Zoe Drake's older sister from Dinosaur King.

Reese Drake (Tatsuno Riasu or Liz) is a scientist, dinosaur expert, Zoe Drake's older sister, the owner of the D-Lab, the creator of the original Dino Holder, and a certified pilot. She is voiced by Eri Komiyama in the Japanese version, and Rachael Lillis in the English dub.

Her Japanese family name, Tatsuno (竜野), contains the words for dragon (竜 tatsu) and field (野 no). It is also the name of a train station, and her given name, Riasu (リアス), is the name of a train line.

Her English family name, Drake, is an allusion to the first kanji of her Japanese family name, as drakes are another name for dragons. Her first name is a masculine, Anglicized form of the name Rhys, meaning "enthusiastic," but it was most likely chosen for its phonetic similarity to the Japanese name. (While the name is masculine in origin, it has also been used for women; actress Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon is most commonly known as just Reese Witherspoon.)

Her Taiwanese name, Liz, is also similar in pronunciation to her Japanese name, being an alternate take.

**TRIVIA**

• Reese has a pilot's license.

• She resembles Catherine Elle Armstrong from Full Metal Alchemist. Reese has a crazy amount of strength, as she can easily restrain Dr. Taylor[1]. In turn, Catherine can lift a piano with her bare hands, as shown in the 2003 Full Metal Alchemist anime.

• In the Taiwanese version of the arcade game, Reese's name is Liz (莉絲).

• According to the 4komas, Reese loves cake.[2]

• The Japanese dub of episode 2 says that Reese has never had a boyfriend.
