Biography/Personality:

Rena is a very nice person at heart, but most people think she's a stuck up brat.  She tends to flaunt her skating, and generally live up to her reputation.  Her parents weren't very involved with her life, so she's bitter about a lot of thins, and covers it up by having a bad attitude.  Rena doesn't let people get close to her, and stays away from relationships. She's really just afraid of getting hurt again.

Other Noteworthy News/Facts:

Rena's mother, Gloria, and older sister, Claudia were in a car wreck when Rena was ten years old.  Claudia was killed, and Gloria was paralyzed from her waist down.  Rena's father, devoted his life to her mother, and neither of them pays attention to Rena.  She was sent to live with her aunt and uncle who already had three kids.  Last year, her parents gave legal custody of Rena over to them.  They did however, continue to pay for her skating.  Rena has always been bitter toward her parents for neglecting her, and as a result, Rena has never been able to cope with her sisters death.  She keeps all of her emotion bottled up, and one of these days, she's going to explode.
