The Nuvella Famiglia

The Nuvella Famiglia is a mafia family almost as old as the Vongola itself with now 8 generations going. It is known for being a very secretive family with not much public presence, however a lot of connections in the dark. They are known for never rushing any of their movements and rather waiting out the right moment than making any compromises on their plans. They have been openly and vocally opposing the Vongola since their first generation, as the family was founded by a former Vongola heir, Vongola Terzos younger brother who opposed his ideals and decided to build his own family. This is why the family has the same 1 Boss 6 Guardians structure.

There are many rumors and legends about the Nuvella, one for example, that they were responsible for the assassination of Vongola Sesto, however it could never be confirmed, but definitely hightened the tension between the two families. However it has never come to an open violent altercation on a family wide level, though many individuals have clashed with each other.

It is also said that they have ties to "the Serpents", an underground organisation, that deals in the dirtiest and most heinous of crimes, even being responsible for toppling politicians in other countries.

Eight Generation

Vero Nemesi (Boss - Sky)

Vero Nemesi is the eight Boss of the Nuvella family, being the oldest of two children of the former seventh boss Francesca. He is known for being rather cunning tho it is unclear which exact crimes can be attributed to him, due to the Nuvellas secrecy. However he is responsible for many attacks and leaks regarding the Neo Vongola transfer to japan and has weirdly enough not made any attempt to hide this.

He seems to have a particular dislike of Tsunayoshi Sawada and Vongola Nono, blaming his mothers death on Timoteo and his guardians.

Possible and confirmed involvement

The sudden spike of Vongola Nonos Dementia (unconfirmed)

The attack of a Bat Amalgamation Monster on the Varias Squad 4 (confirmed)

Leaking information regarding Tsunayoshi Sawada transfering the Neo Vongola to japan (confirmed)

Financing the build of the Mosca models (unconfirmed)

Leaking information about Vongola whereabouts in the Future (partially confirmed)

Leaking Ekaterina Bugakovas assassination to Anatoli Bugakov (confirmed)

Leaking Basils whereabouts to the Varia during the Ringbattle Arc (unconfirmed)

Cho Nemesi (Information Networker - Cloud Guardian )

Cho Nemesi is Vero Nemesis younger brother and the eight generations Cloud Guardian. He is the head of the Nuvella Information Network, the probably biggest strength and weapon of the Family. He is very loyal to his older brother and works close with their Tech Specialist Beanie. He overlooks the information that they gather and then presents them to his brother who then decides what to leak to whom and if to possibly even sell information. The Vindice has been keeping a close eye on him as he has shown interest in gathering information from the "Atlantis" Bar which has been the secret information pool of the Vindice.

Carmen Serpine (direct comand assassine - Sun Guardian)

Carmen Serpine is the Nuvella eight generation Sun Guardian and the older sister of Mayar Serpine, the boss of the Serpents. She has been the Nuvellas assassine since the former generation, but only under Vero has she been made a Guardian and given a more stable ring for her flame. Under the former Boss Francesca she has been responsible for multiple deaths among the Varia and specifically the eye impairment of Zarria Albo whos left eye she ripped out of her skull. She sees Zarria as her personal enemy; why is unclear, but she has been going for her specifically.

Valencia (Lightning Guardian)

Valencia di Loma is the eight generation Lightning Guardian of the Nuvella Family. It's said that in her past she was part of a church based in rural south italy, where she was raised in believing the divinity of gods punishment. Believing that her boss Vero is a messenger of the Lord himself she has seen every of his orders as a direct command from God itself, following each command no matter how deranged or evil it may be.

Maribella (Mist Guardian)

Maribella is the Nuvella eight generation Mist guardian and regarded an academic genius. She constructs her illusions from the ground up, using her knowledge to make them as realistic as possible, so any attempt at deconstructing them or find fault in them would be unimaginably difficult. She puts rational thought above feelings, which has led to her following Vero as she believes his ideologies to be the ones with the best outcome for italy.

James (Storm Guardian)

James is the Nuvella Famiglia eight generation Storm Guardian and shrouded in mystery even for the Nuvella. Nobody knows where he came from or what his deal is, but he has proven himself to Vero and became his storm guardian. He is truly just here to fuck shit up and have a good time, ready to mess up others for shits and giggles. It's said that he might've been a convicted criminal from another country and it's rather obvious that James is not his real name, however this is mostly irrelevant as neither James nor Vero disclose any information about his background.

Hermeas (Rain Guardian)

Hermeas is the Rain Guardian of the eight generation of the Nuvella Family and an old friend of the Nemesi family. He has been a sort of uncle to both Vero and Cho, ever since they were born and has been incredibly protective of them. He was also the one who first suspected Vongola Nono to be responsible for Francescas death and is still guilt ridden for not being able to protect her when she needed him. This is why he swore to protect her two kids and became the eight generations Rain Guardian, on top of being their bodyguard and closest family member. He disliked Tyr, but always saw Carmens obsessiveness with Tyrs executioner as completely overdrawn.

