I don't want to speak to other peoples' characters, but Eva probably gets lumped into that. Most notably, she is extremely busty, and goes to lengths to try and conceal this - moreso when in any sort of mission or combat setting. She does not view it as the asset that most women might.
She doesn't have the degree of combat experience most others do, and she suffers a sort of OCD and is super-aware of her appearance and how she presents herself - and there are a number of in-character reasons for this (which I wouldn't mind talking about but starts to veer away from the point).
This tends to fade to the background when there is duty, and when things happen that leave her on the battlefield for awhile. One might say the barbie doll has been dragged through the mud a lot. And while she may take a lot of time cleaning herself and restoring her image, only to get muddy or bloody again at the next. This happened a lot within the more militaristic/mercenary type groups she belonged to. She's also a nurse, and not exactly the "hellllloooo nurse" trope (although that's been joked about at times) - but there's been RP or references made to incidents where she's held a man's entrails in her hands while a surgeon tried to work on him. And other gritty stuff like that.
Dirt, blood, grime, mud, soot, sweat... happens. To RP like you've stepped off the battlefield untouched by any of this is a little unrealistic to me, and I agree with everything you're saying about keeping it real.
