Story Parasite eve universe is one based on which the mitochondria(organelle structures inside almost all eukaryotic living cells for aerobic respiration) was engulfed by ancestral life forms on earth, as an intracellular parasite. While most of the aerobic bacteria lost their genomes to only 36 with the rest transferred to cellular nucleus to become mitochondria, some had evolved to retain their genomes for independence or even control over their symbiotic partners by manipulating the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.

Parasite eve has references to Richard Dawkins 'selfish gene' theory, in which the mutated and evolved species seek to spread, reproduce their genomes. A hive intelligence of these mitochondrial instantly start their campaign to regain total control over other organisms and establish a new mitochondrial species of life forms as the "perfect" dominant species to overthrow humanity and other species into extinction.

Aya Brea makes appearance in 2 games of this series as the main protagonist, with a small appearance in the third spin off title 'The 3rd Birthday."

In the first entry, she has an occupation for over 6 months as a rookie NYPD detective. However, the unexpected happened on Christmas Eve 1996, where a disastrous incident took place in the Carnegie Hall, leaving everyone burnt to their demise and the opera alight except Dt Brea along with an actress on stage, who seems to have been the cause of the incident with her power to cause spontaneous combustions. Aya questions the opera actress "Melissa" who now declares she is "Eve" and Melissa the actress is dead. She hints to Aya of a mysterious connection between themselves but departs before revealing anything else.

Subsequently, friendly and hospitable animals in New York from pet dogs to zoo animals mutate into deadly and cold blooded killers. With a weird and wild instinct to snap at everything near to complete Eve's plans. More incidents happen with higher casualties. Completely ruining families's Christmas. Forcing Manhattan to evacuate.

Unknown to Aya Brea, a similar speciation incident occured in Japan around the same time with the same plan of establishing a living thing that is "perfect" and omnipotent. An "ultimate" life form that will be the next evolutionary masterpiece. Aya and her partners find themselves in a desperate case to stop Eve's devastating and murderous rampage in 6 days...The terrifying bond between them will sustain until one of them dies.

In the second entry, Aya Brea left NYPD possibly due to her inner guilts. Instead she is employed in M.I.S.T division of FBI. Only to discover another man-made biological disaster on the rise. A religious governmental organisation, disillusioned by humanity and its modern ways, set out to create their own ideology on the world by forcing evolution through genetically engineered retrovirus. Aya is apparently at the center of this plot. Will she manage to prevent this incident as well as saving some parts of herself?

In the 3rd spin off entry. NY and the rest of the world is now suffering an apocalypse from a unknown life form evolving to the point of having time travel abilities as well as manipulating the space time continuum. The Twisted. Organised en masse, with an addicting taste for human flesh.

Someone resembling Aya Brea's role must manipulate time in response while discovering the truth about her long lost past, her family, as well as revealing a third species in the losing cold war. Aya Brea makes a cameo appearance at the end of the game despite her being the central plot of the game. Will this be her end?

Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy
Lightning's 3rd alternate outfit is based directly on Aya's outfit from The 3rd Birthday. This costume can be acquired through a code that comes with The 3rd Birthday.

Conversely, Aya can also wear Lightning's Final Fantasy XIII attire, sans cape, as an alternate outfit in The 3rd Birthday, by completing the game 30 times, or by performing tasks on the Square site. Just like any of her other outfits in The 3rd Birthday, the outfit can be torn up as Aya takes damage; Lightning's l'Cie marking can be revealed as more damage is done to her outfit. In addition to dressing up like Lightning, in the Japanese version, the outfit will also change her voice to sound like Lightning.
