Background
Debut
"ALTER CROWN's leader who leads her teammates on the right path with her cheerfulness and level-headed decision-making skills. Senior idol with a firm knowledge of basics, excellent vocal skills, and colorful list of achievements."
She easily won 1st place on the survival audition program and succeeded in her debut. She worked as a solo singer until she was invited to become an idol. When her idol debut was decided, she confessed in a certain variety show that she was worried about working as a group because she was used to solo activities. But she boasted later that she was enjoying her time together with teammates and how it allowed her to become more passionate about her activities. She doesn't hold back advice and encouragement even towards other group members. This kind nature of hers makes her very popular amongst everyone in the entertainment industry.
Because of her years of stage experience, fan service, and outstanding artistic senses, she was once chosen as the number one idol for "entertainment show PD's most wanted" list. With her wide skill pool including dancing, singing, and entertainment, she is deemed as a textbook example in the idol industry. Rena is a target for admiration for all those aspiring to become an idol. She is also aware of this and said that she will do her best to become a good example for everyone.
She was once seen by fans taking a test for a certain license and this became a big issue at one point. She mentioned that she likes challenging many things. However, she's the type that likes to finish anything she started so most things she starts don't end with just a challenge. Not too long after she was seen taking the test, there was a famous happening where she drove 4 hours in place of her manager who fell because of a stomachache and made it to her scheduled performance in time.

"A bright, cheerful leader of ALTER CROWN who guides the other members to the right path."
She has starred in a famous real variety show [Challenge! Deserted Island Survival] shortly after debut. Fans who saw the trailer were concerned that Lena would struggle due to her usual mild and gentle personality, but after the show aired, their concerns were quickly put to rest. Rena's wilderness skills were on full display as she encouraged her guests to build tents and cooked up quite convincing meals using resources that could be found on the deserted island. She was so skilled that some jokingly asked her to be hired as a permanent member instead of a guest.
After going viral on the show, she was signed to be an ambassador with a beauty brand. It is said that Rena's fresh and healthy image makes her a perfect choice for eco-friendly cosmetics derived from natural ingredients.
Rena is also very active in live social media interactions. Rena would often go live with no set topic, with varying content displayed every day. Sometimes it's about her daily life. Sometimes it's a challenge stream where she tries something trendy with Rose. The challenge stream soon became the center of her content. Dancing, racing, gaming, cooking, and eating. Recently, all the members of Alter Crown challenged the food of a famous franchise restaurant at the highest spice level. This led all members but Elesis to suffer stomachaches and forced them to take a break from streaming for a while. However, the spiciness didn't deter Rena from her challenge, and her first stream back on the show was an ice cream eating session at a famous ice cream shop. With full scoops and max toppings, Rena's indulge in ice cream quickly became a hot topic for a while. When her fans expressed concern about her health, she responded by saying, "You should soothe your stomach with something cold after eating something spicy."
Rena, who has a vibrant history as an entertainer, is also active in sports. She is currently practicing with the famous tricky dance team TORTA.
Relationships

"Gap in her actions is so cute and lovely."
The gap between her energetic appearance on stage and her usual slightly clumsy self is so cute and lovely. She was even taking memos when I was giving her advice. Watching her made me think I need to work even harder for my juniors. Also, Ara's cat is sooooooo~ cute! "I see more mature side of Ara nowadays." Ever since our new member Lithia joined, Ara has been showing a lot of her mature side lately. It's probably because Ara now has a younger member to look after. Fufu, she's still a kid to me. Oh, lately I have been practicing yoga with Ara in the mornings. I heard it's good to create a daily routine, but sometimes you want to slack off a little. So, I skipped yoga that day. That was when Ara's cat climbed into my bed and started yowling and scratching at me! I was so surprised that I had to wake up. Since I woke up, I decided to practice yoga. It was only then the cat calmed down! Looks like I'm part of the cat's routine. |

