Reniseb

Renisenb is the main protagonist of the Agatha Christie's novel Death Comes As The End. She's the only daughter of the ka-priest called Imhotep.
==Biography==
After the death of her husband, she decides to return to her father Imhotep. Her family meets her at her father's house. She is also greeted by Hori, who warns her that there have been changes here. Renisenb does not understand what he wants to tell her. Later, Imhotep brings home a new concubine named Nofret and wants to marry her. Nofret herself immediately becomes the enemy of the whole family due to her terrible behavior. Yahmose's abusive wife Satipy expresses a desire to kill Nofret and persuades the rest of the family to do so. A little later, Renisenb meets Satipi near the tomb and draws attention to her strange behavior. Despite Satipy's attempts to take her home, Renisenb goes to see what scared Satipi so much and finds Nofret's corpse. Nofret is later buried, and although Imhotep is told that it was an accident, none of the family members believe it. Renisenb suspects his brother Sobek, who shortly before killed the snake. She also notices the strange behavior of Satipi (Satipy withdraws into herself, speaks in her sleep and is afraid of the name Nofret) and, at the request of Yahmose, decides to talk to her. Satipy herself does not comment on what is happening and she becomes hysterical. Yahmose comes to the noise and makes a remark to Satipi about her excessive noise, and Satipy apologizes to him, which surprises Renisenb (after all, Satipy had previously mocked Yahmose and made comments to him herself). Later, she sees Yahmose and Satipiy descending from the tomb and suddenly Satipiy falls to her death (just like Nofret). Before her death, she looked towards Yahmose and Renisenb asks Hori what she saw there. Hori replies, “Nothing for us.” Before her death, Satipy manages to say “Nofret”. After this, everyone decides that Satipy killed Nofret and Nofret’s ghost came after her. Later, someone poisons Yahmose and Sobek. Sobek dies. A slave boy serving Yahmose claims to have seen a woman who did something to the drink that Yahmose and Sobek were drinking. According to his description, this woman looks like Nofret. Later, the slave boy himself is found dead (he was poisoned with sleeping pills). Renisenb, Hori and Eza try to understand what is happening and come to the conclusion that anyone could have committed these atrocities. Ipy is later found drowned. Eza decides to marry Renisenb to Kameni, who reminds Renisenb of her late husband. Eza herself falls ill and soon dies (Hori claims that she realized who the killer was, and he killed her). After some time, Henet claims that Hori is waiting for Renisenb near the tomb, but Renisenb does not find him there and decides to return home. On the way, she passes exactly the place from which Nofret and Satipy fell (Renisenb herself had long wanted to do this) and hears footsteps. She is afraid that it is Nofret's ghost who has come to kill her too. Turning around, she sees Yahmose and wants to tell him about her fears, but from his facial expression, she understands that this is not a ghost, but Yahmose wants to kill her. Yahmose tries to kill Renisenb, but is killed by Hori. After this, Hori explains that it was Yahmose who killed Nofret, and not Satipi, as everyone believed (after which Yahmose enjoyed killing). Hori also explains that all family members have changed for the worse, and not just Yahmose (which Renisenb herself had already guessed). Renisenb wants to marry Hori.
==Personality==
Renisenb is one of the few family members who have retained at least some remnants of adequacy and sanity. She is almost the only one of the entire family who does not dare to enter into conflict with Nofret (although she does call her a bad woman) and subsequently is not afraid of the ghost (although she does not behave as recklessly as Ipy). She is not afraid to look her fear in the eye and calmly tries to walk along the place of the rock where Nofret and Satipy fell before. But even Renisenb can hardly be called sinless. In particular, she misses her long-dead husband, and although one can argue that this is natural, she still cannot come to terms with the loss. On the other hand, it doesn't look like she's letting her grief consume her. She also knows how to rebel against what she doesn’t like (rather than going with the flow, like before leaving with her husband). Also, unlike the other family members, she is kind-hearted. She shows concern to other family members and doesn't believe someone of them can be a murderer. She also never becomes as evil as Yahmose, for example. 
== Trivia ==
* She's somewhat similar to Bridget Conway from Murder Is Easy. Both previously had a beloved man who hurt him (Renisenb's husband died, Bridget's boyfriend left her for a rich woman). Both start dating someone else, but end up leaving him. Both live in a commune, where at some point murders begin to occur (by a strange coincidence, there are 7 murders in both of these novels). Both almost become victims of the killer themselves (who turns out to be the one who previously seemed the nicest), but they are saved by the guy whom they previously treated as a friend. Both then start dating this guy.
