Eva's appearance is always carefully well-kept. She sets high standards for how she looks and holds herself, a byproduct of her formal upbringing: her posture is straight, her hair always shiny, washed, and neatly brushed back, and her hands are often folded modestly in front of her out of habit. Although she tries to look all prim and proper and grown-up, the fact remains that Eva's 146 centimetre height and slight frame still misleads some people into thinking she's a young preteen.
Obviously, going out and travelling around the region puts a bit of a damper on her looks, but nevertheless Eva is always cautious to avoid mud or anything else that might get her too dirty. Not surprising, considering the dresses—and it's almost always dresses—she prefers to wear: many of them are expensive and laced with intricate details and designs. Her wardrobe is overwhelmed with green, her favourite colour, and nearly every outfit is coupled with a matching green headband, clean white socks, and a pair of cute, black flats.

Eva is like a walking non sequitur. She'd be talking about the fine science of Pokémon breeding one second, and then without warning switch the topic to yesterday's raspberry cake, and then randomly throw in a comment about the weather in Hoenn. This doesn't mean she's stupid though; on the contrary, she tends to absorb knowledge and pick up on skills incredibly quickly, despite her absentmindedness. When it comes to practicality, however, that's where Eva falls short. Street smarts are a mystery to her, she often misplaces things and forgets people's names, and she gets lost easily when travelling.
Her interactions with other people are usually short but civil. Perhaps her lack of active hostility is due to her ditzy and quiet nature, but the rudest she ever gets is a cold, stoic indifference. Eva acts very ladylike and formal, addressing people with the honorifics "sir" or "miss", never raising her voice, and generally waiting for people to finish speaking before she speaks. She finds it difficult to stick up for people, most of all herself, and she rarely defies orders from superiors, even if they contradict her own personal opinion. Eva's certainly capable of caring though, and this maternal quality of hers shines through the most when she's doing her job as a breeder.

Born to a wealthy family in Ecruteak City, Johto, Eva was taught to be a traditionalist from a young age. She and her older sister Lucille were to grow up into respectable young ladies: quiet, docile, skilled at domestic work, and trained to run a household in order to take care of their future husbands and children.
Lucille didn't like that. When she was ten years old and Eva was only five, she ran away from home to go on a Pokémon journey, eager to break free from the rigid (and rather sexist) future that was planned out for her. However, their parents were certain that, rash as Lucille was, she would eventually have to give up and return home. And so they waited.
And waited... and waited... until finally, when nine-year-old Eva and her parents were about ready to give up (with only minimal grief), Lucille returned—with a whole team of Pokémon in tow and news that she was apprenticing as a construction worker over in the neighbouring city of Olivine. She was following her own interests and dictating her own life, and completely defying her family's views while doing so.
They disowned her. They packed up and moved away, far away from the "irrational" teenager who had lost them a great deal of face. The now smaller family of three headed for the Star Region and settled down in Lunar City... which is where Eva's father started getting tangled in the Order. He wholeheartedly agreed with their ideals and their proposed ruling of the region, and although some of their actions were... questionable, he stated on more than one occasion that this is what he wanted to be a part of, and what he wanted his daughter to be a part of as well when she grew up. Eva was given a Skitty from her father for her twelfth birthday, and she was told repeatedly that her Pokémon, while also her pets, were to be used primarily for the benefit of the Order.
Unfortunately, five years later, Eva's father died in a "training-related accident", leaving his seventeen-year-old daughter to live up to his name within the Order. However, Eva couldn't pretend that she liked being a trainer very much, particularly after what happened to her father; besides, her mother didn't want Eva following in Lucille's footsteps either. So a compromise was reached: Eva was to use her domestic skills and penchant for nursing to become a breeder for the Order, an occupation which satisfied her mother and was in accordance to what her late father would have wanted for her.
