Rei Tachibana (橘 玲 Tachibana Rei) is a character in Pani Poni Dash!
Appearance[]
Rei has long green hair, brown eyes and round glasses. She mostly wears the normal school uniform with black tights.
Personality[]
Rei is a girl with a heart and appearance as cold as ice. Out of the girls in the class 1-C, Rei is the most mature one. Threatening bodily harm is Rei's way of enforcing order in the classroom with Himeko Katagiri being her usual target. She is the one to put Becky in her place when she gets out of hand as well as the one to lure her out from behind the curtain with candy after she has put fear into her. Rei has the second highest GPA in the entire school and works four days per week at a Chinese restaurant. However, Rei is shown to have no artistic talent. Despite her apparent coldness, Rei is often the one to teach Becky important moral lessons. She is like a big sister to Becky. She has also shown herself to have a greedy streak as when during the school festival she purposely made it so their classroom was the most popular so that she could reap the profits later, something she was unable to do since all profits went to charity.
Manga[]
Her reason for wearing glasses appear to be contradictory in the manga. In one instance, it suggests she is nearly blind without them. In another instance, she indicates she only wears them as a disguise since students at her school are not meant to have part time jobs.
Trivia[]
- Her name Rei (玲) means "the tinkling of jade".

- In the anime, Lucky★ Star , Rei is parodied as a "student who looks older than the teacher" in its third episode. ( As two of the characters {Konata Izumi and Kagami Hiiragi} are talking about different animes and are discussing how Students are in those different animes).
