Line 34:
Rena was born in Hinamizawa as Reina Ryuuguu. She lived in Hinamizawa with her family for several years. However, [[Rena's mother]] was offered a promotion that required the family to relocate to [[Wikipedia:Ibaraki Prefecture|Ibaraki]]. As a result of the move, [[Rena's father]] was forced to give up his job and largely became a homemaker. Rena often helped her father around the house with cooking and cleaning. As Rena's mother advanced in her career, she began to spend less and less time at home. Rena's mother eventually became romantically involved with a man named [[Akihito]] and began bringing Rena to office parties and similar events in an attempt to deepen their relationship while diminishing Rena's relationship with her father.
 
Eventually, Rena's mother became pregnant with Akihito's child and she revealed the affair to Rena and Rena's father. Rena's mother was intent on marrying Akihito and asked Rena to join their new family. Rena, seeing this as a grave betrayal, angrily rebuked her mother and repeatedly blamed herself for not seeing Akihito as a "bad person" earlier. She destroyed all of her mother's possessions and [[Hinamizawa Syndrome|began to cut herself in an attempt to rid herself of the "maggots" she imagined were writhing around in her blood]]. Rena became increasingly violent, culminating in an attack at her school wherein she destroyed the school's windows and beat three male students with a baseball bat. As a result of the incident, Rena was hospitalized and diagnosed with [[w:dysautonomia|dysautonomia]]. While in the hospital, Rena claimed that she was visited by [[Oyashiro]], who told her to return to Hinamizawa if she wanted to be safe. After her release, Rena and her father moved back to Hinamizawa. Upon their return, Rena decided to change her name. In the English translation, she decides to change her name from "Reina" to "Rena" by removing the "icky" parts of her life. "Icky" starts with "i", thus Rena removed the "i" from her name.