Beanie (Technic Specialist)

Beanie is the Nuvella families specialist for anything involving technology and internet. He works closely with Cho and has been the one to perform most of the hacking operations for information. He is as much a staple of the Information Network as Cho is.

Mayar Serpine (Boss of "The Serpents" - Mist flame)

Mayar Serpine is the current Boss of the Serpents, an underground organisation that deals in illegal activity in and outside of italy, mostly involved in blackmail, extortion and political plays. The Serpents work closely with the Nuvella for a while now andd Mayar himself has shown to be impressed by the way Vero leads the eight generation. He is Carmen Serpines younger sibling and a formidable illusionist who uses mostly mindgames and psychology to trick his opponents into an opening. He has been opposed to the way the Vongola has been operating for a while, the entire organisation having always been a more opposing force to them than an ally or just neutral party. It's said that the founder of the Serpents even had contact with Giotto Vongola and back then had already been unhappy about the way Giotto led his organisation. Right now he provides the Nuvella with financial and resource aid while playing a big part in the current political landscape of west russia and nort italy.

Pure Flame

Pure Flame is the designation given to individuals with a Dying Will Flame Density equal or above 90%. This can be determined by special devices. It's said that the destructive power of Pure Flames is unmatched and unparalleled. This concept however caused much confusion as the Dying Will Flames were explored more and "Pureness" become a meassurement of Resolve. Although the name "Pure Flame" remained, scientists have decided that the correct term for what it meassures would be Flame Density

Known Pure Flames in history

G [95%] (Vongola First Generation Storm Guardian)

All known Arcobaleno [inbetween 92% and 95% with Reborns density reaching 95%]

Hibari Kyoya [96%] (Neo Vongola First Generation Cloud Guardian)

Fran [90%] (Kokuyo Gang Illusionist)

Catlena D'Anzo [97%] (Varia Tyr Generation Head of Medical Station)

Tyr [91%] (former Boss of the Varia)

Daniela [98%] (Vongola Eight Generation Boss)

Simon Cozzato [92%] (Simon Family First Generation Boss)

Enma Kozato [91%] (Simon Family Tenth Generation Boss)

Vero Nemesi [95%] (Nuvella Family Eight Generation Boss)

The Vongola Heir Dying Will Flame Density test

A part of the selection of the Vongola Heir is the test of the heirs Dying Will Flame Density Level. However this has been only implemented since the 4th Generation. There is no rule or tradition about the heir needing a certain percentage of density to take over the family, as Fabio, the Seventh Generation Boss could become Boss despite a tested density of just 52%. Xanxus was the first and only one that managed to break the meassuring device and has no confirmed official Flame Density Percentage.

Multiple Flames and Density percentage

Originally the meassuring of a Dying Will Flames Density was reserved for only the Vongola main family and it's heirs, though further research especially from 1970 onward has discovered a few very important details. During the 1890 there was a big discussion regarding the concept of "Pure Flames" in a more problematic and very xenophobic way. There were many who believed that you were only a true strong mafiosi if your Dying Will Flame was "pure" in the sense of possessing only one Flame Type. It was suspected that "bastards" and people who were not "purebred" italians would fall into this category, causing social problems in which the sign of two flame types was seen as someone being a bastard child out of wedlock. There were however others arguing that being able to wield multiple flame types was a sign of genius and eugenic superiority. This eventually led to a particular question regarding flame research. Who was correct?

With a study in 1970 conducted by multiple scientists and with different variations, a paper was published in 1975 with prognosis' and first results of the yearlong research. One of it's biggest findings was that the human body could not withstand 100% of Dying Will Flame Density. "If your goal is to heat up water, you want to stay below 100° Celsius to prevent it from evaporating. Otherwise you may have reached your goal, but lost the result you were hoping for." - Dr. Fernando Giusepi.

The study also found out that this meant that holding multiple flames would cause serious damage on the human body if each flame added together exceeded 100% as all flame types resided in a body at the same time, leading to the afformentioned biological constrain of only adding up to at most 99%. In a research project conducted by Dr. Catlena D'Anzo and PhD. Toya Nomura, the results showed that all meassured participants with multiple flame types showed a high overall percentage in flame density, but split among the different flame types. Furthermore it seemed that high density percentages and pureness levels were far more common among individuals with multiple flame types, with usually one crystalizing as the most dominant in an individual, dubbing the others the "secondary flame types". Dr. D'Anzo wrote in her research summary that further observation would be necesary and that this result could also in theory result in an explanation for the Flame of Wrath phenomenon, however there was no indivudual with these needed characteristics that participated in the study.

