リナレイ 転校生レイ
An alternative reality version of [[Ayanami Rei]] that appears in the final episode of [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]], [i]"The Beast that Shouted 'I' at the Heart of the World"[/i].

She appears in a different [[school uniform]] than normal (with a [[brown sweater vest|brown]] or [[yellow sweater vest]] , [[white shirt|white]] [[short sleeves|short-sleeved]] [[dress shirt]], [[red necktie]], and [[black skirt|black]] or [[grey skirt]]).

She also has a much more emotive and assertive personality than Rei typically has.  Because the [[scene reference|scene]] she appears in is a parody of the stereotypical "[[late for school|crash into the girl hurrying to get to school]]" meme, she is often depicted running with a piece of [[toast in mouth|toast in her mouth]].

Because Rei shares a voice actress with [[Lina Inverse]] from [[Slayers]] (which originally came out about the same time as Evangelion), and because this alternate version of Rei seemed to share Lina's personality and thus sounded very similar, the Japanese fan community nicknamed this version of her as "Lina Rei".
