Hobbies: Volunteering - Renée wants to be a doctor, but she doesn't have to wait until then to start helping out ! The desire to help people is deeply rooted inside the young girl, and always has been. She volunteers at the local hospital, helping keeping the patients and the elderly company, since she can't quite help out in any other way for now. She also volunteers at the local animal shelter as well, though she shows up there less and less, given that the number of hospital patients increased sharply in the last few years...
Photography - Ever since getting her first toy camera at a young age, Renée has been taking photos. It started with people first, hassling her older brothers to no end, but as she grew up and discovered her other passion for birds, she turned to taking photos of birds and wildlife, be it in urban settings, parks, or deep in the heart of a forest. She does still take photos of people and groups if they ask her nicely, but her true passion - and her nicest shots - are wildlife and scenery. She'd submitted those photos to magazines, but has never gotten any published yet.
Bird-Watching - Some girls want a pony when they were little. Renée wanted birds. When she never got the pet birds she wanted, Renée simply took to the outdoors to find and observe them. Renée owns a countless books about the subject, and her bookshelf is filled with ornithology books rather than young adults novels like most girls her age, and is often found in parks, trails, and the forests near Destiny City to observe birds and take pictures. As she grew, she has come to appreciate birds in their own habitat more than actually owning one as a pet.
Out, out, out ! - Ah, the great outdoors. She goes on camping trips as much as she possibly can. It's not just camping, either - Renée also enjoys hiking and spending her free time outside in parks, either just relaxing or observing the wildlife. She was in the girl scouts when she was younger, but stopped a few years ago in favor of going camping with friends and wandering parks alone looking for birds.
Virtues: Theory-Smart -- Renée is a bright girl - not a genius by any stretches or imaginations, but she's knowledgeable academically - and if she doesn't know it, then she know where to look so get the info she seeks. She's a relatively quick learner when she puts her mind to it, as long as it's about theory - practice will take a little longer to get down, but Renée tends to understand concepts quickly, and if she doesn't get it, then she's unafraid of asking questions. Renée actually reads on a university level, despite being the equivalent of a junior. Outside of an academic setting, this manifests as Renée being good at following trains of thoughts and at looking up information, if it is needed. She's also more than willing to share her knowledge, and help someone out if they need it.
Hard Worker -- Go hard, or go home. Renée has an iron will, and is very hard-headed - once she has a goal, it's very hard, if not downright impossible, to make her back down from it. She gives everything she has to whatever she undertakes, because otherwise, what's the point ? Nothing is left undone or half-assed with her - everything, from the most mundane task to the most important assignment, is done to the best of Renée's ability, because she simply cannot accept anything less from herself.
Mothering -- If you've got a problem, come to Renée. Not only will she give you all the attention and care you need, but she will also do her best to help you find a solution to your problem. If you just need a shoulder to cry on, that's okay too - she won't offer a solution unless it's obvious that you're looking for one. She genuinely cares about your problems and your feelings, from the smallest to the biggest - if it's enough to upset you, then it's important enough to care about it. Renée just know that sometimes you just need to cry and b***h about something, not necessarily fix it. She can easily connect and understand the emotions of others. She's more likely to leap into action for someone else's problems than she is to do for her own. There is also the physical side to this virtue - if you have a cut or a scratch, Renée will pretty much leap on the occasion to take care of you.
Outgoing - Renée loves people. She is at her most comfortable surrounded by others, especially if she is helping them. She is not shy in the least, at least not on an inter-personal level, and will often by the one to make the first move. Being teamed with a girl she doesn't know isn't disappointing - it's an opportunity to make a new friend ! She is also very open in spite of her upbringing, or perhaps because of it - she didn't have many friends back when she was younger, and she definitively want things to be different now. More than anything, Renée wants to be loved.
Flaws: Naive – She won't believe you if you tell her the sky is green - that's just silly. But Renée has a distinct lack of real-life experience from being sheltered by her parents for so long. Worse is, she's fully aware of this, and while she knows how to check facts, she literally can't tell if someone is lying to her in her face unless it's kindergarden obvious. Even the worse liars have a decent chance with Renée. She likes to think the world is mostly sunshine and puppies with the occasional thunderstorm and that most people are innately good and have good intentions - she just can't pick up the little warning signs that she's being used or talked to behind her back. If you tell her something and she can't disprove it, she'll believe you - as simple at that. In the same vein, she's also quite the doormat - it's easy to get what you want out of her thanks for her lack of picking up on others' intentions.
Anxious -- Was that okay ? What about this ? Oh no, I just upset you, did I ?! Renée is pretty much a champion worrywart. She frets, and frets a lot - from people's wellbeing to what consequences her actions might have, to weither or not she's working hard enough to please, well.. pretty much anyone. Her anxiety manifest mostly in her relations with others rather than in her actual goals. She frets, thinks, and rethinks all the time, often missing windows of opportunities with others because she's never completely certain that she's doing the right thing for them first, and for herself second. The slightest hint of dissaproval will have Renée all but begging for the chance to fix her mess-up, even if there wasn't even a mess-up to begin with.
Carry The World On My Shoulders – Renée is an hard worker by definition. While this is a good thing, it also comes back to bite her. She simply must get things done to the best of her ability, no if or but, and if that means she has to pick up the slack, so be it. If someone in a project is slacking, for example, it means she must work twice as hard to make up for it, because she feels responsible for everything she has an hand into. Group failures always end up personal for her, even if it wasn't her fault at all. She is always willing to help out others, always willing to take on more work, often forgetting her own limitations and the fact that she's only one person, that it is simply impossible for her to manage everything by her lonesome, and she often ends up overwhelmed and overworked. When she hits her breaking point, she tends to fall in a depressive funk that takes her a few days to work herself out of... only to start the circle around again.
Low Self-Esteem -- Even sheltered as she was, Renée still has seen enough of the outside world to know that... she doesn't fit there. Not really. She see the pretty, slender girls everywhere - in magazines, on billboards, most of her friends, in her eyes. She finds herself lacking, and doesn't consider herself pretty. At all. She wishes she was more slender, a little taller... She's nothing special, and has utterly convinced herself of this to the point that she will argue against anyone that calls her pretty till she's blue in the face. This feeds into an already strong sense of modesty, as she tries to keep her body covered, and will avoid going to the pool because she doesn't want to be seen in a bathing suit in public, for example. She will go to ridiculous extremes in order not to let others see most of her body, not only because of her upbringing, but because she just plain feels her physical appearance lacking. Why show off something you can't be proud off, after all ? Renée would never purposely put on the spotlight something she can't find pride in, and her own body is no exception.
