Why She Rocks

 * 1) She is the most popular character in the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise, as well as Gainax's flagship character.
 * 2) This American teenage girl became famous among every all-American adult male.
 * 3) She became one of biggest all-American icons.
 * 4) To steal the show, she wears her most iconic outfit, to increase her cuteness, and make herself an all-American tomboy.
 * 5) *Including a blue dress, white short-sleeved t-shirt, white knee-high tight stockings with a red line and a pair of very shiny black Mary Jane shoes. Asuka's hair is loose with the flanks held in twin tails with her Interface Headset. To complete the ensemble, a red bow on her collar provides a centerpiece as well as a bit of contrast against her iconic outfit.
 * 6) Like most of the tomboys, she really loves boyish hobbies, such as fighting, sports and playing video games.
 * 7) Her popularity in America was extremely spectacular.
 * 8) Her theme music, Asuka Strikes! was pure American.
 * 9) Her only best friend was a pigtailed tomboy, Hikari Horaki.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) She treats Shinji like crap at times.
