The first new character created for EVA:R, Lyn Anouilh is meant to act as a new source of interaction among the EVA pilots.  While the boy is of English descent, the name "Anouilh"  Is actually French;  This is due to a mixed English-French heritage, being the son of a British mother and a French Father.  Like many of the EVA characters, Lyn's name gives some insight into his personality, its strengths and weaknesses.  Forced to confront many of the situations Shinji had been placed in, albeit from a completely different point of view, Anouilh's perspective is, at first, that of a stranger in a strange land.   

Brought in as a liason for the 6th child, Seyoko is a member of the ambiguous and ever present UNSynaps, a multi-national organization created within the UN for the sole purpose of connecting its various branches around the world.  A 23 year old "Career Girl," it seems that she is, at first, only concerned with finishing her assignment to Nerv and getting on with her life.  Though smart and dedicated, Seyoko suffers from the serious personality flaw of running away in the face of failure; something that has been confronted many times before in the series.  It is also important to note that she speaks English with a distinctly British accent.  This seems to indicate that she is, in some way, connected to Anouilh's family--at least, as something more than just the boy's escort.  Time will only tell, however, what kind of connection that is . . . 

A favorite among readers, Aoi Tamashii embodies many of the things that are distinctly lacking in the personalities of the other characters.  Namely, a positive outlook on life, as well as an adventurous sense of self-purpose.  Outgoing and friendly, Aoi seems to gravitate toward those that need the closeness of others, especially in the cases of  Lyn Anouilh and Rei Ayanami.  Having been in Tokyo 3 since the very beginning of the Angel conflict, Tamashii seems to have no real opinion of the invaders,their actions,or and motives.  It seems, however, that she has much to say about other people, and sometimes she is TOO friendly, to the point of being flirtatious.  Like Lyn and Seyoko, Aoi's name reveals quite a bit about her personality . . . as well as certain other aspects of her being . . . 

A tall, somewhat lanky fellow, Goro is one of the many children whose family fled after the decimation of Tokyo 3, only to return after the destruction of the 17th angel weeks later.  Though a bit clumsy, he is a good-natured child with, seemingly, an incessantly worrisome nature.  Much like the others, his name lends a clue to his origins.    

The "child in the tube," Tenkei, it seems is Ritsuko Akagi's last chance for retribution.  An incredibly emotional, active creature, Tenkei is the final product of the Human Complementation Project--that is, he is a complement, in the physiological sense.  When interfaced with an EVA pilot, the Ev. n  (Evangelion Neural) A114 Complement increases the Pilot/EVA synchronization ratio well above the 100% mark, with no apparent danger to the pilot's mental or physical well being.  It seems, however, that he has "imprinted" on the first child, Rei Ayanami, for he refuses to come into such contact with anyone else!  The child speaks in a broken, unidentifiable tongue, strung together by an ambiguous intellect.  It is quite obvious, however, that there is far, far  more to him that meets the eye. 

Both a contemporary and long time friend of Maya Ibuki, Yuri Furikawa is first introduced a bit late in the series.  A control operator (EVA Tactical ops, to be exact) fresh out of training, this girl has been best known, among those she works with, for looking for humor in even the gloomiest of situations. Her inexperience as a control operator means that, invariably, she cannot help but think of the EVAs as merely machines . . . and the pilots as merely tools.  This goes without saying, however, as this is how most of the staff at Nerv views the children, regardless.  Despite her naivete, however, Yuri will quickly prove herself to be both a competent tech, and a loyal friend.
