EVA

EVA, also known as Tatyana (Russian: Татьяна), and later known as Big Mama, was a spy and femme fatale who fought alongside Naked Snake during Operation Snake Eater. While posing as a KGB agent, she actually worked as a spy for the Chinese People's Liberation Army, tasked with obtaining the Philosophers' Legacy. She later became the surrogate mother of Solid Snake and Liquid Snake.

Early life
EVA was born in Meridian, Idaho, on May 15, 1936. At some point in her childhood, prior to the start of World War II, she, along with several other children across the world, were taken by the Philosophers and raised in a joint U.S.-Soviet-Chinese facility, receiving spy training at one of the Philosophers' "charm schools," so she could become a "sleeper agent." As a result of this, she was indistinguishable from any other native-born American.

EVA eventually joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Staff Headquarters - Second Division. There, she learned techniques such as "bandit shooting," a horizontal sweep using the Chinese Type 17 Mauser pistol.

Prior to the CIA's Virtuous Mission in 1964, EVA, posing as KGB operative Tatyana, was sent to Tselinoyarsk to oversee the development of Nikolai Sokolov's Shagohod and retrieve data on the weapon. A few days later, she was taken prisoner by Colonel Volgin, along with Sokolov, during the theft of the Shagohod by GRU forces. By posing as Sokolov's lover, and pretending to serve the colonel, she successfully infiltrated the Soviet military fortress of Groznyj Grad, while Sokolov was forced to continue his work on the Shagohod.

More than a week later, EVA met Naked Snake in Tselinoyarsk, during Operation Snake Eater, as a supposed KGB spy sent by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, and one of the former NSA code breakers who had defected in 1960 along with ADAM. She used her position in Groznyj Grad to supply Snake with information relating to Tselinoyarsk and its environment and to acquire intelligence on the Shagohod. EVA considered killing Volgin's subordinate, Major Ocelot, following a brief battle, in order to cover their tracks, but Snake convinced her not to, so she instead decided to rush back to Volgin before Ocelot returned to maintain her cover.

Afterwards, EVA (as Tatyana) was tortured by Volgin in order to coerce an uncooperative Sokolov into completing the Shagohod's development. When it began to rain, Volgin decided to have her "entertain" him until the weather cleared. Throughout their respective missions, EVA and Snake began to develop romantic feelings for one another, but Snake was initially hesitant. EVA later stole C3 explosives, from a vault containing Western weapons for research purposes, which she would later provide to Snake. She also suggested that he disguise himself as Volgin's subcommander and lover, Major Ivan Raidenovitch Raikov, due to Raikov having access to Sokolov's location, and was of a similar build to Naked Snake. She also supplied her plan of escaping from Tselinoyarsk via a WIG that she stole before returning back to Groznyj Grad. She, in her guise as Tatyana, was later threatened by Ocelot when he strongly suspected her of being the spy feeding Snake information with the recently deceased The Fear's crossbow. However, she was then told by Ocelot that she had "nice boots" in a subtle way of hinting that she's wearing the wrong boots (having left her officer boots back at the ruins). In addition, after Snake mentioned that he saw Tatyana again from his scouting, Zero reported that he hasn't found Tatyana under any of the data they found, suggesting that she was either obscure to the point of their having overlooked her, or that she was an important enough VIP for the KGB to have her details extremely classified.

EVA later recovered the Shagohod data from Sokolov, and proceeded to interrogate him in regards to the location of the Philosophers' Legacy, threatening him with her supposed "Kiss of Death." When he was unable to answer, she revealed her bluff by using her lipstick. Unbeknownst to EVA, Snake eavesdropped on the two after having successfully infiltrated Groznyj Grad, though he was eventually captured by Volgin shortly thereafter. EVA nearly broke her cover during Snake's subsequent torture, and was nearly killed by a suspicious Ocelot, before Snake put himself between the two, costing him the use of his right eye in the process. EVA organized an escape route for Snake when he eventually broke out of Groznyj Grad's prison, though the path was blocked by GRU soldiers, forcing Snake to risk his life by jumping from a waterfall. Afterwards, EVA met with Snake at Tikhogornyj, revealed the C3 she had stolen earlier, and gave it to Snake to aid him in destroying the Shagohod. She would also plant some of the C3 on a nearby rail bridge to prevent Volgin's forces from following them, when they made their escape. In addition, she also modified the C3 on the bridge with detonators that activate if touched, having anticipated the possibility that the GRU soldiers would discover them, and thus ensure that they don't remove them.

