Renee 🕯️👾

Forever homed. note to self : ask intheez.

Renee joined Andrew and Neil in their quest to protect the Enchanted Forest - a place for lost souls and monsters with kind hearts. She is the Guardian of the Seas and part time Sentinel with Neil. Where Neil is fast as a blazing fire around the Forest' borders, Renee surveys the woods from the sky with a watchful eye.

Renee says she's a bad person trying very hard to be a good person. Truth is she's a survivor who shrank on herself until she was powerful enough to kill her abuser and free herself at a young age. She never really got a chance until her adoptive mother found her and got her out of her violent and abusive gang. 

She turned to religion to help find a path and faith in herself. She fought hard to get a future and does her very best everyday. It takes strength and courage to maintain so much kindness.

When she meets Andrew, she sees right through him. She sees his abused soul and broken heart, she sees her child self in him. So she takes him under her wing and when he asks, teaches him how to fight with fists and knives. So he can feel safer. She gets it. She offers him her set of knives, a set she hoped she'd never have to use again. They have weekly sparring sessions that she cherishes and always wins.

When during a fancy banquet she catches Jean's eye, she immediately gets that same feeling. The feeling of someone who's deeply lost and alone against a monster bigger than them. So Renee makes it her duty to make the first step and give him her number. - to offer him an attentive ear, a helping hand and, when the time will come, an open door for Jean to flee.

Renee is the one who wrecks havoc at the Nest when one night, Jean calls her. He's broken, desperate and hopeless as Riko yet again broke him apart and almost slaughtered Astrid when she tried to protect Jean. As Astrid always does. Renee is the one who saves them and dismantles that awful sect/mafia gang that is the Nest. She becomes a terrifying, quiet anger when she is furious. 

Renee is a an absolute sweetheart even if she doesn't believe so. She does not really accept the violent acts she's had to do to survive, calling it a dark part of herself she'd rather forget. On her journey, she will learn how to embrace it and understand that it does not make her a bad person. She simply had no choice to protect herself and people she loved. Allison, her fancy, beautiful and extravagant girlfriend will help her remember that. She deserves peace and to be loved.
