## Before the Series

At around five years old, Rey's parents were drunks, trading away their daughter for alcohol. Her parents were no one, and they died from too much drinking. Despite this, Rey waited for her family to come back by becoming a scavenger. At first, she was an ametuer scavenger. She worked for some scavengers. Only three of them were kind to her whiel the scavengeres treated her like one of their possessions. She eventually became good at it and stopped working for others, working for herself.

## *The Force Awakens*

Rey is eating food alone one day until she hears beeping from a far. She runs over and sees a creature struggling with a BB unit known as BB-8. She frees him and then BB-8 stays with her until the morning. She is later seen giving what she gave and almost sells BB-8, but says the droid is not for sale.

Men attempt to capture Rey and her droid, but she manages to knock them all out without someone's help. She eventually meets Finn, a former Stormtrooper of the First Order. At first she mistakes him as an enemy until Finn tells Rey that he is in fact wiht the resistance (which is a total lie. Later the first order finds Finn, BB-8 and Rey on Jakku and they take the ship the *Millennium Falcon*. The first order TIE fighters chase the Falcon. Rey's companion Finn is able to destroy both the fighters.

After they escape the planet Jakku, Rey and Finn start over and introduce themselves with their names. They fix everything in the Millinnium Falcon and asks where the Rebel base is at. Unknown to her, Finn is an ex-Stormtrooper and is not truthfully a rebel. She learnt from them both that it was on the planet D'Qar. The Falcon then loses its power and they are later captured along with their ship apparently thinking it is the First Order. They hide in one of the smuggling compartments. After a while, it turns out to be a smuggler and his Wookie companion. He hears a noise and opened up the door, seeing Rey and her two companions in them. Han demands to know where the pilot is and Rey tells him taht she is the pilot and no one else is on board. He tells them to get out and asks how they came in possession of the ship, which Rey says sh e took it from Unkar Plutt, who stole it from the Irving Boys, who stole it from Gannis Ducain. When he says that Han Solo stole the ship back, Rey is amazed that she finally met one of the smuggler heroes, Han Solo and Chewbacca. She knows him better as the smuggler than the fact that he fought with the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. She later is amazed with han that she knows the compressor on the ignition line puts too much stress on the hyperdrive.

After a massive fight between the five companions, and the two gangs from Rey releasing the Rathtars, Han took back the Millennium Flacon with his new companions on board.Because of their escape, Han is impressed with the two friends who took his ship from Plutt. BB-8 shows them a fragment of the map that could lead to Luke Skywalker, after he disappeared, blaming himself for Ben falling to the Dark Sid e and destroying everything SKywalker tried to build. Rey wondered if the Jedi and the FOrce were real. Like Rey, Han did not believe in the Force or the Jedi until he grew older, and confirms they're all true. Han promises to do everything he can to get BB-8 to his Resistance base.

Han later got them to Maz Kanata, seeking for her help. Maz refuses to help because she thinks that Han should go back to see Leia, because he should not run any more, but Han says his wife doesn't want to see him. Finn then says they can not fight the first order and Maz sees that Finn wishes to run and tells him of people who could get him to the outer rim. Rey is appalled that Finn would leave them because they needed him. Rey goes to him and demands to know what he is doing. After trying to convince him to stay, Finn tells her to come with him. He told her the truth of who he really was and she still refuses to leave BB-8 and that they need to get him home. Finn tells o take care of herself.

Suddenly, Rey heard the sound of a girl crying and found herself in the basement. She opened up an old chest that called to her and saw an old lightsaber that once belonged to Anakin Skywalker. Rey found herself thirty one years into the past, and on cloud city, hearing Luke's screams when Vader revealed he was Luke's father. Then she heard Yoda's voiceover and found herself during the Second Jedi Purge, witnessing Kylo Ren and his knights destroying everything, including Luke Skywalker and R2-D2. She also witnessed herself as a young girl, screaming for her family to come back. She was in a snowy forest next and Kylo Ren approached her with his lightsaber and Rey found herself back in the castle.