However, EVA's deception was discovered by Volgin when she attempted to obtain the Philosophers' Legacy from an underground vault, and was nearly killed by the colonel until The Boss volunteered to execute her personally (in reality, The Boss was actually trying to get her out of harm's way). Afterwards, when the Shagohod and Volgin had survived Snake's attempted sabotage, EVA came up with the plan to lure Volgin to the C3-laden rail bridge to destroy it. When that plan failed, EVA helped Snake defeat Volgin and the Shagohod once and for all by distracting Volgin while Snake shot at him. She eventually broke down after witnessing Volgin's violent death.

During their escape through Lazorevo, EVA became distracted by her motorcycle's ruptured fuel tank, causing the bike to crash. She received two lacerations: one a wound to her abdomen after being impaled on a tree branch, and another, lesser laceration on her left shoulder, although she survived thanks to Naked Snake, using Para-Medic's medical advice. She later helped Snake escape from Tselinoyarsk by piloting a WIG she had arranged to be located at Rokovoj Bereg, making a brief stop in Galena, Alaska. After she and Snake share a night of passion, EVA disappears the next morning, leaving an audio tape behind to explain her actions. In this tape, she revealed that she had been ordered to kill anyone who knew about her mission, though she made the distinct decision not to kill him as he slept on the cabin floor; not because they had fallen in love, but because she had promised The Boss not to. She also revealed that The Boss's true mission had been to recover the Legacy, by pretending to defect, with the knowledge that she would have to die to prove America's innocence to the Soviets, following the nuclear destruction of Sokolov's research facility.

EVA retrieved the microfilm containing the Philosophers' Legacy and the Shagohod's missile launch data for the Chinese government. With the launch data, the Chinese government eventually developed its own nuclear weapons technology later that year. However, the microfilm that EVA recovered turned out to be a fake. Unbeknownst to her, half of the real Legacy made it back into the hands of the CIA thanks to Ocelot. This blunder cost EVA her job at PLA Intelligence and she was expelled from China. Around the same time, Snake tried to locate EVA but could not find any trace of her.

Post-Snake Eater
EVA disappeared in Hanoi during the Vietnam War in 1968 according to official records.

When Naked Snake was questioned by FOX lieutenant Cunningham about what he witnessed during Operation Snake Eater, and while still feeling guilty about The Boss's death during Gene's San Hieronymo Takeover, one of his flashbacks included EVA.

The Patriots
Circa 1971, EVA was reunited with Big Boss (Naked Snake) after he rescued her in Hanoi. After traveling to America, she joined Zero's new organization, the Patriots, whose initial members included Big Boss, Para-Medic (Dr. Clark), Sigint and Ocelot, a.k.a. ADAM from Operation Snake Eater. She also learned of the CIA's own reasons for having The Boss assassinated, having become fearful of her influence.

In 1972, EVA volunteered to serve as a surrogate mother for the Les Enfants Terribles project designed to clone Big Boss and maintain his image as an icon for the organization. She was originally implanted with eight clone fetuses, though six were intentionally aborted in order to encourage stronger growth in the remaining two. EVA later gave birth to the clones who would become known as Solid Snake and Liquid Snake. Despite the fact that Big Boss disapproved and left the group to form his own private military company in opposition to Zero's methods, EVA saw the clones as her own children.

EVA would remain in contact with Big Boss, passing on cassette tape recordings to his Militaires Sans Frontières in 1974. In them, she detailed further information on The Boss's final mission in Groznyj Grad, and the motivations behind her actions, having been entrusted to pass this on to him. These tapes were later supplied to Big Boss by MSF's subcommander Kazuhira Miller, with the latter explaining that they were delivered with no return address except with the name EVA, with Big Boss hesitantly explaining that she was an "old acquaintance." In addition, Big Boss had previously speculated that EVA's original account on the reasons behind The Boss's mission, shortly after the end of Operation Snake Eater, may have been part of the CIA's cover up, after he encountered Dr. Strangelove at the AI lab.

After Big Boss's "death"
After young rookie Solid Snake unexpectedly foiled Big Boss's coups d'état in Outer Heaven and Zanzibar Land, Zero put Big Boss in a nanomachine-induced coma, which motivated EVA and Ocelot to secretly defect from the Patriots. EVA and Ocelot enlisted the assistance of Naomi Hunter and Gray Fox to kill Para-Medic (Dr. Clark) in 2005. Ocelot killed Donald Anderson (Sigint) himself during Liquid Snake's Shadow Moses Incident, but Zero was the last one alive and was still in hiding. Some time after Solidus Snake's Big Shell Incident, EVA fled to Eastern Europe and became "Big Mama", leader of the Paradise Lost Army. In addition to taking in war orphans, she worked to stop Zero's proxy-AIs and the war economy forever.

