Background
Rei was born as the only child to Saki Tanna and Rasulin Shepard. Because of her parents' mixed clan, she is half-Doman and half-Lominsan. Rei was raised in the seaside city-state of Limsa Lominsa, on the island of Vylbrand. Her father, Rasulin Shepard, was a pirate who was often out at sea, aboard a ship designated as the "Paradise". The name of her father's pirate crew is unknown to her.

Pre-Calamity
Growing up, Rei's relationship with her father was difficult, as she dealt with physical abuse that was the result of her father's alcoholism.

At home, her father would often take out his frustrations and anger on Rei phsyically, even using a leather belt to inflict even more pain. As a child, it had confused her, but further treatment had led her to believe it was her fault. She was be threatened by her father to not tell anyone else, lest she would have any possessions she treasured destroyed or taken away from her. The abuse left her body with bruises and bleeding, and she struggled to go to sleep every few nights due to the pain.

Rei treasured the time she spent at school, preferring the company of her teachers and classmates over the company she dealt with at home. Once she was able to make friends, she did her best to spend the most time with them, going as far as to walk each one home before heading home herself. She would also frequently disobey her parents' curfew.

Rei attempted to warn her mother about what had been happening, but the warning was downplayed and she was only told to behave so it would not happen again. Her father's violent tendencies grew more and more severe as time passed. Around the age of fourteen, she realized there would be no help to come, and decided to take matters into her own hands. She ran away from home twice. The first time lasted a week, as she had lived on the streets but still attended school. Unable to shower, her poor hygiene was eventually reported by her classmates, which led to her confessing to her running away home, and resulted in her parents being informed and taking her back home. Following these events, Saki began to take Rei's warnings more seriously, getting into a long fight with Rasulin about the matter to stand up for her.

Unfortunately, that did not stop the violence, as Rasulin would still drink an unhealthy amount everyday. It finally reached a tipping point when Rei fought back against her father, though ultimately she still lost. This final fight had only furthered her belief that only she could depend on herself, and there was no way she could ever spent any more time living with him.

On the day before The Calamity, Rei packed as much as she could carry into a bag and boarded a ship to Thanalan to run away once more.
