Eve
The first woman, created by God as Adam's helper and the mother of all the living.
Eve was formed by God from Adam's rib to be his companion and helper. She is central to the narrative of the Fall in Genesis 3, where she was deceived by the serpent and ate the forbidden fruit. Her role is significant in Scripture as the progenitor of humanity and a reference point for the order of creation and the nature of temptation.