In 2014, during Old Snake's mission to terminate Liquid Ocelot, Raiden revealed that he had worked with Big Mama to steal Big Boss's body from the Patriots in exchange for help in rescuing Sunny. Snake went to Eastern Europe to find the body and keep it out of Ocelot's hands.

Snake followed a member of the Paradise Lost Army and ultimately reached Big Mama's hideout. There, she revealed to him the creation of the Patriots. She also revealed Big Boss's body, which was being kept alive, but unconscious, by nanomachines. However, in reality, this was really Solidus's body as Big Mama had acquired it to stand in as a ruse while she was repairing the damage done to Big Boss's real body, with parts from Liquid and Solidus, as well as waiting for the AI system to be brought down so Big Boss could be revived from his nanomachine-induced coma.

Soon after, it was discovered that a trio of Dwarf Gekko had followed Snake to the hideout, and PMCs were closing in on them. As EVA, members of the resistance, and Snake moved out, decoy vans were set to allow the van with the corpse of "Big Boss" to get away. Riding with EVA on her motorcycle, Snake protected her and the van from PMCs in a frantic chase through the city (which she also quickly recovered after being sniped by a Haven Trooper), until Raging Raven's continuous attacks caused them to crash. EVA fell from the motorcycle and became impaled on a protruding spike, in a manner identical to her bike crash in Tselinoyarsk, fifty years earlier. After Snake defeated Raven, he tended to the injured Big Mama, and they headed for their getaway cruiser and the corpse of "Big Boss" only to find Ocelot waiting for them. After Liquid beat Snake with CQC techniques and defeated Meryl Silverburgh and her troops by activating Guns of the Patriots, Ocelot had Vamp toss the corpse of "Big Boss" to Snake and EVA as it burnt (since Ocelot no longer needed Big Boss's DNA). EVA, in an exhausted and hallucinatory state, threw herself into the fire in order to save "Big Boss." Snake saved her from Ocelot's gunshot but badly burnt the left side of his face in the process. Snake held his "mother" in his arms until the moment she died.

After death
It appeared she died from the combination of her injuries from the motorcycle crash and from the fire into which she leapt attempting to save the biomort. Later, Big Boss revealed to Snake that EVA had actually died from a new strain of FOXDIE within Snake, and that she had been partially involved with the master plan of reviving Big Boss in order to stop Zero.

Etymology
The codename EVA is derived from "Eve," the first woman according to the Book of Genesis of The Bible who was created from Adam, the first man's, rib while he was sleeping. This was also referenced by Naked Snake in a radio conversation with Major Zero, when he mentions that he broke a rib in the conclusion of the Virtuous Mission and speculated whether she came from that. Eve also ended up betraying God's trust alongside Adam when tempted by the serpent in the Garden of Eden by eating from the forbidden fruit of knowledge, causing her and Adam to be exiled. EVA also refers to this account regarding her joining the Patriots, and also earlier, after Operation Snake Eater, when she mentioned that she "deceived the Snake" and "got away with the forbidden fruit" (referring to Naked Snake and what was then-believed to be the Philosophers' Legacy microfilm, respectively).

Her alias while acting as a member of the KGB, Tatyana, is the romanization of the Slavic feminine name "Tatiana," which is derived from the Latin and Sabine languages, in which it was the diminutive-feminine equivalent of Taitus, or "Titus."

Personality and traits
During Operation Snake Eater, EVA never revealed her real name to Naked Snake. When Snake asked for her for it, she refused to tell him and asked "What's wrong with Tanya?" Matka Pluku, the name she adopts during her anti-Patriot activities, is a Czech phrase that means "Mother of the Regiment."

As a spy, EVA used her feminine charm to infiltrate Volgin's ranks. During Operation Snake Eater, EVA told Naked Snake "the least you can do is call me Cynthia"; a reference to the codename of Amy Elizabeth Thorpe, known as the most successful spy in history. She was active during World War II, and used her wit and charm to elicit countless secrets, even the Naval codes of French Vichy government. Snake also called her "a regular Mata Hari", a Dutch exotic dancer during World War I who was accused and executed for being a spy. As "Tatyana," she was also one of the few Groznyj Grad personnel to be allowed in Groznyj Grad's weapons lab's west wing in spite of not holding the rank of Colonel.

