Saki Rukino (流木野 サキ)
Birthday: September 4
Zodiac: Virgo
Gender: Female
Height: 163 cm
Blood Type: A
Occupation: Student, Pilot, New JIOR Minister of Public Relations

A popular idol who has grown aloof due to her career being on hold.
Despite of her cold looks, she is the opposite of what she seems. Despite being isolated from others, due to her being an idol, she is very caring and protective of others which is not the slightest bit obvious. However, because of her career downfall, Rukino is hinted to have some kind of desire for people to acknowledge her (this was shown when Rukino used her new-found power to possess Haruto and posting comments praising her on the net). Rukino also dislikes others speaking ill about her (shown when Takahi clashed with Rukino and slapped her) and she bears apathy toward adults because of her painful past. In later episodes, Rukino is shown to develop feelings toward Haruto and becomes jealous when both Shoko and Haruto are being together. Saki's affection toward Haruto is clearly shown when she let "berserk Haruto" "do" her without resisting. After the incident, she tries to lessen Haruto's guilt by telling him that he was not responsible for what had happened between them.

Asuka (NGE)

---------------------------------------------------------------
Asuka Langley Soryu (惣流・アスカ・ラングレー Sōryū Asuka Rangurē) is Second Children, who pilots Evangelion Unit 02. She is from Germany, but with an American father and a half-German, half-Japanese mother.


Her mother, Kyoko Zeppelin Soryu, went insane after an Eva-related experiment and began to believe that a doll that resembled Asuka was, in fact, her daughter, to the point that she refused to acknowledge the real Asuka. Kyoko Zeppelin Soryu committed suicide on the very day that Asuka was chosen to become an Eva pilot. On that day, Asuka promised herself that she would never cry again. This event gives her an innate hatred of dolls and all things that she perceives to be doll-like, especially Rei. Despite those feelings Asuka shows no hesitation when required to cooperate with Rei when necessary, proving her to be committed and professional regarding her duties as an Eva pilot.


Asuka's father later remarried a woman for whom Asuka feels no affection. Asuka feels the need to verbally and sometimes physically lash out at everyone around her, except to her unrequited crush, Kaji, who is Misato's ex-boyfriend and more than twice Asuka's age. On her better days, however, she can be quite cheerful and friendly.


Like Shinji, Asuka also has a difficulty being close to people, except unlike Shinji, who shells himself, Asuka's coping mechanism is over-aggressiveness and so she unintentionally hurts people she likes, pushing them away and thus sinking further into loneliness and self resentment. This issue is referred to as the "hedgehog's dilemma" and is a recurring motif in the story.

In Rebuild of Evangelion, her name is changed to Asuka Langley Shikinami.