She asks Maz what she just saw, and that she saw a vision. And she told her that the lightsaber was once belonging to Luke Skywalker and his father, Anakin. Maz tells her that it now calls to her but for unknown reasons. Rey needed to return to Jakku because she want ed her family back. Maz tells her that whoever looks for her is never coming back, but Luke could. Maz tries to tell her to embrace her powers, but Rey refuses to touch the lightsaber and claims she never will again.

Rey runs into the woods far away from the castle and finds BB-8 following her. She tells the droid he must go back because the people there will help him, but BB-8 refuses tol leave her. When Rey is about to leave, she looks up at the sky, seeing that the First Order had arrived looking for the droid. She and BB-8 split up while Rey destroyed the order following her.

Some point in the woods, Rey heard the sound of a lightsaber coming near her. It later revealed to be the hooded figure from her visions: Kylo Ren. She starts firing at him when he deflects every thing she's got in her pistol. Ren froze Rey in place with the Force. It was unable for her to move and Rey was found at sword point wondering where the droid was at. Ren saw that Rey had seen the map. He rendered the young woman unconscious and carried her back to his ship, which departed from Takodana and to the Starkiller base

Rey woke up to find herself shackled down on a torture table in a holding cell with Kylo Ren inside, waiting for her to wake up. She demanded to know where she was, but Ren instead refused to answer her questions. She asked about Han and Finn, and Ren replied that he does not know where they were. After Rey refused to tell him about BB-8, Ren probed into her mind, to access her memories. He tried to get the  map from Rey's head.He said that whatever he wanted he just take them, and then later probes into her mind further. Rey grew angry. Ren tried getting into Rey's mind even more, but then Rey found herself in his mind. Seh read his thoughts and realized that Ren feared he would never be as strong as Darth Vader. Kylo eventually leaves the holding cell.

Realizing she has the Force, Rey puts a test to her new powers. She uses the mind trick on a Stormtrooper and tells him to drop his weapon. Rey takes the gun and escapes herself, and Ren comes to bring her to the Supreme Leader Snoke, but found that she escaped. Rey at first goes to attack who is coming for her, but she saw that it was Finn, Han and Chewie. She and Finn hug as they continue to look over the Resistance's demands. Rey later learns taht Han and Ben are father and son. As soon as Ren kills his own father, Rey and her friends go on a furious rage and they escape from the doorway.

After Han's death, Rey and Finn escape through the door they come from. They run out of the woods and encounter Kylo Ren, wishing ot finish them off. Rey calls him a monster before shooting at him, but Ren knocks Rey out. She opens her eyes and sees Finn and Ren fighting. The lightsaber of Luke Skywalker is fallen in the snow. Rey uses the Force and manages to grasp it in her hand and fights Ren off. At the edge of the cliff, Ren tempts Rey to the Dark Side by saying h ewill teach her the ways of the Force, but Rey does not give in. She meditates and fights off Ren. A voice in her head tempts her to the dark side ,a voice she does not notice but Rey leaves Ren behind and goes back to the injured Finn. Chewie comes back and rescues Rey and Finn as they leave the Starkiller base and back to where the Resistance was hiding
Rey and her friends return to D'Qar. She grew worried for Finn as he went to go to get healed. Rey later encounters General Leia Organa. Both women stay still befor e hugging each other for the loss of Solo. Artoo finally awoke from his sleep. He showed the remaining pieces of the map, and BB-8 had the missing part. He brings the map together,, revealing Luke to be on the planet of Ahch-To. Rey said goodbye to an unconscious Finn and kissed him on the forehead, thanking him for being a good friend. Rey later says goodbye to Leia, who fussed over her a little bit and thanked Rey for what she was doing. Leia promised Rey she would not end up like Ben Solo. Rey leaves the base unit with Chewie and Artoo Detoo at her side.

Rey and her companions make it to Ahch-To where Luke is at. She climbs up the runes of the first Jedi Temple and looked back once in a while to Artoo and Chewie, who waved once in a while when she saw them until they were out of sight. Rey made it to the top of the island where she saw a hooded figure stand on the edge before her. The hooded figure turned and revealed to be Luke Skywalker. Luke looked at Rey with recognition. He said nothing as she revealed his father's old lightsaber as a sign of hope.
