Rei Ayanami (綾波レイ) is the First Children, designated pilot of Evangelion Unit-00.
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.

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!
