Ren is an outcast in family and has 2 half-brothers who are perfect and will run family business one day. Went to best conservative schools until she reached puberty then blue streaks started to appear in her hair and she could not get rid of them even when she dyed them.

Thoughts on Other Characters:

Conor: Charming as ever and definetly knows how to use his hands.

Elena: She seems like she is quite a firecracker. She might be a lot of fun; can’t wait to find out.

Jamie: He is more powerful than he lets on but he needs to learn how to relax and not be so uptight. Hmmm maybe I should teach him how to relax.

Matthew: He can’t resist a damsel in distress but then he has to start talking about his god, oh well at least he is helpful.

Uncle: Demanding, overprotective, all ways has to be right, and the only family that has cared about it me no matter what. I know he trusts my judgement and will never betray me.

Erica: She is a really gifted person; it is hard to believe she cannot see. She seems like she has been sheltered, and I feel it is my job to make sure she gets to enjoy all sorts of new experiences.
