-
Age
16
Gender
Female ♀
Race
Human
Appearance
Rea is a rather slim girl of average height, standing at 5'5". Despite her thin stature, her midsection and arms show some light definition due to her lean physique. She possesses a tan complexion, lavender eyes, and a rebellious blonde mane, which she has given up trying to maintain beyond basic parting.
Generally considered attractive by the boys in her grade, Rea has a reputation for being unapprochable due to her perpetually tired and lightly-annoyed resting expression, which clash with her otherwise dainty features. There is a small bar code tattoo underneath her right eye, alongside her cheekbones, which she has received at an early point in her life, which she is highly self-conscious about.
Rea prefers casual chique and comfortable clothes, often sporting sweaters, and long skirts, though she has a habit of lounging about in her sleep wear all day when left to her devices.
Personality
Rea is generally a fairly level-headed and mature young woman. However, she has a notorious issue with indulging her laziness, often oversleeping, putting off work until the last possible moment, and sometimes missing deadlines or dates entirely. Rea is almost cripplingly-dependent on caffeine to get into the swing of things, and becomes increasingly cranky if she is deprived of it for extended periods of time.
Perhaps fueled by her lingering lethargy, Rea is unwaveringly prone to get unreasonably comfortable in places she probably shouldn't be. She is a drag to get out of bed, will cling to any bed or couch she can find, and tends to lower her guard or even nap off wherever there is a soft seat to be found. She is also quite the homemaker, in a sense, as she loves to tidy up places and make them particularly cozy and lovely. Dragging Rea away from a carefully-prepared hot cup and a good book is like playing with fire, as she will explode into a comical hissyfit when kept from enjoying her downtime.
Though Rea has a reputation among her peers for being confrontational and loudmouthed, self-restraint is prominently on her mind, as she is afraid of strengthening negative prejuidice she may evoke due to her background and abilities. Though she is, in fact, no pushover, Rea has a tendency to become quiet and sometimes even bashful when she is infatuated on someone - because this behavior is quite easy to pick out, it is a great source of embarrassment for Rea.

Backstory
Rea was abducted as one of many children in a crime spree that swept across England 16 years ago. Though the identity behind the perpetrator remains a mystery to this very day, exhaustive investigations have concluded that at least one Witch was involved, though it is believed that the incidents were not related to any one entity within the Witch society, such as the Order. Though Rea's memories are flakey, she has recollected vivid memories of other children, all seemingly of prepubescent age. Another detail that has burned itself into her mind was the fact that in spite of their young age, every child present exhibited unusually developed demon weapon transformations. Few of the missing children have been found within the abandoned facility, with Rea being one of just seven.
Numerous examinations conducted after Rea's rescue indicated that her bloodstream had clearly been altered, showing heavy traces of the nefarious Black Blood. Furthermore, it was concluded that Rea, much like the other abducted children, had been originally born a Demon Weapon. Initially chalking the other voice up to psychological damage, Rea had become host to a second entity, called Giles, whom she had become a symbiotic Meister to. Because none of the exhibited behavior or shared information matched any of the known missing reports, it was concluded that Rea's Black Blood treatment had transformed select personality traits of herself and other victims, as well as her own Demon Weapon abilities, into a seperate entity's soul within her.
Returning to mundane society at the gentle age of 10, Rea was troubled fitting in with other kids her age. As such, she has learned from a young age on to be her own best friend, to make the best out of her time and situation, and how to deal with the unfairly heightened expectations of others. Though frightened by the second presence inside her body, Rea grew to co-exist with him, ultimately accepting Giles, who, to her surprise, held no grudge against her, and instead accepted his fate as her weapon. Originally adopting an impossibly-perfect demeanor, Rea grew to reject all of it, instead living at her own pace.
It wasn't until a renowned Meister agreed to foster her, that the idea of a future at the DWMA developed. Being afforded a normal life, free of judgement or prying, for the first time, Rea took well to his tutelage and ultimately began attending DWMA.

Giles Tabitha
Meister Abilities
Rea may conceal her own Wavelength with the help of Giles, who, at worst, distorts her own wavelength. Though neither of the two have a clue on how to capitalize of this, their teacher admonished them to never forget this ability, as it may one day be absolutely necessary to employ it.
Like all Meisters, Rea has a rudimentary Wavelength Control.
Miscellaneous Abilities/Skills
● In spite of her penchant for lazing around, Rea is physically fit.
● She blindly trusts her partner, allowing her to space out to an extent, if situations become too intense.
● An underdeveloped form of blood hardening, enabled by the Black Blood.
Soul Resonance
An engineered Bond, Rea's and Giles' Soul Resonance consists of Rea briefly relenting a large degree of control, equalizing the pair's input on the technique. In this state, the exchange of power between the pair enables the Ringblade to spin incredibly fast, which does not only increase the weapon's cutting power, but even enables primitive mobility.

Ringblade
Weapon Form Description
A large, hollowed sawblade The teeth of the blade are coarser than most others. It is also quite sleek, visually, possessing dangerously sharp blades on either side of the circle. If it weren't for the Black Blood, this Demon Weapon would likely inflict injury upon its wielder.
Miscellaneous Abilities/Skills
Giles is, to an extent, Rea's courage personified. As such, he tends to motivate or push her onwards, and is of great emotional importance to Rea. He's excellent at pep talks.
Extra
The name Giles Tabitha references Giles Corey, a victim of the Salem witch trials, and Tabitha Babbitt, who is credited with inventing the circular saw used in mills.
