Rei Ayanami (綾波 Ayanami Rei)
This is the first chosen to pilot Evangelion Unit 00.
Rei's origins are derived through various clues provided by the strands of the series, and their relationships with other characters, which are then rinsed with the delivery of The End of Evangelion, at The Red Cross Book, a book as available to purchasers of this latest installment of the series (after the departure of Rebirth of Evangelion).
The first thing you can learn is that Rei is the firstborn Angel Lilith, from whom all others. In its spiritual aspect, Rei is the spirit of the first Angel and the first living being existing in the universe, but with no memory, housed in a human body as a container.And in its biological aspect, Rei is an artificial reproduction of Yui Ikari, which makes it something like a sister and a daughter Shinji Ikari Gendo or replacement of his wife as a way of life very similar to Kaworu .
Rei's body was actually created from the remains of Yui's body remained inside the Entry Plug of EVA-01 in the contact experiment. A large number of copies of this body were prepared in the Terminal Dogma for the operation of EVAs and operating systems simulators. Rei is the only clone of this body that might contain a soul.
In the course of history when one Rei dies can be replaced by another without any knowledge of his old life but with a sense of what happened. The Rei which appears in The End of Evangelion is the third. The first was killed by Dr. Naoko Akagi in a fit of nerves and jealousy, the second was eliminated in his match against Angel Armisael to save Shinji in battle sacrificing the unit 00. Although each of the personalities of these three Rei are different because of the circumstances surrounding it, his soul is unique.
It follows that Gendo Ikari Rei raised since birth in a hidden room beneath central dogma like his room, as in the series it is seen very small next to him, apparently in foster care, which leads to other characters to receive their apparent similarity. In fact, the memories that Shinji is the mother's inside the EVA-01 alone, listening to a conversation without any character, rather than the image of a car at dusk, which hears Gendo says that if your child is a child, called Shinji, and if it is a girl, named Rei.
However, the reason for the existence of Rei is revealed in the film The End of Evangelion: Rei, being an angel, there to finally merge with Lilith's body and cause the Third Impact Gendo controlled manner. Rei This would give complete control over life and allow Gendo see Yui again, occupying the field of Shinji. But everything goes wrong for listening to the voice of Gendo and Shinji lets go with Shinji in his "help"
At the beginning of the series, Rei is portrayed as an enigmatic young introverted, quiet, no communication, while trusting that in adults, only expresses emotions and sincere loyalty to Gendo Ikari, even in a distant relationship.
Shinji takes no interest in it despite knowing how difficult it is doing its best to meet her, and she seems to have an ambiguous relationship with him because he effectively replaced to pilot the EVA-01 because of physical disability in beginning of the series.
Rei lives on a desolate street in Tokyo-3 in a lonely apartment with hardly furnish Shinji visit to give you an ID which will serve to be interacting with it very slowly, which shows that Rei has a monotonous and isolated life that has made what it is. The apartment happens to be a representation of the underground cell in which Rei was born and raised by Gendo, according to Ritsuko.
Rei tends to attract the rejection and even contempt of Asuka Langley because of their personality is extremely submissive, passive and obedient from the moment when the pilot of EVA-02 kindly offered their friendship and accept her answer that when he is ordered by adults. In fact, Rei is in many ways diametrically opposed to Asuka. Asuka is outgoing and passionate, while Rei is introverted and cold, Asuka likes to eat meat, while Rei is vegetarian, Asuka is proud of its achievements and individual existence, while Rei is limited completely to comply and, depending on own statement, would not hesitate to kill if it dictate Gendo Ikari. The most prized material possessions are broken glasses Rei Gendo Ikari, who picked it up when it fell to the floor to release the capsule ejected from EVA-00.Lo in Rebu of evangelion which is almost the same but after to fight the Angel Ramiel and Shinji rescues his most prized possession became shinji player which can be seen in a scene from Rebu of evangelion 2.0.
