Rem/Relationships

Natsuki Subaru
When the two first met, their relationship was hostile as Rem could sense the scent of the Witch of Envy emanating off of him, causing her to be suspicious of him. This would lead her to take his life once, as well as directly attack him, cutting his leg off and brutally torturing him for information; an act that would spark fear in Subaru's heart. After she died from the curse that was originally meant for Subaru, he remembered the compassion she and her sister showed him while he was sleeping and resolved to save Rem. When he confirmed the source of the curse, he worked with Rem to protect the villagers and ended up saving her from the Demon Beasts at the cost of getting cursed again. This would lead her to attempt to destroy all the Demon Beasts at the cost of her own life until Subaru and Ram were able to return her to her sense before Roswaal's grand arrival who later took care of all the surrounding Demon Beasts, burning them to ash. Afterwards, he would convince her to let go of her past resentful feelings and look to the future.

After being rescued by Subaru, both physically and emotionally, Rem quickly develops strong romantic feelings for him. In her own words, he became a hero in her eyes, and feeling responsible for her importance to him, Rem took on the functions of moral support and combat protection for Subaru, such as when she restrained his despair and returned Subaru's faith in himself before the final battle of the 3rd Arc, arguing that "the person who saved her and who she loves cannot despair and give up."

Before the white whale battle, Rem also proposed to become Subaru's second wife and after the battle, she even went as far as to fake her death to force a confession out of him. Although Subaru told Felix that he wasn't in his right senses at that moment. Subaru also tells Rem that he will take her as his "second wife" only if Emilia agrees to it and Rem says she will try her best to persuade Lady Emilia.

After the defeat of the Hakugei, Rem's convoy was ambushed by the Sin Archbishops of Greed and Gluttony which resulted in Gluttony eating her name and memories, effectively erasing her existence from the world and everyone's memories, putting her into suspended animation. After learning of her bizarre and incurable condition, Subaru started blaming himself for what happened and even went as far as committing suicide and testing where the last "respawn point". After realizing how there's no way of saving her from the grasp of Gluttony's Authority, he vowed himself to defeat the Sin Archbishops and save her.

During the events of arc 4, the witch of lust "Carmilla" takes on Rem's appearance as Subaru still viewed Rem as his mental support after he was left devastated due to the second trial.

One of Subaru's main goals were to wake Rem from her slumber. Although during the events in Arc 5, he asked Julius to take care of the Sin Archbishop of Gluttony and prioritized his role as a knight to save Emilia from Greed's grasp.

Roughly two years after the incident in which Rem lost her memories and name, Subaru and his companions managed to defeat Lye Batenkaitos in the climax of the sixth arc which resulted in Rem awakening but suffering from a sort of amnesia as her memories have not returned and she's unable to remember Subaru.

Ram
Throughout their childhood, Ram had always been superior to her in every way. Growing up in her sister's shadow, Rem greatly admired her older sister, but also had some lingering resentment and feelings of self-inferiority. However, that resentment turned into guilt after Ram lost her horn. Even afterwards, Rem still believes that her sister is much greater than what she can ever achieve.

In general, Rem and Ram are as close as expected from the twins. For example, although they have quite different personalities, the sisters easily understand each other and even instinctively synchronize their thoughts or actions, if necessary. This is particularly noticeable on Rem's part, who has a platonic sister complex towards Ram and is even openly jealous of her to Subaru when she thinks they are in love with each other.

Roswaal L Mathers
Roswaal took Rem and Ram under his wing and is shown to deeply care for them, as seen when Rem died of unknown causes and he immediately suspected Subaru for her death (he was even prepared to kill him, much like Ram). Due to Lye Batenkaitos eating her name and memories and leaving her in a comatose state, Roswaal no longer remembers her, though he does allow Subaru to let her stay in the mansion.

Emilia
Rem submits to Emilia as one of the maids of the Roswaal manor, and always refers to Emilia with the prefix -sama. But Rem doesn't really like Emilia and even thinks of her as a "half-devil" behind her back at least during arc 2. They have rarely interacted with each other but Emilia has shown her caring nature for Rem by hugging her while they were drunk. Rem was also aware of the feelings that Subaru harbored for Emilia and even mentioned to Subaru about his date with Emilia in Memory Snow OVA. During the events of arc 3, she also denied to run away with Subaru when he was in a state of depression because she knew that the Subaru she knows wouldn't abandon Emilia.
