Eve Moonlit

Eve Moonlit, born Eve Zvezda, is a witch who lived in Eldoh's Forest, Elphegort where she married Adam Moonlit after fleeing from Divine Levianta. She commits the Original Sin, the source of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Original Sin
Eve, a witch who lived in the village of Nemu, was chosen as the candidate for Project "MA" after falling in love with its lead scientist, Adam Moonlit. Although unaware of why she was there, Eve was comforted by Adam, who told she would be the mother of the gods, the Mem Aleph. At some point, she told Adam she wanted to get married with him in Eldoh's Forest afterward. After being implanted with god's seed, Eve carried and gave birth to her children, Cain and Abel. However, they were born dead and Eve, covered in blood, screamed in horror that she could not find her children.

After that, Adam and Eve both fled to Eldoh's Forest in Elphegort and married, becoming a wood-carving craftsmen. However, she harbored an intense grudge and her desire to have children eventually twisted into Sin, corrupting her with the evil intent of the Seven Deadly Sins.

In EC 001, Eve, in her desire to be a mother and, possibly, being influenced by the moon while in the forest, hallucinated that the twins Hansel and Gretel were two apples. When returning home, she also hallucinated that Meta Salmhofer, attempting to reclaim her children, was a bear. When the twins' mother caught up to Eve at the entrance of her house, Eve killed her.

Upon arriving home, Eve showed her husband her "apples". Adam, horrified, told Eve that her children were already dead and that she needed to return the twins back to their real mother. Upon this revelation, Eve recognized her crime and screamed in horror. He told her that it wasn't too late but Eve explained how the "bear" she killed outside had been the twin's mother. The couple was forced to raise the twins as their own children. Thirteen years after Eve committed the crime, the couple was forced to abandon the twins in Eldoh's Forest.

However, the twins returned to their house with the help of a "little glass bottle" filled with moonlight. In karmic retribution, the twins killed their foster parents, with Gretel killing Eve by pushing her into an oven, believing she was a wicked witch.

Legacy
After her death, her body became the embodiment of her Original Sin. The twins recovered their false mother's Original Sin from her scorched remains and split it into seven pieces. Forming the Seven Deadly Sins, they unleashed evil upon the world, praying that someone would "cleanse the filth created by our pretentious mother". The vessels corrupted by the sins wreaked havoc on numerous occasions, corrupting their holders and causing catastrophes for nearly 1000 years in the region of Evillious.

The spirit Michaela, when asked by Elluka to imagine the image of an Elphegort woman, pictured Eve the night she stole the twins from Meta. She then reincarnated as a human with the likeness of Eve. Michaela considered Eve the most wicked of wicked people who went mad with malice. Similarly, the Clockworker's Doll was crafted in the image of the Original Sin and was aesthetically compared to the original sinner.

Project [Ma] (EC ???)
In the first part of the song Project 「MA」, called Eve's project, she tells that is the best witch on the country. She speaks of how her lover is an excellent scientist, Adam Moonlit, who tells her that she will be the god's mother because the sin will destroy Levianta as Maria Moonlit said. Project [Ma] needs a powerful woman (gifted with magic) and then, she will be the country's queen. But Eve doesn't understand/want to be the chosen one. Finally she accepts with the promise to marry Adam in the Eldoh's Forest. The second part, Adam's Project, relates that the project failed.

Escape of the Witch, Salmhofer (EC ???)
In the middle of Escape of the Witch, Salmhofer, Eve was seen wailing and covered in blood when she was approached by Meta. She screamed about the death of her children who were, in fact, born dead. Meta, being associated with Pale, was blamed for their deaths as part of a plan for having her join Project [MA].

Moonlit Bear (EC 001)
In the song Moonlit Bear, Eve committed the Original Sin. While wandering the forest one day, she came across two red apples. She believed that if she stole the fruit, she would have a happy life with her husband. She took the fruit and was chased by a bear. She understood what she was doing is wrong, and begged for forgiveness. She eventually outran the bear and made it home to her husband, Adam. Adam was shocked when he saw what his wife had done, telling her that their children are dead, and that she must give them back to their mother. It was then revealed that the "apples" are not apples at all, but in fact two infant children. The "bear" that was chasing her was, in fact, Meta Salmhofer, a woman Eve previously accused of murder. Eve, in a fit of insanity springing from the death of her own children, hallucinated the entire thing, and killed Meta.

Abandoned on a Moonlit Night (EC 014)
In Abandoned on a Moonlit Night, Eve and Adam left the children (now a bit older) in the woods to starve to death. The children became crazy as they wandered through the woods, and when they finally came back to their house, they did not recognize it and claimed that it was the "witch's house." Believing Eve to be a witch, Gretel threw her into her oven, burning her alive.

Chrono Story (EC 015)
In Chrono Story, the twins split Eve's Original Sin into seven parts. These parts go out into the world, becoming the Seven Deadly Sins.

Handbeat Clocktower (EC 505)
Although she did not appear in Handbeat Clocktower, she was briefly mentioned by Kyle Marlon, stating that her evil intent was responsible for tainting the world and unleashing the Seven Deadly Sins.

Personality

Eve was also horrified by her own actions after Adam made her realize she stole children instead of fruits and showed remorse for her actions.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * Eve Moonlit is based on Eve from Judeo-Christian's mythology. Like her namesake, she is responsible for committing the Original Sin after stealing the 'Forbidden Fruit' (the twins).


 * Eve's maiden surname is Zvezda, slavic word for 'star'.

Curiosities

 * Eve's black hood on Moonlit Bear resembles the attire of a "witch", foretelling her outcome in Abandoned on a Moonlit Night.
 * The 3 female protagonists of the Original Sin series (Meta, Eve and Elluka) share the nickname "Witch".
 * When Eve is "attacked" by the "bear" in Moonlit Bear, her eyes turn red.
 * Ironically, some of the most innocent characters in the Evillious Chronicles have their appearance based on Eve. They are:
 * Michaela: A cheerful, innocent, and clueless forest spirit who wished to became human to help Clarith.
 * Master of the Court: The doll seems to not have any notions of good or evil.
 * Margaret: Kyle Marlon's are tutor, who died due to poisoning by Prim Marlon.
 * Eve's hometown, Nemu, literally means "sleep". This may be a reference to how most characters based off of Hatsune Miku are associated with Sloth.
