Rei Ayanami (綾波レイ) is the First Children, designated pilot of Evangelion Unit-00. Rei has the soul of Lilith as well as the DNA of Yui Ikari.
Past
Officially Rei's past has been erased, and next to nothing is revealed in the show. Gendo was accompanying the child Rei on a tour of Nerv facilities, and may have been her guardian when she was young, but this is purely speculative.
Tokyo 3
Rei pilots Unit-00, but as the story opens, she is unable to do so due to injuries received in a training incident. This prompts Gendo Ikari to summon his long-abandoned son, Shinji Ikari to Tokyo 3 to pilot Evangelion Unit-01. Rei is quiet and seems nearly unemotional; in fact she seems happy only when she is with Gendo, who saved her life during the training incident. She keeps and treasures a pair of his glasses that were damaged during the rescue. Rei is also a central part of the Dummy Plug System.
Psychological Problems
Rei seems to have some suicidally tendencies (although Shinji and Asuka do as well) as she has little regard for her own life during battle. This seems to be because as she says in her own words, "Even if I die, I can be replaced".

Notes
- "Rei" in Japanese is (sometimes) a synonym for "zero", fitting as Rei is the pilot of Eva Unit 00. However, in the original Japanese dub of the series, characters refer to Unit 00 using the half-English "Zerogouki" ("-gouki" = "Unit"). "Reigouki" wouldn't be an entirely inaccurate alternate rendering of its name, though.
- "Rei" spelt with different Kanji is the word for "spirit". Rei's name becomes a double pun- she is the pilot of Unit 00, and the vessel for the soul of Lilith.
This article bears the unpleasant designation of "Stub." This is a Bad Thing. Provide a great service to NGE fan-geeks everywhere by making it awesomer!
