Eve is an artificial human who was created to be the first in a line of super soldiers,having had her DNA fused with nanomachines she has the ability to change her body's shape and genetic make-up.She was raised to be emotionless,and as a result something that is considered normal is new to her.

She first met Sven and Train when Sven had wanted to save her while the Chronos has sent Train to kill her and destroy all the research data used in her creation,choosing to spare her life being one of the reasons Train left the organization. In the anime she is driven berserk by her creator and ordered to attack Train, while in the manga Train prevents the process from taking place.

At the beginning of the series Eve is wary of Train claiming he smells like blood,having given Train the bell he wears on his neck after reading that bells allow you to know where a bad cat is.They eventually develop into rivals over the position of being Sven's partner,and Train gives her the nickname "Little Princess".

Her hobby is reading books of varying degree of difficulty; she can memorize any book she reads after reading it once, usually confusing the others by using complicated words she's learned, and her power to transform becomes more refined the more she learns.

He always wears a bell around his neck to remind him of what he once was and could once more become. In the manga, he already has the bell from book one. In the anime, Eve gives him the bell from the fable of the Black Cat.

Sven Vollfied (スヴェン＝ボルフィード)

Birthday: June 23
Height: 180cmC, Inventing support items

Motto: be kind to women and weak children

Former IBI detective, Sven is now a sweeper, and Train's partner. He also takes Eve in as a sort of daughter after the events at Torneo's place. Sven's outlook is much calmer and more logical than Train's; he often has to use his brain to win battles since he doesn't possess the Black Cat's pure physical power. He follows a strict "gentlemen's code", which often makes him seem older to other characters.

The Forseeing Eye (under the eyepatch) allows him to glimpse into the future at the cost of great mental strain. In the manga, it eventually evolves into the Glasper Eye which can manipulate time. He otherwise fights with a briefcase filled with gadgets.
