Creation
Unit-01 is the second Evangelion completed, and although originally intended as a test-type model, like the prototype Unit-00 she was forced into combat against the Angels. Unit-01 was, in fact, the first to face combat.
Purpose
Ostensibly, like all the Evangelions, Unit-01's stated purpose is to defend Tokyo-3 and the whole world from the Angel threat.
Abilities
In addition to incredible size and strength, Unit-01, like all Evangelions, possesses the ability to generate an A.T. Field. Unit-01 does not possess an S^2 organ, and relies on electrical power supplied via its Umbilical Cable, and Internal Batteries
Soul
Unit-01's soul is that of Yui Ikari. For this reason her son, Shinji Ikari was chosen as its pilot. Yui escaped into the Eva when she realized that Seele was catching on to her acting against their interests. Yui must also have realized early on that Unit-01 would end up fighting, or else her sacrifice would have been pointless.
