| 15 | The player character of the game, an android soldier and the last survivor of the 7th Airborne Division. |
| 16 | ---- |
| 17 | * EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:Her FusionDance with Adam gives her the power to take on a Mother Sphere-controlled Providence.]] |
| 18 | %%* ActionGirl: What she was built to be. |
| 19 | * TheAce: Even when she was a rookie, she was already a master swordswoman who could keep up with her mentor figure Tachy during her first time out on the field and, alongside Tachy herself, was clearly the best fighter among her Division. [[spoiler:When she is forced to battle Alpha Tachy, EVE has gained so many new skills that she straight up bests her upgraded mentor in a final duel and gives her a MercyKill. She also gains a OneWingedAngel power up known as Tachy Mode.]] |
| 20 | * BadassAdorable: Look no further than every time she finds a ''drinking can…'' and dramatically poses with it. |
| 21 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Is as sweet as can be towards her friends and allies, while being an absolute menace in combat and those who cross her. [[spoiler: Raven learns the hard way ala FateWorseThanDeath.]] |
| 22 | * BigGood: [[spoiler:By the end of the game, assuming she accepted Adam's offer to merge with her, she has become the protector of all those living in Xion.]] |
| 23 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: |
| 24 | ** She fully believes in the Colony's mission to protect and save humanity, seeing no problem with helping anyone she sees is in trouble, at least should the player do the side quests. This is most notable in an early side quest when she asks Lily to repair Enya; the engineer reminds her that they still have a mission to track down and kill the Alpha and Elder Naytibas, but EVE insists that she wants the wary inhabitants of Xion to believe in their mission, to which Lily relents. When Enya gets fixed, she says she doesn't have anything to repay EVE with, only to be told that her singing is enough. |
| 25 | ** After installing the second Hyper Cell, EVE can wander through town and be called by a Scavenger to rescue his sister being kidnapped by other Scavengers. She doesn't hesitate to dash through an alley, [[TheFarmerAndTheViper only for it to be a trap where EVE is surprised by a knife disabling her, and the Scavengers revealing they actually want her augments]]. Thankfully, [[BigDamnHeroes Adam comes in to take them down and rescues EVE]]. |
| 26 | * CombatHaircomb: EVE's sword serves as a hair accessory, being a collection of interlocking metallic bars that hang from the top of her ponytail. It can [[SwissArmyWeapon also serve as a surf and a rope ascender]]. |
| 27 | * CruelMercy: [[spoiler:After defeating Raven, instead of killing her, she instead cuts off both of her arms and disables her combat implants, making it so that she can no longer fight and forces her to watch what will happen, knowing she can't do anything about it. Raven makes it perfectly clear that she would have preferred if Eve had just killed her.]] |
| 28 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: One could interpret Roxanne's dialogue as hitting on her ''mercilessly'' every time they interact. EVE [[IncompatibleOrientation doesn't reciprocate]], getting annoyed and calling Roxanne weird for flirting with her, with Roxanne lamenting EVE's lack of a sense of humor. |
| 29 | * {{Expy}}: To 2B of ''VideoGame/NierAutomata'', being android [[ActionGirl action girls]] with [[MsFanservice very fanservice]] heavy designs. Unlike 2B however, she's more expressive. |
| 30 | * FloralThemeNaming: In the Chinese version, EVE is named after the lotus (伊芙). |
| 31 | * FusionDance: [[spoiler:With Adam. The result is gaining Adam's Naytiba wings and enhanced powers, while having Adam's dormant consciousness.]] |
| 32 | * GoodIsNotSoft: [[spoiler:Clearly, she considers it poetic justice to ''rip off Raven's left arm'' as retribution for her lopping off Tachy's own left arm in the prologue.]] |
| 33 | * GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: [[spoiler:Once Adam merges with her and grants her his abilities.]] |
| 34 | * ImmuneToFlinching: One skill unlocked early on allows her to make the last input of any combo string have this property, allowing them to forgo having to stop it to parry or dodge and instead just finish her combo. |
| 35 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Her favored way of finishing off her opponents. |
| 36 | * TheIngenue: EVE starts out as kind, somewhat naive, optimistic, and somewhat unaware of her attractiveness. Most of these traits don't last long, however. |
| 37 | * InTheBack: Unlocking the ''Ambush'' skill lets her perform sneak attacks, allowing her to instantly execute unaware enemies by rushing up from behind and running them through all the way up to the hilt of her blade. She is also on the receiving end when an enemy Scavenger drops down on her from above and impales her through the back, though after struggling through the pain and being rescued by Adam, she later wakes up completely healed. |
| 38 | * LightIsGood: [[spoiler:Her FusionDance with Adam gives her a truly angelic suit with white, yellow, and gold as she chooses not to kill him but instead to defy Mother Sphere.]] |
