Rem (Japanese: レム, Hepburn: Remu) is a fictional character from the fantasy light novel and anime series Re:Zero, created by Tappei Nagatsuki. She is voiced by Inori Minase in Japanese and by Brianna Knickerbocker in the English dub. She first appeared within Volume 2 of the light novel, "The Road to Redemption Begins" in 2014 and made her anime debut in the episode "The Happy Roswaal Mansion Family", the fourth episode of the anime, in April 2016.
Rem is the younger sister of Ram and works as a maid for Roswaal L. Mathers and is a supporter of Emilia's faction. She initially and mistakenly accused Subaru of being a member of the Witch's Cult due to having the Witch's Scent which results in her killing him two times. However, after he managed to save her at the Elior Forest, she becomes infatuated with him, deeming Subaru as her "hero". Despite Subaru turning her proposal down, she remains to be one of his closest allies throughout the earlier chapters.
Rem was ranked as the most popular female character in a poll conducted in 2016 and has become a fan-favorite within the anime, being consistently ranked in the Top 3 in popularity polls. She has also won the "Best Girl" category during the 1st Crunchyroll Anime Awards and had an official special event dedicated to her and Ram.
