HISTORY: It was twenty-three years ago when a kind Sylvan woman offered her body to help a cat couple have a child because the female could not have children because of a terrible wound she had suffered when she was younger. She carried the child and when she gave birth left leaving the half cat half sylvan with vibrant red hair and crystal blue eyes with them. They took care of and raised the girl naming her Katarena. Katarena was trained in the thieving arts by her parents who owned the thieves guild in their town and martial arts from her grand father, she grew skilled in each. When she was five she went out to rob a house but found the people to be kind and generous and when escaping fell from the roof hitting her head. Even though she robbed them they helped take care of her for the three days she was unconscious. When Katarena awoke she had changed some what she became uncommonly kind and giving insisting on being called Rena. She began only stealing from people she considered mean and cruel. She continued her training and eventually became adept at using her tail for various functions. By the time she was thirteen her parents had become concerned by her actions and finally confronted her. Rena's father had a temper and it got the best of him and said things he didn't mean. Rena ran away that night feeling as if she was no longer wanted and loved, thinking that she had brought shame to her family. A few weeks later Rena heard that her mother had died, she felt it was her fault and decided to get as far away from home as possible.

Two years later Rena stumbled upon a small town that slavers were taking all the females to be sold. The town helpless to stop them Rena decided to free them and lead the slavers away. Putting on her GI she raided their camp going unnoticed until she freed the girls. Once they were safe she let herself be known to the slavers to get them to go after her. They chased her down thinking she would lead them to the stolen slaves, she lead them to an area known for cut throat bandits and the slavers were killed. As Rena came to a another town there were rumors of a red haired cat girl who saved a town and was being called The Crimson Hope. One of the girls from the slave encampment had came to the town and recognized Rena calling her The Crimson Hope thanking her for saving the them. Rena couldn't believe it she had some how become a heroine. Rena moved on quickly not wanting the attention. As she went on she saved more slaves, stealing from the mean and cruel giving the money to those who needed it and moving on not taking thanks or anything in return. Because of the way she did things after helping people, always leaving alone never staying long she became known as The Lonely Flame as well.

One time when rescuing slaves from a keep after getting the slaves away she took to the wall to distract the guards. Rena did well to dodge most of the arrows but took one in the back causing her to stop they let loose a flurry of arrows when she did taking seven of them in the back then fallings into the river below. The arrows were coated with drow poison and would have died if the river didnt carry her down stream and put her ashore near a healers guild. She was found near death and the healers spent many hours trying to keep her alive, she recovered fully in four days thanking the healers. She moved on once again helping when she could. Rena had heard of a slavers guild that treated the slaves in such a manner that even a drow would cringe Rena set out to free them and did so but was caught. She was beaten, tortured and put up for auction. A woman learned of Rena and came to the auctions and offered all the money she had to buy the young cat. The woman was wealthy and the slavers were more than happy to sell her for the price offered. Her name was Kiyomi Kisagari a sylvan elf with vibrant red hair and crystal blue eyes. Rena was set free right after the auction, Rena was very thankful and decided to repay her. She had always thought she was a full cat never knowing that she was half sylvan or the fact that Kiyomi was her birth mother. Kiyomi and Rena traveled for a few years Rena doing as she had since leaving home and eventually taking a boat across an ocean.

In a new land Rena and with help from Kiyomi she learned the languages of the people every where they went. Rena had started up her stealing and freeing and at one point angered a slaver who put out a large bounty on Rena, she angered other people and they too set bounties. Fearing for Kiyomi she departed and went on her own. Two hunters became interested in Rena and followed her one of them Rena had fought several times but neither could defeat the other. Two years pass and Rena arrives at The Lonely Inn she met many people. Rena met a woman named K2 who Rena thought at first was a cruel person. K2 tricked Rena into coming over to talk, after a short conversation K2 subdued Rena and offered her to a half drow half human name Jester. Jester took her sexually as offered by K2. Afterwards Jester asked Rena to become her slave, Rena had fallen in love with Jester and said yes. Later Jester confessed her feeling for Rena and confessed hers but it was not to be, Rena had to go one night leaving for a month to save some one she knew. When she returned K2 confronted her and placed a Inn Collar on her claiming Rena as abandoned. Rena was heart broken and lost the happy energetic spirit. Rena was eventually bought by Ehlanna and treated kindly, but was still heart broken. One day she received a letter telling her that her father and grand father were dead, the letter also revealed the truth of her birth Rena grew only sadder at this. Rena eventually got over her losses and discovered others that loved and cared for her.
