Eve Moonlit

Eve Moonlit, also known as the "Pretentious Mother," is the woman from whom the Seven Deadly Sins come from. Like her Judeo-Christian counterpart, she is the root of all sin. She lived in Eldoh's Forest, Elphegort.

The First Crime
Eve was the wife of Adam Moonlit, both were peasants living on Eldoh's Forest. The couple attempted to have children but those ones died on unknown circunstances. Due this the woman began to accumulate a intense grudge, and her wish to have children eventually twisted into Sin, tainting her with the feeling of the Seven Deadly Sins. This drove her to steal the twin children of another woman.

Eve in her despair to be mother, hallucinated the children were two "Apples", and that her mother who desperately attempted to get them back, was a "Bear". When the mother of the twins caught to Eve at the entrance of her house, Eve killed her in a fit of despair.

Now in home, Eve showed to her husband his find. Saddened and scared of the scene, Adam asked to her wife give back the twins to their real mother, making her snap out. He told her that probably it wasn't too late, however his wife told him indeed was too late. The couple was forced to raise the twins as their kids.

The Splitting of the Original Sin
Fourteen years after the crime committed by Eve, the couple was forced to abandon the twins into Eldoh's Forest (the reasons aren't too clear). However, they never expected the twins to return to their house with the help of a "little glass bottle" filled with the moon's light. In karmic retribution, the twins killed to their foster parents, with Gretel killing Eve by pushing her into an oven.

After that the twins recover their false mother's Original Sin from her scorched remains, and split it into the seven pieces. The twins then unleash the Seven Deadly Sins onto the world, tainting it with the Evil as they hope someone will cleanse the filth created by their "mother".

Moonlit Bear (EC 001)
In the song Moonlit Bear, Eve commits the "Original Sin." While wandering the forest one day, she comes across two bright, red apples. She believes that if she steals the fruit, she will have a happy life with her husband. She steals them, and is chased by a bear. She understands what she is doing is wrong, and begs forgiveness. She eventually outruns the bear and makes it home to her husband, Adam. Adam is shocked when he sees what she has done, telling her that their children are dead, and she must give them back to their mother. It is then revealed that the "apples" are not apples at all, but two infant children. The "bear" that was chasing her was, in fact, the children's mother, trying to get them back. Eve, in a fit of insanity springing from the death of her own children, hallucinated the entire thing, and killed the mother of the children.

Abandoned on a Moonlit Night (EC 014)
In Abandoned on a Moonlit Night, Eve and Adam leave the children (now a bit older) in the woods to starve to death. The children become crazy as they wander the woods, and when they finally come back to their house, they do not recognize it and claim that it is the "witch's house." Believing Eve to be a witch, "Gretel" throws her into her oven, where she is burned alive.
