Background
When her father demoted Tenma for operating on the boy Johan instead of Mayor Roedecker, Eva broke off the engagement, dropping the ring in front of him and calling him a fool. After her father's death she tried to win Tenma back, but he walked away. She sank into drink, kept herself afloat by marrying and divorcing several times, and still followed Tenma: on the night Adolf Junkers was killed she saw Johan leave the scene. Bitter, she corresponded with Inspector Lunge and wanted Tenma in prison, though not dead; the hired killer Roberto, learning that she had seen Johan, set out to kill her.
Persuaded by Dr. Reichwein and the lawyer Fritz Verdemann to help clear Tenma, she was given a bodyguard, Martin, by Petr Capek and the Baby; he fell in love with her and was shot after letting her escape. At Frankfurt Central Station she and Tenma reconciled. After Ruhenheim she tells Dr. Reichwein she has overcome her anger and her grief over Martin and gives him her scrapbook of clippings on Tenma. In the novel Another Monster she admits she still believes not all lives are equal.
