for years due to a misreading of the katakana, and some continue to spell it this way either out of ignorance or habit/convenience; it's actually spelled "Mari'''e'''" (マリイ).
* TeenGenius: She has the same age as the other Children, and already has ''a PHD''.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it Mari''a'' or Mari''e''?

* NiceGirl: She's definitely the kind of girl Shinji deserves: she's just as kind-hearted as he is and has all the better traits from both Asuka and Rei. [[spoiler: This being Evangelion of course things can't go that smoothly for him.]]
