Rei Ayanami Expy	comment	The Rei Ayanami Expy is a character archetype common in Japanese Media, started, or at least codified, by Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Common characteristics of the archetype include: Love Interest (usually female). Mysterious and/or otherworldly origins. Dark and Troubled Past Age 10-20, at least apparent. Pale skin. Short, usually bobbed hair. Unnatural hair color, often in cold tones like blue, purple, green, silver, grey or white (also occasionally pink). Unnatural eye color, often red, blue, yellow, or even purple, usually in a Tsurime Eyes style. Appears emotionless, quiet, stoic, or otherwise odd. A tendency towards talking in Spock Speak, Monotone, Robo Speak, or a combination thereof. Might lack knowledge and/or interest in social mores, including nudity and sexuality. Is not quite human, such as an Artificial Human, Transhuman, clone, alien or robot, explaining their odd behavior. Suffers a major injury or illness, or at least is frequently hospitalized. Occasionally has a strong connection to a parental figure, boss and/or antagonist, and may even display Undying Loyalty to them. The protagonist might replace him after enough development. Eventually becomes more emotional, such as by Becoming A Real Girl or turning out to have a Sugar-and-Ice Personality. Rei Ayanami herself exhibits every characteristic, and many other characters have been created as variations on her. However, the popularity of this archetype has also led many of the variations to spawn Expies of their own. A Sub-Trope of Fountain of Expies and Shy Blue-Haired Girl. Compare to Phlebotinum Girl. See also Sugar-and-Ice Personality, Emotionless Girl and Stoic Woobie.

Fremy is the first and only half human/half kyouma in the world and she was once the Six Flower Killer, an assassin who killed potential future heroes of the Six Flowers. She was chosen as a Brave after she was betrayed by the Kyouma who raised her, her own mother among them. At first, she doesn't want to trust anyone ever again, but Adlet gains her trust and she falls in love with him.

Justified as she is a emotionless living corpse who was slowly regaining her humanity upon interacting with the season's Supporting Protagonist Chihiro/Kamen Rider Amazon Neo, only with bad results of going berserk after she remembers how she died at her Amazon father's hands.

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_18ce5aab	comment	Samurai Shodown Shiki is older than the average, but otherwise fits the bill nicely (the whole Technicolor Eyes thing being derived from Demonic Possession, but she has heterochromia meaning she's not completely being controlled). Her daughter Mikoto from Samurai Shodown: Warriors Rage not just has the same personality as her mother (but less cold than her), her age (19yo) and her hair and eyes colors (a light-violet tone and red eyes) fits this trope to a T. And not to mention she has an inner fight with her good and evil sides, being the latter the new incarnation of the Demon "Yuga the Destroyer", the Big Bad from 64 series.

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War has Deirdre and her daughter by Arvis, Julia for the first and second generations. While they don't fit every trope, they do fit quite a few — Deirdre is Sigurd's wife, and Julia acts as a bait and switch love interest for Seliph, who turns out to be her half-brother through Deirdre's relationship with Sigurd. They have silvery hair, and oddly light colored eyes. They have very stoic demeanors due to their respective childhood situations of how they were raised. While they are human, they are the only ones with major Naga holy blood, which makes them unique among the other humans and instrumental to the plot. Thea, the middle sister of the Pegasus Knights from Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. She looks the part and has the Sugar-and-Ice Personality down pat. The dancer Ninian from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. Though she lacks the short hair, it is blue (a shade of teal, to be exact), and she has red eyes, an unusual color even for Fire Emblem standards, as well as pale skin, and is pretty frail both in cutscenes and in combat. She's also notably shy and reserved but can open up to all three of her support options (one of which is a possible love interest), and hides a dark secret; she's a half-dragon born from a human father. Her tragic family history is revealed in Hector's story, in which the player learns that her father is the main antagonist, Nergal, who sent her and her brother through the Dragon's Gate for their own protection during the Scouring, a massive human/dragon war. Their mother, Aenir, was killed, and Nergal, seeking to reunite with his children after the war was over, began experimenting with unscrupulous dark magic that warped his mind and made him forget his original purpose. Centuries later, in an ironic twist of fate, he manages to call his children back through the Gate, but they don't remember him, and he doesn't remember he had children in the first place, only wanting to use the siblings to further his own goals of obtaining power. Worst of all, he actually laughs when Eliwood accidentally kills her. Katarina of Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem. Hard to spot early in the game, but she fits the trope as her backstory gets revealed. Physically she's got light purple hair in a bobcut, is extremely shy, jumpy and reserved, and even confesses to being an orphan and suffering a lot of abuse in her childhood. She shows an Undying Loyalty towards her caretaker, Eremiya, for giving her a home, even though she's fully aware of being raised to become a Tyke Bomb to kill Marth. While she's fully human, over the story she's constantly compared to a puppet, and she sees herself as such. Her time with the 7th Platoon and especially her developing feelings for Kris cause her to become conflicted, to the point she prefers to die to atone for her sins until Kris and Marth talk her out of it.

