Eva Vallivia has always been an optimist and a pacifist. Even against all odds, she still believes the best in people. That perhaps the roots of all evil belong in incoherence, cynicism, and antipathy. But even with this mindset, and a will to show those values to the universe, there are those who would call her ideals naive. Ilmas, The Prince of Steel, has mocked her ideals of peace, saying that her idealism is wasted and that goodness cannot be spread without violence. Moral goodness requires authority, and authority is derived from violence. Evil cannot be destroyed by kindness, and that righteousness is not always kind. He mocks that because of her pacifism, she is a perpetrator of oppression. Naive of the true causes of evil.

Of course, Eva can always retaliate by mocking Ilmas's self-righteousness, privilege and self-entitlement. Eva doesn't fear Ilmas, she only resents him for what he did personally to her friends and allies. The one person she does fear though, is Valijah Eliyyahu. A madman hellbent in killing those he deem "evil", and trying to find his lost creation, the Star of Preeminence. From the ruins of the Imperial Civil War, and the ghosts that haunt them, Eva is often given the task to use her powers to purge the vengeful spirits of Eliyyahu derelicts. In those tasks, residue from those ships seep into Eva's mental scars, infecting them with a insidious darkness born from fundamentalist madness. The residue would do nothing unless mixed with the pain Eva has endured.

Ilmas's criticisms has become one of his many downfalls. When the forces of darkness have penetrated Eva's moral shell, sorrow and anger takes hold. And the monster that Ilmas has planted into Eva's mind awakens. Where violence born from good intentions take form. As of now, Eva has the ability to turn into a righteous monster of evil. But, she is learning how to control this ability in order to use it for the goodness she holds in her heart.

This picture is quite the spoiler! I was inspired by Evangelion when planning this form out. Eva's Sicko Mode as I like to call it!
I've tried to make the form as beastly and as scary as possible (I would of added more features, but I'm sure Samus would object to adding them. If you ever been to my FA, you know what I mean).

This picture was done by the fantastic DarkSamus20
