Rei is someone who has all but mostly lost hope in humanity. She believes that there is no way to save the human race and all the evils that plague it unless someone can rise up and be the shining beacon. However, despite all her ambition, Rei admits that she could never reach that level and focuses almost entirely of trying to get her classmates to get there. Because of this, she often runs away with her own ideals, pushing them on everyone else around her at every turn.

As much as she tries to build her classmates up, she is incredibly hard on herself; often becoming very silent at the best of times and completely self-deprecating at the worse of times. She hates herself. How much damage she can do. How many puppets she can summon. She has a pin point focus on all of these features, making herself extremely self-conscious and sometimes downright reckless in sparring matches. 

Once and awhile, Rei will see an animal and her entire cold persona would melt. If there is one thing in the world that has kept her sane it is the presence of animals in her life. She believes they lack the evil that humans have and that they are actually are the most precious thing and deserves so much more love. Even when she was little, she had an extreme attachment to dogs. And even to this day, she will always stop in the street if she sees a dog. 

Most would rightfully think that the reckless attacker Rei wouldn't ever be scared of anything. And they would be right! As long as it's not the dark that is. Rei has an extreme fear of the dark; usually sleeping with the lights on and avoiding going out at night if she can help it. When she was little, she used to sleep with her stuffed animals. Nowadays she is too prideful to even bring them with her into her dorm room.

FACECLAIM NAME: Rumia
FACECLAIM SERIES: Touhou

Rei has blonde hair that is cut around her chin. She usually styles it with a bow on the side of her head, though more often than not, she'll forget and just go to class with her hair a mess. As per Shiketsu rules, she is rarely seen without the (-as Rei puts it) "Stupid hat" and so she doesn't think that messy hair is a really big issue. 

Inherited as a side effect of her quirk, Rei's eyes are a deep red that slightly glows whenever she activates her quirk. She has occasionally tried to use it as a light source for using her quirk...but it doesn't glow enough to really cast a good enough shadow.

As far as Rei can remember, her parents were always here and there. Leaving her alone at the house for sometimes days at a time, coming home with blood on their clothes and weapons left on the floor. Ever since she was a child, Rei knew she was almost being raised by the family dog, a giant beast who'd grumpily resigned to hang out without throughout the day. To keep them company, she'd even make shadow puppets to run about the house, finding solace in making it a little more lively.

On some days, it was just her and her dad, having weird conversations and impromptu staring contests. Sometimes her mom was there too. Occasionally, she'd join in the weird conversations. Other times she'd keep her distance. When Rei would recount her memories at school, her mind always would try to go there first. However, sometimes, they'd seem to be distracted, quiet. And Rei would become all too focused on the fact they would call her by the wrong name.

No, her comfort quickly became the people she say on TV; news broadcasts about the latest villain attack and the hero's desperate attempts to control it all. Rei wondered if she could help. She wondered if she helped her parents would be proud of her. So she told them. And at the rightful age of 10, they took her with them to what they were doing all this time. 

The vigilantes Red Rabbit and Doppelganger took their daughter with them into a villain headquarters and she watched as her mother slaughtered all of them without mercy. Perhaps it was her scared expression, or maybe the next day they knew better, but they didn't take her those after that. And just as quickly as she wanted to be a hero, Rei decided that it wasn't worth it. 

Tsutomu became her anchor on the world. The singular good thing she would take with her everywhere. They were inseparable, an endless source of comfort and the best friend Rei never knew she needed. When he was gone, Rei wasn't sure what to do anymore, and maybe that's why it was during that time that Chiyo Kimura had disappeared. She knew her father was doing his best. But that wasn't good enough. 

When all hope was lost, She remembered seeing the video of Afterglow and the final words she said. Rei took her father's last name and applied for Shiketsu, managing to get through the entrance exam after some training and getting placed in 1-B.

QUIRK: Shadow Theatre
QUIRK TYPE: Emitter
QUIRK RANK: Gold
QUIRK DESCRIPTION: Using her hands to create the shape, Rei can make the shadow puppets she create come to life. From rabbits to dogs to even ducks, the visual effects of the puppet itself is usually arbitrary when it comes to actual physical strength. However, their general movement abilities and size are dependent on which she uses.

Rabbits: The bare basics for Rei, she can create up to 10 of them in a singular post. They are generally no bigger than a ball that can fit in the palm of her hand and can run the fastest at 45 mph. When they hit, it's about the strength of a light tap of the shoulder.

Birds: A slightly more advanced technique, she can create 5 of them in a singular post. They are slightly larger at the size of a medium sized bird. With about 15 of them, she can use the birds to carry her and fly at 30 mph. When they hit, it's about the strength of someone bumping into you in a crowd.

Dog: Her singular saving grace in terms of offensive power, she can create 1 dog in a singular post. They are around the size of a great dane and can run around 30 mph. When they bite, it's with the bite force of paperclip getting stuck on your finger- sometimes occasionally bruising the skin if they get a running start. It has a striking resemblance to her late pet dog, Tsutomu.

QUIRK DRAWBACKS: Rei's quirk is completely useless in total darkness. She must have at least one light source to create a shadow puppet and without it, she is no better than a someone who is quirkless. Similarly, if it is so bright that no shadow can be cast, she cannot create any shadow puppets either.

The more shadow puppets she make, the more mentally taxing it is on her mind. With 10 shadow puppets, Rei will have trouble keeping track of her own movements as she controls the puppets. At 15 and up, she gets physically incapable of focusing on her own body and must focus slowly on making sure that the puppets can move individually. This makes her a sitting duck in battle and truly as to rely on the puppets to keep her safe.

Alone, the shadow puppets are relatively weak. One rabbit by itself has the strength of something lightly tapping you. What they make up for in lack of strength however, is the sheer volume of them all. You can definitely stop a shadow puppet, but you can't stop them all.
