Rei Ayanami (ˆ»”g ƒŒƒC, Ayanami Rei?) is a fictional character from the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion and the films Evangelion: Death and Rebirth and The End of Evangelion.
Rei Ayanami is the First Child (First Children in the Japanese version) and pilot of Unit 00. She is socially withdrawn and rarely interacts with anyone, except for NERV Commander Gendo Ikari, to whom she initially displays some loyalty but with whom she has a generally distant relationship (she says in Episode 15 that she "doesn't know what kind of person he is"). She lives by herself in a drab, dingy, underfurnished apartment in Tokyo-3, a clutter of books being her only apparent luxury items (assuming they are not, in fact, schoolbooks). Toward the end of the series, Shinji Ikari comments that her apartment is very similar to the place where Ritsuko Akagi says she was born.

Rei Ayanami's beauty comes from the truth that she has feelings. When she cried, it meant the waters of the pool were coming out at last. The struggle to draw your feelings forth, the reconciliation between your surface and your death - that, I believe, is where we truly become alive, truly become human begins." Hayashibara, "What I learned from meeting a girl who didn't know.

Mountains. The heavy mountains. Something that changes over time. Sky. The blue sky. Something we can't see. Something we can see. The sun. Something there is only one of. Water. Something that feels nice. Commander Ikari? Flowers. Many of the same thing. Many things I don't want. Sky. The red, red sky. The colour red. I don't like red. Flowing water. Blood. The smell of blood. A woman who does not bleed. Human beings, made from red clay. Human beings, made from man and woman. The city. Something created by man. Evas. Something created by man. What is man? Something created by God? Man is something created by man? All I have is my life, my heart. Entry plug, the vessel of the heart. The seat of the soul. Who is this? This is me. Who am I? What am I? What am I? What am I? What am I? I am myself. This object is myself. The shape that forms my self. This is the me that can be seen. But I sense that I am not me. It's very strange. I feel my body melting away. I no longer recognise myself. My form is fading away. I sense someone who is not me. Is someone there, beyond here? Shinji? I know this person. Major Katsuragi. Dr Akagi. Everyone. My classmates. Unit 02's pilot. Commander Ikari? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