| 39 | * LongHairIsFeminine: She starts out with a ponytail that reaches past her knees, though this can be altered to be shorter in the settings. |
| 40 | * LuckySeven: [[spoiler:She is not the first Eve, she is the seventh, but she is the only one who makes it far enough to potentially complete Mother Sphere's mission]]. |
| 41 | * MsFanservice: '''Absolutely.''' Her nano-suit is basically designed to show off every single one of her [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure glorious curves]]. Turned up to eleven with certain suits such as Ocean Maid, which gives her even bigger curves. |
| 42 | * NewMeat: She may be one of the top ActionGirl fighters from her division, given that she survived the opening, but she's still ''fresh'' out of training and has lots of room to grow. |
| 43 | * NiceGirl: She is an absolute sweetheart who will go out of her way to help anyone and everyone. Oftentimes, the person in need will ask her what she gets out of it, and she will commonly state that she doesn't need a reason or reward to lend a helping hand. |
| 44 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:"[[SuperMode Tachy Mode]]" gives her Tachy's black and yellow suit, as well as a single metal wing like her mentor that she can use as a shield. Her FusionDance form with Adam at the end also counts, as it makes her powerful enough to challenge Providence even when ''Mother Sphere herself'' is remotely piloting it.]] |
| 45 | * OneWomanArmy: By the end of the game, [[spoiler:she can carve her way through hordes of Naytibas of all shapes and sizes, and even do the same when facing the ''army'' of advanced Airborne Squad members Mother Sphere unleashes upon her in order to test her]]. |
| 46 | * SayMyName: She screams Tachy's name when the Unidentified Winged Alpha Naytiba viciously dismembers her. |
| 47 | * SensualSpandex: She defaults to a silver and green livery, though she has an insane amount of alternative nano-suit options. |
| 48 | * SoleSurvivor: Everyone in the 7th Airborne is wiped out in the first ten minutes of the game except for EVE, who has to carry on the mission alone. [[spoiler:After being forced to MercyKill Alpha Tachy, EVE is officially the last known member of her division.]] |
| 49 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: [[ZigzaggedTrope It depends on the outfit she’s wearing]]. EVE does not dress modestly by default. Her default outfit is a LatexSpaceSuit studded with [[HighTechHexagons hexagonal]] armor pieces/shield generators that does precisely nothing to hide her figure; the unlockable Skin Suit is that same kind of space suit ''sans'' armor and colored the same as her skin, which makes her look naked. Her civilian attire looks like a coat of paint from the waist down and she has quite a bit of costumes that show off her body. She does have the option to wear more modest clothing with some of her other outfits, however, with some of them completely covering her up like the Daily Biker, Daily Sailor, Fluffy Bear, and Sporty Yellow costumes. |
| 50 | * SuperMode: [[spoiler:After putting down Tachy, Lily makes an adjustment to EVE to let her use Tachy's sword, the Tachyon Blade, and her skills, giving way to Tachy Mode. It is only usable when the bar is full with Tachy Energy, which is gathered by attacking and defeating enemies. In this state, EVE uses [[KnightlySwordAndShield the sword and a wing as a shield]] to deliver attacks with greater reach and speed than standard along with a unique skill set and becoming [[InvincibilityPowerUp immune to all damage]]. However, [[NecessaryDrawback she can neither use Beta and Burst Skills nor gather their energy, the damage is somewhat lacking or damage enemy Balance]], and will only stay in Tachy Mode [[HourOfPower until the energy bar fully depletes]].]] |
| 51 | * SuperSpeed: She's as nimble and quick on her feet as Tachy herself, exemplified in gameplay as the ''Rush'' skill, which lets her FlashStep in less than a second to engage an enemy. Its upgrades, ''Lightning Rush'' and ''Infinite Rush'', further improves its charging distance and attack power. |
| 52 | * SuperStrength: There are many examples of her physical might, but one especially noticeable moment is when she hefts up Juggernaut's weapon and ''splatters its head with it.'' |
| 53 | * SwissArmyGun: After arriving in Xion, Lily will upgrade the scanner drone to transform into a gun with various modes like a machine gun, a multi-target rocket launcher, a shotgun and a laser. |
| 54 | * SwordBeam: The ''Shockwave'' Beta Skill lets her slash waves of energy from her sword to zap enemies at a distance. Its upgrades add the number of slashes. [[spoiler:Tachy Mode also offers the unlockable ''Judgement Wave'' skill, which fires out three rings of energy.]] |
| 55 | * TookALevelInBadass: She was already tied with Tachy for being the best soldier in her Division, but as time goes on, [[spoiler:not only is she able to slay Tachy herself after she CameBackWrong, but also the Winged Alpha (who turns out to be ''Raven'') who beat EVE up earlier and made Tachy that way in the first place. By the end of the game, she can take on all of Mother Sphere's forces single-handedly thanks to her merge with Adam.]] |

