Scouting Legion's Squad Leader. Hange is very passionate and driven in pursuit of new knowledge. They can be seen as very hyperactive, often diving into projects without thought for personal safety (and frightening lots of subordinates in the process), instead preoccupied with observing and documenting the subjects. Some misunderstand these acts and Hange is seen as eccentric and having more than a few screws loose. They also enjoy discussing this research, but as the lectures can be very long and detail-oriented, not many fellow soldiers find them interesting. Hange is often excited by Titans and is always eager to experiment with them, coming off as extremely emotional regarding titans. For example, they cry at the amount of pain being caused to a Titan during experimentation.

Rei Ayanami is the "First Children" of the Marduk Report and the pilot of EVA-00. Shrouded in mystery, she is socially withdrawn and rarely shows emotion. Seemingly completely devoted to her duty as an EVA pilot, her only apparent human relationship being with Nerv commander Gendou Ikari. However, Rei comes to know Shinji Ikari and after some initial mistrust they come to better understand each other, revealing more of Rei`s emotional side and helping Shinji trust others again.
