“*Something...inside me has always been there. But now, it's awake. And I need help.*”
―Rey

**Rey Skywalker** is the main protagonist of the *Star Wars* sequel trilogy, debuting in *The Force Awakens*.

In *The Rise of Skywalker*, it was revealed that Rey was the granddaughter of Darth Sidious and Luke and Leia, who were aware of her heritage, instead saw she was nothing like her grandfather.

## Background

### Personality

Rey despite being a loner, was a very kind and gracious person. 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.

### Powers and Abilities

Rey is very powerful and a strong connection to the light side of the Force, having a strong connection to the Force due to her heritage as the granddaughter of Darth Sidious. Her powers are only rivalled to that by Kylo Ren, despite him being the nephew of Luke Skywalker and grandson of Anakin Skywalker. She grows stronger with the Force every day, and according to Snoke, she will grow strong with it.

Rey also has Force bond with Kylo, and they can converse with each other on different sides of the Galaxy, up to the point where they could physically touch one another.

She once submitted to the Dark Side of the Force and accidentally generated Force lightning, something only Sith Lords were able to do.
