01) Eve, as in the woman who committed the original sin in the garden of eden
02) As part of the doctrine of original sin, is the idea that sins of the forefathers leading to punishment of their descendants
There are of course many others,but these two are common expressed in most Jude-Christian sects. Original sin being a device-catch-all metaphor for the idea that humans are imperfect creatures, and all sin and fall short of the glory of God.
Of course many Christians would quickly tie in the idea that Jesus needed to die for our sins, or as repentance for original sin.
When taken together you can come up with several powerful plotlines/resolutions. So just looking at this from a storyline standpoint we could look at Hexenbiest in and of themselves as a form of original sin and that the sin flows within the bloodline from generation to generation and can only be remedied by a sacrifice involving death. Of course it is easy to go the Christian route and invoke the idea of resurrection.
So this of course ties into your comments about denial and repentance. One idea form Christianity that it is actually impossible for the individual to repent and needs an outside factor to pay for the sin. So for example, perhaps a sacrifice by Eve saves Diana, or whatever. The analogies are many.

As you went back to Eve and the original sin, as far as I have learned the idea of sacrificed came from GOD’s order to ADAM.
“But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” (Genesis 2:17 - KJV)
The idea is: sin brings death. The sacrifice is because someone (Jesus) or an animal (in the old alliance) dies in the place of the sinner. That is the origin of the idea of sacrifice, as far as I have learned. (This is not a theology debate, I know. and that is not the idea.)
I think it would be interesting to mix all of this in a single plot line… No one never explained how Juliette became a hexanbiest, but when Adelaind recovery her powers she had to take a spirit from another hexanbiest. Juliette’s hexan-spirit came from same one… the first/original hexanbiest… maybe? I mena the “Eve” of hexanbiests?
I think it would be interesting if the stick (Nick used it on Eve in the final season) unleashed the spirits memories. I mean, imagine if Eve had now access to the hexanbiest memories and knowlodge. The writers could use it to go through the way you draw.
I think I am going too far in this now…
But there you have some CRAZY ideas to work with...