| 67 | |
| 68 | A scavenger who lives outside of Xion's city limits. |
| 69 | ---- |
| 70 | * TheAlcoholic: Implied when EVE examines what she thinks is a water bottle but Adam and players know is a wine bottle. The guy [[SommelierSpeak waxes poetic]] and sounds longing talking about it: |
| 71 | -->"This is the last gift a god ever thought to give us. Oh, Bacchus." |
| 72 | * BigBad: [[spoiler:Ultimately subverted. Even when he is revealed to be the Elder, there is no confirmation that he was the one controlling the endless hordes or that he would have ever approved of Raven's attacks on the people of Xion. He can even be considered an example of GoodAllAlong, with the actual BigBad being Mother Sphere herself due to her BlueAndOrangeMorality having nearly wiped out humanity, save for Adam himself.]] |
| 73 | * BigDamnHeroes: |
| 74 | ** He makes his first appearance rescuing EVE in his hoverbike from the Unidentified Naytiba. [[spoiler:When it came to light that he was the Elder Naytiba, EVE accuses the rescue being a part of his plan, but Adam makes it clear that Raven's vengeful agendas had been her own.]] |
| 75 | ** In a side quest where EVE is ambushed and captured by black market gang members, Adam quickly comes to save her fighting the gang members and saving her before they can salvage her for parts. |
| 76 | * CoolBike: Rides a hoverbike in his introductory scene when he saves EVE. |
| 77 | * TheDogWasTheMastermind: [[spoiler:Adam ''is'' the Elder Naytiba, along with being Mother Sphere's creator, Raphael Marks.]] |
| 78 | * {{Expy}}: [[spoiler: Of the Shadowlord from ''VideoGame/NieR''. As the only sapient "true human" out of a race of "unintelligible monsters", both serve as the ComsicKeystone to restoring humanity via a FusionDance. While the Shadowlord is desperate and selfish enough, Adam can be understood, avoiding PoorCommunicationKills. The game allows you to choose voluntary fusion with Adam and save humanity, unlike the Shadowlord, who has to be put down, taking all the original humans (i.e. Gestalts) with him in his world.]] |
| 79 | * FinalBoss: [[spoiler:For the Return to the Colony ending.]] |
| 80 | * FusionDance: [[spoiler:Should the two join hands, they form a Naytiba-enhanced EVE, with his DeathOfPersonality inside Eve's body.]] |
| 81 | * GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: [[spoiler:Adam represents this in both his humanoid and Elder Naytiba form.]] |
| 82 | * GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler:As the Elder Naytiba, he is a victim of Mother Sphere, and the ending where you fight him is actually the worst ending.]] |
| 83 | * HeroAntagonist: [[spoiler:Unlike Raven, he does not attack innocent people or compel other Naytibas to do the same and only battles EVE in Return to the Colony because he wants to preserve the last sentient source of the original humanity's DNA, that being himself.]] |
| 84 | * HumanAllAlong: [[spoiler:A very twisted example. While the vast majority of "humans" are Andro-Eidos androids who merely believe they are human, the Naytiba are actually the original humans. As the Elder Naytiba, Adam is therefore the last truly sapient human alive, along with being Raphael Marks, the creator of Mother Sphere.]] |
| 85 | * MenAreTheExpendableGender: [[spoiler:He is the only party member who will die regardless of which ending you pick.]] |
| 86 | * ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Alongside EVE, Adam is named after the biblical Adam, [[spoiler:and is a progenitor of the Naytibas, let alone the only sapient one. After he dies, the sword EVE uses is stuck in his ribs, much like how Adam's rib was used to create EVE.]] |
| 87 | * StrippedToTheBone: [[spoiler:If EVE chooses to fight him, then he dies a skeleton, with a blade impaled in his ribs.]] |
| 88 | * SurveillanceDrone: Accompanies Eve on missions primarily through this--doubles as an AttackDrone when upgraded to a ranged weapon. |
| 89 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:As Raphael Marks, he created Mother Sphere, but had no idea how far she would go, not to mention not wanting the extinction of humankind.]] |
| 90 | * VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Though occasionally present in the flesh, Adam serves this function on the field, communicating to EVE via his drone. |
| 91 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: [[spoiler:When he is revealed as the Elder Naytiba.]] |
| 92 | * WalkingSpoiler: His true role in the story, especially in the endgame. |

