### **Portrayed by**

Daisy Ridley
Cailey Fleming (young)

**Rey** is a major character of the Star Wars franchise. She is one of the three main protagonists of the *Skywalker Saga* (alongside Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker. She was the main protagonist of the Sequel Trilogy and a major character in Star Wars: Forces of Destiny. She was born **Rey Palpatine**, the granddaughter of Darth Sidious, and left on Jakku for her own safety. Rey joined the Resistance after leading BB-8 home and became  one of the last remaining Jedi who is strong with the Force and was trained by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. Rey was Force-bonded with Kylo Ren, and formed the prophecized Dyad in the First.

However, she did not let herself be defined by her grandfather's legacy, discarding her heritage as a Palpatine, finally becoming **Rey Skywalker**, continuing the Skywalker Legacy from Ben Solo's sacrifice.

## Personality

Despite being a loner, Rey was a kind, compassionate, and gracious young woman. She is also thoughtful when she saved BB8 from a man trying to sell his parts. Rey is also no damsel in distress. For one, she is a strong leader. Rey manages to defeat two men trying to steal BB-8Rey can also be stubborn, but she still has a good heart. She also feels for people and helps those in need of assistance.She even cares to help BB8 no matter what. She later feels alone because both her parents are gone, and soon realizes that they're never coming back for her. Rey is also oblivious to the beauty of the world around her. She is also very strong with the force, but is also good at maintaining her powers and possibly feels special about herself.

She trained to become a Jedi by Luke Skywalker, who at first, thought it was time for the Jedi to end. However, Rey proved to be the Last Jedi when her master was killed on Crait.

* Rey is the second character to wield a yellow lightsaber, preceded by the Jedi Sentinels.
* Contrasting to her predecessors, Luke and Anakin, Rey is the first to be the female protagonist and to not be a Skywalker from birth (due to her adopting the last name in the final film), and to not lose her left hand.

* Rey is similar to \
	+ Luke Skywalker from the original trilogy: orphans, gain a father figure (Han Solo and Luke Skywalker for Rey and Obi-Wan for Luke); fight with mad jedi skills even though it required little training for both of them; excellent pilots; themes are almost similar within each other.; they both wear some form of white; they have Nabooian background (Luke's mother and Rey's grandfather were from Naboo) and their parents remained a mystery until adulthood: Rey's parents were revealed to be the son and daughter-in-law of Emperor Palpatine and Luke's father was Darth Vader, who fell to the dark side, and they grew up on a dessert planet (Jakku for Rey and Tatooine for Luke)
	+ Ezra Bridger: They are orphans who were both forced to steal in order to survive, unaware they were Force-sensitive; had a pirate take an interest in them (Maz Kanata and Hondo Ohnaka); a dark sider saw their stength within the force and wished to turn them to the dark side of the Force (Kylo Ren and Darth Maul); ultimately, they remain on the side of good and find a family in their own way (the Resistance for Rey and the Ghost crew for Ezra)
