A Phoenix is a symbol of reincarnation, or reanimation. Being born from the ashes of its death and all.

Perhaps Eve's ability to die and return to purgatory could only be counteracted by something that could do the same. Considering it could be killed by the Colt, that means it's not an angel or a reaper, or a leviathan, etc. Perhaps, it's a pagan god, considering the Phoenix existed in so many ancient cultures. Such as the Persian, Greek, Chinese, Egyptian and even Phoenician cultures. Perhaps there was one for every oneof these cultures. Samuel Cambell did say Eve hadn't walked the earth in 10,000 years. Perhaps she had killed the only phoenix in existence, and then it was reincarnated. Each time, being reincarnated into a different cultural identity. Apparently, there is no permanent way to kill anything like a monster or a demon other than Kurdish, g-dly, satanic, or Colt-ish means. Seeing as the Phoenix is not a demon, a Kurdish weapon wouldn't make a difference. So, the only things that could permanently kill it (for sure) are the First Blade, the Colt, or G-d.
