Reila

Reila Audrey Haas is a major story character in Fear & Hunger 2: Termina. She is a mysterious girl in red shoes who takes part at the dream sequence that serves as introduction to the game.

Lore
Reila was raised in an overbearingly religious household. While her twin sister Olivia was often kept inside the house for being of a more fragile build, Reila herself preferred to go outside and make friends while also dedicating herself to studying engineering and new age technology.

During high school, Reila's sister suffered multiple small strokes in a short period of time and was left bedridden. Her parents immediately turned to religious healers in an attempt to bring her back to health, despite Reila's desperate pleas for them to seek moderns doctors instead. By the time she managed to convince them, it was far too late - her sister was diagnosed with an abnormality in her spinal cord that affected her blood flow. Even after going through extensive operations and several medical treatments, Olivia had become indefinitely wheelchair bound.

Later in life, Reila and her sister enrolled in the same university in Bremen - both relieved to finally be away from their parents' religious control. During her time in the university Reila excelled in her field and got to participate in an exchange program between the Bremen Empire and the Eastern Union, much to Olivia's jealousy. She was also involved romantically with a teacher during her academic years.

Reila would travel all over the world, keeping contact and telling Olivia about her work through letters, but one day the letters stopped coming in. Reila's parents got information that she was supposedly accused of treason against the Bremen Empire, being kept in an undisclosed Bremen prison. Eventually, a terrorist group called the Nameless Liberty Underground would break her free from said prison. The professor she was seeing over the years had been executed for the same reason of treason. He and Reila had kept it contact through letters, sent long after she graduated.

In the the last letter Olivia found from her sister Reila had, in cryptic writing, talked about 'a cube' and how 'the Eastern Union was desperately trying to replicate the cube'. Her last words voiced concern that the Kaiser of the Bremen Empire was after the 'operation in Prehevil' and how she still had time to act by heading there herself.

Encounter & sighting
Reila is encountered exclusively in flashbacks and premonitions while leaving traces of blue moth, although never long enough to be interacted with. The mystery of what happened to her is one of the core topics you can explore in the game. It will eventually lead you to her and with that the revelation that, after coming to Pehevil, Kaiser used her as vessel for the Machine God. During the events of the game she is still in a weak, early stage of her new godhood.

Trivia

 * Once the player witness the birth while playing as Olivia, despite Reila sharing the wisdom of the new god, she will encourage Olivia to join in by mentioning her name, giving possibility that she still remains some of her original memories intact after the rebirthing process.
 * Her birth date, age, full name and the name of her and Olivia's parents are revealed in the NLU Reconnaissance Report #2 document.
 * It is possible that the real author of the coded letters was written by Reila herself, thanks by the hint of the acronym's name know as "R".
 * Looking at the cube on Reila's chest, we see Vinushka's sigil with a line cutting it. This might mean that the Machine God took the place of the now dead Nature God, just as the God of Fear and Hunger took the place of the dead God of the Depths.MachineGodSecondPhase.png
