Looking back at original idea is that the idea is basically that angels are in fact summons as giant armor. Each armor has its own strengths and weaknesses. Which means when the pilot fuses (becomes one with) a human sized unit it turns them into a Kaiju themselves. Since a trangendered (really sex changed, but that is a grammar issue, as gender is a mental construct) Shinji (or other pilot) is a Kaiju them with a certain type of armor on, your going to need two different character models.
The first is what the civilan model looks like. That is what they look like human sized. The Reiquarium is replaced with a holding apartment area (their self amusement activities are what Gendo and co are watching). Each civilian mode angel is in a Rei like entity with a few changes.
The eye colors in the case of those given. Sachiel wears little bird skulls in her hair. Leliel dresses as a goth. Some may have different color hair (by nature or dye). Few, if any major physical changes that tell them appart.
The second form is the armor they are at giant size. That is where the major changes occur. Sahaqiel is a one piece, bathing suit (the boots are extra cover) with arms that can fling globs of material. These explode... with multiple effect that include the marital and combat functions
The only issue then is what the Angel armor's are really mounted on in the first place? Is getting defeated Kaiju sized mean the previous pilot is the new mind of the armor? Does this mean that the other pilot is arrested and their armor taken as spoils of war? Are the XX images pilots wearing their armor companions or are they different.
Though with this method the armors would have to be damaged to get at the vulnerabilities. You could also cover the need for extra pilots as transformation and activities while transformed are draining and that they (the pilots and the armor) need time to recover. The question here is if Asuka and Hikari are also armors and the 3 stooges the real pilots or if they just include more pilots as they get more armors.