Consequences

In 1986 Dr. Catlena D'Anzo released a follow up paper on The Medical And Biological Consequences Of High Flame Density. It was a 236 page long paper of observations and about 10 years of research cleanly and transparently documenting the changes in the study- and controlgroup of about 146 people. In her study she concluded that ultimately a density percentage of over 82% can already influence an individuals health, be it physically or mentally. Individuals who actively used their flames in daily life would see an increase related to the amount of flame power used and depending on the flame density the after-effects could be massively aggravated. For people old fashionably considered "Pure Flame" the chance of severe health risks and bodily deterioration would be even worse.

However, there was no follow up study by her and further independant studies have shown similar to mixed results. It has now become a standart to warn someone who tests their flame density above 80% of it's possible repurcussions and influence on their health, though not many people take these PSAs very seriously.

Other Trivia

It is speculated that Giotto Vongola the Vongola family first generation boss also possessed a high density Dying Will Flame, however records are too few to properly deny or confirm this. His legendary status however has led to many Vongola members undoubtedly believing, that Giotto must've been the only person in history to ever reach a Flame density of 100%. Scientifically this is not possible, but it remains a firmly held belief

It's common for younger people to refrain from using "Pure Flame" as a title as it is not just scintifically incorrect, but also holds a lot of associations leading back to the big debate about wether someone was more "pure bred" if they only had one flame type, or special, because they could use multiple different types. Many older mafiosi and especially traditionalists will argue that it's just a naming convention but there is a significant shift in the cultural Zeitgeist.

In Catlenas research on the consequences of high flame density she mentions that her observation of high density sky flames has been mostly inconclusive and that it just might be the only flametype that may have either less severe repurcussions or none at all.

While Flame Density and Pureness seem to have many overlapping characteristics, they are indeed very seperate things. Flame pureness can be cultivated and changed while flame density is similar to a flame type something determined by birth. There are still people who use the two interchangably however. Notably there is still the misconception that rings break due to not matching a flames purity, when the density of the flame plays a vital role in a rings stability. In the same vein however the flame density stands in relation of how much strain someone has to conjour in order to use their flame at all. This makes people with multiple flame types more susceptible to fatigue and exhaustion when they use their flames for an excessive amount of time.

There was once a Soda brand that advertized itself as bossting your flame density and pureness, however it was completely shut down in the span of a week and the brand issued an official apology.

Part 7! Pictures

Rena picrews:

Piccrews used left to right:

Dera and Rena (following were all done by picrews of the same maker) https://picrew.me/en/search/creator?crid=2250997

No matter how convinced you are of your partners baking, if you grew up with Bianchis making food for you, you will ALWAYS fear the dread of poison cooking

While Hayato enjoys horror movies and the like, Rena is a bit more... frightened by them. But she tries to be brave!

Spending time at the beach together can be very relaxing and a great opportunity to bond!

*takes a deep breath*

I usually do not talk about my khr selfinsert/oc but honestly i AM very interested about your thoughts if i just let you lose, so.

"Rena Paolina" (birthname: Alyona Ivanovna Tsareyev), about the age of Tsuna and his guardians is a young woman with a hand for childcare and a trained theater teacher. She was partially scouted by the Vongola to be part of a mafia centric daycare, for the offspring of the Vongola families memebers (There is also another reason why they keep a close eye on her). She has a knack foe identifying what kids need and how to get them to behave, which was especially helpful with the still young Lambo. She is not a fighter (or so she claims) and she completely focuses on her work at the daycare and her small theater group.

Her origin are only known to CEDEF, Reborn and Dino as Dino was the first person she met when she came to italy. She gets along well with Tsunayoshi and his guardians tho she only really seems to bicker and butt heads with Gokudera. With everyone else she seems to find ways to be on good terms with them.

She is a very righteous person and can be hotheaded when it concerns topics that hit close to home. Then she usually becomes short sighted and so heated she ends up running herself into a corner. Even tho she repeatedly says that children scare her and that she isnt very good at caring for them there have not been many kids who ever disliked her. She openly speaks her mind and opinion even to people that have a standing above her, tho she does adjust her way of speaking to not be too disrespectful. She has a passion for theater and really blooms in theater related projects, happily teaching others about it and helping them discover themselves through the magic of theater. However she does shy away from ever getting too much into public spaces for some reason.

This reason being that she is terrified of someone possibly figuring out where she comes from.

"Rena" is actually the only child of the Leonov families boss Ivan Anatolyevich Tsareyev, a mafia family that is notorious for their incredibly conservative ways. Originally her family was banished, as her father was usurped by his own right hand man and had to flee the country. However as Rena became a teenager her father traveled alone back to his home and through gruesome circumstances he managed to take back leadership, making sure to rule through fear. He wanted ro take his wife and daughter back home, however Rena was very against this new life and she ran away from home finding her way to italy where she begged to be taken in. Reborn decided that considering her age and inexperience with anything related ro the underworld she could be allowed to work for the vongoa tho under strict supervision. Should her family ever become an issue in politics she would make a fine hostage.

