Eva Heinemann

Eva is initially a haughty woman, spoiled by her father and status, often displaying an elitist attitude and looking down on people who she perceives as being "beneath" her. However, as the series progresses and she experiences different (sometimes tragic) losses in her life, she eventually comes to grow and mature as a person.

Gender Female Relatives Udo Heinemann (father) Nationality German Occupation Interior designer Eva's relationship with her father, though left largely unexplored, is shown to be overwhelmingly positive, in spite of his often ethically questionable actions. In fact, Eva seems to justify and even embrace her father's world outlook that "not all lives are equal" over the philosophies of people like Kenzō Tenma (Eva's more kind-hearted fiancee), such that Tenma becomes visibly disturbed and disgusted at the conversation of Eva and her father when they meet with him to discuss their future. When her father demotes Tenma after he operates on the boy Johan Liebert instead of Mayor Roedecker, she readily and even enthusiastically acquiesces to his decision, calling off her engagement to Tenma before telling Tenma that he's a fool, though she later comes to regret these actions. When her father dies, Eva is visibly distraught as she breaks down and sobbing during his funeral, even as Tenma and others attempt to comfort her. Although her character development allows her to progress beyond being beholden to her father's will and desires and though she becomes a kinder and more sincere person as a result, she nevertheless admits to Werner Weber in "Another Monster" that she still believes that "not all lives are equal", implying that she has never stopped respecting her father and his worldview. Eva's relationship with Tenma can best be described as deeply complex and evolving throughout the series. Initially, Eva appears very affectionate toward Tenma in anticipation of their upcoming engagement and due to his prominent position among her father's hospital staff as the ascendant chief neurosurgeon.
