Personality
Eva personality is also complex and only she and Arthur know why she is so loyal to him. This had cause conflict between her and Cayla Wallace because Cayla says, "Eva know Arthur better than I does." Cayla statement is probable corrected. When asks by Admiral Corman wife, Mary Corman, "Why are you so loyal to Arthur." Eva replies, "I'm his and nobody else's." For an interview for Caprican News during about Arthur promoted to Admiral she says, "I'm completed loyal to him," a comment that got both her and Arthur in trouble because several in the Admiralty didn't like that she is more loyal to Arthur than the Colonial Fleet. Also because of this she can't really service on any other ship beside Arthur’s battlestar, because have no one else will had her; not even Commander William Adama. Adama was quote, "That women is bad news, she will one moment smile at you and then the next moment stab you in the back if Arthur tell her too because of that I will allow Arthur to hand her." However Adama did allow Kara Thrace to service on the Galactica. Another quote of her causes much controversy for herself and Arthur.

When asks by a report to talk about her relationship with Arthur she was only comment off the record; however the report recorder her comment anyway. When Eva replies to the question of her relationship with Arthur she says, "I'm his slut and only his slut." When the Colonial Fleet got wind of this, she and Arthur both face court martial for a superior officer having a relationship with a lower officer however the Fleet was unable to proven there was a relationship and it came out that the comment was a false statement. However Arthur pays the report to claim she had false the comment to save his and Eva's career.

While Eva's had her shortcoming she is strong, loyal and an honorable officer. She will do anything to complete her task and anything Arthur asks her to do. Arthur once compares her to Saul Tigh saying, "She is like Tigh expect she is much better looking." She also doesn’t have a drinking problem like Tigh does.