But even in her youth as her family was banished she had a boy by her side, about the same age as her by the name of Dimitri. While everyone went against her father, only his bodyguard stood with him and followed her family. It was his son that was early on tasked with protecting Rena even as a civilian and when she decided to run away he saw it as his duty to protect her by allowing her to escape. With the years passing she managed to truly prove herself in her craft and became a valued and beloved caretaker even if there are always the entitled parents that try to make her life a living hell.

Bulletpoint trivia

* Lambo adores her as she manages to thread the needle between pulling him back in reins and engaging in his antics.

* in her fifth year at the vongola she had proven herself enough to turn her small theater group into an actual ensemble, even being provided a small theater where they can properly perform even if only for a small audience.

* Reborn always kept one step in the suspicion territory but after seeing how skilled she is at actually taking care of mafia children he realized that she was a valuable asset to the family.

* While on official documents she is listed as having a storm flame she actually posesses a sky flame.

* she is not a fighter. She can protect herself when it comes down to it but she is definitely more a civi than a fleshed out mafiosi.

* Dima keeps an eye on her from afar. He never dared to actually meet her, but ever so often he makes a trip to italy to watch over her for a day before he returns to other duties. Rena has never noticed this.

* The reason Rena is quite close with the tenth family (or the neo vongola family) is not just their similar age, but also that she was one of the first introduced into the circle as soon as the mafia business really started. She took care of a lot of mundane tasks and took care of Lambo first and foremost.

* She actually kind of enjoys her back and forth with Gokudera tho she isnt sure if he sees it the same way.

* On the outside Rena seems to most like she has everything figured out and knows what she is doing. However in that case she is the true embodiment of "fake it till you make it". She is WAY more anxious than people believe her to be.

So I guess i am not asking for anything specific, i mean you know i ship with dera, but I wanted to just give you an opportunity to give me your opinion? Ideas? Critique??? I dont really know myself.

It is up to you. I just value your opinion in general.

(Also wanted to ask: even if the event ends, can i send you my varia boys profiles once they are done?)

@eternitas I dug this up in the queue before work today, just as I know you've been waiting for it ans it keeps getting sent down in wach new reshuffle! First off, let me just say that I am deeply honored that you feel comfortable sharing your self-insert/OC with me. I know that takes a lot of bravery to do, as these sorts of characters become very meaningful and dear to our hearts. I’m not entirely sure what to really give you back though! Because this reply is published publicly on the blog, I am going to ask if you’re okay with other readers commenting on the beautiful Rena and, if you are, I ask my gorgeous constant readers – do any of you lovelies want to comment or ask questions about the character, other than the ones I will be asking? (Though a reminder that all comments and questions must be respectful, anything that I feel is mean-spirited will not be shared and might earn you a block from the blog because again – sharing these types of characters takes a lot of courage). What I ended up giving you was just my thoughts, sometimes an occasional comment that I had while reading through the description of Rena, but mostly questions on her though because I am always very curious about characters! Oh, so many questions! I hope the questions will make sense and that none of it will come off as rude or nosey!! Even the critiques are more meant as…okay, that’s an interesting writing choice. This is how I always thought about the character/process, so I’m just really interested in why you think this thing instead – because, as a reminder, mine is not the only right way to see things and by asking questions and hearing other people’s views, I get to learn new things and see characters and situations in lights that I might never have considered! (Also, please, please, even if there is no event going on, please feel free to send me profiles for the Varia boys, and please know, to my lovely other readers, that I am always interested in hearing about people’s self-inserts or original characters 😊)

How is Rena pronounced? Like Ray-nah or like Ree-na?

Where Rena has a birthname and a new chosen name, how did she settle on the name Rena Paolina? What drew her to that first and last name? Is there any significance behind it?

Where she does have the birthname and then her new identity, did she legally change her name? Most Mafia families would work with forged documents and would be able to spot fake documents, even well-made ones if the family is experienced enough, so I feel she’d be living dangerously relying on just forged documents. Did she go through something like what Reborn went through after becoming cursed, where he went to some sort of specialist, referred to him through Shamal (or maybe even Shamal himself, who knows) and got her old identity completely erased and a new one constructed for her by the best of the best to avoid any danger?

If Rena is around Tsuna’s age, did she temporarily go on the leave from the Vongola after high school to get her theatre degree? If so, who took over childcare while she was gone? Was her absence really noticed? How much contact did she keep in with her friends, if the theatre school she went to wasn’t in Japan? Did they come to visit her often and if so, who showed the most interest in what she was learning about? (Do you see any of the Guardians or Tsuna’s other family members as being really interested in the theatre and acting?)

