CHARACTER INFO
Character Name: Rei Ayanami
Series: Evangelion [anime canon]
Canon Point: The beginning of End of Evangelion just before the Seele invasion of NERV HQ.
History Link: Link.

Personality:
In the beginning of the series we see Rei as a quiet and stoic girl who has issues processing her emotions and is often unsure how to react properly when interacting with other people. This is seen in in the fact that she is completely unfazed when Shinji sees her naked and that she speaks to others in a straightforward manner that omits all unnecessary niceties and idle conversation. Outside of her work with NERV she seems to keeps to herself, even in class, while the only person she has constant contact with is Gendou Ikari, the head of NERV and the man who created Rei in the first place. It is also worth nothing that Gendou is the only person Rei shows positive emotions towards near the beginning of the series, smiling when he talked to her and saving a pair of glasses he broke rescuing her from an incident in which Eva unit zero went berserk as a keepsake.

For quite sometime Rei also lacks a powerful sense of self, instead living almost entirely for the sake of her role as a tool of NERV and even going as far to say that she could be replaced at any time, a fact that becomes quite literal with the discovery of the dozens of Rei clones hidden under NERV HQ. Rei's lack of self-worth and self preservation, seen in partly in her willingness to sacrifice herself during the 16th angels attacks, is likely due to her being one in a series of identical clones with whom she shares a collective memory, as seen in the fact that Rei III, the clone sent to NERV following Rei II's prior mentioned sacrifice, retains all of her predecessors memories but cannot process them due to the fact that she had not experienced the events personally.

As the series wears on Rei slowly begins to gain a greater sense of self. Early signs of this include her blushing when Shinji showed her kindness and her defense of Eva unit 01 during the battle with the angel Ramial. In turn it is Shinji who has the biggest effect on Rei as the series wears on, often being he is the kindest person to her in all of NERV even going as far as to pry from the burning wreakage of Eva 0 in the aftermath of the Ramial fight, an action mirroring his fathers efforts following Eva 0 going berserk. Though she remains quiet and collected, by the end of the series Rei seems to have progressed greatly in terms of her emotional growth, being able to reflect on her the nature of her own being, as seen in the conversation between Rei and her “sisters” during the last two episodes of the series and Rei 3 monologue concerning her own existence following Rei 2's death.

The summation of all this growth can be seen in both the series TV finale and End of Evangleion. In the tv ending Rei's “sisters”, representing her former self as Rei 1 and 2, bring up the fact that there were many Reis making her current existence interchangeable with any of them, she comments that she is in fact a unique being due to her interactions with others that helped define her as a person different from any of the former Rei's or even the woman, Yui Ikari, whom she was originally cloned from. In end of EVA in the final moments before Gendou's plan to begin Human Instrumentality would begin, which involved fusing Rei -who was made in part from cells taken from the angel Lilith- with Adam -another angel and progenitor of life on Earth- she instead betrays Gendou and puts humanity's future in the hands of Shinji, likely because he is the one who was kindest to her.

Powers:
Despite her alien origin, Rei is a fairly normal girl. Her biggest talent lies in her ability to pilot Eva unit 0. She also possess the power to merge with Lilith and Adam, thus becoming a god-like being, but I seriously doubt that will happen in game unless made part of a rather specific plot.

Other Details:
This app covers both Rei 2 and Rei 3, since the two share identical memories, though, for the purpose of including End of Evangelion and the last few episodes of the TV series in her canon, the actual character in-game would be Rei 3.
