Rank: ANBU
Appearance: Tall, long black hair tied into a bun or ponytail, and black eyes. Wears a gray, knee length kimono with long sleeves and thigh high black sandals. Under her kimono is a mix of black mesh and wraps. When in civilian garb, Ren carries a large fan with 4 purple cloud designs on it. When in Hunter-nin uniform, she has two small hand fans on her thighs.
Family: Ren’s father Saishū is a doctor, and her mother Tori is an interrogator. Ren had an older sister Ro who was killed during the Third Great Ninja War. The family is very close when behind closed doors, but understand how secretive each member must be due to their duties.
Occupation: Hunter-nin, ANBU Commander
Relationships: Ren is still friends with her old teammates, and she has a love hate relationship with Hidan and Kakuzu because she is constantly getting in the way of their bounty hunting, but gives Hidan a very good fight in the process. In truth, Ren's relationship with Hidan and Kakuzu are borderline treason, but she gets the job done so no one really looks that closely.
Personality: For a while, Ren presented herself as cold and serious, and that tends to be the case when speaking with those of high rank and outsiders. Her family and students, however, get to see the more laid back, joke cracking side of Ren. She has become quietly prideful of her abilities and will play with her food if she's able to. The longer the opponent fights, the more intel to get, after all.
Ren was born seven years before the start of the Naruto series to Yamatori Saishū and Tori. Her older sister Ro trained her to be a lethal ninja in order to survive Kirigakure’s graduation system. However, that became unnecessary when the process was retired thanks to the actions of Zabuza. Ren was too young to be involved in the Third Great Ninja War, but her sister lost her life in the fighting. Unknown to her at the time, her older sister had been Aka in the Genshoku Program. With her death, Ren was chosen to be the sucessor and was placed into the program.
Ren graduated from the academy and was put into Dōkutsu Kita’s, a skilled Genjustu user, team with Yuki Bachi, a staunchly loyal shinobi to Kirigakure and future head of the Hunter-nin, and Tone Asari, a generally stable shinobi who became a powerful and diverse beast summoner. The group had a rough start together but after finding themselves dealing with B and even A ranked missions, quickly became Chūnin. Ren had made it to the final match in the Third Exam, but was defeated by Uzumaki Taro from the Land of Rice Paddies. The group somehow stayed together after many years, with all three being part of the Genshoku Program.
While on several missions, Ren was forced to battle with Hidan and Kazuku. She could never defeat them permanently and they could never get close enough to take her down. So, Hidan, Kakazu, and Ren came to a truce. If they were hunting the same target, Hidan and Kakuzu would retrieve the bounty first and, once the money was counted, Ren would steal it back. It was a dangerous game, but they managed to hit the jackpot each time.She was upset at hearing that the two had been killed, and even more so that Kakazu was revived during the Fourth Great Shinobi War. Ren fought against the white Zetsu instead of fighting her old “friend”. After the war, she continued to be a Hunter-nin, only stepping back when her village needed another teacher for genin squads. So far, she's trained four of them, all slotted to join the Genshoku Program should they need to. After her fourth team became Chunin, Ren became the Anbu Commander under Chojuro.
Abilities: Ren has a wind chakra nature, making her an ideal fan user. With her large fan, she uses brash attacks that cover large distances. These are meant to cause as much damage as possible, whether to her enemies or to the surrounding landscape. With her small fans, she focuses on quick and precise attacks, only used while on Hunter-nin missions in order to bring down her targets as quickly and silently as possible. Ren can also create vacuums with her attacks, drawning all the air out of the spaces around her for her jutsus. This has allowed her to have an almost impenetrable shield against all Wind and Ice style attacks, with her vacuum removing the Wind Nature. Wind disappears and Ice is turned into harmless water.
She can summon peregrine falcons, either as scouts or messengers.
As a shinobi of Kirigakure and the Land of Water, Ren has trained in Water style, becoming quite proficient. This has allowed her to create a psuedo Ice Style, but could only do so with her fans. Upon training to learn Yang Release, she was finally able to produce Ice Release without aid.
Ren is well rounded enough as a member of the Anbu, but her Genjutsu abilities are exceeded by her Taijutsu, and her Ninjutsu is her strongest skill. Stealth, information gathering, tracking, and other such skills are at her forefront. Caught in a fight, she is much better at range than up close.
