***Reanne Leana Kuno*** is one of the main protagonists in The Cowie Series. She is 23 years old at the start of 3 Years at Home Series and The World We Live In. While in Where Forever Began, she is a little bit older, having just turned 30 at the beginning of the story. In Cowie, she is the doctor-in-charge as well as the only doctor residing on the island, running the only clinic there.

## Appearance

Being the only person on the whole island who wears glasses, she is pretty easily recognisable. She has straight ash brown hair, which goes slightly past her shoulder. When she’s working, she would tie her hair into a low ponytail. As she rarely goes outside, people usually see her in her physician attire: scrubs and white coat, paired with crocs. When making rounds in the village, she prefers to wear a simple collared shirt (sometimes with sweater if the weather is cold) and long pants with a pair of sneakers for comfort and mobility. During the summer, she also enjoys wearing simple dresses and skirts.

She’s always seen wearing a silver-colored watch, although the way she wears it is deemed odd by many people as she always wears her watch inside her wrist. Her style was described by Kaoru as plain and boring.

## Early Life

Reanne was born in an unnamed city on the mainland before moving to Molecule for her studies. Her background slightly differs in each universe she’s in, but the fundament is the same: she was born as the eldest child of Hao and Áine Kuno. She has a sister, who is eight years younger than her, Rebecca. She grew up in a fairly normal family without much family dramas and conflict, but she had once described her family as “not the warmest”. Somewhere in the story, she moved temporarily to Cowie Island with some other people, where she met the people who changed her life.

### 3 Years at Home Series

*Main article: 3 Years at Home Series*

This series took place when she was still a student at the Molecule University. In her final year, she and all of the students, who were ready to graduate, were given a task to help to develop rural areas as one of their graduation recruitments. Her group, which was led by Kyo, was assigned to help Cowie Island for 3 years.

#### Year 1

Despite her status as a biochemistry student, Reanne was assigned to be a doctor on the island. Having no other choices, she tries her best to do the job well. Unwittingly, one of her group members, Olivier, has a pretty weak physique. With the help of Kaoru, and other people, she tries to keep Olivier healthy and well, which is not an easy task as Oliviers condition easily affected by stress caused by all the dramas orchestrated by Mawar, who seems to have a strong dislike toward Olivier since day one.

#### Year 2

Thanks to Mr. Charlonzi, Reanne and others had to escape the island for their own safety. Being away from Cowie doesn’t mean that she’s freed from her responsibility. With Jin’s help, Reanne opened a clinic in Burningshield to help the people over there.

#### Year 3

Her last year in Cowie couldn’t be more eventful. The year started with a drama involving Luna and Lance. Before they could even relax after the drama with Lance was solved, they had to go back to the mainland to help Yummi and Cole. Never did she expect that the trip to the mainland to help Cole will end with a problem involving the government and Aikawa Corp.

## Personality

Reanne is pretty reserved, rarely initiates a conversation with someone new or approaches strangers, except for the rare occasions where she feels intrigued by the person. Only when she warmed up with someone to certain degree, she would start to be more active in the conversations. She’s regarded by her peers as a good listener, a trait which attracted many people to come to her and share their problems with her. Reanne herself seems to not fully understand why people would just tell her private stuffs when they aren’t that close yet. She described her social circle as tiny in comparison to that of Kaoru’s, and according to herself, without Ludwig and Kaoru, she would become a social hermit. She has showed a strong loyalty toward those people she loves, for example during the incident where Mawar tried to steal Olivier’s book. She would also often go out of her comfort zone just to make them happy. Generally, she’s a calm person. Cole once mentioned that being around her is relaxing, comparing her to grandma Helene. Curious by nature, she often finds herself asking ‘why’, and trying to find meanings and reasons behind many things.

In Where Forever Began, she was shown to be driven by a strong sense of purpose, rejecting several job offers on the mainland and chose to volunteer in Cowie instead because she felt that it’s where her heart was. Although she doesn’t enjoy it, she does have an innate talent for leadership, shown by how people instinctively went to her when Kyo was absent. Instead of being a leader, she prefers to work behind the screen and observe. She also has a pretty good knack at reading people around her, something she admittedly occasionally enjoys to do. A few times, she used it to help her friends, for example when she tried to help Lance. This ‘talent’ of hers also has a downside, because once she feels that someone is faking their friendliness, she would immediately put her walls up, and basically distancing herself from that person for the unforeseeable future. And since she’s bad at hiding her emotions, she finds it really hard to be friendly toward those people she already ‘blacklisted’.

