Ever since she was a child, her parents had known she would inherit her grandmother's magical abilities. After all, her grandmother had foreseen her birth. At first, her mother was skeptical about anything to do with magic. But her attitude changed as her daughter grew older. When Rei was little, she always seemed deeply in tuned with everything that was going on around her. More so than any normal child. When her father came home from work one day, Rei had announced her happiness over his promotion that day even before he said anything to them about it.<br/><br/>That day, her parents and grandmother got into contact with Beauxbatons Academy and Rei was put on the enrollment list. Her grandmother attended Beauxbatons, so the family was able to get Rei into the school without much trouble. They moved to France and lived with Rei's grandmother, where the young girl continued her muggle schooling. Once she turned 16, she happily boarded the carriage and began her schooling. The academy seemed very happy to have the descendant of such a well known seer attend their school. Naturally, she excelled in Divinations class.<br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong><br/>Mother (Alive) - Muggle<br/><strong>Mimiko Taniguchi (née Namatame)</strong><br/><br/>Father (Alive) - Squib<br/><strong>Daiuske Taniguchi</strong><br/><br/>Grandmother (Alive) - Veela blood.
