Bio: Ren is the daughter of Professor Birch. She is native to the Hoenn region, which is where her Pokémon adventure technically started, as evidenced by her Blaziken and Mightyena. She received her first Pokémon, Torchic, at the age of 10 from her father. Following a tumultuous divorce, Ren's mother moved to Paldea when Ren was a little girl, taking the little girl along with her.

Ren is very sensitive about her childhood before coming to Paldea, and doesn't like to talk about it. If asked about it, she'll opt to redirect the conversation elsewhere.

She's best friends and rivals with her childhood friend, Nemona. Having grown up in Cabo Poco together, the pair are very close. Kieran, one of her friends from Blueberry Academy, has been vying for the title of rival (to which Ren lovingly teases him for) since she transferred. She also has a teeny tiny crush on Arven - don't tell anyone!

After defeating the Elite Four and becoming Champion, Ren set a new goal for herself - to complete as many Pokédexes as she can. As such, the girl spends most of her time traveling across the world, making new friends - Pokémon and human alike - as she goes.
