You Gotta Fight a Hard Battle to Find Your Place in This Life. But, Once You do, It’s Yours.
"How Can You Be So Enthusiastic? About Everything??"
Ren Shenzi is a cynical and sarcastic young bean who is often mistaken for much older than he is due to his lack of sleep and constantly sour expression. He has quite the hardened outlook on life and tends to be very antisocial and aloof unless he is around people he is extremely comfortable with. He loves living in Thorn Burrow, which is perfectly closed-off and exclusionary like he is himself. He does not enjoy strangers and appreciates his neighbor’s disdain for them, though he has been the target of such disdain for most of his life due to not being biologically related to anyone in town. He was adopted into the community at a young age and, though most people treat him equally, there are definitely a few who view him as an outsider, despite having lived there his entire life. He became aware that he was different from a very young age and thus developed a very hard shell for criticism and hate, growing up to not care about what anyone ever says about him or his dubious origins.
The only people that Ren enjoys the company of are his parents, his sister, his mentor, and Bellamy. His social circle is very small and it’s not for lack of trying, he just often finds himself making social faux pas by accident and offending others with his bluntness, which makes said interactions uncomfortable for all involved. Ren is a very opinionated and loud lad, he always wants to make sure that his words are heard and his advice is heeded. Due to this, many people see him as a control freak. He can be controlling, sure, but he craves stability and order in his life, which he feels he can only obtain by advising others on how to do things “correctly”.
Ren often leaves Thorn Burrow with small groups to hunt. Thorn Burrow has very little livestock and thus depends on hunting deer and other small animals in the surrounding area to obtain their meat. He finds satisfaction in helping his community in some way and his small ventures give him time to be alone and at peace. The community finds respecting animals to be very important and honors and thanks each animal for giving them sustenance. Ren also works as a handyman/repairman, specifically on small tools and contraptions. He is very knowledgeable in welding, carpentry, and architecture, he’s aided in home repair and construction in the past but more so enjoys working with small, intricate
He loves reading, tinkering, and chilling quietly alone or with Bellamy. Due to how closed-off his town is, he knows little to nothing about the happenings and conflict in the rest of the world.

Extra Info
Childhood
Ren was raised in a very tight-knit and closed-off community called Thorn Burrow. From a young age he was taught everything about how to survive in the wilderness and how to respect nature, as the people of the community held their relationship with the world around them in very high regard. They called themselves the people of the God of Beasts and worshippers of the Deity of Woodlands. However, Ren was not born in Thorn Burrow and instead was found as a sprout and adopted into the community by his doting parents. Despite being considered an outsider by many of his neighbors, Ren did his best to uphold the generations old culture and long list of traditions that his community expected of him. Despite being close with his adoptive family, he quickly learned to be cautious of the other members of the community due to their hostility and suspicion. He grew to be weary of the disdain his community had for “outsiders” and very often tried to find ways to prove himself to his neighbors, to no avail. They never truly accepted him as one of them. His first non family friend ended up being Bellamy, a child similar in age who was constantly irritatingly positive and excitable. Thankfully, Bellamy never saw a reason to treat Ren differently and Ren begrudgingly befriended the other being, eventually began to adore him, despite their differences.
The bond of marriage and the connections forged through romantic love were extremely important to the community and held in immensely high regard. All young people were encouraged to find a spouse as soon as possible, someone to be their rock and their soft place to fall, it is their belief that all good things come forged from a partnership and that one person could not continue their traditions alone. Only by growing the community through marriage or birth could their culture carry on. However, despite growing up around a lot of monogamous, heteronormative romance propaganda, Ren was never faced with the same pressure as other youths. Since he was an outsider, there weren’t many dating option and his parents did not wish to pressure him into something potentially uncomfortable or harmful. However, his best friend Bellamy, who he had been secretly crushing on for years, approached him with a proposition and somehow convinced Ren to fake date him, in order to please Bellamy’s father who was pressuring Belamy into finding a partner. Which incidentally backfired because Bellamy’s dad did not like Ren even as a friend. However, Ren was secretly thrilled to be fake dating Bellamy, as he figured it was the closest he would ever get to real dating him.
Current Life
After fake dating for a year, Bellamy and Ren somehow ended up real dating. They haven’t told anyone that it was pretend at first. Mainly because it is none of anyone’s business but also because neither are sure that the lovey dovey mush they displayed was ever really an act in the first place.
Currently he is making plans to leave Thorn Burrow with Bellamy so they can explore the world together.

Design Notes
He is a celestial bagbean so ears and other species specific features must stay the same unless drawing a different form. Must be drawn with pink innards and pink eyes with black sclera. Hairstyle can be anything as long as the length is similar to what's on his ref. Must be wearing his scarf/hood but other accessories are optional.
Bellamy
[ Boyfriend ]
Despite being total opposites in personality, Bellamy and Ren have been thick as thieves since their childhood. Ren does a very good job at keeping Bellamy grounded, as Bellamy can be the more impulsive and hyper positive of the two, and Bellamy helps Ren see the brighter things in life, as Ren often dwells on the dark and dreary.