Why was she scouted for the Vongola? I can see them keeping an eye on her for potential threats and having the attitude of keeping your enemies closer, but why in particular was she scouted for the position she was scouted for? Why would they entrust her with the next generation of the Vongola if there was that fear about her family? Had she proven herself to them in some way? Was she supervised while in the daycare for the first several years until she had shown her loyalty? Or was it that Tsuna and Timoteo's hyper intuition saw through all and knew Rena had a heart of gold and would never hurt any of them or the Vongola itself?

Lambo would obviously give Rena a run for her money and probably tire her out but what about the other children? How does she get along with I-Pin, who is just as energetic but less rambunctious and trouble-making? What about slightly older children like Fuuta? Especially Fuuta, actually, whose ranking abilities could prove dangerous if they were to reveal something she didn’t want to come out, like who she was in the past?

I actually really, really enjoy the fact that Rena isn’t much of a physical fighter and does such a niche job. It makes her much more relatable, in my opinion, without the worry of her being overpowered or anything along those lines. I also love that she has clear passions and interests of her own, things that she enjoys doing that are completely separate from Mafia life because it makes her feel more realistic as a person and more fleshed out and dimensional as a character.

This is the only critique I have and it’s more a question. If she is indeed part of the Vongola, why are her origins only known to Reborn, Dino, and CEDEF. Reborn and CEDEF have no say as to who becomes Vongola, though Reborn recruits for Tsuna’s family specifically and even then, they kind of need to be invited in by Tsuna or at least accepted by Tsuna as part of his family. So, am I confused, and she’s scouted as part of specifically Tsuna’s generation? Because otherwise Timoteo and his Guardians would know about her, and I could honestly see Timoteo being the most sympathetic to her plight and the one most likely to take her in, while I could see Iemitsu and CEDEF and especially Reborn being the more extremely wary of Rena, because they would view her more of a threat, where Timoteo, especially with the help of Vongola’s Hyper-Intuition, would view Rena more as a child in a bad spot who needs a safe place to be and as a human being who means them no harm, something his Hyper-Intuition tells him in his heart and I could actually see him doing everything in his power to bring her into the fold and provide a stable 'father-like' figure to her.

Or am I confused and this takes place when Tsuna is an adult, though that would make no sense as Lambo would be much too old to need childcare at that point, though some of the family members would have children of their own that might need childcare during that time?

How did she meet Dino, where he’s the first person she met upon arriving in Italy? Why did she choose Italy to flee to? Was it a conscious choice or was it more that that was the first flight she could grab?

What are the topics that hit close to home for her? What are the causes and topics she’s passionate about and that get her heated?

If Rena is someone unafraid to speak her mind to anyone and everyone, how is it that she hasn’t gotten herself ‘bitten to death’ by people like Hibari? Or Xanxus, Bel, and Squalo, should she have ever met them? Are there times when she knows how to keep her opinions to herself, because doing otherwise would lead to danger or possible fights, or is she the impulsive type whose mouth sometimes gets the better of her (which I would sympathize with her on if that's the case because sometimes my mouth gets ahead of my head)?

If Rena doesn’t want to perform in public spaces due to a fear of being found out, does that mean the theatre group only performs for the Vongola? Just wondering as I’m just a little confused as to that, because here at least, even the backstage crew gets pulled onto the stage at the end of the show to get their round of applause. Is it different in other countries and I'm just being ignorant? I can't remember if I asked above, but what role does she play in the theatre troop? Does she direct, act, write original plays, anything? I am so, so, so intensely curious and intrigued by this aspect of her and it's one of my favourite things about her, no lie!!

Is her family Russian Mafia? And what do you mean by conservative ways, precisely? Are we talking stereotypical brutal Russian mob, who terrorizes, extorts, blackmails, and murders those inside their own territory? If so, how was the family not taken apart by the townspeople they subjugated during the internal chaos of the coup d’etat where his right hand man took the Boss’ seat? How did his right-hand man take over a family like that while still leaving the former Boss alive, especially as it would be a huge threat to the right-hand man since the former boss could gather anyone even the least bit loyal to him back to his side and could come gunning for the person who took over his role by force. A point blank killing of Ivan would make more sense to me, so I’m just trying to dig into the world here and figure out if there were reasons he was left behind and how all this turmoil in her family happened.

Where did her family resettle, if they were forced out of the country? Did she like that country? Would she return there? Would she ever return to Russia, if the danger of being found out for who she was was taken away? Like, was her childhood there one that she would have loved if born from a different family?

