Rie Oohashi

Rei Oohashi (りえ) is a minor character in the manga series Grand Blue. She is a first year student at Oumi Women's University and the childhood friend/later girlfriend of Yuu Mitarai.

Appearance
Rei is a beautiful and slim woman with chin-length black hair and green eyes.

Personality
Rei is a very gentle, lovable and loyal girl on the upseen, but despite having normal good traits, she often succumbs to anger and jealousy, to the point where it becomes abusing her current boyfriend, revealing herself to have a possessive and yanderish side.

Friends:

 * Yuu Mitarai: Rei's childhood friend and boyfriend whose relationship as a couple is often compromised by his nature as a playboy.

Etymology

 * The name Rie is written in hiragana (りえ), which has no special meaning. However, when written in kanji (理枝, 里恵 or 利恵), it could possibly mean:
 * 理枝 - "reason, logic" (理) (ri) and "branch, twig, limb, bough, knot" (枝) (e).
 * 里恵 - "village" (里) (ri) and "favor, benefit" (恵) (e).
 * 利恵 - "benefit, advantage" (利) (ri) and "favor, benefit" (恵) (e).
 * Rie's surname Oohashi means "big, great" (大) (o) and "bridge" (橋) (hashi).
 * Due to the way Japanese long vowels can be romanized, her family name can be spelled Oohashi, Ōhashi or Ohashi, though Kodansha Comics goes with the latter.

Trivia

 * Despite her very slender figure, Rie is one of the strongest characters in the cast, in comparison to Ryuujirou Kotobuki and Shinji Tokita who are huge walls of muscle.
