Ava Tarkov

Ava is the closest thing Jodie has to a friend besides Eli

An Iudex in the Praelium Reef, Avelina acts as a personal bodyguard service to Jodie and Eli on their travels. She is a radical believer in the Angels and believes them to be the true meaning to life. Her radicalism is only subdued by her husband, Taika. However, she is a kind spirit with a wild fire in her chest.

IN the second arc, Ava joins the crew permanently, using her PMC to take the fight to the Wyrms. She and Taika give regular reports to Jodie and Eli. Ava also becomes a part of comedic relief in the story, as she also tries to get Jodie along with Eli, believing that they make a good couple. She is transitioned into an Angel at the end of the arc.

Ava becomes the first enemy Angel Eli and Rei fight in the third arc. When they manage to calm her down, she confirms the death of Jodie and Taika. Before they can recover her, she flees, then later joins up with Jodie.
