* GenderBender: {{Deconstructed}}. Takes a rather more realistic approach than others, focusing more on the [[ TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody effects of being trapped in the body of someone of the opposite sex]], rather than using it for fanservice.

Hasn't been updated since October 2016, though a psuedo rewrite is in the making, which can be found on the Space Battle fourms [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/a-new-perspective-on-evangelion-self-insert-evangelion-repost.935319/ here]].

* GenderBender: {{Deconstructed}}. Takes a rather more realistic approach than others.

* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: ZigZagged regarding Noriko, and DeconstructedTrope in regards to whether it's good, bad or in-between. The MC was originally an 22-year old Irish Engineer who is now in the body of a 14-year old Japanese student, but she is desperately trying to hold onto her past life, for fear of actually losing herself, so whenever something does happen that makes her remember something, she takes two steps back. She doesn't know what will happen, but if Misato's advice is taken, then her personality will be a blend of both her old life and her new one. However, her fear of losing her identity, coupled with her hormones and sexuality being warped because of her body, make her too afraid to consider if it is good or bad.

* {{Crossover}}: Kinda one with ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya''. [[spoiler: Turns out, she is not actually Haruhi. Her real name was Sakura Ikazuchi, who, [[DespairEventHorizon after her parents were killed during one of the first Eva battles]], was driven insane by grief and ''[[LossOfIdentity fully believed]] [[LostInCharacter herself to be Haruhi]]'', due to being a major fan of the series. She later forced her friends into her fantasy, forcing the characters roles onto them, as is the case with Kyon.]]

Noriko is a 14-year old Japanese student, and is the Fourth Child, pilot of Unit-03. On the surface, she appears as a normal, albeit a [[AmazonianBeauty buff]] and [[BuxomIsBetter busty]], young girl. However, underneath the surface is a 22-year old Irishman, who was given a "life transplant" in the form of transferring his soul into Noriko's wounded form following a plane crash that severely injured her. What follows is Noriko's journey to discover what it means to separate someone else's life from their own, and whether she will lose her identity in the process of gaining knowledge, or will become something greater.

* AmazonianBeauty: Noriko. She is the most physically powerful of the pilots, and is apparently [[BuxomIsBetter pretty busty]] and attractive as well.

** Kaworu should be noted as having knowledge of how Noriko ''got'' to the Evaverse, which manages to make him creepier then canon.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Rei, despite still being the stoic, shy, and reserved girl she usually is, is far more expressive towards Asuka's insults then in the Anime. It's to the point where, when Asuka begins berating her and telling Rei her emotions are fake, she starts ''quivering in anger'', but then let's go of it before anything worse can happen.

* ShrinkingViolet: Noriko. Due to being originally an Irish man and Evangelion fan, being put into a teenage girl's body and being in the Evangelion universe severely tarnished her sense of self. It's to the point where '''[[TheEeyore Shinji]]''' '''[[HeroicSelfDeprecation Ikari]]''' has more self-esteem then her.

* TheSocialExpert: '''Heavily''' [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in the case of Noriko. She has no idea what to do when it comes to the issues of the characters and is very bad at direct communication, such as when Asuka gets into an argument with her father, where, instead of Noriko trying to console her, immediately leaves once Asuka tells her to. This is a result of her belief that she would make things worse if she tried to do so, and believes it's better to do something she knows rather then what she doesn't.
* {{Tsundere}}: Noriko notes herself as one, but also thoroughly deconstructs the concept. She personally describes herself as a type-2, being mostly sweet and nice but still having a bit of fire in her once in awhile. She is ''especially'' towards this at Kaworu, for (maybe) putting her in her predicament.

* DoorStopper: It's twelve chapters in and over 150,000 words long. ''There've only been three Angels featured'' so far (the 8th, 9th and 10th, but still).

* ChildSoldiers: The Evangelion pilots. Moreso than the original series since their training is delved into in more detail.

** Noriko could also qualify, but is not exactly "covert" about it. She can't keep stop thinking about Shinji's "assets" when she sees him in his plugsuit, and masturbates only on the weekends ''at the least'' due to Asuka sleeping in, and even then she is apparently still loud enough for Asuka to notice.

* FantasticRacisim: Noriko fully believes that Kaworu is incapable of expressing actual emotions and that his feelings, especially for Shinji, are completely fake, simply because she thinks that he, as an Angel, is incapable of feeling human emotions.

* FantasticalRacisim: Noriko fully believes that Kaworu is incapable of expressing actual emotions and that his feelings, especially for Shinji, are completely fake, simply because she thinks that he, as an Angel, is incapable of feeling human emotions.

* AmazonianBeauty: Noriko. She is the most physically powerful of the pilots, and is apparently pretty busty and attractive as well.

* BerserkButton: Kaworu's very ''existence'' seems to be one for Noriko, mostly due to how he appears to be responsible for Noriko's predicament, as well as what appears to be a genuine bias towards his character, though it's not fully explained ''why'' she has this bias against him.

* MajorlyAwesome: Major Katsuragi, who orders the largest nuclear strike in fifteen years, without blinking.
* NuclearOption: After N2 Weapons fail to destroy [[spoiler:the orbiting Sahaquiel after it obliterated Minamiizu and nearly destroying Tokyo-3, with unconventional weapons doing nothing]], an attack using more powerful nuclear munitions is ordered.

** This trope is ZigZagged in the case with [[spoiler Asuka. She is caught in the mix of believing Noriko's knowledge about future events, but also doesn't fully believe her since she believes she is either brain-damaged or delusional. She comes to the compromise that, if the 11th and 12th angel are as Noriko told her, she will fully believe her.]]

* CassandraTruth: Done two times in the story:

** "7-7-7-7 7-7-7-7-{{Franchise/BATMAN}}", which is the launch code to fire Unit-03's missiles.

* CovertPervert: Asuka keeps a collection of "private" magazines beneath her bed, as well as admits that her favorite part of him is his ass.

** Shinji played a RPG about biomechs called Engels in Kensuke's club.

** "7-7-7-7 7-7-7-7-BATMAN", which is the launch code to fire Unit-03's missiles.

** "7-7-7-7 7-7-7-7-[[Franchise/Batman BATMAN]]", which is the launch code to fire Unit-03's missiles.

** "7-7-7-7 7-7-7-7-[NIFranchise/Batman BATMAN]", which is the launch code to fire Unit-03's missiles.
