Biblical character, drawn endlessly (3)

I believe the answer is:

eve

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'biblical character drawn endlessly' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'character drawn endlessly' is the wordplay.
'character' becomes 'e'.
'drawn endlessly' becomes 've' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'e'+'ve'='EVE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eve that I've seen before include "Girl" , "Adam & - -" , "Period immediately before" , "See 27" , "when it gets dark" .)
