Rebi, alternately spelled Revi, is a young orphan navigating life without her mother and an absent father whose identity shrouds her early years. Rescued from a transport ship attack, she finds refuge aboard the Arcadia under the care of Dr. Ban. Though too young for official roles, she becomes an earnest helper to Tadashi, the ship’s cook, forging a bond that begins with youthful admiration and matures into steadfast camaraderie as they adapt to shipboard life.

Her father’s identity surfaces as Captain Bentselle, once commanding the starship Deathshadow, now unwittingly manipulated into targeting the Arcadia. Their lone meeting occurs during a Christmas gathering, but their fragile connection fractures when Bentselle sacrifices himself to save the vessel, his act preceding Rebi’s grasp of their kinship. Despite renewed orphanhood, the crew envelops her in unwavering solidarity.

A seashell from La Mime—a fellow survivor of a shattered homeworld—anchors Rebi’s past, symbolizing resilience amid displacement. Her journey threads through loss, tenacity, and the fragile bonds of chosen family, her interactions mirroring the crew’s shared struggles and emotional tapestry.