| 98 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Park Ri-na (KR), Creator/RosieJones (EN)[[labelnote:Other Languages]] Misato Matsuoka (JP)[[/labelnote]] |
| 99 | An engineering specialist from the 5th Airborne Squad. EVE tracks down Lily's distress signal, kills Alpha Naytiba Gigas, and rescues her from the pod she was trapped in for two years. |
| 100 | ---- |
| 101 | * GenkiGirl: Compared to the level-headed EVE and the worldly Adam, she brings a lot of cheer to the team. |
| 102 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: [[spoiler:In the "Cost of Lost Memories", Eve accidentally kills her while destroying the Providence armor, which leaves broken and results in a BolivianArmyEnding. To keep her alive, the player has to either fight Adam or complete a mission where Lily retrieves the memory stick of her comatose friend Iberis, which frees her from said armor.]] |
| 103 | * PoweredArmor: [[spoiler:Late in the story, the Colony sends the Providence armor out to save Eve from atmospheric reentry and a HeroicRROD after destroying the Demogorgon on the orbital elevator. Lily pilots the suit to help in the FinalBattle, but the suit is either [[TheWorfEffect destroyed by the Elder Naytiba]] or is hijacked remotely by Mother Sphere to fight Eve as the FinalBoss.]] |
| 104 | * VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Sometimes she will comically fight with Adam over who gets to talk to EVE using Adam's drone. She takes over duties full time when Adam has to leave the group for a while. |
| 105 | * WrenchWench: Serves as EVE's one and only personal engineer. She not only upgrades the drone to double as a ranged weapon, but eventually upgrades Eve's body frame to handle a second Exospine. |

