This is fun to think about because along the threads of Eva's past are a lot of pivot-points where her journey could have taken substantially different turns.
Had she not lost her fiancé in an accident she might have eloped when he returned and be living out her life peacefully with her soul mate, however she would likely never have known motherhood, never learned any sort of combat experience or developed her aetherial abilities.
Had she grown complacent in her first company she would likely have gone on to more Ul'dahn aspirations and never joined the Guard where she learned to fight. She would likely have lived out her days as a seamstress, designer, or clothing merchant.
Had she not met Oskar, she might never have found her capacity for serving as an advisor, never have cultivated the seeds of leadership ability, and Everwatch as something of a [1.0] mercenary company probably would not have succeeded very well without her soft touch to compliment his rather harsh methods of running things. She also I don't think would have found true love again, and it's hard to say whether or not she would have gotten pregnant and given birth to her twin babies.
Had she not heeded an omen from a strange dream at the time of the Calamity, she would have remained in what she considered an underground safehold rather than returning to the surface, and likely been crushed to death or drowned like everyone else that was there.
And there's easily a half dozen more of these sort of pivotal moments that have defined the character throughout the years. I think it's fair to say she could have lived a happier and less tragic life, however it probably wouldn't have been as interesting and certainly wouldn't have allowed her to become the woman that she is today.
