Eve Nasod (Korean: 이브) was an upper-class Nasod who once was called "The Little Queen of Nasods," back when Humans and Nasods coexisted in Ancient Elrios. The times were peaceful and they worked side by side with their creators. However, the reign of prosperity was fleeting, as the power of El began to weaken. Nasod civilization declined without its power source. They sought help from the humans but were denied and, thus, the Nasod-Human war began. Years passed with the humans winning the ancient war but at the same time diminished the El's power. Only a few ancient Nasods survived the war and made it back into their preservation capsules. For thousands of years, Eve was preserved in her capsule unit to avoid the catastrophe until an El fragment accidentally flew into it. Eve woke up only to find out that she was stranded alone in this new present time. She gathered her remaining energy and ancient knowledge and joined the El search party to revive King Nasod and the Nasod race as the last Nasod in the world.

Eve uses her powers of machinery to take down enemy forces for her. She can summon Nasods from her kingdom to aid her in her battle. A dash-jump causes Eve to 'Glide', increasing movement speed that diminishes over time. Eve can dash multiple times in the air, granting her high Air Mobility.

It shoots lasers when skills are activated and blocks damage completely when attacked. It is consumed completely when attacking and is consumed slowly when blocking. Additional Core charges can be gained by attacking enemies or by getting hit. Also, at the expense of Core charges, she can 'backslide', escaping from additional hits. Activating Awakening Level 3 boosts Queen's Core, significantly increasing its damage and blocking capabilities as well as its recharge speed. When Queen's Core is deactivated (when the awakening duration runs out), Eve gains health and mana depending on the level of the awakening. Code: Recovery lets Eve to recover some of her HP using her MP, gaining a different buff depending on her job path.

As Code: Sariel, she completely abandoned her emotions and upgraded herself further through the Sariel Code turn herself into more powerful but heartless killing machine as the "Queen of Radiant Lights".
	Code: Unknown	Code: Failess	Code: Anithese
	Unlocking the Unknown Code, Eve denies the downfall of the Nasod Kingdom, taking things into her own hands. Losing her ability to fly and attempting to become a perfect Queen, Eve no longer sees her drones, Moby and Remy, as companions, but rather tools for the glory of the Nasod Kingdom's resurrection. All of her abilities are based on virus' and previous malware, implying that Eve is so obsessed with being perfect that her use of unconditional methods has ultimately doomed her relationship with all of her allies.
