personality: Ren is a bubbly, cheerful girl who likes other girls. However, her happy nature can be broken easily: loss of friends, abuse, or lying/gossip. She is very sensitive and breaks down in tears when she hears that others are talking about her. The first person she runs to is her friend. She thinks that talking to someone about her problems make her feel better. After getting over it, she never turns back to it. Going back to such things brings back the pain that was started on that day.

She shows affection by hugging, "glomping", tackling, or clinging to someone special. She also gives them titles: '-kun' or '-chan'. Ren can be very, very shy at times; she can lower her voice, and trip up on some of her words to bring out how shy she is. Usually, comments on how pretty she looks make her blush and shy away from people. She is only used to being called "Pretty" or "beautiful by her closest friends.

Ren rarely gets angry, except for when there is gossip and lies running about. The first step to approaching this is confronting the one spreading it in a non-violent way. She is very calm and sweet during this talk, but if the person she is talking to isn't as calm, then Ren has a reason to snap back at him/her. The highest level she can go is phsyically fighting them, but she will not stoop down to that level, where everyone is.

She believes that people should fight for a reason, such as revenge, family, friends, or their life, not because they want to see blood being spilled. Ren herself does not like to fight, but it is mandatory that she does, since she has someone in her life that she needs to protect. She also has to fight to avenge her mother's death, caused by her estranged father. But, other than those two reasons, Ren dislikes fighting of all kinds.

History: Ren grew up with an average family: a mother, father, and younger sibling. Her mother was chronically ill, and her father was an abusive drunk. Ren was always the target, untill Miu came into the family and soon after, her father disappeared by day, came back by night. Because of this, Ren had to take care of both her mother and baby sister. She was ten, when her gravely ill mother passed away; a good friend of her mother began a small funeral for her.

During the funeral, Ren kept a look out for her father, in case he showed up. Sadly, he didn't, He was said to be hanging around the bar, flirting with the women there. As she walked with her neighbor and toddler sister, Ren was told that mother did not pass away due to illness; someone had killed her while no one was around in the room she slept in. "Your father...maybe be behind it...", He told her while holding out the wakizashi used to kill Ren's mother. This angered Ren to the point where she wanted to kill her father. But, she knew how strong her father was, so she decided it was best not to go out and try to kill him right now.

News of Ren and Miu's mother's death spread from country to country, bringing bounty hunters from all over to Konohagakure in search of Takeshi. Ren met these men before they left to find Takeshi. She noticed that their reason for picking this kind of job was because evil needed to be taken down immediately whenever it came up.

When she was at school, Ren could barely participate in the things that the other shinobi-in-training students could do. But she managed to make a friend, named Kyomi. Kyomi was an attractive girl, according to Ren, and soon, all of the girls became attractive. To keep Kyomi as a friend, Ren kept this attraction to girls a secret.

Taking care of a 3 year old Miu, and supporting herself did not work out too well for Ren. So, until she was old enough, her neighbor was kind enough to take the young girls under his wing. She was able to do better in school, now that she had someone to support her. Whatever she had learned, Ren showed to her neighbor Hiroshi. He was impressed at how well she executed the new technique, and offered to help her with any other techniques that she struggled with.

Ren wanted to know other techniques, such as the Shunshin no Jutsu - Body Flicker Technique, used by the the fourth Hokage. Hiroshi didn't know how to do the Body Flicker Technique, but he suggested that she go to someone that knew how to do it, a teacher at the academy and his older sister. Ren followed his advice, and went to her teacher. "I want to learn the Body Flicker Technique!", she told her teacher, Yuuka. Yuuka was a beautiful, gentle-hearted yet strict jonin. Since she was always eager to learn something herself, Yuuka was obliged to teach her student the jutsu that the fourth Hokage used.

When the day came to pass the test in order to become a Genin, Ren was confident enough to make a clone out of herself, since that she had used the Cloning Technique to take care of her sibling Miu. Her spectors asked for one good clone, but instead they were given two. Ren had used a bit more chakra than needed. They said it was alright, and gave her a headband, a sign that she became a genin. Among the other new genin, Ren waited for her sister Miu and her foster parent Hiroshi. One by one, the parents left with their children, leaving 12-year old Ren alone, until Yuuka appeared. "What's wrong?" She asked her. "they're not here yet..." Ren answered. Then, Yuuka decided to treat her for her excellent achievement.

They arrived to Hiroshi's house, and found that Hiroshi was missing and Miu crying in the middle of the floor. "Hiroshi-sama ish gone...." Yuuka picked up a note saying that Hiroshi was sorry to leave like this, but there was something important he needed to tend to. "Looks like I'm looking after my brother...getting him out of trouble again..." She said the next day as she got ready to look for her brother, along with a few other jonin and a couple of ANBU. She told Ren and Miu to behave themselves, and be nice to each other. Now was the time that Ren really had to grow up. She couldn't play around as much as she wanted to, no that she was back to supporting herself and Miu.

Now, Ren was not going to be placed into a squad, a request of Yuuka before she had left. She asked the current Hokage that Ren should be tutored at home. Ren had already found a job at the library, so she was able to buy food and clothing whenever they needed them. Ren felt that she was mature enough to live on her own with her younger sibling, so the tutor left Ren and Miu to live on their own. Ren still talks to Kyomi, even to this day.
