Rem Saverem

Although she only had one episode dedicated to her, Rem Saverem is probably the most important character in the whole show. If it hadn't been for her, mankind would not exist upon that planet. They would've burned up in the atmosphere, and all that would have survived would have been Vash and Knives. Of course she's also the person responisble for protecting young Vash and Knives from the frightened Seed crew.

Rem was kind and gentle-hearted. She took care of Vash and Knives while they were aboard the Seed ship. She taught them about Earth, and most importantly, life. Vash hung on every word out of her mouth, but Knives eventually stopped listening and began to think for himself. She was killed trying to save mankind from crashing on the desert planet. However, she lived on in Vash's heart and actions.

Rem was also the one who gave Vash his cool do. She states in the show that it was the hair cut of a man she once loved and lost, probably while they were building the Seed ships. Along with the hair-do, she is the inspiration for Vash's red coat. Her favorite flower was the red geranium, because it's meaning (in Japanese I think, I'm not really sure how they get the flower meanings.) is 'determination'.
