* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother - Like Rei, Kei has several "children" AIs, [[FanNickname dubbed The Keiworu]]. ''The Kei Files'' introduces them, and it's revealed that she made them herself using her own mental profile [[FoeYay and Kaworu's]]. WordOfGod has it that there are hundreds of them. One of the Keiworu took over Eva MP-1 to aid Uri against Shateiel. This was incidental, however, to it protecting Kaworu, who was in Unit 06's Plug as well.

Physically the [[FanNickname Harpies]] from ''End of Evangelion'', Gregg took a hint from ''[[ExpandedUniverse Everybody Dies]]'' and had Kei insert into each one one of a single batch of Keiworu. But instead of killing machines they are...''different.''

* AdaptationalBadass - Whereas Canon!Shinji is a spineless ShrinkingViolet, this version of Shinji is the OnlySaneMan and moreover, a very capable pilot. His fainting and panic in the early chapters are presented as rational reactions.


Added DiffLines:

* [[AdaptationalNiceGuy Adaptational Nice Girl]] - Canon!Asuka is the TropeCodifier for {{Tsundere}}. ND!Asuka is TheWoobie, closer in nature to canon!Shinji. Because of this, she and Shinji are civil from the get-go and quickly fall for each otehr.

* {{Adorkable}} - Every single scene with him, Asuka, and the words, "I said that out loud, didn't I?"



* {{Adorkable}} - A rare female example. Her awkwardness with people and abortive plots are what make her adorable. It's why she and Kaworu are so cute together.



* MinionWithAnFInEvil - Which makes her [[{{Adorkable}} all the more appealing]]. Discussion in the thread has suggested that, in the ND multiverse, she is the only Ree who's never managed to sucessfully cause Instrumentality, because she chickens out every time.

* {{Adorkable}} - 00-Em, to Duae. Considering that they were produced from the neural templates of Kei and Kaworu, this can be taken to be a general trait.



* {{Adorkable}} - When he's not doing the CreepyChild schtick, his ineptitude is awkwardly endearing (if mildly cringe-worthy).
* [[AffablyEvil Affably Morally Ambiguous]][=/=]NiceGuy - While the evil part is arguable, he is incredibly polite, well spoken and borderlines on genteel (when he's not trying to seduce Rei).



* {{Adorkable}} - She's her parents' child, for better and worse. She is, admittedly, better socialised than they are, but she's still rather cutely dorky.

* HairDecorations: From her debut until the last third of Ch16, Asuka's hair is completely down, 24/7. In said chapter, Mari takes her out for a spa day, which is topped by the latter redoing Asuka's hair into its iconic TwinTails, complete with dummy contact barrettes sold by NERV as merchandise. This was part of a plot (concocted by Rei) to get Shinji's attention. It worked. Even after she became the new pilot of Unit-02, Asuka continued wearing her dummy contact barrettes at all times, likely because she likes it.

* BiTheWay - After some consideration, is quite happy to share Shinji with Zyuu.



* BiTheWay[=/=]CovertPervert: Overlaps with SingleTargetSexuality and BrotherSisterIncest. Unlike some of her other sisters, neither Shinji nor Asuka really do anything for her...but a threesome with Shinji ''and'' Asuka? That just gets her all hot under the collar.
** Normally though she only has eyes for Kaworu, even if he does ignore her for her identical twin sister most of the time.

to:

* IWantGrandkids - HornyDevils: Lilith turned out to be this. She's not only the source of all life on Earth, her Anti-AT Field has a rather interesting [[AnythingThatMoves effect]] on nearby humans. When Shinji and Asuka were going down to Terminal Dogma, they were barely halfway and already tearing the [[SensualSpandex plugsuits]] off each other. And the Ree inherited this trait. To sum up Lilith and the Ree in their own words: "Babies. [=BabiesbabiesbabiesbabiesbabiesbabiesbabiesbabiesbabiesBABIES=]!"
-->'''Yui:''' Lilith is life. Pure life. Being around Lilith makes you wish to fulfill Her desires, and what She desires is more life. Be fruitful and multiply, basically. Gendo and I found Lilith when GEHRIN traced the resonance. We were trapped in the chamber for two hours.\\

Imagine something that early Lilim wrote about, thinking it was Omnipotent, Almighty, and a vengeful God. Imagine that, and maybe you can imagine Zeruel.
** Not to mention that he takes on three Cherubim at once. He WINS, killing one of them (Turel), in the process. He then returns and murders a fourth, one that NERV was struggling against, MID-CONVERSATION, just to prove a point.
