Rena Ryuuguu: Difference between revisions

In contrast with her typically sweet nature, Rena becomes frightening and hostile when angered. Situations that can trigger this anger are be the topic of [[Oyashiro]] and lying. The phrase {{nihongo|Uso da!|嘘だ！|That's a lie!}} has become associated with Rena's character due to how she reacts when she knows she's being lied to. Mion describes Rena as being hostile towards people who make light of or express disbelief in [[the curse of Oyashiro]]. This attitude is due to her experience with it and her assumption that Oyashiro physically exists. On the other hand, she, like [[Rika Furude|Rika]], often empathizes with and can identify people who are afflicted with advanced symptoms of [[Hinamizawa Syndrome]]. It is implied that she feels guilty for not listening to Satoshi's problems before he disappeared.

 

 

In addition, Rena possesses a comic relief persona which is instigated when she is embarrassed or when she finds something cute. Once she enters this mode, Rena's senses are heightened to an extreme extent, making her inhumanly agile and vigorous. This causes frequent trouble for many of the club members, who have to expend all of their energy to barely control her; Keiichi and Mion have been knocked out cold a large number of times by Rena's flurries of punches, while Rika and Satoko have often been kidnapped (especially when they were wearing club punishment outfits). Satoko and Rika have learned to use this persona switch to their advantages—by either crying to her or posing in an adorable fashion, they can manipulate whom Rena knocks out opponents or how Rena can support them, thus giving them a huge advantage in eliminating competition easily in club games.
