Ren Aharen

Ren Aharen is a side character in the Japanese romantic comedy anime and manga series Aharen is Indecipherable. He's the younger brother of the title character of the series, Reina Aharen, and the older brother of Eru Aharen. He admires Aharen greatly, to the extent that he usually chooses to dress like his big sister, even wearing her clothes sometimes. 
He's voiced by Misaki Kuno in the Japanese version of the anime and Brittney Karbowski in the English version of the anime. 
== Appearance ==
Ren Aharen looks very similar to his older sister, with long, flowing, silver hair that stretches nearly to his back, deep blue eyes, and pale skin. There are differences, however. He's obviously a little bit shorter, and is also usually seen wearing a turquoise sweat shirt, blue short shorts, and white and blue tennis shoes on his feet. 
== Personality ==
Ren is a playful boy who always likes to pretend to be Aharen. Sometimes, he loves wearing the clothes of Aharen.
== Trivia ==
* He is the second character to have a bandage in his left leg, the first one to have is Atsushi.
== Etymology ==
* His given name Ren is written in hiragana (れん) in Japan, while it is written in a kanji/hanzi form "蓮" in the Mainland China and Taiwan. The kanji "蓮" means "lotus".
* Aharen (阿波連) is a surname that is originated in Okinawa. It might be derived from the hamlet of Aharen (Google Maps), Tokashiki Island, Okinawa Prefecture. Many other characters from the Aharen-san manga and anime also have Okinawan surnames, e.g. Ōshiro (大城), Tōbaru (桃原), Miyahira (宮平), Tamanaha (玉那覇), and Henzan (平安山). It may be because Okinawa is the home of Asato Mizu, the author of the manga.
** "阿" (a) means "ridge of roofs" or "to flatter". It is also used as a prefix expressing familiarity or just to express the "a" sound.
** "波" (ha) means "wave".
** "連" (ren) means "to link/join". It is also used as a suffix that means "group/party/company".
** This kanji form (especially "阿波" part), however, might be an ateji, in which kanji are used just to express the sound.