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_271c1469	comment	Death Parade give us a rare male Deconstruction in Decim, the main character. As an Arbiter, heâ€™s part of a species that canâ€™t feel human emotions. However, while all the other Arbiters have at least one defining character trait, Decimâ€™s defining characteristic is his virtual lack of personality. Itâ€™s only from working alongside his human assistant that he eventually begins to display any sort of emotion, and even then, itâ€™s very subtle. He is shown to be extremely confused and distraught when it comes to dealing with the more negative feelings that humans experience, and when he finally learns how to understand and empathize with Chiyuki, he breaks down screaming and crying out of guilt and sorrow. Even though he returns to work, itâ€™s heavily implied that the experience will ultimately ruin him.

She also undergoes Character Development where she becomes more emotional and well-adjusted. However, she is not anyone's love interest and if anything is a overemotional Motor Mouth instead of stoic or robotic.

A straighter example is Konan, the only female member of the Akatsuki. She is a blue-haired, orange-eyed woman who speaks little, but is loyal to the leader, Pain, with whom she shared a tragic life, including the death of a man she loved. Despite her cold exterior, she eventually lets emotions get the better of her, going down in an epic Last Stand against the Big Bad himself all so she can prevent him from dooming the entire world.

Naki is the first non-binary example of the tropenote due to their actor, Satsuki Nakayama, is in fact asexual at that time; expressing their desire not to be defined as either male or female, before coming out as a transgender male a few years after the series ended. Naki is introduced as a rather aloof and emotionless Humagear who initially worked for Gai Amatsu before the events of the second arc; who eventually gets shot for questioning his methods. Their eventual Heelâ€“Face Turn allowed them to reach Singularity, which makes Humagears feel emotions like humans, thanks to their connection with Isamu Fuwa, when it was revealed that their AI chip being embedded in Fuwa's neural implants.

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_44fe781e	comment	Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion, the Trope Namer, Trope Maker, and a Deconstruction of the archetype itself (making this an Unbuilt Trope). Rei is an emotionally unexpressive 14-year-old girl with pale skin, blue hair and red eyes who serves as one of the protagonist's Love Interests; however, before he gets closer to her, she only relates to his father, who also happens to be a weird and somewhat disturbing father figure for her. After being heavily injured during a battle at the start of the series, Rei slowly becomes more intimate with the protagonist as her stunted social skills improve. Her Angelic heritage and superpowers are first hinted at in episode 19 and explicitly displayed in episode 24. This eventually leads the main character, Shinji, to learn that Rei is one of multiple clones made to house the soul of an Eldritch Abomination that's the key to a planned Assimilation Plot... and is also partially made from the DNA of his dead mother.

First is the Protagonist himself, who possesses blue hair and eyes that are either blue or silverish, and also appears emotionless but gradually becomes more human as he forms bonds. (His characterization in the first animated movie adaption mirrors Rei's in the first Rebuild movie, complete with a When She Smiles moment!) Second is Aigis, with her robotic nature and exotic looks, but isn't quite as emotionless so much as initially single-minded. Her role only settles in when Ryoji, the Kaworu Expy, enters the story and she immediately becomes suspicious of him.

