## **Appearance**

Ren is a rather small male, being only 5'2' while other males tend be quite a bit taller. There are many females in his school that are even bigger then him, though with his feminine features such as his big blue eyes and eyelashes. He has white soft medium length hair and posses a slender build. His hair tends to be somewhat messy as treating it is a bit too much trouble then he's willing to put in. His silky smooth white skin that's almost milky in it's paleness draws the eyes easily, specially with the contrast to his eyes.

He possesses a rather two toned fur colour, one being white and the other being grey. This colours tend to bring out the soft features he possess quite easily and it makes him easy to spot in a crowd.He has dots splattered randomly on his body, even alongside his carefully maintained tail. He has two big ears standing out from his white furred head and 'hair' that twitch occasionally. At school, he will commonly wear the school uniform in a standard way, as adding too much to it would make him rather hot due to his fur.

## **Personality**

He is a polite young man who some tend to rely on when it comes to things. He's kind and tries to see the best in people, yet he's a bit shy around others and quite likes his alone time. He doesn't tend to be open about his emotions much, specially not past the surface level and he rarely shares his personal worries. He tends to be able to speak his mind around those he knows and reveal a different side to himself...but many see him as the polite, shy and kind Senpai that is one of the stars of the Drama Club. It's perhaps because of this that some people rely on him...or just the fact he has a hard time saying no to people.

## **Backstory**

Born and raised in [**REDACTED**], he's very much a local around here. He was born to the daughter of the man who owns one of the countries biggest Japanese traditional sweets company that's been in the family for generations and he's also the son of a self made man who rose from poverty to a position of power as a Prosecutor. A year after he was born, he had a younger brother in December.

He was never the most 'normal' child growing up. He wasn't interested in playing outside with other kids his age nor was he interested in studying. He much preferred watching Anime, reading or even watching TV dramas or films. He also gathered enjoyment from playing with his mom's old dolls rather then any masculine toys. His father was never really a fan of how his oldest son was turning out, constantly wanting him to study and whilst Ren always got good grades, it was never to the heights of his younger brother. As time went on, his father grew more and more upset at him whilst his mother tried to protect him more and more. Ren was used to hearing others get praised but not himself too much.

In Elementary School, Ren was picked to play the lead in a play by the 'luck' of the draw. It was a horrifying moment for him initially. He didn't like people staring at him much, his big blue eyes and cute looks always made sure he got enough attention anyway. He would rather try keeping his head down and read then interact with others. Now he was to play the lead in something that would force people to look at him. Yet, when he performed, he found himself enjoying it. It was more fun then expected...but what was even better was the applause. Even his parents and brother had showed up and his father was clapping alongside everyone else, seemingly proud.

It's perhaps because of this that he developed a keen interest in drama. In middle school, he quickly joined the drama club and despite initially being quite rough in his performances, he got better at an amazing speed, soon being chosen as the lead or in general major roles again and again. It did actually initially cause some issues in the club though, as he was just a talented freshman who was suddenly taking the leads from people in their final year. People even spread rumours it was simply because of his unique looks that he tended to get the leads. This caused him to not only feel guilt and shame, but alongside troubles happening at home, it was all compounding together. After a musical play though, he encountered the music club who seemed impressed by his voice.

While still keenly interested in Drama and sticking with it, he began to hang out with the group of oddballs in the music club who accepted him and denied the rumours about him. As they taught him how to play instruments, he eventually opened up to the guilt and shame he felt, stealing the show from those in their final year. They however helped him get over it, by just simply telling him that he was talented and worked hard and that if they wanted to get the lead or major roles, they just had to try harder. It was strangely so simple. Even though Ren still questions to this day if what he did was the right thing, he kept going forward anyway. I suppose it was no surprise that the thing that first let him discover his sexuality was a member of the music club.

They actually began dating, surprisingly. It was a relationship that lasted for quite awhile. However while Ren was able to move past his guilt..his home life had only gotten worse. His father's expectations of him, now that he was in middle school, were greater then ever. He wanted Ren to focus solely on studying and nothing else, like his brother. Even though it was his father's applause that really got him into performing, his father wanted him to drop all clubs and go to after school classes and such. His father was a firm believer that if you weren't smart, then you wouldn't survive in this world. Ren's mother wasn't a believer of this and did her best to support her son. When Ren's sexuality eventually leaked to his parents, his father was not amused and the arguments only got worse.

It is perhaps because of this that at the end of middle school and before high school started, his parents divorced. His younger brother went with his father and stayed in that house while he and his mother moved into his grandfather's traditional Japanese mansion, even though Ren hadn't had many encounters with the man at all growing up. It was a rough adjustment period and it only got worse when after Christmas, Ren received a single message from his boyfriend on his phone. Detailing that they should break up since they were going to different high schools. Ren however tends to blame more so the fact he was moody and ill mannered the past for months while dealing with his parents arguments and the upcoming divorce.

Now, in current day, he is a third year student at [**REDACTED**] High School who has somewhat moved on from it all. He doesn't like to talk about the divorce, his younger brother or his ex but he continues focusing on drama and making sure everyone believes the smile plastered on his face. He will occasionally hang out with the GSA club and his sexuality isn't a secret.

## **Misc.**

He is a fan created character for the Fanon and is not at all an official Love Letter Character. I'm sure many of you are confused on just how exactly a being such as him is here. I shall now explain. As mentioned above, in the world of Love Letter, he is seen as a human by all. He is by no means seen as an anime. However to us, the viewers from the outside, he clearly doesn't look human. This is simply an aesthetic choice. You yourselves can decide how you want to see him, either as a human or as a fluff ball. I leave it up to you, though his fuffy appearance is the one likely to be used to show off his outfit choices and images depicting him with others and the like.

In the LL universe, the fluffy version of himself is how he wants to view himself. He draws himself like this in his diary and doodles it from time to time when he's absentminded.
