Kurogane’s Himegimi List

Series: Neon Genesis Evangelion
Birthday: December 4th, 2001
Seiyuu: Miyamura Yuuko

Biography: Asuka is designated as the Second Child (”Second Children” in the Japanese versions) of the Evangelion Project and pilots the Evangelion Unit 02. Asuka is only one quarter Japanese, which accounts for her Japanese name but European appearance. Asuka is a native of Germany, having been raised there, though her nationality is technically American. Asuka’s native language is German, and she often lapses into speaking German words or phrases when she is flustered, although she speaks fluent Japanese. She is a child prodigy and has a university degree as a teenager, though it is not specified what field her degree is in. She is characterized by her fiery red hair and equally fiery temper. Asuka is very proud of being an Eva pilot, and near-constantly wears her A10 nerve clips in her hair, because she wants everyone around her to know that she is a pilot. Asuka’s iconic catch-phrase (always directed at Shinji) is “anta baka?!”.(copied from Wikipedia)

Why is she my himegimi? : Possibly one of the most influential female characters of all time, and also predecessor of tsundere-ism, Asuka has a fiery exterior which hides her inner vulnerable self, which so totally ticks off my moe meter. Plus she has long, red hair, which along with her usage of the nerve clips as hair clips gives her an illusion of having twin tails, a standard trait for tsunderes.