Since she ran way, does she ever contact her parents from a secure line to let them know she is safe? It seems unreasonably cruel, since there’s no hints that her father or mother were abusive to her, for her to leave them there for years upon years wondering if she was safe, if their child had been killed, and all that. Is there more to this family’s story than what’s being told at first glance? Again, this is such an intriguing, interesting backstory that I want to deep dive into it and learn every little bit of information I can about it, like I would want to deep dive into any characters from published anime/manga!

Why did Dmitri not go with her when she ran away, if his purpose and life’s work was really to be her bodyguard? Why did he not follow her after ensuring she got safely out, meeting her at somewhere they would have agreed upon? There’s no way she could have guaranteed safety as a runaway living on the streets, hoping someone would take her in, so I would think he’d be even more insistent on being able to stay with her and protect her. Was it under her orders, to keep him potentially safe, since I know for sure she does genuinely have a good heart and would deeply care about someone who'd been so close to her?

How does she fake having a Storm Flame to seal these official documents? I don’t think Flame types are officially listed on most paperwork, since the only valid way to prove it for it to be recorded would be to light the flame on a Ring? I have nothing against her being a Sky flame, just wondering how she fakes the Storm Flame or if she just has a weak secondary Storm Flame, which would also make complete sense with her personality!

If Dmitri knows where she is and watches her from afar, why has he just not approached her? If it’s because he could be caught doing so, he’d be caught doing observation and surveillance on her, wouldn’t he? Is he nervous she'd be upset or is he worried he might not fit into her new life??

Now just some random questions because I genuinely do think Rena is adorable, I like the bit of shipping headcanons you’ve shared with her and Gokudera, and I’m interested in learning more about just who she is as a person!!

What are some of Rena’s other hobbies other than theatre? Is there any particular genres she’s really pulled towards for all the media and stage shows she prefers?

What’s one stage production that she has always wanted to be a part of but hasn’t gotten to be a part of yet?

Is she right or left handed? Is she at all superstitious and does she believe in things like astrology, crystals, and psychics?

Would she go ghost-hunting/Bigfoot-spotting, etc. with Gokudera? Does she genuinely believe in all that stuff or is she doing it to humour him and because she knows how much he loves that kind of stuff?

What’s her style? How does she dress? How much care does she take with her appearance? Is she a no makeup kind of person or someone who likes to play around with their makeup?

Who’s her favourite kid out of the main kid trio of Lambo, I-Pin, and Fuuta? What about the Arcobaleno, where they look like babies? Who would she think is the cutest baby?

Does she attend Yamamoto’s baseball games and if so, is she one of the super-loud spectators, cheering him on so everyone can hear or is she more quietly supportive?

Does she have a parent she preferred growing up? (Was she a Daddy’s girl or a Mommy’s girl?) If she didn’t really ever get along with her parents, was there another relative that she really loved and that was her safe space, like an aunt or cousin?

What does Rena look like! I don’t remember it in the description or anything, so I’d love to hear about that aspect of her too!

Does she ever have any relationships prior to getting together with Gokudera or is he her first and only relationship throughout her life? How do they end up getting together? Does someone officially confess or does it just kind of happen naturally?

What is her daily life with Gokudera like? Do they move in together and if so, how soon? What’s her favourite thing about him and what drew her to him and vice versa?

When’s their anniversary? How do they typically celebrate?

How do her and Gokudera resolve fights and arguments they have?

Honestly, just tell me anything and everything about her because I’m really interested in getting to know her!

Part 6!

23. she is right handed and superstitious but noot in that suburban housewife way. She does believe in astrology. Not the "the planets define your character", but the "I am sure the position of the stars and celestial objects have SOME form of influence on our lives, must not be big, maybe nothing we can truly explain, but to think these things in the universe have NO impact on us would be crazy." She subsequently also believes in ghosts, posessions and card reading. HOWEVER! She absolutely HATES the way many people "appropriate" teachings or twist them into cconservative ideology with glitter and aesthetic. She believes in witchcraft and pagan believes, but if anyone tells her that women have lighter and softer auras which makes them inherently more nurturing then men and therefore suited for housework she might just lose her temper. The divine and the magical are things not every third woman that lucid dreams can just pretend they know about. She believes that these powers exist, but on a plane that mortals can not or only BARELY touch and interact with. Read into family constellation or systemic constellation, that shit is like magic and those things are what she is talking about. It's an intimate process. Funnily enough she doesn't believe in every cryptid story. Mothman? Unlikely. Bigfoot? Yeti? Maybe. The Beast of Gevaudan? YES. Demonic posessions? YES- not all, but several. Aliens? Hell why not, she believes in the planets influencing earth, why not another species out there, also with intelligence of whatever form?