"She's mature, reliable, and has a big sense of responsibility towards the team."
She's mature, reliable, and has a big sense of responsibility towards the team so I can always depend on her. It sometimes feels like her mind matured too quickly for her age and makes me want to take care of her like a little sister. She doesn't talk about private matters too much except for when talking about her little brother. When I'm listening to her talk about her brother, I think I can understand why she acts so mature. "She's so lively, gorgeous, and full of energy." Elesis reminds me of fire. Passionate, gorgeous, and full of energy. It's not like the fire that eats away at anything, but a fireplace that stays firmly in place and fiercely burns, providing warmth. Fufu, is that an awkward analogy? But she gives me those feelings. It's very fortunate to have someone who gives such a firm faith. I sometimes see Elesis' little brother. Their similarities and differences make them so fun to watch. It's true that siblings look alike. I wish I had a cute sibling to look after~ |

"She's always polite and professional"
She's a new member who was brought in for the concept of our new song. She's always polite and professional so I think there's a lot to learn from her. We go on restaurant tours together often because our tastes are similar... ..Sigh... unvisited restaurant list is growing because our schedules have been so busy recently. "I love how our thoughts align." I always feel synchronized with Rose. We enjoy the same things, we love to challenge new things. She's always willing to do what I want to try out, so I feel that she's such a good friend. She deals with a lot of machinery, which never fails to amaze me. She's got all these specs of newly released devices. Rose set up my stream entirely. As much as I stare into the machines, I have no clue how they work... Last time, my computer stopped working so all the other members got together to try and fix it. We were at the verge of giving up when Rose walked in and reconnected something and it started running. Since then, I just assume Rose is performing some magic when she deals with machines. |

"I want to look after and care for her."
When I first saw her, I thought she was just bright and lively. But as I got to know her more, I discovered that her adept skill in various fields stems from hard work and ardor. It made me want to look after her. So, I often took her on a drive as a break between the intensive practices. Every time we went on these drives, she would say "Oh, I've worked here before", "I've done some warehouse packing here", or "I know the owner here from working", which would scare me a little. Maybe the entire world is Lithia's part-time universe. |

"I wish he were my little brother."
What a cute and polite kid. If only he could be my younger brother... When I asked him for some work relating to Classical reference, he worked on that as if it were his job. It was cute to see him mention each reference to explain each point in so much detail like a teacher~ I wish I could converse with him in the future as well. |
|
"I thought he was a difficult person to get close to, but..."
I gave him advice when I saw him researching dances late into the night all by himself. But he just bluntly replied, "I got it" then left. I thought he was a difficult person to get close to, but on the next day, he murmured something then ran away after giving me a chocolate drink. I think he was trying to say thanks. Haha, how cute~ |
|
"The way she shies away is cute."
The way how she was so polite made it feel like she was pushing me away, but it was just the way she talked. When I didn't know her well, it was odd to see her in MEGA CAKE. At that time, I thought she would fare better alone solo, rather than as an expert. But when I got to know her better... she's quite cute! And the way she shies away is e~ven cuter! |

"You can't help but like her absurd but bright and honest attitude"
I saw her when she was a hot topic for discussion on SNS because of her home shopping mukbang! I was shocked to find out that she was going to make her debut. You can't help but like her absurd but bright and honest attitude. Although we can't meet right now because we're both so busy, I'll make sure to recruit her for our restaurant touring crew one day! Umm... that is if our schedules free up.... |

"It's so cool to see him fixated on one thing."
I'm usually interested in many things, so I end up trying various activities. I never really go deep in a single activity. Raven is someone who focuses on one thing. When I met him at a dojo, he was so good at it that he could be a professional. I think he would have been a famous sports star if he didn't pursued idol as his career. We often enjoy the same workout, so we end up sharing a lot of information. The places he recommends are all great and has amazing facilities, but the protein shake... mmm... definitely not my style~ |

"He's like a housewife during his personal broadcast."
I'm an avid fan of Ciel's cooking show! He's so charismatic on stage, but it's entertaining how he's like a housewife on his personal broadcast. When we met on-set, I carefully asked him if he can recommend any good dessert cafes, but then he gifted me his homemade cookies and tea instead! His dessert tasted like true happiness! Hahaha, I knew I had an eye for people. |