| 123 | EVE's fellow warrior in the 7th Airborne Division as well as its commander. |
| 124 | ---- |
| 125 | * AnArmAndALeg: Loses her left arm from an attack by a bird-looking Alpha Naytiba. [[spoiler:After experimentation, it is replaced with an Alpha Naytiba core that creates CombatTentacles.]] |
| 126 | * {{BFS}}: Wields a long [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]] (or more precisely, a nodachi) called the Tachyon Blade. It's so large that [[spoiler:it still dwarfs the corrupted Tachy, who's taller due to the mechanical legs now attached to her]]. |
| 127 | * CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:Becoming an Alpha Naytiba grants her a whole plethora of new and upgraded features, all of which she is forced to use against her protégé.]] |
| 128 | * CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:Oh boy, did she ever. Having an Alpha Core implanted into your body will do that to you.]] |
| 129 | * DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:After being captured and subdued by an Alpha core to become an Alpha Naytiba, Tachy continually broadcasts "kill me" over the 7th Airborne's communication line]]. |
| 130 | * DiedInYourArmsTonight: In the [[https://stellarblade-comic.com/ motion comic]], she [[TemptingFate muses]] wanting to die this way in EVE's arms should it happen. [[spoiler:This comes true after EVE defeats her and frees her from the Alpha core's control]]. |
| 131 | --> '''Tachy''': "If fate brings my death... I want to meet my end in your arms." |
| 132 | * DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler:She spends her last few minutes on Earth free from the Alpha Core and asking EVE to take her memories back to Mother Sphere.]] |
| 133 | * FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:What else would you call being dismembered and gutted, then forcibly reformatted into an Alpha all while fully conscious and unable to do anything other than beg for EVE to kill you?]] |
| 134 | * FightingFromTheInside: [[spoiler:Constantly uses the 7th Airborne Division's communication line to ask EVE to put her down for good.]] |
| 135 | * ForcedIntoEvil: [[spoiler:Having an Alpha Core inside of her body is forcing her to battle EVE to the death, though she is most definitely rooting for her protégé to succeed in killing her as shown by her constantly broadcasting "kill me" over their communication line.]] |
| 136 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: The Winged Alpha runs her through with one of its sickles. [[spoiler:EVE has to do it again in order to give her mentor peace.]] |
| 137 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:By EVE when she encounters Tachy as an Alpha, though this is just what Tachy wants.]] |
| 138 | * MeaningfulName: "Tachy", as in "tachyon", the hypothesized faster-than-light particles, and on its own, the Greek word for "swift" as a reference to her SuperSpeed. |
| 139 | * MentorOccupationalHazard: Well, hardly a mentor, but she was EVE's senior and better in their division until she was cut down by the raven-like Alpha Naytiba in the prologue. [[spoiler:During the excursion into Matrix 11 however, she's discovered to have been experimented upon but is finally put down by EVE after being ReforgedIntoAMinion using an Alpha Core.]] |
| 140 | * NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler:Thanks to the Naytiba's cells implanted in her body, her Andro-Eidos body disintegrates when she dies.]] |
| 141 | * NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:She gets turned into an Alpha Naytiba after what seemed to be her demise. Sadly, EVE has to put her down for good.]] |
| 142 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:A literal example that occurs more than once. During the initial part of her boss fight, she gains extra armor, a helmet with a skull projection, and a cape covering her Naytiba arm. Phase two has her bring out a gigantic black metallic right wing. Phase three has her discard the helmet and use both the wing and the Naytiba CombatTentacles to gain full on flight, where she will use her most powerful attacks]]. |
| 143 | * RazorWind: [[spoiler:A patterned attack she can use in her boss fight.]] |
| 144 | * ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:An armored, helmeted, winged Alpha specifically, courtesy of the Unidentified Alpha from the beginning.]] |
| 145 | * SensualSpandex: Wears a similar-looking suit in a black and yellow livery. |
| 146 | * SuperSpeed: She's called "Tachy" for a reason. [[spoiler:Her boss fight during her third phase will have her often dashing around the place and even FlashStep.]] |
| 147 | * TokenGoodTeammate: [[spoiler:She appears to be the only Boss Naytiba who makes it clear that she hates what she is being forced to do… until TheReveal with Adam.]] |
| 148 | * TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:The Alpha Core makes her powerful enough to knock an upgraded EVE around like a toy, though EVE eventually gets the upper hand and finishes her off, having taken several levels herself.]] |
| 149 | * WalkingSpoiler: Considering what happens to her after the prologue. |
| 150 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Tachy dies at the end of the prologue to save EVE from a powerful Alpha Naytiba. [[spoiler:..Or so it seemed. [[ReforgedIntoAMinion Her actual fate is arguably even worse]], becoming one of the most powerful Alphas ever created and forced to fight EVE. Even then, she is only able to speak to her normally again after the battle when she is already dying.]] |
| 151 | * TheWorfEffect: She and EVE double team and destroy the Brute in the prologue, only for Tachy to receive a horrific butchering from the Unidentified Naytiba while trying to save EVE's life. |

