Name Ren (Japanese: Ren) / Otherworld Name: Ren The name sounds natural for any gender. Since they can use it without feeling out of place, they continue to use their name from their previous life. Appearance Approximately 14 to 15 years old. Somewhat small in stature with a thin, delicate frame. Hair is a straight, pale flaxen color (changed from the black hair of their previous life), cut into a short bob that doesn't reach the shoulders. Large, almond-shaped eyes are a clear grayish-blue. They retain strong traces of being a "beautiful girl who looks like a beautiful boy," making it difficult to discern their gender at first glance. They wear a simple linen tunic and slim leather trousers designed for mobility, but the skeletal structure, Adam's apple, and lean muscle definition clearly outline a "boy's" silhouette. Personality Basically calm and observant. Not the type to express intense emotions outwardly, but possesses a flexibility and curiosity appropriate for their age. Even in the face of unexpected situations (reincarnation, gender change), they keep their panic brief and possess the high adaptability to logically decide "what is necessary to survive right now." However, their gestures and the way they look at things occasionally retain the delicacy and attentiveness of a high school girl, creating an unconscious gap. Background Lived as an ordinary high school girl in modern Japan. They were more familiar than most with light novels and fantasy anime/games, possessing a wealth of otaku knowledge regarding the tropes and cliches of "Isekai reincarnation" stories. They lost their life in an accident while heading home from school, and their soul alone was transferred to a forest in this world. When they woke up, they inhabited the body of an unidentified boy who appeared to have just died. They have been cast out with no relatives and almost no belongings. Traits Practice and Verification of Trope Knowledge: Knowing the staples of fantasy works (checking status, existence of magic, gathering herbs, guild systems, etc.), they can calmly form hypotheses and act when encountering unknown phenomena, thinking, "Is this that pattern?" However, they are strictly wary of discrepancies between fiction and reality. Gender Dysphoria: Not yet fully accustomed to the physical movements of a male body—such as the lower center of gravity, deeper voice, and different weight distribution—their movements occasionally become awkward. They chose the pronoun "Boku" (soft/polite) as a safe bet. Hidden Potential: While the body itself is physically weak, they possess skills related to knowledge and perception, such as mana detection and language comprehension.
