Rei is
extremely timid, shy and at times almost seems withdrawn
from the world around her. She finds it incredibly hard to
express her feelings towards others and as a consequence
isn't the kind of person who makes friends that easily. All
of Rei's personnel records have been erased, she has no
parents and there is no trail leading to her past, it would
seem that her existence begins at a dead end.
She was the first child to be chosen to pilot an Eva,
in particular EVA-00, in accordance with the Marduk
institute. Though unfortunately she was seriously injured
during her first attempt to synchronize with her Eva when it
mysteriously went out of control. Fortunately Commander
Ikari rescued her and she survived the accident, her next
attempt at synchronization was successful and she has now
become the active pilot of EVA-00. Whether or not this is by
choice is unknown, Rei simply seems to do as she is told
without complaining, something which Shinji is known for
doing.
The truth is though, Rei is in fact not human, that is
not entirely. She is a by-product of the human
instrumentality project, artificially created and implanted
with the soul of Yui Ikari. Rei has only one soul, however,
NERV have created multiple bodies, or vessels, for Rei's
soul in the event of her death. Indeed Rei is killed twice,
by both Naoko Akagi and the sixteenth Angel. |