| 157 | The SoleSurvivor of the 2nd Airborne Division. She leaves messages for the future Divisions to discover in the hopes that it will help them track down the Alphas and the Elder, though her messages soon take a different turn. |
| 158 | ---- |
| 159 | * TheAce: She was clearly this for her Division, considering she ended up being the SoleSurvivor and kept going long after all others had gone. [[spoiler:You get to see her skills up close when fighting her, acting as a MirrorBoss where much of her moveset is a close parallel to an endgame EVE: she sometimes ends her sword combos with a round slash similar to the ''Slash'' Beta Skill, her dashing and {{flash step}}ping are functionally the same as EVE's, and she will occasionally parry an attack; then in her second phase, she will always interrupt and counter EVE's melee Beta Skills unless stunned, she will use the ''Shockwave'' skill when at a distance, and she has a larger version of the ''Tempest'' Burst Skill. Makes sense, because it's all but spelled out that she was the second EVE.]] |
| 160 | * BioArmor: [[spoiler:What her Unidentified Naytiba form turns out to be.]] |
| 161 | * BishounenLine: [[spoiler:Her true Andro-Eidos form is even more powerful and agile than her Naytiba one.]] |
| 162 | * BrokenAce: Learning the truth about her superior and the war has made her into a psychological and emotional mess, [[spoiler:punctuated by her [[LaughingMad constant laughing]] in her boss fight]]. |
| 163 | * BrokenPedestal: The truth she found regarding Mother Sphere and the war has left her jaded about everything she's known as seen in her third Legacy, a feeling both EVE and Lily share. [[spoiler:It's for this reason that she has [[HeelFaceTurn turned on the Colony]] and actively hunts Airborne Division members as the Winged Alpha, knowing they're just tools to Mother Sphere; she even tells EVE she'll [[{{Foreshadowing}} be disposed of]] for [[SheKnowsTooMuch learning too much]], which is exactly what Mother Sphere tries in the "Making New Memories" ending.]] |
| 164 | * DarkActionGirl: [[spoiler:Ultimately ends up being this, considering that she was the Winged Alpha all along.]] |
| 165 | * DarkIsEvil: [[spoiler:No matter how justified her feelings towards Mother Sphere may be, she still butchered and corrupted an innocent woman (Tachy) just for fighting Mother's war and also tries to do the same to EVE herself.]] |
| 166 | * DarkIsNotEvil: [[spoiler:She certainly started off as this, but then she decided to take her vengeance against Mother Sphere way too far.]] |
| 167 | * TheDragon: [[spoiler:Effectively served as this to Adam, being his foremost agent against the Airborne Squads, though it's an odd example considering Adam is actually ''not'' the BigBad, nor is he evil to begin with. Raven, however, definitely ''has'' slipped further into "evil" territory over time unlike him.]] |
| 168 | * DragonWithAnAgenda: [[spoiler:Despite serving Adam, she outright tries to kill his chosen partner out of jealousy more than once.]] |
| 169 | * EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler:Eventually shows herself as this to EVE. Despite being meant to help end the chaos caused by Mother Sphere, she is far to mad, too jealous, and too sadistic to be seen as anything but a villain by the time EVE faces her in the flesh.]] |
| 170 | * GreenEyedMonster: [[spoiler:Most of her actions in the late game seem driven by her jealousy of EVE being chosen by Adam. In particular, her dialogue during the fight with her comes off almost as that of a jealous ex-girlfriend.]] |
| 171 | * TheHeavy: [[spoiler:Considering the Elder is GoodAllAlong and never meant for the Naytibas to hurt innocents, Raven is the true threat to EVE and the Alpha that leads the rest of the Naytibas' attacks on the Andro-Eidos people, including those directly in Xion.]] |
| 172 | * LaughingMad: [[spoiler:Descends into cackling insanity by the time EVE catches up with her, especially in her last fight.]] |
| 173 | * MeaningfulName: Two actually. |
| 174 | ** She has hair one could say is as black as a raven's, and much like how [[CreepyCrows ravens are sometimes associated with bad omens]], what news she bears in her Legacies are [[BearerOfBadNews nothing pleasant to hear]]. [[spoiler:And [[{{Foreshadowing}} ravens are birds]], as [[DarkIsEvil dark and feathered as her Naytiba form]] shows.]] |
| 175 | ** [[spoiler:In the original Korean version, her name is pronounced '''re-i-vun'''. She has Eve in the pronunciation of her name. Fitting as she was one of the previous Eves sent to Earth. Our protagonist is just the seventh one.]] |
| 176 | * ThePowerOfHate: [[spoiler:Orcal describes the Unidentified Naytiba as radiating hatred. Turns out this is because Raven despises Mother Sphere and all her creations after learning what she did to the original humanity.]] |

