Asuka Langley Soryu

Asuka Langley Soryu is a character from Neon Genesis Evangelion and is a major character in The Knights of the Multiverse, introduced in Season 1. After all the trauma she had endured on her own Earth, she finally finds herself free and with people who actually care about her well-being by joining the Crystal Knights in their universe-traveling, supervillain fighting escapades. She acts as the main pilot of God Sigma, and later Shin Getter Two.

Personality
Once a proud individual that would always try to look & be strong, always boasting about her piloting skills and violently lash out whenever someone "argued" with her, Asuka just... doesn't have the strength to do that anymore. After being beaten by several of the Angels and upstaged several times by her fellow EVA pilots, the final blow came when the Angel Arael penetrated her mind and tore down all her walls, leaving her as the vulnerable, insecure, and scared young girl she tried desperately to not be. She was left lost and confused, not helped by how she's been taken away to some another Earth. However, quite ironically, being taken even further out of her comfort zone might have been the best thing for her. As she spent time around the other Knights, she learned to be more open both to assistance from them and to having fun every now and then, especially thanks to many of them acting as her mentors and with teammates like Usagi teaching her that sometimes it's okay to act her age once and a while. From their influence, she's become someone who wants nothing more than to protect everything important to her, as well as begin to accept the past and continue on into the future.

Pre-Series
When Asuka was only four years old, her mother, Kyoko Zeppelin Soryu (who worked as a scientist for the German branch of NERV) participated in a contact experiment with Eva Unit 02. She thankfully survived the test, but the experience drove her insane, believing that one of Asuka's dolls was actually her daughter, only ever acknowledging Asuka as "that girl over there".

Arrival
Having fallen into a portal, Asuka found herself in a city back alley, where she passed out from hunger loss. She was picked up by some of the team while they were looking for a portal they had detected in a city (which was obviously the one that brought her here). They quickly took her back to the NP/S Labs and brought her to the med bay. After a while, she was able to move about fairly well after getting some food into her, but she wouldn't speak.

She makes a brief cameo in the second episode of the season, where she is briefly seen during dinner, sitting at a table very far away from the rest of the cast, with some of the group mentioning how no one really knows what went down in her home dimension, but the team's higher ups have told them to keep her distance and let her speak up whenever she feels like she's ready. This is to show the audience how far she's fallen after the events of her home series.

Skills & Equipment

 * Piloting
 * Photon Weaponry

Shinji Ikari
In her home universe, whenever Shinji would try to get close to her, Asuka would blow him off with insults to keep herself from letting anyone in her head. Of course, after her soul-searching when she was pulled into Earth Prime, when she returned, she tried to reconcile with Ikari even after all she had done, to no avail.

Rei Ayanami
Stemming from her traumatic experiences as a child, Asuka used to hate Rei for being nothing more than a doll, doing anything her commander told her to do without question, even killing herself if she was ordered to.

Kamille Bidan
Even though he's only a couple years older than her, Kamille acts as a surrogate older brother to Asuka, giving her the type of guiding figure she probably always needed; someone to give her the emotional support she needs, but always there to also knock her down when she gets too over her head. He immediately saw the potential she had as a freedom fighter but knew that she had a problem with letting out her more vulnerable side.

Usagi Tsukino
Usagi is Asuka's closest friend on the team. The young princess offered something really no one in her life offered her before: actual companionship. Someone who would stick by her side through all her faults and look out for her safety. Even when Asuka finally confessed how much of a terrible person she was back on her world, Usagi stayed right by her side, saying that the fact that she realized how she acknowledged her faults was enough for them. Besides, that wasn't the Asuka that she knew.

Atros
Atros is Asuka's second closest companion on the team. The two formed an immediate bond as two lost souls trying to find their purpose (or, in Asuka's case, a new reason to live). This mostly stems from how much she reminds her of herself: being so full of spirit and child-like wonder but being used by bigger people as nothing more than a weapon.
