Sohryu Asuka Langley
Sohryu Asuka Langley is the 'Second Child', second chosen to pilot an
Evangelion. She is the designated Pilot of Unit-02.
Asuka is 1/4 Japanese, and 3/4 German. She came from Germany in ep. 8 with
her Eva and Kaji Ryouji. She lives with Misato and Shinji. She is very
controlling and always has to be in charge. She bosses Shinji around all the
time, and is a generally a bitch. She is egotistical, and obnoxious. Hey synchro
rate is the best, so she's very snobby about that. Her control issues stem
from a traumatic incident in her childhood, which I won't spoil for everyone
who hasn't seen the as-of-yet untranslated episodes (which I happen to own!
ha ha!). Eventually Asuka becomes unsuitable as an Eva pilot, and has to be
replaced. She pretty much snapped (I won't say why or how, because *I* hate
having things ruined for me, so you probably do too.) and her synchro rates
did a nose-dive. Then she went really crazy, and that's what happens when
you base your entire life on one thing, and lose it. Even if you hate her in
the beginning you'll sympathize with her towards the end, she is really a
tragic character.
