[indent][color=seagreen][b][u]Appearance[/u][/b][/color]
Shorter than the village average at four foot three, it doesn't help that Ren's lean build only makes him seem even smaller than he already is. He also doesn't appear to be an outdoor type given his fair complexion, which makes him seem like a weak person in the eyes of his peers.

That aside, Ren looks nothing like his fraternal twin sister, Aoi. Rather, he's almost a splitting image of his father, Hideki -- especially the messy jet-black hair -- except the emerald green eyes he has inherited from his mother, Kazuha. Often seen in dark-colored garbs that reflect his mysterious, quiet nature, though some may say it's a way to keep himself out of sight -- and in turn, out of unnecessary troubles.

His short height and babyface would contribute to cases of gender crisis, causing him to be mistaken as a girl at times. Not helping when Kazuha used to doll him up in female clothes when the twins were much younger, and he actually looked [i]good[/i] in them. (Of course, when Hideki found that out, he's [i]completely unimpressed[/i] with his wife's antics.)

[color=seagreen][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/color]
When asked, most people would tell you that Ren is a stoic boy for his age, taking after his father beyond mere looks: down to earth and diligent in his studies and chores, wasting no breath to strive for the best he can do. Though, it's an amusing clash with another side of him: while he has no qualms to go beyond his current capability, he has no interest in competing with others, preferring to stay out of everyone's way -- most importantly, from trouble. He doesn't like to get involved in things he deemed as 'bothersome', even less when it's built on stupid impulses. It doesn't help to grow up with a hyperactive and possessive sister... and Ren hopes to get the little bit of peace he has yearned for when the twins are going to be sorted under different genin teams. His low tolerance for inconvenience also extends to his habit of calling people by names based on his first impression of them -- where he clearly doesn't bother with their real names at all unless he feels truly attached to them (which would probably take [i]years[/i] for him to acknowledge the person).

Ren often keeps to himself and thus giving off a secretive, mysterious aura. His mild-mannered and apathetic nature makes him appear much more mature than his own age, setting him aside from his more rowdy, outgoing peers. If one can break through the quiet, impassive mask, you'd be surprised at his sardonic side with a dry sense of humor. It's hard to get along with him at first due to his somewhat unsociable front -- he just takes longer than most others to warm up to someone. While he seems hesitant to take the first step to approach people, he has no qualms to observe them from a distance. His thirst for knowledge to satisfy his curiosity knows no bounds, though sometimes that makes him treat others as study subjects more than a person.

Ren is not someone who is void of emotions per se; rather, he's merely awkward when it comes to expressing himself to others. He puts logic before emotions, preferring to reason rationally instead of raising his voice to get his point across. He may come off as insensitive and blunt, but he's still has enough common sense to understand the warning signs and take a step back from the rising heat.

While Ren has a lot of self-discipline, he's ultimately still a human -- a [i]ten-year-old[/i] kid -- and there are things that can break his cool demeanor. For example, no matter how much he acts as if he doesn't like Aoi, he does care for her, and he [i]will[/i] fight to protect her. As much as he has a decently long fuse for bullshits, he still inherits the 'Haruno fire' that has kept their small clan alive all this while: his bad side is as frightening as his devious sister... Or even comparable to Kazuha, who's already well-known throughout the village with an equally terrifying title to match: the Demon-Strength Acupuncturist.

[color=seagreen][b][u]Personal History[/u][/b][/color]
One would expect that children born after the end of the Great Shinobi War would grow up peacefully in the new era, but that didn't extend to the individual problems within the four walls of the respective clans. Not even minor clans like the Haruno were spared -- especially through Ren's eyes.

For one, he was born as a fraternal twin to his childhood nightmare in the form of his younger sister, Aoi. He spent most of his time before his debut at the academy with her, even training hard together under their mother. The twins were quick to learn that Kazuha was no forgiving sensei, sparing to effort to impart the basic of the basics in the Haruno clan: chakra control. Unlike the more prestigious clans with natural-born talent in this (case in point, the Hyuga), to the Haruno it was a means for the family's survival in the village, given their unimpressive chakra pool and to condition themselves for dragged-out situations. Which was most of the time due to their genre of business: trading, from information to even secrets.

