Rem

レム

Rem is the Shinigami who first gives Misa her Death Note and Shinigami eyes. Like Ryuk, Rem possesses two Death Notes; she intentionally gives a Death Note to Misa. Rem inherited her second Death Note from Jealous, another Shinigami who died when he saved Misa's life, and considered it only right to pass it on to Misa. Rem inherits Jealous' love for Misa as well and is quick to defend Misa even at the cost of her life. She demonstrates this when she openly expresses her lack of trust for Light, stating that if Misa dies before her time, Rem will kill Light. In the manga and anime, Rem tells Misa that she is actually a female Shinigami. In the second live-action film, this is not mentioned, leaving it ambiguous.