Reanne sees the world as grey. In her words: *“nothing is ever truly black or white”*. This way of seeing makes her often takes a neutral stance in many situations, as she’s able to see many sides of a story. She also strongly believes that people need some degree of darkness to be able to feel happiness. She rarely focuses on the past, only sees it as an experience she can learn from. *“I wouldn’t change the past, even if I were given the chance to. Without all the hardships I have endured, I wouldn’t be here. My past wasn’t beautiful, but I’ve learned a lot from it.”*

One of her bad traits is ‘conflict-avoidant’. Most of the times, she would prefer to step back if she senses that the situation would result in a conflict—something that has brought her more problems than she would like to admit. Her father described her as timid and not assertive, something he sees as negative and needs to be changed. But Reanne herself can’t understand what’s wrong with it as, in her defence, she only wants to keep the peace. Besides that, she is said to have a pretty low sense of identity. She rarely knows what she truly wants and feels, and tends to suit herself to the needs and moods of people around her. It was mentioned several times that her emotions are easily influenced by her surroundings. A few times she cried because she witnessed a touching moment, or because she got overwhelmed by the sad atmosphere around her—something Ludwig couldn’t understand. She also has this tendency to withdraw from the outer world when she’s deep in thought, busy analysing and overthinking things. Reanne has never told anyone about this, but she’s disturbed by the feeling of being vulnerable. She prides herself on being self-sufficient, so she struggled when she found herself in a position of helplessness. This might be because she’s used to fill the caregiver role in the group, and thus it feels wrong to have the role inverted.

Kaoru was once shown to complain about how inflexible Reanne is, pointing Reanne’s dislike for spontaneous stuffs.

## Relationships

**Olivier Amarantheace** - Olivier is the first person Reanne was drawn to the moment they reached Cowie. Reanne herself said that Olivier had this weird unexplainable thing that could make her approach Olivier easily, despite Reanne’s withdrawn nature. They quickly clicked and became friends. Although Olivier is older than her, because of her small figure, Reanne often treats her like a little sister. There was a time where they had a deep talk, and Reanne was reminded of Olivier’s age. As both of them are homebodies, they don’t see each other that often—only for the times Olivier goes down to the village for a checkup in the clinic and to do her other businesses, or when Reanne herself goes up to the mountains. Nonetheless, Reanne stated that Olivier is the person who understands her the best, and she feels safe to say anything to her, even the things many people would deem absurd. Reanne has a strong desire to keep Olivier healthy. She was once shown trying to figure out a new method to treat Olivier. In My Mom is Selfish it was shown that they stayed friends even after having their own families.

**Ludwig Pummel** - Her relationship with him started off really slow. Although Ludwig did show an interest in getting know her better, she found his moves too rash, which made her pulled herself away a little. Thanks to Ludwig’s persistence, she slowly opened up, and he became one of her closest friends in Cowie. Spending a lot of time with Ludwig helps her to not stay in her own little world too often, as Ludwig often invites her to go outside. She also learned to be less inflexible about spontaneous things, thanks to Ludwig’s tendency to change his ‘plans’ every so often. After months of knowing him, she started to feel comfortable around him, and eventually developed a romantic feeling toward him, although she herself didn’t realise it immediately. In Where Forever Began, Ludwig confessed his feelings after the Cowmas party, and she finally confessed back during the New Year’s Eve celebration. In 3 Years at Home Series, their relationship took an even longer time to develop. Skipping the dating stage, Ludwig was seen proposing to her with a simple white gold ring on her last day staying in Cowie. They lived as a married couple with two kids—Keith and Kenna in My Mom is Selfish.

**Kaoru Tomoka** - Kaoru came to Cowie with the purpose to assist Reanne running the clinic, assigned as a nurse there. Despite their differences in personality, they get along pretty well. Just like Ludwig, Kaoru fills the role as someone who keeps Reanne away from self-isolation. She also helps Reanne to keep grounded in reality and not get lost in her inner world. Reanne thinks highly of Kaoru as her co-worker, noting that her workload had become lighter since Kaoru’s arrival. Once in a while, they do face some conflicts as both of them could be quite stubborn, but the conflicts are usually quickly solved.

**Yummi Verveer** - Reanne admitted that she wouldn’t have gotten close to Yummi if it weren’t for Ludwig’s closeness with Cole. Ludwig frequently brought Reanne along when visiting Cole or spending time with him outdoors. Yummi, being in a relationship with Cole, naturally joined these small gatherings, providing the opportunity for them to connect. Unlike herself, Yummi often knows what she wants and what she stands for. Yummi became sort of a guide for Reanne, teaching her the importance of following her heart. In Where Forever Began, Yummi was shown helping Reanne to sort her feelings when she was reluctant in accepting Ludwig’s feelings. Their relationship wasn’t really developed in 3 Years at Home Series, having almost no interactions with each other throughout the three years.
