Revy (Black Lagoon)

Rebecca Lee, also known as Revy and Two Hands, is the main female protagonist from the Black Lagoon series.
== Charactah Account ==
Revy is a nihilistic Chinese-American gunwoman and the Lagoon Company's primary muscle. Known as "Two Hands" after her preferred style of shooting. Her first name is apparently "Rebecca", but nothing more is known of her past apart from the implication that it wasn't a happy one.
Revy is competitive, sarcastically rude, ill-tempered, and extremely ruthless. Unlike Rock, she is undiplomatic, believing in the use of brute force and coercion to get her way. Of all the characters in the series, Revy uses the foulest language and is also a heavy smoker and drinker. Revy is a merciless and sadistic killer, who's capable of killing anyone even unarmed civilians. Despite her merciless nature, she's also capable of showing humor and can be quite a talker when she isn't angry. Another aspect of her personality is her possible racial insensitivity. In the manga, she refers to Shenhua as a "chink" and in the anime "Chinglish". She also calls Rock a "Jap" and a FARC Mercenary a "beaner" in the anime.
Revy is a merciless and sadistic killer, without a conscience, who will be more than ready to kill anyone at the slightest provocation, even unarmed civilians (as seen in episode 6), and she kills in cold-blood as seen in OVA#3, when she murders a wounded FARC soldier after promising him to take him to a hospital in exchange for finding Roberta's location. She takes maniacal glee in killing anyone she fights or just for fun. She also has very little remorse for her enemies and many times have often stepped on male enemies' crotches for fun to show them how weak they are. However, she looks at it as doing them a favor as she believes any man would love a sexy woman such as her to "abuse" them. Whilst appearing to be driven by general bloodlust, it is shown throughout the series that Revy subconsciously uses violence as a dysfunctional coping mechanism and outlet for her deeply repressed emotional and psychological issues. An example of this is when becoming uneasy at accepting both Rock and Benny into the Lagoon company, Revy vents her trust issues by becoming particularly unpredictable during missions and getting what Dutch nicknames "Whitman Fever", going on indiscriminate shooting rampages and executing hostiles and innocent bystanders alike.

== Trivia ==
* Revy has a total kill count of approximately 128 kills earned throughout the series.
* In a flashback, a young Revy is seen using a Smith & Wesson Model 439 to shoot cans.
* In a volume 4 omake, where everyone including has changed their sex, which Rock is the only one who notices the sudden mad change, Revy appears to be the only one who supposedly still looks exactly the same (only that her chest is completely flat). It is only then "she" reveals that she is a he, and even pulls down his pants to reveal his penis and testicles (much to sex-switched Rock's horror).
* Out of all the members of Black Lagoon Company, Revy has been shown smoking cigarettes the most.
* Revy appears to be adept at riding motorcycles, as she rescued Rock with precise, albeit risky, driving on a red sports bike after a meeting gone awry in Japan.
* In "Greenback Jane", it is stated that Revy watches Oprah, but this could be just sarcasm.
* In the manga, people sometimes call Revy "Levy" and it is uncertain if it's a typo or intentional.
** In the German version of the manga, her name is written as "Levi" (due to the common R-L-problem and I or Y in translations), but ever since the release of volume 4, it's changed to "Revy".
* A great deal of Revy's life is shown in a single flashback in the final episode of Roberta's Blood Trail. Her father's abuse, the police's abuse, the rape, and the killing of the father were all there.
* The feathers that can be seen throughout the series mainly through the opening theme most likely represent the feathers of the pillow that Revy used to suppress the shot she used to kill her alcoholic father.
* In a popularity contest released for the May/June 2008 issue of Sunday GX, Revy ranked #1 with 823 votes.
* In a popularity contest released for volume 10, Revy ranked #2 with 2,411 votes.
* In a popularity contest released for volume 12, Revy again ranked #2 with 3,874 votes.
* There are various references to Revy's music tastes throughout the manga and the light novel (but not in the anime, probably due to copyright reasons). Revy is a big fan of rock and metal and has a personal shootout playlist named the "Jitterbug of Death" collection. Some of the songs named on the playlist are "Electric Head Part 1" by White Zombie, "Shooter" by Rednex and "Sleep Now in the Fire" by Rage Against the Machine. Revy is also shown to be a fan of the band Guitar Wolf.
* Revy's especially trigger-happy and frenzied state, or "Whitman Fever", as diagnosed by Dutch, is a reference to American Marine turned mass murderer Charles Whitman.
