Misato Katsuragi

Serving as the tactical commander and operations chief at NERV, this dedicated officer directs the Eva pilots through intense battles. While she maintains a professional demeanor during combat, her private life is far more chaotic, characterized by a messy apartment and a love for drinking. As the sole survivor of the catastrophic Katsuragi Expedition, she carries her father's memory through a precious cross pendant. Though she acts as a guardian to Shinji and Asuka, her complex past involves a rekindled romance with Kaji and a fracturing friendship with Ritsuko.
