Shinji
is for the most part of the time an extremely troubled
individual, however, most of his ordeals are worsened, and
often even caused, by his severe lack of self confidence.
Shinji finds it incredibly hard to express his feelings
towards others for the fear of being emotionally hurt, and
is all too often unwilling to adapt to new situations.
The fact that Shinji hasn't had the best of
relationships with his scheming father, Gendo Ikari, having
chosen to run away many years ago, and coupled with the loss
of his mother, Yui Ikari, at an early age hasn't made his
life any easier to deal with. Yet unfortunately running away
from bad situations is one of Shinji's personal traits, one
that he must over come in order to lead a less stressful
life. Unable, or simply unwilling, to bear the company of
his father after living alone in exile for so many years,
Shinji chooses instead to accept Misato's invitation to live
with her on his arrival to Tokyo-3, something which is a big
step for Shinji. Although Misato turns out to be not quite
the ideal roommate Shinji had in mind, the bizarre situation
he finds himself thrown into does help him to open up a
little.
Shinji is also the reluctant pilot of EVA-01, though no
one really knows why he continues to pilot the Eva as he's
made it quite clear on several occasions now that he would
rather not be it pilot. |
