Eve Baxter (Born 1998) is the youngest daughter of Vanessa and Mike Baxter.
Her youth can be tough to handle because her mother and father expect way more from her. Eve loves her dad very much and is usually on his side rather than Kristin's or Mandy's. She also has generally the same interests as Mike, but her newfound interest in boys begins to strain their relationship.
Eve joined a junior ROTC in S2 E11 Mike's Pole. She wanted to be the first female sniper in the marine corps. She wanted to get into West Point but got rejected. At the end of season 6, she was accepted in the Air Force Academy but didn't tell her parents until after she was accepted. She is a recurring character in seasons 7, 8, and 9.
Eve is portrayed by Kaitlyn Dever and first appeared in Last Man Standing's pilot episode.

Personality[]
Eve is a tomboy and very similar to Mike. She loves sports, getting dirty, and learning everything Mike knows about survival and hunting. Unlike the other girls, she doesn't use makeup very often. Sarcastic and quick-witted, she always manages to find ways out of situations and is very good at victory dances and beating the boys in sports several times. A fighter, she once buried Mandy's makeup after being called the "perfect plain bagel" and lived outside for days, thinking her mom wanted to destroy the planet.
