Amanirena (Rena)

The mysterious cat...
Current year: 2023

Age: ???

Appearance: Three legs, half a tail gone, emaciated like he's never eaten in his life, an ear crushed into his head and one eye replaced by a thick scar...something happened to this cat, but he's not telling.

Background?
Rena was first seen by Kat and Mina when the trio first arrived in Portland. No one knows where he came from or how he got there. A stray cat might not be unusual in the outskirts of a deserted city, but Rena has displayed some out of the ordinary qualities since meeting the gang. There's the fact that he can in fact see Mina, that he seems to understand human speech, that he can communicate with Damien the same way the supernatural does and the ultimate surprise...he can phase out of reality and enter the same plane of existence as Mina, much to her delight. His name was also given to him by Mina, inspired by the celebrated Kushite queen from the first century who was blind in one eye.

It transpired to Mina that he was a familiar, but being a mute cat, she hasn't found out much else. Another recent developments suggests that Kat actually knows where Rena comes from, but in usual Kat fashion she's purporting a strategy of extreme denial.

Mina
From the moment she saw him, Mina pretty much adopted Rena as her own, but in many ways, Rena adopted Mina right back. Even though she's dead and technically safe from most dangers, Rena is fiercely protective of her to a point that's almost comical. And that extends to emotional hurt. If Kat says anything even mildly damning about Mina he lets her know what he thinks about it, which usually ends in scratches for both of them. The two are almost inseparable and they make a good team. Rena knows he can rely on Mina to pay attention to his signals in a way the others don't, and he's taught her quite a bit about ghost magic in return. At this point, Rena is maybe too attached to his ghost friend, but I'm sure that won't turn out to be a problem later. Why would it?
