Stuff about Rena
For people who doesn't know her, Rena is Jason's girlfriend from his original run as Robin in the 80s. She was in like, 5 comics and they never mentioned her again. But some people on tumblr (aka, @the-jason-todd-impreganator ), have been talking about her and we have a small community of people who ship her with Jason (me included)
So this post is just to yap about her and my hcs about her as an adult + I'm counting her as a OC for the Jason Todd Bingo because we know basically nothing about her. Gonna post more about that one later but also I'm making a lot of the prompts based on Jayrena, so it's a good excuse to talk about her.
Finally getting to my HCs:
Her actual name is Renata Lazarou. I can't remember who talked about that last name first but it's a greek one making reference to the Lazarus Pit, which revived Jason just as she as his gf gives him a reason to live. Also I'm gonna make her actual name Renata and Rena is just a nickname. I commonly hate when people make character's name longer for no reason but idgaf. I'm making her argentinian too because I'm argentinian and her fanart is insanely similar to what I imagined myself as an adult when I was a kid.
It's canon that her family moves a lot because of her dad's job, so...
She has a sister some years older that moved with their grandma to have some stability on her last year of high school. Rena got the option to go with them but she said no. She wouldn't have moved to Gotham and known Jason if she said yes, but sometimes she just wants a place to actually call hers
Because of moving a lot since she can remember, she doesn't have a lot of near friends and loses contact with any she makes while living at some place, so she didn't knew what actual friendships were and was easily peer-presured
Gotham isn't the exception, they move to another city after that. And another and another and another.
But when Rena graduates, she quickly moves by herself to Gotham. She fels kinda guilty because she has a younger brother she will not see grow but also knows she's an adult and it's okay. After all, she fell in love with the city even before meeting Jason and she feels like a part of her was left there, a wound needs to heal because she couldn't process it properly as a teen.
Casually, Red Hood starts appearing in Gotham some weeks later.
Going back to her personality, she likes the 80s retro aesthetic. Big hair, colourful clothes and all of that.
Some fav shows/movies are the Back To The Future trilogy, The Nanny and Goncharov, probably more.
Really into cinema, wanted to be a director or just work in a movie in any way possible
Ends up becoming a journalist, talking about Gotham's social problematics and things like that (I don't about Gotham's journalism industry tbh)
She has the biggest rivalry with Bruce Wayne because he didn't told her what happened to Jason and she had to find out her boyfriend's death BY THE NEWS. So her notes always talk about Brucie Wayne in a not-so-positive light, to put it nicely.
She starts investigating Jason's death and discovers the family secret. Now she also hates Joker.
And then, a guy called in honor of the Joker becomes the boss of Crime Alley (Jason's origin place) by ways he would have probably hated.
So she makes her own suit with old batfam technology (don't ask how she got it) and becomes "The Wolf", an anti-hero who goes specifically agaisnt Red Hood. And as a threat, she sends him Joker's cutted head.
Red Hood finally pays attention to the new vigilante because she took revenge because she's becoming a big problem to his business.
Idk what else 2 write so I guess it's that. Ask me anything else u wanna know about her or smthing. I just think she's cool