EVA's personal data as of 1964 reveals that: her eyesight was 20/16; her blood type was "A"; her favorite liquor was wine (She is seen drinking it with Naked Snake in a CIA safehouse after they returned to the United States); her measurements were 36-23-33; her favorite flowers were roses; her favorite jewellery were emeralds; and her ring size was 5½. Her medical history reveals that she has had breast enhancements and proctitis. Prior to posing as EVA, she received a wound near her breast, but refused to answer Naked Snake when he asked her how she got it. Besides the wound near her breast, she also received multiple burns, cuts and other injuries because of Volgin's practicing his sadistic love of torture on her via "hentai play."

Because of the origin of her "codename," EVA often referenced the Book of Genesis, such as: playfully asking if Snake had come to "seduce her" when they met; her monologue about her successfully seducing the snake and getting away with the forbidden fruit; her mention of her being exiled from China regarding her theft of the forbidden fruit (or more specifically, her failure to steal the real forbidden fruit); and her attempt to get "Adam" (Ocelot) to remember her while he was seemingly possessed by Liquid Snake by holding out an apple to him. Likewise, when she was leading the Paradise Lost Army resistance movement, she based their headquarters inside a church.

Despite her job as a female agent, as well as her personal admission to Naked Snake that she would fall in love "if it was required in her mission," EVA did genuinely love him. She would later volunteer to give birth to Big Boss' children for Les Enfants Terribles. Unlike Big Boss, EVA did think of Solid Snake as her son. She also didn't attempt to seduce people who were uninterested in her, or any woman for that matter, and felt uncomfortable having to explain it to someone who didn't understand why.

EVA's hobby was motorbiking. Rosemary speculated that one of the reasons why she was so skilled with a bike was because she was afflicted with rider's high. According to her in both Operation Snake Eater and Liquid Ocelot's Insurrection, the only time she'd ever disembark from her motorcycle was either if she "fell in love" or if she died. Similarly, she was also skilled with piloting aircraft, having done so with a WIG nearing the conclusion of Operation Snake Eater.

EVA's favorite food were instant noodles, while her least favorite food were potatoes (which is ironic since she was born and raised in Idaho, where potatoes are famously grown). According to her food history, she has also eaten a Tsuchinoko. EVA planned to have a sushi dinner with Naked Snake, upon returning to the United States at the conclusion of Operation Snake Eater, expressing surprise when Snake mentioned that he wanted to try Otton Frog. In addition, because of her supposed "training" under the KGB, she also frequently had various luxury meals like French and Italian.

EVA's favorite animals were dogs. She once owned a dog named Fido with whom she had much difficulty housebreaking, and was so happy upon succeeding that she sometimes dreamed about that day.

In 2014, EVA carried a Chinese Type 17 pistol similar to the one from Operation Snake Eater, which she lost during the bike chase at Groznyj Grad.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
EVA is introduced in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. EVA's character model was based by Hideo Kojima on a gravure idol he liked ("○○里", possibly meaning Chisato Morishita (森下 千里)), and her personality traits were inspired by Fujiko Mine from Lupin III. According to Kojima, EVA's character was disliked by the English cast due to her personality. The defection of NSA code breakers ADAM and EVA is based on a real life incident that occurred in September 1960. EVA's alias, Tatyana, is also the name of the Bond Girl in From Russia with Love. The biking goggles that EVA wore was a reference to the epilogue of Policenauts, where Meryl Silverburgh was seen wearing Dave Forrester's goggles around her neck in her final appearance.

Although Laughing Octopus holds the distinction of being the first character to use the word "fuck" in the English version of the series, it was first used by EVA in the Japanese version of Metal Gear Solid 3, when she says "Fuck you" in English to Volgin. This line was changed to "Go to hell" during localization.