24. She would. But only after constant and repeated reassurance that NO MATTER WHAT he will be there to protect her and make sure nothing evil or demonic will get her. She is easily scared, she is def one that always gets caught by jumpscares. So while she will accompany him if he really insists her first instinct will be “not at night, if it’s at night then forget it”. She believes herself to be sensible to energy fluctuation (even tho she says she is possibly just imagining things, since she also holds herself as just some rando that the universe would not bless with otherworldy powers and witchcraft), so when she gets the creeps she will panic. It really doesn’t help, that she is actually INTERESTED in these things! Ghost hunting sounds SO good and so does cryptid hunting but WHY do these things hav to be at NIGHT?! “Okay I get it, power of the moon, the celestial energetic influence brings forth an increase in paranormal activity, yada yada, but STILL!”

25. Rena is pretty basic in her style. She hasn’t a defined one, tho she often says she wished she could match Gokuderas punk aesthetic. She usually goes for a lowkey fashion, not too flashy and mostly comfortable. Her primary work is pretty taxing so she doesn’t have the energy to prepare very prolific outfits and same with makeup. HOWEVER if there IS an ocassion, she WILL dress up and spend some extra effort in her looks. She can’t do even and straight eyeliner if her life depended on it and her technique is a BIT wonky, but she still looks stunning when she gets out the lipstick and accentuates her eyes. She also loves to experiment with her hair when she has the energy and time. From braided hairdos to loops and hairbuns, she really likes to do different things, tho she usually opts to just have her hair out of her face and not in her way. She WISHED she could be a hoodie thief, but since Gokudera dislikes that she refrains from it, tho sometimes when doing the laundry and folding stuff she will cuddle up to his hoodies. At least for a moment. Dera notices that his stuff smells slightly like her from it, but he doesn’t outright.. HATE it… In terms of jewelery, she always has a flame ring hidden with her for emergency cases, otherwise she sometimes wears earrings and ALWAYS a bracelet. This bracelet was the one parting gift Dimitri gave her. It’s a small selfmade pearl bracelet with the biflag colours and she holds it very dear.

26. For professional reasons I can not disclose her favourite child as they are all her favourite and it would be morally abhorent to play faves. Jokes aside tho it’s hard for her to say because she adores all three of them. She definitely finds the whole “this is a toddler who is actually a grown man” a BIT strange and was never really into the “oh my god babies are sOOOOO cuuuuute!” It reminds her of her mom. Sooo she usually goes “eh. I guess they’re cute?”

27. I def think if she is invited and has time she will go and cheer him on! Depending on the size of the audience she might not be heared, but that doesn’t matter because HEY THAT’S HER FRIEND!!! LOOK HOW COOL HE IS! Tho it takes a few tries of explaining from Yams side for her to truly grasp the rules and intricacies of the sport.

28. I think with what I have disclosed of her the answer to which parent she prefers is: it’s complicated. Her mother wasn’t an outright monster and she gets upset at anyone claiming she was. Her mother was still VERY supportive, unconditionally loving and Rena had a lot of fun with her mother. Her father was also loving and tender and while she never had outright abusive memories of him, he also wasn’t there all that much. So it’s hard for her to say. She loves her parents, but she also has deeply seated issues with the both of them. In terms of relatives she had quite a few, but she never felt like she could form a connection with them. Her female relatives were usually patronizing and overly cuddly, treating her like some kind of child doll, the men did too, but aside of a few interactions here and there she had barely any contact with them. And again: they all kind of thought in a similar vein as her mother constantly going on about how she will be SUCH a pretty heterosexual genderconforming woman :)))

29. I actually made a few picrews and also two shippy things that kind of highlight Dera and Renas relationship a bit, so I am excited to share them here.

30. I do think due to the stress she was under she didn’t really have a chance to develop something. She def THOUGHT she had a crush and tried to somehow force herself to crush on boys, but it was--- well… forced. Only once she was truly out of the whole demanding situation could she breath and finally develop proper feelings and relationships. So… while she did have dates and also kissed others before, Gokudera is her first SERIOUS relationship. So she is both a bit clingy to it, but also tries to anticipate them not working out for the long run, because: well its her first serious romantic relationship and she is still young.

31. Funnily enough despite her being more for shipping I was so occupied with her arc and backstory I have NO IDEA how they officially get together. But I can see it gradually building up over time and interactions. And from how you have convinced me I almost feel like it would be Rena that confesses and Dera goes along because he believes it might be nice to date her, even if they don’t last for long? Idk why that’s my feeling.

