A sophisticated and well versed mature lady, she is thoroughly observant in a calm and collected manner, but can also be flirtatious and happy go lucky. Very witty and her self reliance got her rich and well known within the underworld she knows how to stay humble though. Backstory: Ren was born a misbegotten baby in an ancient part of the forest in the Scar, her parents were a highborn sylven man and her mother was always a mystery. Renestrae Vesperr was born on a new moon night deep in the darkness of the ancient cherry tree forest with a gleam in her white round eyes and patch of white hair. Her mother, someone who her father would always mention when drunk on wine telling Ren that she had her mother's eyes and should be careful of it. Her father made sure she was brought back to the ancient castle he lived in since he loved the mother and told everyone her mother was from the Tundral, even though he knew she was a Gruskan. Ren was treated as an exceptional kid because of her pearl white eyes coupled with white hair the lords of the sylvens thought she was a special born bringing power and good fortune in her life. As a child she was treated to a harsh regiment of exercising and practicing to become the top assassin from an early age. Her Father was heavily involved with underground organizations in the surrounding areas, held a say in the sylven lords as well as a vice grip on the best retainer assassins. Since she was affluent her father put her through vigorous different teachings on assassin techniques drilled into her the four core principles, always taught her the pride of being the top in the reapers, the military force of the sylves. Formal etiquette, culture and arts, how to use money as power, Hunting with a bow and arrow, Medicine, Cooking, Martial Arts, dancing. The list was countless and the different private tutors were even more countless. Through her early years Ren was an explorer and creative with a high affinity for magic teaching herself on tomes she read, exploring the library, or even on exploration trips she did with her father finding all sorts of magical items on these trips, she then made smart investments in the sale of magical items and let her money multiply as she started to grow her connections with the black market using her father’s influence, the trade off however for doing everything she wanted to do with her father’s power there was an agreement with her pops that when she turned 18 she would do what her father required her to do. When Ren was 18 that year a lot of things happened, Not only did she join the Retainer Assassins group in a special unit organised of special operatives working directly under Ren’s father she joined her brothers and sisters to take up arms against war or any possible threat to the village in the reapers, taking out other petty criminals and her skills in combat helped her become exceptional in skirmishes for the reapers. She dived into the jobs the Reapers needed her to do quickly, gaining momentum within the ranks. She was different amongst the reapers, She had been gifted in shadow magic rather than wind. So others quickly took note of that. As she gained more experience Seiryu took note that he could use Ren for jobs that the Dark Arts were to be utilized. She engrossed herself becoming a very notable reaper amongst the ranks as well as learning to compartmentalize her memories and tasks. She always heard stories of the Yasamura family. The strong leader of the reapers, Seiryu, his younger sister who disappeared and left the reapers, Suzune, and the youngest who was a bit older than Ren, Akarui. People always talked about how they were beyond exceptional and Ren only tried to live up to that standard. After a while Ren even had the pleasure of doing a few missions with Akarui; one was a search and destroy mission that went extraordinarily well in the lower levels of the Scar. He even gave her a tip that stuck with her for the rest of her life, Keep your head on a swivel. Another person Ren would develop a striking relationship was with Tsukihana since both the only half born sylves in the reapers they connected. Ren wasn't happy with how Tsukihana was treated, It made her feel uneasy because in all honesty Ren deserved the same treatment, but she was treated as a prodigy child. Ren would confide in Tsukihana at times ranting about problems in passing conversation. Ren felt connected to her even though she knew Tsukihana was a bit sore on the difference in treatment. Things went smoothly, Ren frequented missions and sometimes would bump into Akarui and Tsukihana during them. Things went well and they got along quite well when they ended up together, forming a bond with them. Ren would even rise in rank after a while as she was gifted and very adept at going above and beyond. Suddenly a year later, Ren’s father got terribly ill to the point of needing to step down in his position of power, and Ren had to assume his position. Ren used everything her father had taught her as tools to complete a mission in all sorts of manners. She was taught all those things in the past so her father could create a well versed assassin. She took on various roles for the Shogun, it was endless and consumed her time completely enacting various different roles like a musician or dancer to complete her mission. Her Father used her like a tool or weapon to increase the noble family’s prestige. After fighting with illness for 12 long years her father passed away with a slow degrading death, On his deathbed, he told her of her original gruskan ancestry and who her mother really was and to go out and explore her heritage. He saw the rise of the monster he created boasting 100% mission completion rate, the one of the richest sales women of magical items, and an impressive tome and relic collection as well. Ren even created a new business called Vesperr’s Tomes and Magical Items., They create copies of texts found on her trips with her dad and her dad’s massive collection in his library and such and sell it in stores! It was also the day Ren turned 31 since she has established herself now in the Scar and Underworld. She set out to expand her business leaving on sometimes long journeys across the planet gaining information along the way of course of gruskan lore but really to complete high stakes kills for the reapers. She created an ability to store her magical item store within a magical item to take with her wherever she went. After returning from one of these long journeys. Akarui, now the red messenger, had approached her at the orders of the Shogun. There was a rebellion group in the Scar defying the Shogun and she was to lead a mission to completely exterminate them. Akarui had said the rebellion may be quite sizable so take at least 4 others. Gearing up and getting to work you pick 2 rookies as well as 2 other reapers that needed something to do, they were quite skilled at the whole mass slaughter side of things. After gathering information the team went to go hunt and kill them all. Arriving there were 10 men and women outside guarding the perimeter upon silently taking them out you hear voices coming from within the building. There were no way to peer inside except for the backdoor entrance, looking in there were more men and women in a kitchen looking area. Rushing in Ren and the reapers slew them all, some surprised started reaching for their weapons but none were prepared except for 5 of them. The leader of the rebels jumped forward with his sword striking down one of the veteran reapers who had just saved one of the rookies. Ren came from behind using her scythe she struck down in a swift slice, cutting off the leaders head. No one else came through the passage way but Ren had heard faint whispers. Moving down she came into a larger front room all children 15 or younger cowering and hugging each other. It was a whole bunch of them 30 in total. Ren’s heart dropped in no way could these children also be the rebels. The veteran spoke up saying we must honor the Shogun's orders. The Shogun’s orders were wrong, to massacre children in cold blood was no way things should work. Ren spoke up saying how the children couldn't have been involved. An argument ensued. After some debate one of the rookies flinched and was about to move, the desire to kill filled the room. Swiftly and with surprise Ren took out her fellow comrades killing all the rest of them. The rookies were easy, however the remaining veteran proved a slightly more challenging task. He had a disadvantage although good at mass slaughter he was bad at one on ones. Saving the children no greater than 15, Ren used her Invisibility and disappeared. For 4 years Ren had been on the run. She knew she had to keep moving since over the past 4 years there had been 2 failed attempts on her life by reapers. Ending up at Kalla she set up shop to advertise her items and on the lowkey assassinations, while gathering intelligence on gruskan heritage.