Interactive gameplay

 * In Metal Gear Solid 3, during some of the first-person view cutscene moments, if the player presses R1, Naked Snake may be looking at EVA's breasts or behind.
 * If the player refrains from removing the transmitter from Snake, after his torture session in Groznyj Grad, the path to the waterfall will be guarded by an Ocelot Unit. Nevertheless, for navigating through this, the reward is a hilarious slapstick scene in which EVA removes the transmitter herself.
 * The scene in question depicts EVA telling Snake that there was something embedded into his body, with EVA then having her remove it the way she was "trained" to do within the KGB; by having Snake lift up his hips and having her yank the transmitter out. Likewise, a few times the scene shifts to the shadows on the wall, a'la the Austin Powers franchise, where it shows EVA and Snake's shadows engaged in a wrestling match, with EVA's shadow also winning over Snake's shadow, and also laced with some double entendres. Snake also wonders how EVA knew about the transmitter inside his back, thinking it was some good female intuition before tossing the transmitter into the fire.
 * If the player arrives at the Tikhogornyj Waterfall during an alert phase, the scene of her arrival will be extended slightly where it depicts EVA killing the guards before jumping into the waterfall cave on her bike.
 * During the escape through the woods, EVA can be interrogated for her personal information. During this time, she'll also say "up up down down left right left right...", referring to the Konami Code. Also, if the player puts a magazine on the floor, she will be disgusted.
 * If the player tranquilizes EVA in Zaozyorje, she will start talking in her sleep about Snake, The Boss, and her dog named Fido, repeating the phrases, "mmm, right there" and "that feels so good..."
 * If the player called her in Bolshaya Past South, EVA will tell Snake about The Boss carrying EVA's bags for her, commenting on how she sometimes dreams about it. She would also tell Snake that she used to have a dog, commenting on how she sometimes dreams about the day her dog became housebroken. This provides a significantly different context regarding her sleep talking about The Boss and her dog.
 * If the player drags EVA while she is tranquilized through mud, it will change her hair color brown.
 * If the player harasses her too many times, EVA will kick Naked Snake in the groin hard enough to kill him.
 * If EVA's HP reaches more than half and she doesn't have any serious non-story related injuries by the time they reach Zaozyorje East, checking EVA in the model viewer will have her wearing her black bikini instead of her biker outfit.
 * If the player calls EVA when backtracking to Dremuchij, Dolinovodno, Ponizovje and Graniny Gorki, in addition to supplying information about the areas, she'll also question Snake as to why Snake is back in those areas and remind him to continue forward to the next area.
 * If the player had earlier procured the book weapon, still had it in his/her inventory, and called EVA shortly after leaving the prison area of Groznyj Grad, EVA, when questioned by Snake as to whether or not she threw any items away, will respond that she didn't throw anything away, not even the magazine that Snake had while sarcastically referring to it as a "fine piece of literature" to Snake's embarrassment.
 * If the player views EVA's model viewer at certain points in the day at full health, there is a 50% chance each time that she will be doing something different. Early morning, she is seen doing morning exercises. At prime time, she is making alluring poses that involve her putting her hand on her hip and chest. At midnight, she is either lying down or making a sexy pose.
 * If the player utilizes the x-ray mode in the Survival Viewer's "Heal" section, the outline of EVA's nipples can be seen.
 * During the trek through Zaozyorje, EVA's medical and food history can be accessed.

Below is the Medical and Food related items she had prior to Zaozyorje:

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
In Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, EVA briefly appears in a flashback to Operation Snake Eater in the opening cutscene, when Cunningham questions Naked Snake about the aforementioned mission. She appears in the game proper as a bonus recruitable character, and is the only unique hidden character to have a graphic novel still of her, as seen during her recruitment debriefing. An image of EVA is also featured on the pages of the Magazine item.

EVA is indirectly referenced in an optional radio conversation with Roy Campbell, when he advises Snake about using psychology to have him find a girl. Sokolov also mentions "Tatyana" in another optional radio conversation, when he tells Snake to stay away from "women like that."

Recruitment
According to the recruitment mission in Portable Ops, EVA left the PLA after Operation Snake Eater due to the threat of execution for her failure to obtain the Philosophers' Legacy. She later became a freelance cargo pilot, and had made several deliveries to the San Hieronymo Peninsula, Colombia. Despite the fact that the CIA had supplied her with a fake microfilm, she had no hard feelings against Naked Snake, as she realized that this was naturally expected in the spy business. EVA intended to rescue Snake after he contacted her by radio, having discovered her frequency at the peninsula's security base. However, she was shot down by a surface-to-air missile before she could land at the airport, resulting in her crash-landing in the western wilderness. After she is rescued by Snake, the two embrace and are given some privacy by Snake's ally Roy Campbell.

This article considers the events of the recruitment mission, in which Snake is first reunited with EVA after Operation Snake Eater, to be non-canon. This is due to the contradictory account given by EVA herself in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, in which she was rescued by Big Boss in Hanoi around the time of the Patriots' founding (having gone missing there in 1968 according to Metal Gear Solid 3).

