EVE

“	Directive?	„
	~ EVE

“	WALL-E!	„
	~ EVE to WALL-E, her repeated catchphrase.

EVE (full name: Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator) is the deuteragonist of Pixar's 9th full-length animated feature film WALL•E. She is a robot created by Buy N Large with the intention of searching Earth to find any sign of natural life.

She was voiced by Elissa Knight.

What Makes Her Pure Good?[]

She is sent to search for evidence of sustainable life on Earth, eventually finding a plant that WALL-E found.
Even though she tries to destroy WALL-E when first meeting him, it was only because she thinks he is a threat to her, and she returns to her mission when she realizes he isn't.
After losing her temper, she decides to move on from her directive and get to know WALL-E a little before a sandstorm and they have to take shelter in his truck.
When WALL-E's eye lenses get damaged, she shows concern for his pain and decides to help him.
While she does get angry and embarrassed at WALL-E sneaking onto the ship and finding her, this is understandable given he could get her in trouble, which would risk humanity never getting back to Earth.
After the captain scans her and found no plant, she tries searching WALL-E for it and tells him to find it.
While she does get mad at WALL-E when she thinks he lost the plant, this is understandable since this leads to her having to be run through diagnostics for no reason.
Even though she is visibly annoyed during the diagnostics checkup, she tries to stop WALL-E from activating her arm gun when he grabs it and calls him out when he fires it as this set loads of defective robots loose, although it is an accident.
She tries to get her arm gun back from WALL-E so he can not use it, before proceeding to escape from the security robots and send him back to Earth, which is understandable since he accidentally made them both fugitives and him not being on the ship would allow him to not get into trouble.
When GO-4 sends WALL-E on an escape pod with the plant, she rushes to save them both and is saddened when she sees it explode. Luckily, WALL-E is able to escape with a fire extinguisher.
When it turns out WALL-E and the plant have survived, she gives WALL-E a kiss and dances with him.
She gives the plant to the captain so he can use it to bring the Axiom back home.
When she realizes how much WALL-E has done to protect and care for her, she feels guilty about how she acted towards him during their argument as well as returning her feelings to him.
After realizing she has feelings for WALL-E, she tries to go back to him since she left him down below while she gave the plant to the captain, only to be stopped by AUTO.
She tries to arrest GO-4 and get the plant back from him.
She is horrified when AUTO shocks WALL-E.
She frees WALL-E from the garbage that is going to be shot into space.
When she sees WALL-E's circuit board that allowed him to work is busted, she tries to find a matching one.
When WALL-E gives her the plant so she can complete her mission, she tosses it away to show she has grown to love WALL-E so much that she puts him above her job.
After WALL-E convinces her, she decides to bring the plant to the Holo-Detector. While part of this is just to save WALL-E's life, she also does it because she genuinely wants to save humanity.
While she does destroy the SECUR-T robots, this isn't a corrupting factor since the SECUR-Ts are not sapient and it was necessary to get to the Holo-Detector. Plus it is out of self-defense, as they try to capture her and the rest of the robots.
After AUTO turns the ship around, she saves a tram from crushing a bunch of humans.
After AUTO crushes WALL-E, she is horrified and puts the plant to save him.
Upon arriving on Earth, the first thing she does was save WALL-E by fixing him except his memories, but that is also fixed when she gives him a goodbye kiss.
She helps WALL-E and the captain bring life back to Earth.
While she is seemingly lethal due to attacking WALL-E and HAL in the beginning of the film, these acts are done out of self-defense as she was exploring uncharted territory, this is only strengthened by the fact that the moment she realizes they aren't harmful, she ceases to attack them all together. Furthermore, it is rather necessary as if she risks her life, then humankind would have never been able to return to Earth.
While she appeared to be wrathful in the beginning of the film, said behavior seems to cease by the end, or at the very least mellow out enough to the point where she doesn't actively harm anyone.
While she is a robot, she is able to feel human emotions such as love and sadness, and is shown to be able to go against her directive as seen when she briefly abandoned it in exchange for being with WALL-E, showing that she has a full moral agency.

Trivia[]

She was originally considered Near Pure Good due to it being thought that she was lethal and wrathful. However, once it was pointed out that her lethality was done out of self-defense, and her wrathfulness was subverted, not to mention that her wrathfulness didn't need to go beyond the scope of reform for her to be Wholly Reformed, she was subsequently proposed and approved for Pure Good.
