No more sleeping, need to help, then sleep more.

An accidental stowaway from the world of dreams, Rem has found himself stranded in the city that never sleeps. Driven by his curious nature, Rem and his helpful friends have been seen wandering across the five boroughs in search of a way back home.

So if you ever find yourself dozing off while taking the Blue line home from work, maybe you’ve just had an encounter with one of the Cursed Apple’s newest denizens.

Overview

Rem's motivation in the ritual is to find a way back to his home.[1][2]

Biography

Rem's exact species is unknown,[3][4] although he is called a familiar.[5]

Rem can see people's dreams when they're asleep. This allows him to learn information he wouldn't normally know, such as how to speak Ixian,[6] that Mo wants to audit a pottery class,[7][8] or Yamato's true name.[9]

Rem has a family who misses him.[10]

Rem brought his lucky pillow to the ritual.[11]

Personality

While his age is unknown, Rem is heavily implied to be a child,[12] exhibiting childlike characteristics.[13][14]

Information

Rem can't read.[15]

Rem molts.[16]

Rem has drifting star patterns in his plumage and inner ears.

Rem's name references Rapid Eye Movement, a unique and active phase of sleep in which most dreaming occurs.

Rem's hybrid anatomy of bird and mammal resembles that of a wingless Griffin or Keythong in ancient mythology. His pyjamas resemble popular depictions of the Sandman in Germanic and Scandinavian folklore.

Character Relationships

Haze and Rem are friends.[17][18][19] Haze promised to help Rem get home and dislikes him fighting in the ritual due to the dangers.[20][21]

Rem calls Haze his "mom".[22]

Rem sees Haze when he sleeps and claims that "she's him".[23][24]

Rem seems to have caused Haze some trouble prior to the ritual,[25] but how the two met and how they know each other is currently unknown.

Rem thinks Billy could "teach him all kinds of fun words",[26] but also thinks that he should wait until he's older to hang out with Billy.[27]

Character Interactions

  • SevenSeven warns Rem to stay away from anyone who mentions the OSIC, claiming that they won't help Rem get home.[34] Rem finds Seven scary.[35]
  • VenatorVenator promises to protect Rem and help him get home while they're on the same team.[36][37] If they're on opposing teams, however, Venator believes Rem's putting on a façade and calls him a "furry bastard".[38][39]
  • GravesGraves wishes she could make Rem a pet.[40]