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_62a7de21	comment	Of all characters, Azumanga Daioh's Sakaki is a subversion. She's directly based on Rei — more specifically, Rei as she was depicted in the author's Neon Genesis Evangelion doujinshi, which were much Denser and Wackier. One of these comics has her winning an award from her adoring fanbase, to which she responds with confusion and disinterest. While Sakaki doesn't have much of a physical resemblance to Rei (other than her Tsurime Eyes), she does have the "stoic and monotone" aspect down to a T, and she's constantly bandaged up in her pursuit of cats. Sakaki also gradually diverges from Rei over time as it's revealed she's simply a Shrinking Violet rather than emotionless or inhuman, and later volumes show her as something of a Comically Serious Cloudcuckoolander when she opens up to her friends.

While he lacks the more outlandish hair and eye colors, his appearance still stands out from the rest of the population of Suburbia.

His bladed fingers due to his creator dying from old age right when he was going to give him regular human hands also adds to his otherworly character. Also his face is Covered with Scars due to his bladed fingers. As the film came out five years before Evangelion debuted, Edward could be considered a proto-example of this.

While being older, having a rather more well-adjusted and sociable personality, and with nothing artificial about her origin, she's the only Japanese character in the film, is stoic and reserved, fiercely loyal to her adoptive father figure, and sports Rei's haircut as said above. It's even colored blue, though only at the tips. She also happens to be a Humongous Mecha pilot. Popular fan consensus is that it's supposed to say, "We took some inspiration from Evangelion but didn't try to ape it." Explicitly invoked in the Japanese dub: instead of having Rinko Kikuchi dub her own lines over in Japanese (which she would be perfectly capable of doing), Mako is voiced by the same person responsible for Rei — Megumi Hayashibara. You can't get to be a bigger Expy than that!

However, said orphanage also used children who had special properties in dangerous experiments; after Bronya's friend Seele became trapped in another dimension because of one such experiment, Bronya proposed herself to take part in it. As the experiment failed, she largely lost the ability to feel emotions, as well as the use of her legs. This is notably marked by her becoming a Third-Person Person; as a playable character, her speech is always formal and technical. Her silver hair doubles as a Phenotype Stereotype, since she was born in Siberia. The cherry on the cake? In version 4.5's Crossover event with Evangelion, Bronya literally plays the role of Rei in a recreation of Eva's story set in the Honkai universe.

Curiously, Yuki is described in the novels as having black hair (since in the Haruhi universe people have normal hair colors) but in the anime and even in the novels' art, it appears of a purplish blue similar to Rei's (but much more pale). Her characterization, however, has some variance: She is a love interest only briefly, if that (though she is one in the spin-off where she's a normal human Shrinking Violet); she neither is a Mysterious Waif nor does she have a Dark and Troubled Past (if anything, she becomes more interesting the more we know her); and the becoming more emotional part is downplayed, in that her affect remains as flat as ever, but she seems to undergo significant Character Development and emotional development under the surface (despite the fact she states her affect will always be flat, she nevertheless seems to become more expressive and animate in her own way as the series progresses).

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_76d1f0	comment	Blazblue The Murakumo Units, a series of Magitek cyborgs. There are three playable Murakumos and each of them have some of Rei's traits. As a whole, Murakumos are young women with light hair and skin, draw power from an Eldritch Location, were created by an abusive Mad Scientist father, are varying flavors of The Woobie and are clones of Ragna's (the protagonist) long lost sister. Lambda-11 is curious, innocent, developing emotions, has red eyes and is forced into battle by her boss and sort of mother figure Kokonoe because there's just no other choice. Noel, aka Mu-12, didn't know she was a Murakumo for years and developed a proper (but meek) personality, initially serving the local State Sec to support her family but eventually breaking away from that to help save the world. Nu-13 has the characteristic red eyes, silvery blue hair and pale skin and being seemingly Delicate and Sickly, and switches from being utterly emotionless to the definition of Yandere whenever Ragna shows up. She also takes the darker aspects of Rei's Unbuilt Trope nature to much darker extremes, effectively turning her into a Corrupted Character Copy of Rei. Their genetic template, Saya, was pretty similar to Noel before becoming the Imperator and being made a vessel for Izanami, the Goddess of Death. When Ragna meets an adult Saya for the first time, her appearance and personality took a huge change. She is absolutely devoid of emotion, ruthless, nihilistic and hateful towards the world. Her golden locks have become purple, and her previously jade eyes are now crimson. All of this can be attributed to her being possessed by Izanami, and Saya's consciousness apparently struggles for control, resulting in the Imperator showing some sympathy towards Ragna and despising Terumi.

