| - A Power Trio of girls/women: the innocent child, the steady, wise wife, and the sexual, often sexually predatory seductress. The "child" (who does not have to be a child literally) will be seen as innocent, perhaps to the point of naïveté. The wife, the wiser, calmer aspect, someone around whom one could build a home life. The third, the seductress is sexually experienced and independent. So in short, a combination of:
* Childlike and Innocent
* Sensible and Capable
* Hotter and Sexier Not to be confused with the Faces of Evil. Examples of The Three Faces of Eve include:

| - A Power Trio of girls/women: the innocent child, the steady, wise wife, and the sexual, often sexually predatory seductress. The "child" (who does not have to be a child literally) will be seen as innocent, perhaps to the point of naïveté. The wife, the wiser, calmer aspect, someone around whom one could build a home life. The third, the seductress is sexually experienced and independent. So in short, a combination of:
* Childlike and Innocent
* Sensible and Capable
* Hotter and Sexier Their personalities will usually line up with a Freudian Trio: The Seductress represents the Id, The Wife represents the Superego, and The Child represents the Ego. Similar to but also different from The Hecate Sisters, where both the child and the seductress are replaced with the sexually available but inexperienced maiden, both the sensible wife and the seductress with the fertile mother, and the addition of the bitter crone. All three character types are considered to be very feminine -- with Child representing Light Feminine, Seductress representing Dark Feminine and Wife being in the middle, just like the movie that the trope gets it's title from. Instead of Beauty, Brains, and Brawn it's (pretty) Beauty, (pleasant) Beauty, and (sexy) Beauty. Not to be confused with the Faces of Evil. When adding examples, please note that the sexual aspect of the "seductress" must be present, and cannot be replaced with some other characteristic, like "anger" or "strength" or "selfishness". Also note that the second character is wife, not a maternal character, a woman who gives birth or one with any other motherly trait, but one who would make a good life partner. The innocent aspect of the child must be present, not Kids Are Cruel. Remember not to put a square peg in a round trope. Compare The Three Faces of Adam, the not-quite Spear Counterpart.
