Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War (Fujimori manga)

Eva storms Mackily Castle.
When I thought it was over, that you'd die... I suddenly remembered back when we were younger. When you used to take care of me. Suddenly, I was worried about you. Until now, I just thought you were someone who settled fights quickly. How selfish of me. It took seeing you at the verge of death... To see how important you really are to me.
— Eva, to Eve

Eve, Eva, and Alva's roles are greatly expanded upon in Fujimori Nuttsu's Genealogy of the Holy War manga, which adapts the events of the first generation of the game in a more comedic manner. Eva is introduced as the middle brother of the Famous Triplet Paladins of Nordion, who all look near-identical and are easily mistaken for another even after changing their hairstyles to be distinct. Eva is depicted as being calm and collected, being able to analyze battle scenarios to turn the tides to his advantage. However, this also makes him appear cold towards others.

Unlike in Chapter 2 of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, Eve, Eva, and Alva were initially tasked with accompanying Lachesis's attack on Sigurd's army, which she mistook for Elliot's. After this misunderstanding was resolved, Eva assisted Sigurd's army in fighting Elliot's and Macbeth's armies.

During the assault on Mackily Castle, Clement managed to put Lachesis to sleep with his Sleep staff. Eve, in a blind rage, ordered Eva and Alva to storm the castle with him, single-handedly destroying any opposition. Inside the castle, the trio confronted and managed to kill Clement, though not before Eve had suffered heavy wounds.

After the battle, Eva went up to Eve and apologized towards him for not realizing everything that he had done for Eva as a brother until he was on the verge of death, with him then reaffirming their friendship as siblings with Eve. During this time, he also forced Alva to confess to eating Eve's hidden cookie stash.

Following the capture of Agusti Castle and Eldigan's rescue, it was revealed that Eldigan had intended to give Eva a Knight Ring to give to Lachesis back when Eldigan went off to plead with Chagall, with him stating that he was the one most trustworthy for the task. However, he accidentally gave the ring to Alva after mistaking him for Eva.
