Ren, before her time began at Shokushu, was a bit of a drifter and wanderer. After completing her high school education at seventeen, she went on the road, traveling the United States on the back of an old motorcycle. She lived out of saddlebags and a backpack for almost two years, roaming all over the country, from Alaska to the Grand Canyon to the Florida Keys, and everywhere in between.
Her family is gone, dead in a car accident when she was sixteen. They were reasonably well off, and left Ren a modest inheritance - this fueled her existentialist road trip, and while she misses them, she's managed to move on in her life and is reasonably well-adjusted, if a bit restless and infected with a case of wanderlust. She grew up a lot in two years despite having no fixed address, and decided that college would provide a good opportunity for growth, and maybe a career at some point in the future. Shokushu offered a free ride and a chance to see somewhere new - it was an opportunity she jumped at.
Ren is a bit of a minimalist, after her life on the road. She doesn't own many things - a laptop, cell phone, mp3 player, a few changes of clothes, small amounts of gear for rock climbing and a few other hobbies, a few other useful things. She can basically pack up her life in a backpack and small suitcase, and go wherever she wants. She's an avid rock climber and athlete; a track runner, swimmer and gymnast in high school, and has stayed in phenomenal shape. She plays volleyball for fun on occasion as well.
Ren has a very interesting approach to life. After her parents died, she 'found herself' on the road and is perfectly content to enjoy life's experiences as they present themself. She has no ties to anyone, anything, or anywhere, and prefers it that way. She wants a degree in something that will let her travel to exotic places - she's seen the States, now she wants to see the world. She is a bit of a thrill-seeker by now as well; she loves her bike and misses it dearly, but has been skydiving multiple times, bungee jumped, had a brief stint with parkour, rode down river rapids, gone spelunking, run from police on more than one occasion...
Shokushu will be very interesting for the young adventurer.
I can basically have it so her gear mysteriously vanishes out of her luggage before she arrives, yeah?
It wouldn't have really been in her carryon stuff though, so it probably would have made it through bag check fine... just not shown up when she got there, mysteriously! Almost like people were going through her things...
