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 was sent to search for evidence of sustainable life on Earth, eventually finding a plant that WALL-E found.
Even though she tried to destroy WALL-E when first meeting him, it was only because she thought he was a threat to her, and she returned to her mission when she realized he wasn't a threat.
After losing her temper, she decided to move on from her directive and get to know WALL-E a little before a sandstorm and they had to take shelter in his truck.
When WALL-E's eye lenses were damaged, she showed concern for his pain and decided to help him.
While she did get angry and embarrassed at WALL-E sneaking onto the ship and finding her, this is understandable giving he could get her in trouble, which would risk humanity never getting back to Earth.
After the captain scanned her and found no plant, she tried searching WALL-E for it and told him to find it.
While she did get mad at WALL-E when she thought he lost the plant, this is understandable since this led to her having to be cleaned.
She tried to stop WALL-E from activating her arm gun when he grabbed it and called him out when he fired it as this set loads of defective robots loose, although it was an accident.
She tried to get her arm gun back from WALL-E so he could 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 sent WALL-E on an escape pod with the plant, she rushed to save them both and felt concerned when it blew up with them seemingly in it.
When it turned out WALL-E and the plant survived she gave WALL-E a kiss and danced with him.
She gave the plant to the captain so he could use it to bring the Axiom back home.
After realizing she has feelings for WALL-E, she tried 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 tried to arrests GO-4 and get the plant back from him.
She was horrified when AUTO shocked WALL-E.
She freed WALL-E from the garbage that was going to be shot into space.
When she saw WALL-E's circuit board that allowed him to work was busted, she tried to find a matching one.
When WALL-E gave her the plant so she could complete her mission, she tossed it away to show she had grown to love WALL-E so much that she put him above her job.
After WALL-E convinced her, she decided to bring the plant to the holo-detector. While part of this was just to save WALL-E's life, she also did it because she genuinely wanted to save humanity.
While she did destroy the halt robots, this isn't a corrupting factor since the halt robots are not sapient and it was necessary to get to the holo-detector.
After AUTO turned the ship around, she saved a tram from crushing a bunch of humans.
After AUTO crushed WALL-E, she was horrified and put the plant to save him.
Upon arriving on Earth, the first thing she did was save WALL-E by fixing him except his memories, but that was also fixed when she gave him a goodbye kiss.
She helped WALL-E and the captain bring life back to Earth.
While she was seemingly lethal due to attacking WALL-E and HAL in the beginning of the film, these acts were 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 was rather necessary as if she risked 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 it 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.
