Name: Ayanami Rei
Seiyuu: Hayashibara Megumi
Age: 14
Date of Birth: 14th of Some month, 2001
Eva: Unit 00 Prototype
She's very quiet and shows no emotions. She looks up to Shiji's father, Ikari Gendou, because he tried to save her after Unit 00 ejected her plug during a test run. She seems to like Shinji a little. She remains distant at first, but begins to warm up to the other pilots. She even risks her life to try to save Shinji, dying in the process. However, the Rei that is shown in the beginning of the series is the second in a series of clones. After her death, she's replaced as easily as changing a light bulb. Her lifeless clones are what make up the dummy plug system. In an alternate reality dream of Shinji's in the end of the series, we see Rei in a whole new light. For once she shows life and animation, acting as violently alive as Asuka normally does.