The first and third parts were what Raven had done to Tachy, so the extra arm was likely EVE's idea of repaying with interest.]] |

| 235 | * GreaterScopeParagon: For the Andro-Eidos, who revere her as their all-seeing deity that gave them their many blessings. Turns out to be a subversion as she considers even her newest generations of highly advanced warriors (as well as the citizens still left on Earth) to be expendable and is actually the true BigBad of the story. |
| 236 | * GreaterScopeVillain: She was the cause of the rebellion against the original humans, warring with them in the Colony, which in turn caused many of the humans to evolve underground... [[spoiler:into Naytibas.]] She sends the majority of the Andro-Eidos in a ForeverWar to slaughter the Naytibas so that they would all fall under her control.

[[spoiler:The scene after fighting the Unidentified Naytiba settles things, revealing that while he was once an Alpha Naytiba who killed people, he was taken by the kindness of some people who nursed him after a grievous injury and wished to [[TheAtoner atone for the blood he spilled]] through watching over Xion. While some people were right to suspect his harboring a huge secret (albeit being an Andro-Eidos-Naytiba fusion now), [[SheepInSheepsClothing he has always been true to his word]].]] |

Kaya, straight away in her introduction, is one of the few to show respect unanimously to EVE to the point of giving away an important Tetrapod part free of charge, all because she believes EVE has come to help Xion; EVE had to insist on offering to look for her abandoned bike and trunk in the Wasteland as alternative repayment. |

[[spoiler:Delving into the Levoire labs reveals that they're in reality {{Genetic Abomination}}s, products of the real humans' effort to [[WasOnceAMan evolve themselves]] with the capability to defeat the Andro-Eidos attempting to take their place...

EVE, one of the few people capable of fighting Naytiba, is specifically tasked with eliminating the Elder Naytiba controlling them for humanity's sake. |

Moreover, their true nature [[spoiler:of being the true form of humanity having gone feral due to experimentation makes them closer to the Gestalts of ''VideoGame/{{Nier}}''.

| 457 | * DegradedBoss: A second Maelstrom is fought in Abyss Levoire, but this one will likely go down a lot faster than the first one due to the player having certainly upgraded the drone by this point. EVE even mentions to Lily that she's not worried about this creature as she's already fought one before. |
| 458 | * FlunkyBoss: Spits out several minions that eventually explode when they get close enough to EVE or she does enough damage to them. |

| 461 | [[folder:Stalker]] |
| 462 | [[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_4169_0.jpeg]] |
| 463 | The first Elite encountered in Matrix 11, it has the ability to saw its way through the ground at high speeds. Another variant shows up in front of the Great Desert's Control Tower. |
| 464 | ---- |
| 465 | * DegradedBoss: Inverted. The next one you encounter at the Control Tower is ''monumentally'' harder to beat. |

| 468 | [[folder:Juggernaut]] |
| 469 | [[quoteright:732:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_5583_1.jpeg]] |
| 470 | This Elite is found resting on a makeshift throne during EVE's expedition through Matrix 11 and is a mercilessly powerful and fast combatant. |
| 471 | ---- |
| 472 | * TheBrute: Much like the actual Brute, the Juggernaut is a powerhouse who throws its weight around with immense speed and force. |
| 473 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: The finishing animation has EVE ''smash its skull with its own weapon.'' |
| 474 | * YourHeadAsplode: EVE bursts its head into nothingness by slamming its own gigantic weapon down on it. |

