I just replaced Eva characters with FP ones with minor plot edits, except that Neera isn't an alcoholic or a slacker like Misato is. With the Magister gone, she had to take a strong front and lead the remaining people through hard times. The type of commander that puts on a strong facade in order to help others and hide her doubts of surviving everyday.
Sorry if that didn't help, but it's what I've got so far. And I'm not gonna retread Eva 3.33 entirely because that movie is dumb and everyone, including me, hates it.
