Revy is a Chinese-American, slightly tan-skinned woman of moderate height in her mid to late twenties. Revy is a troubled, loud, rude, sarcastic, deadly, competitive, short-tempered, cynical, confident and considerably aggressive nihilist (a person who believes that life is meaningless and rejects all religious and moral principles) who also exhibits a wild temperament. One of the ways Revy's subconscious pain and emotional scars manifest themselves is her aversion to the empathy of others.