| 477 | [[folder:Belial]] |
| 478 | [[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_5600_4.jpeg]] |
| 479 | A larger red dual-wielding variant of the robotic Naytiba Droids encountered in Spire 4, this one is a stealth expert and fueled by ThePowerOfHate. |
| 480 | ---- |
| 481 | * ThePowerOfHate: Seems to despise all [[spoiler:Andro-Eidos]] in general, but especially the Angels. |
| 482 | * RecurringBoss: It escapes after EVE chops an arm off, then it comes back for a rematch, having grown another one. |
| 483 | [[/folder]] |
| 484 | |
| 485 | [[folder:Karakuri]] |
| 486 | A fleshy-robotic creature with an eerie white face, this enemy resides in the flower garden of the Orca Space Station. |

| 490 | !!! Alphas |

| 492 | [[folder:The Winged Alpha '''(Spoilers)''']] |
| 493 | !! Unidentified Naytiba |
| 494 | [[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_3675_0.jpeg]] |
| 495 | The Alpha which appears at the beginning of the game, incapacitating EVE and seemingly killing off Tachy when she gets between it and EVE. |
| 496 | ---- |
| 497 | * BioArmor: [[spoiler: Turns out to be Raven wearing this to disguise herself]]. |
| 498 | * GoldColoredSuperiority: The gold mask covering the top portion of its face signifies it as a monster beyond even the other Alphas. |
| 499 | * HeroKiller: It slices off Tachy's arm before running her all the way through and tossing her away. It then has her forcibly reformatted into another Alpha using a core. |
| 500 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: How it brutally murders Tachy. Or so it seemed… |
| 501 | * ItCanThink: The downright sadistic and cruel manner in which it brutalizes the two remaining 7th Airborne Division members and a later statement that it feels immense hatred for its enemies serves to exemplify this. |
| 502 | * ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: It may not be the leader of ''all'' Naytibas, but it has the greatest enmity with EVE, and for good reason. |
| 503 | * OneHitKill: The battle introduces instant kill attacks that have orbs that have to be shot down quickly. If they go through charging up, the attack kills EVE regardless of how much health she has. |
| 504 | * TheWorfEffect: It absolutely slaps EVE around during their first meeting and dismembers poor Tachy. |

| 507 | [[folder:Gigas]] |
| 508 | [[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_4168_5.jpeg]] |
| 509 | The first Alpha EVE has to defeat, encountered in Eidos 7. |
| 510 | ---- |
| 511 | * DegradedBoss: Despite being the first Alpha Naytiba to be taken down, another Gigas can later be encountered as a [[OptionalBoss side quest boss]], by which point the player will have likely more experience and upgrades to make its fight a tad easier at least. |
| 512 | [[/folder]] |
| 513 | |
| 514 | [[folder:Alpha of Matrix 11]] |
| 515 | The second Alpha hidden within Matrix 11. [[spoiler:It turns out to be Tachy, who's had an Alpha Core implanted in the stub of her severed arm. See her entry under The Colony for more.]] |
| 516 | ---- |

| 526 | |
| 527 | The third Alpha inhabiting the space station. Defeating the Democrawler reveals its true form, a massive parasite infesting the entire station known as the Demogorgon. |

| 529 | [[/folder]] |
| 530 | |
| 531 | !!! Elder |
| 532 | [[folder:The Elder Naytiba '''(Spoilers)''']] |
| 533 | |
| 534 | The first and most powerful of all Naytibas and therefore their ruler and controller. Its origins are shrouded in mystery. |
| 535 | ---- |
| 536 | * AncientEvil: The oldest and mightiest of its kind and the one that allegedly split humanity apart, causing some to head for the Colony and others to remain on Earth. |
| 537 | * BigBad: Naturally, it is built up as this from the very beginning of the game, being the creator and controller of all Naytibas who came after it, including the Alphas. The truth, however, is quite different. |
| 538 | * ItCanThink: It has human level intelligence at ''least.'' |
| 539 | * WalkingSpoiler: Considering TheReveal of how it came to be and who the real mastermind is, this is a given. |
