Rei
Rei is a character in the Guilty Gear series. She is the wolf spirit and fighting partner of Giovanna, an officer in the special operations unit that protects the President of the United States.
Design
Rei is a female green wolf spirit with black snout and legs (with the legs being hidden during most of gameplay), whited-out eyes, and an orange recycling symbol around a heart on its forehead. During gameplay, Rei wraps its spirit trials around Giovanna's leg.
Personality
Rei, is Giovannas spirit wolf companion, who is like family to her and fights at her side.
Story
Rei aides Giovanna in her battle against Nagoriyuki.
Abilities
During battle, Rei is able to possess Giovanna and grants her inhuman speed.
In terms of gameplay, Rei fights in tandem with Giovanna to deliver quick, powerful attacks. This is seen through certain attacks such as Giovanna's standing and crouching Slash, her special moves Sepultura, Trovão, and her Tempestade overdrive.
Trivia
- The recycling symbol on Rei is a visual pun: Not only is it the same logo for recycling plastic bottles used in Japan (PET), but is on her forehead where Giovanna would pet her.
- Rei means "king" in Portuguese. It also means "spirit" (霊) in Japanese, tying into Rei's specter-like design for most of Giovanna's gameplay.
