Eve Moneypenny (Miss Moneypenny), is a fictional character in the James Bond novels and films. She is secretary to M, who is Bond's boss and head of the British Secret Service.
After an absence from the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale and its sequel Quantum of Solace, 2012's Skyfall reintroduces the character for Daniel Craig's tenure as Bond; Skyfall is the first film in which the character is given a name, Eve. She is played by Naomie Harris, the only non-White actress to portray Moneypenny. Even though she is not considered a Bond Girl, she is the first Moneypenny to have romantic moments with 007.

Film biography
Skyfall
Eve was an MI6 field agent, who during a mission with Bond in Turkey, ends up shooting 007 while he struggled with Patrice atop a train.
Afterwards she is suspended from field work, although she does aid in fighting off Raoul Silva in order to ensure that Bond can help M escape safely (as Silva had showed up with the intention of killing M).
At the end of the movie, Eve states she is not fit for field work, and will remain only in a desk job at MI6. As Bond says that they have not been properly introduced, she says her full name is Eve Moneypenny.
