Asuka Langley Soryu. She's been a bitch, a bigger bitch, a sexually repressed bitch... You get the idea.
But, what if something happened during her childhood besides the death of her mother to make her, well... More mellow?

The rotors of the landed helicopter blew up considerable turbulence, and Toji's hat was quickly blown off his head.
"HEY! COME BACK!" Toji shouted uselessly at the cap, and chased after it as fast as he could. He'd bought it to impress Misato! What kind of a man would he be if he lost it?!
The hat stopped at last, and Toji reached to pick it up. He stood up and sighed, pulling the hat back on. He turned around... Only to squeal like a little girl at the sudden appearance of a teenaged girl with long red hair and a yellow sundress.
"GYAAH!"
"Hello!" Asuka said brightly. "I'm Asuka Langley Soryu! Who are you?"
"Uh, Toji..." The jock smiled. Hey, a cute girl on this trip? This is looking better and better!
"Nice to meet you!" Asuka said cheerfully. "Are you the Third Child?"
"Uh, no," Toji said. He pointed over Asuka's shoulder. "That would be him."
Asuka slowly turned around and stared at Misato and Shinji, the Third Child smiling nervously. Behind them, Kensuke was energetically filming everything.
"Hello Asuka! You've grown a lot!" Misato greeted. Asuka blinked and slowly tilted her head. Her eyes focused on an area just above Misato's shoulder, which the NERV tactical ops officer followed, frowning.
"You know, I think I have... Mmhm, I'm bigger," Asuka said vaguely. She wandered over to Shinji and smiled.
"You've grown too, right? Since I last saw you?"
"Since we last met...?" Shinji asked vaguely.
"We've met before? When! I want to know and-Ooh! A seagull! This far out? Wow!" Asuka chirped happily. The white bird arched over the flight deck, and Asuka happily ran after it. Shinji's eyes widened as he saw she was headed right for the edge of the deck, and ran after her.
"H-HEY! WAIT!"
Asuka giggled, reaching for the bird one step too far. Her eyes widened as though she was completely surprised to be on the edge of the flight deck.
"W-W-WOAH-!"
Shinji yanked the redheaded girl back on deck, both falling down. Shinji panted hard, before realizing Asuka was sitting on his lap. He blushed bright red and scooted away.
"Uh, S-Sorry! I mean-!"
"Awww," Asuka sighed. "The bird got away! Kind of like a cloud... Hey, what do you think?"
"... About?" Shinji hazarded. Asuka frowned.
"About clouds. Do you think birds fly through them and don't have any problems?"
"Uh... I... Guess?" Shinji answered, as Misato and Kensuke helped them up to their feet. Asuka blinked, eyes once more staring somewhere over Shinji's shoulder.
"Because clouds are very cold and wet. Do you think the birds would freeze? I mean, all they've got is their feathers..."
"Uh, Asuka, why don't we go inside so I can make my report to the Admiral?" Misato suggested, smiling nervously. Asuka didn't notice and just beamed.
"Sure! Maybe he knows something about birds and clouds, seeing that he's an admiral and all..."
"Toji, Kensuke, go with her? I'll be along soon," Misato ordered. The two boys, only too happy to escort a cute girl at the command of Shinji's sexy guardian, led the babbling Asuka towards the island. She sighed, and looked over at Shinji, who was staring in disbelief at her.
"... That's the Second Child?"
"Yes. Yes she is," Misato sighed.
"... Do I want to know what happened to her?" Shinji asked again. Misato coughed.
"Um... Probably not..."
- - - -
An Asuka who takes after Osaka from Azumanga Daioh. Maybe she hit her head, maybe she's on drugs, maybe her mother's soul inside her Eva did it to her-Whatever the reason, she's easily distracted and her mind wanders in obscure and oblique ways.
And Shinji and Rei have to work with a girl who would just as happily run through the rain naked as chase a butterfly in her Eva.
Gendo, I believe your scenario may be toast.