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_78e27fa7	comment	The dancer Ninian from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. Though she lacks the short hair, it is blue (a shade of teal, to be exact), and she has red eyes, an unusual color even for Fire Emblem standards, as well as pale skin, and is pretty frail both in cutscenes and in combat. She's also notably shy and reserved but can open up to all three of her support options (one of which is a possible love interest), and hides a dark secret; she's a half-dragon born from a human father. Her tragic family history is revealed in Hector's story, in which the player learns that her father is the main antagonist, Nergal, who sent her and her brother through the Dragon's Gate for their own protection during the Scouring, a massive human/dragon war. Their mother, Aenir, was killed, and Nergal, seeking to reunite with his children after the war was over, began experimenting with unscrupulous dark magic that warped his mind and made him forget his original purpose. Centuries later, in an ironic twist of fate, he manages to call his children back through the Gate, but they don't remember him, and he doesn't remember he had children in the first place, only wanting to use the siblings to further his own goals of obtaining power. Worst of all, he actually laughs when Eliwood accidentally kills her.

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_7965bb13	comment	Chronicler from Citadel of the Heart is a rare male example of this trope. Lack of knowledge of the social norm, bluish black hair, eyes with silver pupils and red irises, generally mysterious with an other-worldly origin, 18 years old at the time of his official introduction, pale skin, an entire past of being abused by those who had some degree of power and or authority over him, he's a Half-Human Hybrid so he's definitely Not Quite Human, and he's also a love interest for Suguha. It's also worth noting that his skin becomes more of a peach color later on, but it doesn't mesh with either his mother who has more traditional dark skin, or his father, who while having pale skin, has so due to an unnatural genetic disorder as opposed to having any sort of natural paleness to his skin tone.

Very light turquoise hair, a Human Alien, very attached to her boss at first and is a sick and Emotionless Girl as a result of her upbringing, prior to a traumatic event that would trigger her Character Development, which then was accelerated much further by meeting her love interest. Specifically, she was used by the government as a Tyke Bomb, and trained to kill almost remorselessly, until one day, when she was checking a pile of corpses looking for wounded people to finish off, she found three orphans, had a huge epiphany, and decided then and there to adopt them and defect from the military. Realistically enough, she could still slip back into emotionless behavior on occasion. The occasions presented themselves.

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_81f5d35d	comment	Kamen Rider: Kamen Rider Amazons: Iyu Hoshino/Crow Amazon, the female lead of Season 2, is a deconstructed take on the trope as she doesn't physically resemble Rei, having tan skin and long dark hair, but otherwise she's the trope to a T. Justified as she is a emotionless living corpse who was slowly regaining her humanity upon interacting with the season's Supporting Protagonist Chihiro/Kamen Rider Amazon Neo, only with bad results of going berserk after she remembers how she died at her Amazon father's hands. Kamen Rider Zero-One: Is is the Humagear secretary to the series' protagonist who started off as an Emotionless Girl with an underdeveloped mentality who can do a bit of expression before she gained enough development to reached her own Singularity, only for her to get killed by Horobi and replaced with a new version of her during the series' endgame until she truly came back to life via her merger with her new self during the events of Kamen Rider Zero-One: REALÃ—TIME. Naki is the first non-binary example of the tropenote due to their actor, Satsuki Nakayama, is in fact asexual at that time; expressing their desire not to be defined as either male or female, before coming out as a transgender male a few years after the series ended. Naki is introduced as a rather aloof and emotionless Humagear who initially worked for Gai Amatsu before the events of the second arc; who eventually gets shot for questioning his methods. Their eventual Heelâ€“Face Turn allowed them to reach Singularity, which makes Humagears feel emotions like humans, thanks to their connection with Isamu Fuwa, when it was revealed that their AI chip being embedded in Fuwa's neural implants.

