Rein has purple eyes (depicted as blue in the anime) and medium-length black hair styled in a bob cut. Her typical outfit consists of a light-colored shirt, a black one-piece dress with a skirt, and dark stockings. In casual settings, she opts for a shirt paired with short shorts, although she is sometimes seen without the shorts in more relaxed circumstances.

When participating in Darwin’s Game, Rein dons a large, light-colored coat that drapes over her body from her shoulders to her legs, providing both practicality and concealment. Following the timeskip, her attire evolves into a hooded jacket reminiscent of her earlier coat, which she pairs with black tights and matching shoes, maintaining her tactical yet stylish look.

Rein, despite her young age, exhibits a mature and highly insightful demeanor. She often acts as the voice of reason within her clan and is the primary source of information, crafting strategies with her analytical and logical mindset. She maintains a calm composure even in high-pressure situations, as demonstrated when she insulted Wang while being held by him, showing her ability to remain unflustered under duress. Rein prefers indoor settings and was visibly displeased when Nayuta mentioned that the Out of Range Village lacked internet access.

Rein dislikes being referred to as a child and often reminds people that she is a first-year middle school student. Following the timeskip, she adjusts this statement, asserting that she is now an adult. Her survival philosophy in Darwin’s Game emphasizes escaping over engaging, a principle that has kept her alive thus far. However, as a member of the Sunset Ravens, she resolves to take a stand and fight to protect her newfound home and allies. She also expresses concern that her sense of humor and jokes are often hard for others to understand.

Unlike Shuka, who openly expresses her emotions, Rein is calm and emotionally reserved, often dealing with situations through logic. She notes that it feels as if there are two sides of herself: one that appeals to emotions and another that calmly observes events, likening this duality to depersonalization. Her emotional restraint is apparent in her recollection of not crying when her parents divorced. While she admits to feeling jealous of Sui’s ability to express emotions freely, she acknowledges that her calmness has been instrumental in her survival in Darwin’s Game.
