Personality[]
Rein activating her ability.
Rein is a level-headed woman who typically keeps her cool. She shows some analytical skills unlike the Jack and plans out her moves accordingly. She's not known to shy away from trash-talking her inferiors either.
Rein may be confident in her abilities, but gets noticeably exasperated when she realizes she's out of her depth. She began to fret when she realized that Arlo could afford to toy with her despite her own strength and skill.
She is also horrified after being brainwashed into killing a man.
Season 1[]
Turf War[]
Rein first appeared when Wellston challenged Agwin to a Turf War. Being their new Queen, she quickly defeated Wellston's Jack, Blyke, after the latter had defeated Gou.[1] However, she more than met her match against Wellston's King, Arlo, who nonchalantly overwhelmed and subdued her. After trapping her in of his Barriers, Arlo began strangling Rein, much to everyone's horror. [2]Despite Broven calling her out, Arlo did not stop, and his Barrier prevented her team from directly intervening. It wasn't until Seraphina jumped in and shattered Arlo's force field that Rein's humiliation ended. Agwin's winning streak was broken, despite their opposition's overall disrespect for the spirit of the competition.[3]
Season 2[]
Escalation[]
Months later, Rein became afflicted with a dip in her power level. The perpetrators of her condition, Spectre, followed up their act by abducting her and two others in the same weakened condition. When the three came face-to-face with the plot's mastermind, Orrin, one of her fellow hostages got confrontational. This resulted in all three getting mind-controlled. The outspoken one was forced to hold still while Rein and the third one worked jointly to kill him. Upon being freed, Rein was shocked to see what her own two hands had accomplished.[4] This was done so Orrin could control her and blackmail her by threatening to report her for murder so she would join Spectre.
Rebellion[]
What a way to greet your old foe
Rein's first assignment as a Spectre agent was to check on the control room. Her handler was suspicious of the voice difference between the surveillance team and the current inhabitants of the room. When she arrived there, she was surprised to see Arlo and an unknown woman, with the original guards knocked out. Remembering her past humiliation she suffered at his hand, Rein attacked Arlo. She didn't let up, not even to give him a chance to explain himself. Sensing his struggle, she taunted him on how the tables has turned. Before she could squeeze the life out of him, Kassandra intervened. Despite the momentary relief it brought for Arlo, Rein went off again on him. It took Kassandra reinforcing his barrier in order for him not to lose. She introduced herself to Rein, and promised to free the girl from the stranglehold of Spectre.[5]
Rein reminisced Orrin's threat about Authorities going to arrest her and the other high-tier for the murder of Melvin. He convinced both of them to work for him in exchange for their abilities to be returned. She contemplated on Kassandra's offer, and eventually decided she no longer want to work for Orrin. Arlo interjected by stating her circumstance was similar to his friend, but she dismissed him (and even wondered how could a young man like him ended up working for Authorities). Kassandra affirmed his words, guaranteed her that authorities would help her regain her ability and grant her immunity from the crimes she did for Spectre. Left with no choice, Rein complied.
On their way out, the trio were ambushed by the security team. They made short work of their enemies, but this prompted a change of plan. Rein would break them all out of there from the main entrance. Boosted by Kassandra's Particles, Rein began to chip away at the rolling door. They made some progress when Arlo was suddenly attacked by the reinforcements. Rein hit back at the duo for helping Orrin kidnapped and blackmailed her into working for them. Before she got her due payback, Orrin took over her mind.[6]
Now fully under Orrin's control, Rein attacked Arlo and Kassandra. The agents helped her pin the Authorities duo down. They eventually managed break through Arlo's Barrier, and Rein held both him and Kassandra with her spider legs. Before she could land the finishing blow, the dampener they contracted earlier expired. Arlo and Kassandra used this opportunity to knock her out. However, Rein recovered and joined by more Spectre agents. As Arlo and Kassandra braced themselves for the final stand, Authorities arrived at the battlefield.[7]
Rein could only watch as the government officials defeated her "peers". Orrin, along with his two lieutenants, ditched her to scram from there. She and other downed agents were arrested and brought to the Bureau.[8] At the prison, Kassandra visited Rein and promised to clear her of the charges. However, she asked the defendant to wait for a while as the proof pointed to her. Furious and felt betrayed, Rein told Kassandra off.[9]

Boob Envy[]
While Rein is fighting Arlo, Seraphina looks at her breasts enviously.[10]
Powers and Abilities[]
Rein is the most powerful student in Agwin High school, and has thus earned her title as its Queen. Power aside, she has proven herself to be one its most capable combatants. Ever since she joined the roster, Agwin has never lost save for the battle against Wellston. She has likely become a high-tier after her fight with Arlo, given Spectre's interest in her.
Arachnid[]
Rein's ability allows her to sprout gigantic spider-like legs from her back which she can then use for offense or defense.[1][2] The maximum number of legs she can sprout is unknown but she has been shown to utilize at least eight, which is likely the maximum, as her power is called Arachnid.

Notes & Trivia[]
- Rein's ability Arachnid is obviously named after the real-life class of animals arachnids, most particularly spiders.
- The fact that the most legs Rein has spawned is 8 also strengthens the naming.
- Rein's name is one letter shy of the French word for "queen" (reine), though it isn't likely to be an intentional reference to her rank at Agwin.