Second is Aigis, with her robotic nature and exotic looks, but isn't quite as emotionless so much as initially single-minded. Her role only settles in when Ryoji, the Kaworu Expy, enters the story and she immediately becomes suspicious of him. Persona 4 has Naoto Shirogane, who has blue-bobbed hair and silver (or blue) eyes, and usually has a calm personality with a mysterious vibe to boot.

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_a68c19b8	comment	Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War has Deirdre and her daughter by Arvis, Julia for the first and second generations. While they don't fit every trope, they do fit quite a few — Deirdre is Sigurd's wife, and Julia acts as a bait and switch love interest for Seliph, who turns out to be her half-brother through Deirdre's relationship with Sigurd. They have silvery hair, and oddly light colored eyes. They have very stoic demeanors due to their respective childhood situations of how they were raised. While they are human, they are the only ones with major Naga holy blood, which makes them unique among the other humans and instrumental to the plot.

She not only has the pale skin, bobcut, and is a stoic Mysterious Waif Artificial Human (among many clones) to boot, but over the course of the story, Io develops feelings for the beyond obeying the orders of the Successors. She was created by Cruz only to absorb the relics (pieces of Cruz's body) similar to how Rei was created from Lilith's DNA. Her fate in the three endings also reference The End of Evangelion as well: In To Eternity her body is petrified, in Heirs she disintegrates and crumbles, and in Dwellers in the Dark she absorbs legendary relics to form a sacred tree and Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence, though she maintains a presence to the protagonist. For bonus points, she shares an English voice actress with Rei from the Rebuild of Evangelion continuity as well.

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_bf23eedd	comment	Fullmetal Alchemist: Riza Hawkeye is an older, subtle example. She's a very disciplined soldier who's extremely proficient with guns, has a reserved strict stoic demeanor but "a gentle heart" shown with how she cares for her fellow soldiers, the Elric brothers and her dog Black Hayate, and shows Undying Loyalty to Colonel Roy Mustang to the point of promising to kill him along with herself if he strays too far down the path of darkness. Along with the PTSD she has from committing war crimes in Ishval, she also has a Dark and Troubled Past with an abusive neglectful father who tattooed the secrets of flame alchemy onto her back, and when Roy betrays her trust by using flame alchemy to commit mass genocide, Riza chooses to take the blame by having him burn her back. Appearance wise, Riza has the large Tsurime Eyes which are reddish in the first anime, and had short hair while in Ishval. Lan Fan is another Action Girl who has a Bodyguard Crush dynamic with Ling very similar to that of Riza and Roy, becomes furious whenever anyone remotely insults him and shows her undying loyalty during their fight with King Bradley when she cuts off her own arm and ties it to a dog in order to distract him. She's shown to be very shy and withdrawn without her mask and bashful around Ling. In Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), the homunculus Sloth has traits of this, having the emotionless demeanor, devotion to the antagonist and identity issues down. The most notable similarity she has to Rei is being a "clone" of the protagonists' mother (she's the result of Ed and Al's attempt to resurrect Trisha.)

She has pale skin, unnatural hair and (in the anime) eye color, indeterminate origins, isn't entirely human, has a very cold demeanor (even after defrosting) unless she's killing someone, serves as a love interest to the main male lead Kouta, and is single-mindedly devoted to him. However, her single-minded devotion to Kouta has led to deadly consequences for everyone involved. She also suffers a significant injury by getting shot in the head in the beginning, is the key to the Big Bad's plans, and, closer to the original take, serves as an Apocalypse Maiden in the climax. With all of those facts, she's one of the few examples who actually stays true to the original character's Unbuilt Trope nature.

