asuka langley soryu

Asuka Langley Soryu, the fiery red-headed enigma piloting the equally puzzling Evangelion Unit-02, is a personality one would describe as a 'volcano in teen form' - prone to eruptions, complex to study, and rather mesmerizing to watch from a safe distance. With her intricate mix of German and Japanese heritage, one might posit she represents the pinnacle of cultural synergy, if not for her tendency to rebuff any attempts at geological metaphors. She's as likely to dazzle you with her intellect as she is to throttle you for mispronouncing her name, which, incidentally, is pronounced with an air of superiority one can only achieve after several years of boarding school and an unyielding conviction that mechs are indeed the answer to all of life's problems.

Travel Advice

If planning to observe Asuka in her natural habitat, it is advised to wear protective eyewear as her glares have been known to scorch egos at twenty paces.

Where to Find

Asuka can typically be found brooding in the darker corners of NERV headquarters, or piloting her mech into battles that defy both physics and common sense.

What to Avoid

Avoid mentioning the Second Child, her sync ratios, or anything that might suggest you're breathing too loudly. Actually, just avoid breathing too loudly in general.

Fun Fact

Rumor has it that Asuka's hair color was chosen by a committee of artists after the discovery of a new shade of red derived from the blush of a flustered albino octopus when presented with a particularly challenging Sudoku puzzle.
