Rea is the female lead of the series. She is the deuteragonist, following Chihiro as the protagonist. She is the daughter of Dan'ichirō Sanka and Aria Sanka. She currently resides in the Furuya Residence at the temple.
Appearance
Rea is a young girl who has long black hair, pale skin, and blue eyes. After her zombification her skin becomes almost entirely white and her eyes become a crimson red. She is described as 'beautiful' by her Father and boys in Shiyou Boys High School. Placed diagonally on her belly is the long scar that she received from the cliff-drop that killed her.
Personalty
Rea is quite friendly, especially to those at the shrine, but often suffers from indecision and hesitance to act in social situations due to her sheltered upbringing. She is shown to be extremely naive, needing more clarification to pick up on wordplay and some sensitive topics than most everyone else in the series. Overall, she is a gentle young girl who wishes only to live a normal life and be happy with her friends and family (though in the case of her family, that goal is portrayed as being much harder to achieve than she can handle, leading her to despair.)

Abilities
Rea's zombification stopped most of her body's vital organs, changing her skin color into a pale white. Her pupils are blood red instead of the deep blue they were when Rea was alive. Also, her body's physical limit was broken, granting her increased strength and endurance; due to this, Rea can easily down an opponent, lift objects about three times her weight, and shatter metal chains.
However, her body is still a corpse. To prolong the effects of the resurrection potion, Rea must occasionally consume hydrangea leaves, as the leaves' poison was used to resurrect her. Lastly, her nervous system has been shut down, making her mostly unable to feel temperature and pain. Strangely however, she cannot run faster because she still feels exhaustion, ironically she also can't sweat.

Background
Rea steals and drinks some of the zombie potion made by Chihiro in an attempt to commit suicide because of her closed-off and irregular life. However, she fails in the attempt but instead is resurrected as a zombie after accidentally falling to her death from a cliff.
She likes Chihiro very much, but feels that her presence is intruding or putting strain on Chihiro's and Ranko's relationship. She also seems to have a connection with Bābu, which Chihiro notes could be a telepathic communicative trait between zombies. She's also quite physically strong as her body is no longer restrained by her brain as a result of her death.
Rea is revealed to be a new, special case of zombification similar to that of Furuya's mother. Instead of losing her humanity, her love for certain things (such as Chihiro) turns the zombie's stereotypical hunger for flesh into a lust which causes a state of "Eater Confusion". After Rea tries to eat Furuya out of lust at festival, she runs away and is tracked down at the abandoned hotel when Furuya awakes two days later. She attempts to seal herself away in the well but Furuya drags her out, and she once again attempts to eat him due to the Eater Confusion status. With his dying words, Furuya confesses to Rea which returns her humanity in time for her to protect him from the collapsing roof.
