**"Rei"**, also known as "Subject 3" or "Obsidian" (real name withheld due to spoilers) is a character from the Animatron Studios series *Vanishing Point*. The third test subject, she escaped before Shinsuke Corporation could condition her and has been on the run ever since. She has the power to shape-shift, but is restricted to human forms.

## Biography

### Early life

Nothing is known of Rei's life before she was captured and experimented on by Shinsuke Corp, several months prior to the series' start. She used her shape-shifting powers to trick her way out of the facility, and has been on the run ever since.

### Within the series

Rei first appears in "The Enemy of My Enemy", as the main cast come across her file and realize they were not the first to escape. Rei, in turn, hears about the other escapees from a television report, and as they try to track her down, she confronts them in an alleyway. Though she does not fully trust them, she reveals to them that Mizuki Sato was one of the test subjects.

## Appearance

In her true form, Rei stands 6'3" tall (190cm), or 6'0" without her heels (183cm). She has a somewhat slender build, but an average bust. She has long black hair and piercing crimson eyes, though it is hinted that her eyes are actually blue and she turns them red as a form if intimidation. She wears a long black gothic dress with white lace trim, and a long slit down one side up to her thigh; she also wears black high heels.

## Abilities

Rei's primary ability is shape-shifting, which she mainly uses to disguise herself in order to avoid detection. As this shape-shifting occurs at a molecular level, it can also be used as a crude healing factor; by shape-shifting from an injured form into an uninjured one, she can effectively regenerate any damage she sustains in battle. It takes Rei a few seconds to shape-shift, but her level of vulnerability while doing so is unknown.

Rei fights using two ultra-sharp katanas that are capable of punching straight through the glass cockpits of the City Patrol mecha, as well as taking advantage of a weak spot at the back of the mecha's legs that leaves them crippled. She demonstrates impressive agility and dexterity while fighting, especially considering she fights while wearing three-inch heels.

## Appearances in other media

Rei will appear as a playable character in the crossover fighting game *When Worlds Collide*. Her signature transformation ability will be present, allowing her to temporarily transform into another random fighter.

An alternate-universe version of Rei, named Sayuri Motozaki, was used by Nurse in the role-playing forum Katawa Shoujo: The New Generation. There, Sayuri was a promising kendo player who suffered a massive growth spurt that crippled her legs, forcing her to give up the sport and move to Yamaku Academy. Although initially frustrated with her condition, and determined to learn to walk again, she eventually grew comfortable with her condition and graduated from Yamaku in May 2014. Further alternate versions of Sayuri were used in the site's "Elseworlds" stories.

## Trivia

* At 183cm tall, and 190cm in her high heels, Rei is Nurse's tallest female character.
