I'll note that, all things considered? I stopped thinking of Eva as the nicety-nice girl a LOOOONG time ago. On my very first run with her, in fact --
this would've been when Emerald was, oh... I dunno, maybe level 20? Certainly pre-30, because at 30 Wire (via Mag and Farmin' Roy) decided the
defender needed to hit the big leagues.
Anyway.
In-character (I assume) Eva is... polite, sure, but not at all girly. That I've seen. And the ribald jokes would've made a sailor blush (though Rhea,
of course, enjoys them).
And then there's the infamous "inaugural table dance" reference that everyone seems to conveniently forget... *wink*
So, yeah. This would come as no surprise to me, at least, and honestly... I think it'd make her more 'human', for lack of a better term.
She's not Magical Princess Evangelia from birth, She Of Zero Faults, but rather, a normal girl with normal problems who just happened to fall into the
Magical Girl schtick.
And as Ops points out, it gives her a logical, reasonable, and most importantly, plausible reason for why her home life is such a blank slate in-character.
I vote "use it", myself. And, for what it's worth, you've got free rein to put words in my or any of my characters mouths, Bob; the most
visible ones either have lots of backstory here on the forums or are documented on Virtueverse, and I'm open to any questions.
