Rei Tomoe (途燃霊) is the main protagonist of Vampire Knight Roses. She's a Day Class student and Head Guardian of Cross Academy. She currently is in the care of the aristocratic Yumino family and is investigating the Shima family at the request of Ayane Shima.

Appearance
Rei is a slender and fair skinned female with short red hair and light blue eyes. She often is seen wearing her school uniform but missing the front bow and the collar is slightly undone and includes the armband that expresses that she is a school Guardian or member of the Disciplinary Committee. She also has a gun holster under her skirt where she keeps Bloody Rose.

Personality
Rei is a stoic and strict hothead who appreciates being left alone. However, she is a loyal friend who refuses to back down. Rei is passionate about her loved ones and expresses only liking her foster family over all other vampires. This femme fatale is blunt but won't normally express her feelings about someone unless absolutely necessary. Rei is compassionate and empathetic towards others. She is a good student and pays attention in class even if she is exhausted.

Powers and Abilities
Rei is gifted with Ayane's exclusive powers by drinking a dying Ayane's blood. These powers are:
 * Muscle, bone, and certain organ constriction; she can prevent movement and crush someone from the outside-in but it is very time consuming and can only affect the neck down.

Rei and Ayane's relationship first starts out antagonistic towards each other starting the moment Rei and Ayane met at a party a few years prior to the main story. Rei often expressed hatred towards Ayane who had mutual feelings. Ayane attacked Rei one day in an attempt to get Rei to stop her investigation after the Shima family found out; it was an attempt to get Rei to back down for her and others' safety. Ayane and Rei eventually have to fight off a whole swarm of Level Es and Ayane and Rei become closer as a result. Ayane sacrifices herself to give Rei access to her findings of the Shima family and to her own blood which would allow Rei to use Ayane's powers in small amounts.

Trivia

 * Rei's Etymology is as follows:
 * To (途) means "way/road/route" and Moe (燃) means "blaze/glow/burn". Rei (霊) refers to spirits or souls. Thus her name could mean "the blazing road of spirits".
