rena ryuugu

Whilst on the surface, she adopts a naive, cheerful, and innocent persona, Rena is perceptive, strong-willed, and reacts strongly to being lied to. In some arcs, her traumatic background and staunch belief in the curse of Lord Oyashiro culminate in her committing violent crimes. Rena is a typically inadequate and shy girl. She often talks mainly with Keiichi and Mion. Despite this, she will break from her usual shyness whenever she sees something cute, little, or beautiful, shouting "Kaiiii" (Short for the Japanese word, Kawaii, meaning "cute"). Her penalty games often involve forcing the losers to do something adorable while still demeaning.

However, like most Higurashi characters, this is usually only her character on the surface. Whenever faced with a personal subject or a memory of her past, she will instantly switch to a very blunt, mysterious, straightforward, and even intimidating personality. She is able to form detailed and eerily accurate hypotheses of crime scenes based on the evidence she observes. She can spot lies very easily, and doesn't appreciate it when people do this. She will often yell ("You're Lying!") out of nowhere in a very aggressive manner when she spots someone lying to her. On the other hand, she often empathizes with and can identify with people who suffer from Hinamizawa Syndrome. "Hinamizawa Syndrome" is a disease based on schizophrenia and delusional parasitosis. Rena suffers from this.
