Eve is a Demon in Shin Megami Tensei: Nine.
Profile
Origin
She is the wife of Adam. Her name means ‘life’. According to the Book of Genesis 2:21 of the Old Testament et seq., she was the first woman created from a piece of Adam’s rib.
She was tempted by the serpent to eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge that grew in the centre of the Garden of Eden, which she encouraged her husband to do, and thus she and Adam were banished from paradise.
In the pseudepigrapha Book of Jubilees 4, the details of their children are as followed: after Abel, a daughter named Awan was born, and after Seth, another daughter named Azura was born.
In the pseudepigrapha The Life of Adam and Eve and The Apocalypse of Moses, Eve and her son Seth watch as Adam’s body is buried by angels. Only six days later, she breathed her last.
In this work, she always appears with Adam. In characteristics and design, she and her husband are a pair, truly one and the same.[1]
