Rei's Family

Ok, so, we all know that Rei has a flirty Grandfather, right? But, what about the rest of her family? Where's Rei's parents? And her grandmother? What kind of girl would go for Rei's grandfather? Anyone have any ideas?

Rei's mother died when Rei was very young. She doesn't like her politician father that much, but she still goes to TA Private Girls school because he wanted her too. Nothing is said on her grandmother or other relatives, but she does have a cousin who is an artist that lives in the mountains.

Maybe's Rei's cousin is Michiru? That would explain why the two don't get along. ^^

^^;; You see Rei's cousin in Sailor Stars. without saying enough to spoil, it's also a guy. I laughed my ass off at that episode.

I think I saw a picture of him once. Does he look kinda like Yuuichirou?

*nods* A little. The only difference is you can see his eyes more clearly.

Not sure if it was a spoiler to some or not, so I put tags on just in case.

In the manga, Rei's grandfather wasn't lecherous, and probably actually had had a wife.

He didn't look like a shaved monkey, either... like he did in the anime.

LOL

By the way, Rei's cousin's name is Kengo. He's only in the anime though

I like Oji-chan in episode 30!

Do you prefer anime Grandpa Hino or manga Grandpa Hino? I'm a little torn, but in the end I'll have to say anime because he's a lot, lot funnier in the anime. ^.^

Rei's "grandfather hits on everyone regardless of their age or gender." ^^;;

Actually, that's probably true. In episode 10, you can see a clip of him leering at a man.

That one episode with Rei's cousin actually made me cry, [spoiler]especially when young Rei gets the small pendant from the cousin, then sees it again later after the cousin becomes a youma.[/spoiler]

Actually, I was quoting it from the Japanese version. Rei herself mentions it in the episode where she first appears.

I rather like both versions of Rei, but the manga has always been very interesting. Grandpa isn't a lech, but a very respectable priest and seems more like someone who could raise a granddaughter without needing to be whacked with a broom. Her mom died when Rei was young (you actually get to see her picture) and Rei's father is a politican. From what it sounds like, quite successful, but never has time for Rei except on her birthday...sometimes not even then. Rei is the quiet type and because of the sorrow that she's experienced she doesn't want to marry and have children. She did have one romance, but the guy was a jerk and frankly, I think she should have used Flame Sniper on him for it. Most of this is found in the bonus story about the Rain Tree music box in the 11th volume of the manga.

*nods* this is what I have been thinking about through this whole thread. Thanks for the title, though! I couldn't remember what it was called, and all my manga is at my mom's house.
