overall appearance; Renata is a very pretty girl, who has a naturally lean body. She's 5'4", and weighs only about 100 lbs. She's very strong, despite her thinness. Ren has russet skin-which comes from being Native American, Indian, and Spanish, and long wavy brown hair which is highlighted with blonde and light brown. She has bright blue eyes, inherited from her father, and sweet, feminine features.
Renata has a very unique sense of style- it's a mix of bohemian, punk, and tomboy. She either wears skinny jeans or her beat-up cargo pants. Her shirts range from anything to baggy t-shirts from god-knows-where (usually band t-shirts or t-shirts from random places) to cute kind of hippie tops to punk sweaters and waffle shirts. She has a favorite over-sized sweatshirt which she loves dearly. Ren has certain accessories she is attached to. She has a fedora that her father got her from Germany that she loves and a hot pink ski cap. Renata has three pairs of shoes that she even owns- seriously. Only three. 1) A pair of red Chuck Taylors 2) a pair of beat up skater shoes and 3) her black strappy heels. Renata has several necklaces she wears on a daily basis, which include a ring on a chain, and a sea shell choker.

* DON'T DENY THAT SICK FEELING IN YOUR STOMACH
you can't run from it, let it guide you into high view and move beyond the summit

[/b] Stitcher
description; Ren doesn't have the best control of her "stitching" and often accidentally un-heals people, instead of healing them. Her power becomes weaker when she's under stress or is panicked. She also finds it helpful to absentmindedly hum to help her power. Ren's power first showed up when she was about 15.[/ul]

* BUT AFTER I SCRATCHED THE SURFACE
I never saw the calm before the storm act so nervous

[/b] hanging out with her friends, playing and listening to music, sports, pulling pranks, making people laugh, her family, junk food, making movies, talking, Shakespeare, swimming, running,
dislikes; Bullies, people talking about her or her friends behind her back, paying attention, having to act "girly", math, small spaces, being told what to do, cooking (she's wretched at it), singing in public, cars,
fears; small spaces, car crashes
habits/quirks; Ren plays with her hair when she talks, and when she's nervous, she fiddles with her necklaces.
strengths; Ren is physically strong and very fast, often faster than the boys. She is fiercely loyal, and also fiercely stubborn--both a strength and a weakness. She is very smart, though she rarely lets anyone she the intellectual side of her.
weaknesses;Ren's temper is definitely one of her weaknesses. She goes off at the littlest things, often resorting to violence. Ren can't resist passing up an opportunity to make some smart-ass comment or pull a prank, often resulting in her getting in trouble.
goals; master her power, not get caught by Division
secrets;
personality; Renata is a rebel, plain and simple. She acts very tough, but underneath it all, she's very insecure, quiet, and very loving. She's a tomboy, has a devil-may-care attitude, and will act bitchy no good reason. She's a complete smart-ass, and doesn't have too much respect for authority-- especially if it comes from Division. She's very sassy, and loves a good joke or prank.
Ren's got a dark side to her, though. Her past wasn't the best, and it's left her with baggage that she doesn't want to deal with. It has made her a more cynical person, and she sometimes won't open up to people. She's also more cautious about letting herself get too attached to anyone-- romantically or in any other way.
When she's not trying to put up a front, she is actually sweet and funny. She's very caring, with a protective streak. She hates to see people hurt, and always tries to help people with her Stitching. The nice side of Renata always puts others first, and is very sacrificing for those she trusts. She's incredibly loyal, and outgoing, and never keeps her opinions to herself.[/ul]

* I WATCH WHAT I SAY NOW, BUT I HATE IT
trying to make my mark, afraid of the dark nature of vague statements

mother; Kaja Rashard
siblings; Tristan Rashard
pet; n/a
other important people; Her ex-boyfriend, Jude Harrison, who passed away.
history; Renata was born in Kenton, Indiana, to Kaja Rashard and Michael Steifel- a young woman of Spanish-Native American descent, and a drifter born and bred in Germany. Her parents tried to stay together, but ended up splitting up when Ren was barely 2. Theirs had been a brief affair where the love was strong but personal differences were stronger. So, Kaja kept the children, Ren and her older brother Tristan (from a different relationship), and stayed in Kenton, rearing them on her own. Renata never knew much about her father, and only saw him when he visited yearly for her birthday. The family was poor, and lived on the slummy side of town, but they were close and happy.
Ren attended to local public school, and immediately fell in with a group of older boys that most adults would classify as trouble with a capital T. They were mostly Tris's friends, but they adopted Ren into their group. She always worked hard to keep up with them in whatever they were doing-- pranking someone, getting into trouble, even just running around-- so they wouldn't throw her out for being too young and too girly. All the boys liked her, but she became especially attached to Jude Harrison, and he to her. Soon they fell in love, and despite Tris hating the idea, began to date.
They seemed like the perfect couple, but they were not to be. After about a year of dating, Ren and Jude were coming home from date on a cold winters' night, snow blowing everywhere. They were blindsided, and swerved off the road into a tree. The crash was horrible, and though both of them were badly hurt, Ren could tell Jude wouldn't be able to make it without help. She tried to Stitch him, but because of her panic, she accidentally hurt him more, and he died. After that night, Ren retreated into herself much more, and became more dark and cynical. When she was 18, she left home, and with the money her dad had set aside for if she wanted to go to college, Ren started to travel the world, trying to forget.[/ul]

roleplay sample;

The tires of Jimmy the Jeep came to a stop right before the front end of the car smashed into a tree. "Huh," Ren muttered, cutting the engine and hopping out. "That wasn't here last time..." Or maybe it had been. Ren was too hyper to notice. Kareem would finally get to meet the boys, the boys would get to meet Kareem, and it would just be a big family reunion for Ren. They Forks Academy students had a long weekend, so Ren suggested to the gang that they all go down to First Beach for some fun with werewolves! They had all agreed, and amazingly, it had turned out to be an incredibly beautiful weekend-- sunny, warm, and perfect for swimming in the ocean. Ren had even brought a tent along. If anyone wanted to stay over night at the beach, she was ready.
"Okay, lovies!" She sang out, hopping out of the car. "We're here!" Ren was wearing a Beatles t-shirt and red short-shorts, with her yellow bikini underneath. Without waiting for any reply, Ren began to sprint for the water, stripping her regular clothes as she ran. She plunged into the waves with a shriek. She was home.