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_e8d19c42	comment	Melphonshina from Phantasy Star Online 2 more or less falls straight into this trope, minus being a love interest. Her Dark and Troubled Past being that she was envious of the relationship between Gettemhult and his partner, and wished to be in her place. After she's used by Gettemhult to release Dark Falz Elder, she gets seriously injured. After Dark Falz Elder sacrifices himself two Episodes later, she breaks out of this to a degree.

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_ed2a7866	comment	Sword Art Online: Shino Asada/Sinon. She has short hair, fair skin, a Dark and Troubled Past, and an emotionally-distant demeanor that defrosts thanks to the main character. Her MMORPG counterpart Sinon even has the blue hair and eyes to go with it. Alice is an even more quintessential example than Shino Asada/Sinon. While she lacks the outlandish hair coloring (at least in-game) and pale skin, she's also much more stoic than her (even after defrosting), is incredibly socially-inept outside of UW, and was an AI that got a robot body. She even gets an Asuka-esque counterpart with Asuna (who's not only spelled but look similary to her). Being also an expy of Saber (who herself is one) probably helped.

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_eeaaec28	comment	Ruri Hoshino of Martian Successor Nadesico. Blue-grey hair, yellow eyes, odd origins, very stoic. As the anime first aired in 1997, she was the very first Expy of Rei Ayanami; however, she's more of a response to Rei than a homage and thus doesn't exactly mirror Rei in personality, being a Little Miss Snarker instead.

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_ef8bd4a5	comment	Mega Man: Sera in Mega Man Legends 2. Appearance-wise she fits the trope to a T, with the sole exception of having dark skin as opposed to pale. After she's awakened, she spends the game guiding the protagonists to uncover the mystery of the Mother Lode, only to reveal that she's planning to activate the Elysium's Carbon Reinitialization Program, which would wipe out the populace on earth. Pandora from Mega Man ZX. An Emotionless, green-haired, red-eyed Reploid. She and her brother Prometheus act as Co-Dragons for the Big Bad and their origins remain a mystery until their Dark and Troubled Past is revealed late in ZX Advent.

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_f04b4111	comment	Samus Aran became this trope in Metroid: Other M, with characteristics from both Rei and Shinji. She speaks in a stoic monotone, seems to suffer from low self-esteem like Shinji, and lots of emphasis is placed on her loyalty to Adam (much like Rei's loyalty to Gendo) and her Dark and Troubled Past, both of which are the cause of most of her emotional breakdowns throughout the game (such emotional breakdowns were a staple of Evangelion). A flashback scene even gives her a bobbed haircut similar to Rei's.

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_f0688fff	comment	Courtney from PokÃ©mon Ruby is re-imagined along those lines in the remake, OmegaRuby, with robotic mostly short speech patterns (though she does speak full sentences at certain points, though with William Shatner levels of pauses), violet hair and eyes. Ironically, different traits, such as short hair and an attraction to a protagonist are only apparent in the Ruby and Sapphire chapters of PokÃ©mon Adventures which is based on the original games and thus is not an Emotionless Girl there (or in the original games for that matter). In both cases she does have a connection to the antagonist, being a member of Team Magma and one of its Co-Dragons.

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_f3280495	comment	Primula of SHUFFLE!. A young Emotionless Girl with very light purple hair and pale skin. In the anime, emotions cause her magical powers to go haywire. In the visual novel they're hoping she can gain emotions to show the program she's part of is a success, putting her into a human environment is part of the program, her magic has little to do with it. In both she is an artificial lifeform.

Rei Ayanami Expy / int_fcfec4b6	comment	Kirika Yuumura, from Noir is another brunette with similarities - Initially emotionless, although she does cry in episode one (although she's crying because she can't feel regret, not because of the dozen men she just killed), soft-spoken and created as a weapon. Her eyes are at the red end of brown, getting redder whenever there's an open fire around - used to great effect when her 'true self' comes out towards the end of the series. The series ends with her choosing between being human, or being a weapon.