The procedure outlined below details how the player can recruit EVA:


 * After recruiting Sokolov, the player will be informed of a Spy Report from the Silo Entrance that was never actually received. Head to the Silo Entrance and interrogate the Soviet Officer located on top of the bridge area. The Officer will mention "a man with twirling revolvers" who was seen in the Town.


 * A Spy Report from the Town will then be received, regarding a Government Official who prowls around at night time. Head to the Town at nightfall and locate the Government Official in one of the upper buildings. Interrogate him about the "revolver-twirling man," and he will mention that he went to the Airport to visit a friend.


 * Travel to the Airport and interrogate the FOX soldier at the control deck in order to learn the man's radio frequency: 141.23.


 * A Spy Report from the Guest House will then be received, regarding another Government Official. Head to the Guest House, locate the Official, and interrogate him twice. He will then reveal that there is a radio frequency written inside one of the lockers at the Security Base.


 * A Spy Report from the Western Wilderness will then be received, regarding yet another Government Official. Head to the Western Wilderness, locate the Official, then, rather than interrogate him, capture him instead.


 * Travel to the Security Base, and locate the radio frequency in a locker in the northwestern building: 142.52.


 * Next, travel to the main building of the Comm Base, and relay the second frequency (142.52). EVA will answer, and inform Snake that she will arrive on the peninsula in a week. After waiting a week, a Spy Report will be received, regarding the crash of EVA's plane in the Western Wilderness.


 * Head to the Western Wilderness, and locate EVA in the basement cell. After the following conversation, EVA will automatically be recruited.

The PAL password, used as an alternate means of unlocking EVA as a playable character, is 016K/HYH: the motorcycle license plate for the motorcycle she used during their escape from Groznyj Grad during the climax of Snake Eater.

"A female spy encountered by Snake during Operation Snake Eater. Once worked with the National Security Agency (NSA), but later defected to the Soviet Union, posing as lovers for both Colonel Volgin and Nikolai Sokolov. She would later aid Snake in his mission."

- Official description in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
During development for Metal Gear Solid 4, it was originally planned that EVA, as Big Mama, was to have brunette colors with a different hairstyle, although it was changed in the final version to blonde with some resemblance to her earlier hairstyle.

This game is the first to reveal that EVA was the surrogate mother of the Twin Snakes for the Les Enfants Terribles project. Previously, this individual was unidentified, as they were simply referred to as "someone" by Liquid Snake in the original Metal Gear Solid. Coincidentally, Big Boss' bio in Millennium Books' 1998 Metal Gear Solid: Official Mission Handbook, claims that the project was also known as the "Eve Project."

Though Metal Gear Solid 4 states that EVA was involved in Ocelot's plan to destroy the Patriots, it is unknown if she was truly aware of Ocelot's willing assumption of Liquid Snake's persona as part of said plan. Piggyback Interactive's Complete Official Guide states that EVA died believing Liquid's ambitions had really taken over those of Ocelot, and that Ocelot had intentionally concealed the truth of his possession from her. On the other hand, in the Metal Gear Solid: Guns of the Patriots novelization by Project Itoh, EVA is not only aware of Ocelot's deception, she is also partially responsible for it by using a prototype version of the system used for the S3 Plan and the SOP system that she stole upon defection from the Patriots.

EVA's Type 17 pistol can be obtained in Metal Gear Solid 4 by either earning the Hound emblem in a single-player session, or by using a password (See Secrets).

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
EVA herself does not physically appear in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, but she is referenced a few times. In addition, her final message to Big Boss after Operation Snake Eater can be heard shortly after Big Boss was forced to euthanize The Boss's horse, and is also selectable in the Data Files entry of the Briefing Files. She also supplied Snake with tapes detailing The Boss's history during Chapter 5.

EVA's revelation to Big Boss about The Boss's true mission in Tselinoyarsk is heard during Peace Walker, after Big Boss fails in his pursuit of Peace Walker into Nicaragua. Also, EVA is briefly referenced by Big Boss and Kazuhira Miller in a conversation shortly after Extra Op. Mission # 29.

Other appearances
EVA makes a cameo appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as an obtainable sticker, usable exclusively by Solid Snake in The Subspace Emissary.

EVA's and Olga Gurlukovich's outfits can be used as costumes in Rumble Roses XX.

EVA is featured in the Versus Battle feature on the series official website. Coincidentally, similar to how Rumble Roses XX used the costumes of both EVA and Olga, EVA's opponent is Olga Gurlukovich.
