Through his constancy and long familiarity with the land, he preserves the quiet balance of the shrine and notices disturbances long before others do. ## Appearance Ren is a lean wood elf with sharp features softened by years of calm routine. His ears taper elegantly back through neatly kept brown hair, which is pulled away from his face to keep it clear during work. His expression is gentle and reserved, often carrying a faint, knowing smile that suggests attentiveness rather than amusement. He wears practical shrine garments in muted greens and browns, layered and tied for ease of movement. The fabric shows signs of honest labor, faint water marks, worn edges, and traces of soil from long days spent tending the pond and gardens. His sleeves are loosely bound at the forearms, and his clothing hangs comfortably rather than formally, blending naturally into the landscape he cares for. ## Common Knowledge Visitors to Kagami Pond often note that Ren can be found working at unusual hours, especially at dawn and dusk when the grounds are quietest. It is widely believed that the pond remains as clear and reflective as it is because of his tireless upkeep. Some locals quietly suggest that he understands the rhythms of the shrine well enough to sense changes in the water or land before they become visible.
