Asuka's mum was an EVA pilot.  After Yui's little 'accident',
they tried a new and improved scynch method between her and
EVA-02 that was supposed to prevent 400%.  It did, but
SOMETHING apparently got permanently transferred, anyway, and 
Asuka's mother started falling apart mentally, leading to
her playing with dolls, losing her grip on reality, and finally
sending herself and the doll to heaven.

In her case, though, it probably finished the transfer of her
soul to 02...

Asuka found her mother, they made up, then went out and kicked
MPE bootie.