Ren had given up trying to escape from the clingy Aoi and simply concentrated on his training without a care for the world around him. By the time he was enrolled into the academy, he already had above-average chakra control for a kid of his age. Beneath his laid-back, disinterested facade, Ren was a closet hard worker, where his efforts were later paid off through his excellent academic results. Though, with his dislike for attention and would opt to erase his presence to avoid joining cliques, few were aware of his existence. Seeing his name near the top of the annual academy ranking list only raised questions among some of his peers: just who the hell's 'Haruno Ren'?

Of course, Ren wasn't completely invisible. Maybe it's too early to call them 'friends' right now, but at the very least he did made some acquaintances he could hold a conversation or two with. While he would be glad to be separated from Aoi once he's sorted to a genin team, there was another issue: he could no longer enjoy those days of solitude at his own pace, but he'd have to learn to work together with his new team -- whether he'd like them or not.[/indent]

Ren is an intelligent boy -- and wise beyond his young age -- but where will his smarts be of an asset in his road as a ninja of Konohagakure? His general dislike for dealing with conflicts and troublesome situations have propelled him to use his brain to find better solutions to get things done and over with quickly and efficiently. Rather than charging head-first into a fight or battle like most of his hot-blooded peers, he prefers to observe and analyze his surroundings first, sometimes also testing the capabilities of his opponents. Then, he'll formulate a plan in his mind before he finishes his enemies with quick strikes to their weak points. Though, if it's nothing serious or life-threatening, Ren is content to simply trick his opponent to give him an opening to escape from them and leave him in his own peace.

This trait is also extremely important to the next bit -- or else he'd end up killing his own people by mistake.

[color=seagreen][b][u]Ranged Specialist[/u][/b][/color]
It's to no one's surprise that Ren is a shinobi who aces the art of ranged battles. The following traits discussed below are key skills to his repertoire, enabling him to turn typical close-combat weaponry into maneuverable projectiles. It also works well with his fighting style and chakra nature, allowing him to perform stealth and sneak attacks with ease, and manipulating the speed and force of his projectiles with Wind Release jutsu.

[indent][color=seagreen][b][u]Refined Chakra Control[/u][/b][/color]
Under the strict tutelage of his mother, Kazuha, Ren counters the downside of his small chakra pool with extremely precise control, allowing him to perform jutsu with maximum efficiency and little to no wastage. It's possible that he's on par with those from the Hyuga clan, but it's difficult to determine given his secretive nature.

This trait also gives Ren an edge to resist against generic genjutsu, and to a lesser degree, a crude application of Chakra-Enhanced Strength (in which the latter is something Ren still can't control it well at his current age).

[color=seagreen][b][u]Chakra Flow / Chakra Thread Manipulation[/u][/b][/color]
While Ren may not have the same mastery in this compared to the aforementioned, you still won't want to underestimate him. For one, he can use wind jutsu to further sharpen the projectiles to increase their lethalness. This also forms the basis of other jutsu techniques he employs, which requires the use of Chakra Threads to manipulate the trajectory course of the thrown shuriken or kunai.

Besides using chakra threads to throw and control projectiles, he can use the threads as extended arms to grab any weapons around him -- or even off his opponents -- and maximize the arsenal of projectiles he can get his hands on. However, he still requires more training to be able to fully suppress the threads and make them completely invisible.

Alternatively, to conserve his chakra pool, he may opt to use the metal wires provided in standard ninja tool packs, but they are slower and less versatile in maneuverability compared to chakra threads.

[color=seagreen][b][u]Ninjutsu[/u][/b][/color]
A no-brainer to Ren that he has to excel in this to truly show the full potential of his fighting style and techniques. Although wind may not be the strongest nor fastest elemental nature, he spares no effort to master its use, combining with his outstanding chakra control for maximum utilization of what he's capable of.​[/indent][/indent]
