Background
At the start of the series Misato brings Shinji Ikari to NERV and persuades him to pilot Unit-01, then has him move in with her rather than live alone, and later takes in Asuka Langley Soryu too; her pet penguin Pen Pen shares the apartment. At fourteen she went with her father, Dr. Katsuragi, on the Katsuragi Expedition to Antarctica that caused Second Impact. Through her former lover Ryoji Kaji she learns the truth about the Human Instrumentality Project and how far NERV and SEELE have gone to keep it secret.
