She cannot cook for herself and relies solely on instant food. She also drinks copious quantities of beer, and drinks one first thing in the morning to get her day started. She also smokes, though only occasionally and only during chaotic events. Her experiences and trauma during the Katsuragi expedition had a profound effect on her mental state, the biggest one being the loss of her father. Her father's priority with work over her and her mother left her with the belief that her father did not care or love her. As a result she avoided making true emotional connections by only having surface level relationships and developed a not so subtle electra complex. Misato has no apparent issues with displaying and emphasizing her femininity, and enjoys the attention this gains her. A woman, twenty-nine, who lives life so lightly as to barely allow the possibility of human touch. She protects herself by keeping relationships on the surface, and by running away. Misato suffers from nightmares about her past. Misato uses her sexuality as substitute for true intimate connections with people. She longs to connect with people but cannot bear to take on any real attachment towards someone that could lead to pain, while simultaneously wanting to avoid addressing or dealing with her emotional problems. She uses sex as a way for her to have an intimate connection with people, particularly men, but keep things distant and "light" enough so as to avoid the risk of being hurt. She simply doesn't know of a way to connect with a male outside of sex. The only way she knows how to connect or comfort is through sex. She acts like a slob at home. Misato herself has difficulty reaching out to people without the use of sexuality. She is notably incredibly competent in her professional life but an absolute mess in her personal life.