32. I think it takes a bit until they move in together, maybe even after her arc to be honest. She is a bit scared of living with him. What if he finds out and kicks her out? What if they fight and break up over something stupid? She does stay over sometimes for a while, a few days, maybe a weekend or over the holidays and it’s… almost chill? It feels almost natural. She finds it so so easy to just be by his side without it being boring. It’s a bit rocky in the beginning, since this is still her first relationship and she has only popular media to take information from (she’d rather not try to take her parents as an example), but she is also VERY scared of losing him that she relents in a fight and tries to find something SHE herself can change. As outspoken as she may be in general, she is TERRIFIED of losing Gokudera. She really really likes him. She likes being in his orbit. She likes talking to him and spend time with him. She likes the way they spend time together and he makes her feel appreciated and desired. He makes her heart race and it’s so intoxicating that it’s almost like an addiction. And therefor she of course also does what she can to hold onto it. It does cause a bit of a fight in their beginnings, but Gokudera is ready to work it out with her as he does like her and doesn’t want to be the reason she becomes so meek and lets be real, a fucking doormat. He likes when she is confident and self assured. Her passion is what attracted him to her, so he tries to make her truly trust in him NOT just leaving because they have disagreements and here and there annoy each other or step on each others toes. And with the reassurance it does get better.

They do have a few series they like to watch together, mostly paranormal shows or something lighthearted and feel good. Each of them decides on a movie for the next movie night always taking turns in who picks the movies. The night isn’t like one set day in the week, but usually how they have time and energy for it. They each also have a few rules and a VETO policy. There are things Gokudera will NEVER watch and there are things Rena would absolutely never watch. But there is also the Veto Policy which says that they can reject the pick of a movie for the night, but have to accept the next two movies picked by that person. To not be assholes to each other they usually pick a second movie that before they invoke their VETO they CAN choose between movie A and B. Example. It’s Gokuderas pick. His primary movie is a horror movie pick, one that isn’t one of the trashy ones, but a legit scary one. Rena asks for his other pick which is a bit of a suspense movie, but not outright horror. Rena can now either pick between the two or VETO the pick and subsequently expose herself to the next two picks by Gokudera. After the first time they watched a horror movie together tho, Rena got nightmares, could barely sleep and was a bit of a mess, so he is careful with what movies he picks. She can do something like Paranormal Activity, Truth or Dare or Unfriended, but The Ring, Insidious or The Exorcist will not let her sleep. Dera especially likes asian horror movies as they are especially atmospheric and it drives Rena crazy. But as mentioned, he isn’t a total asshole and he does care about her so he doesn’t torture her too much.

33. Whats her favourite thing about Dera? Probably that they kind of have similar beliefs and tastes. She can hold a meaningful discussion with him about topics without it getting into a fight and she appreciates his insight and opinions on different topics even if she disagrees on things. He is fierce and sometimes bickering with him is fun and exciting, but she appreciates his quiet tenderness. He doesn’t announce his care. He just cares. And she kind of likes that a lot, because it speaks of how deep inside he is kind of soft. She also really thinks its cute what a DORK he is about UMAs and the paranormal. He lights up the way she does when it comes to theater and it just captivates her. She appreciates how he is way smarter than her and yet they are both intelligent in their own way. She quite frankly also just REAAALLY enjoys his touch. It has a certain strength to it that isn’t overpowering or overdominating, but just… makes her feel secure. That if she falls, he WILL catch her. And with EASE. And while I am bad with coming up with reasons for Dera to like her, specifically bc I am not secure in my depiction of him, I do believe he has similar thoughts about their conversations and her passion. In an environment that is comfortable to her she is a competent leader, without being overly bossy, she wants others to thrive and help them achieve their goals and most of all she is PRETTY patient and understanding. He knows that his devotion to Tsuna and the family is something not many people would accept in him as a partner, but she does. She openly says that of course she wished to be his number one, but she also knows that it won’t ever happen and that if having to decide he will ALWAYS pick Tsuna above anyone else. But she is okay with that and understands. She doesn’t ever make her being upset with it his fault. And while he wished she wasn’t upset at all, he deeply appreciates her saying that this is a her problem and she will find ways to deal with it. It makes him feel like he doesn’t have to justify himself and it makes it easier to then reassure her that even if he will def always without fail pick Tsuna over anyone else, she is also deeply important to him and has a place in his heart. Also they just kind of have a similar wavelength which he doesn’t have with many others.

34. No idea about their anniversary, but they also don’t make a SUPER big deal about it. Def a nice dinner, maybe she bakes a cake, he gets her flowers and they spend the night wink wonk, but none of them demand something from each other.

35. Rena is VERY self reflective. She had a lot to work up on once she was out of home and she luckily could get therapy privately provided (“Dima, where did you get the money from?” - “Classified.” - “… I am your boss though, aren’t I?” - “No. Your dad is.” - “Fair.”), so she did kind of learn about proper communication and dealing with arguments and standing up for herself. I have already brought up how they start off, with her relenting more and avoiding conflict, which then upsets Dera and they have a long talk about it, with tears and reassurance and all, and from that on she is a bit more assertive in her needs, but never unreasonable. Yes, he will unnecesarily blow a fuse, because she went “Again?” after he said he would spend the night at HQ doing much needed paperwork, and she does defend herself, but she usually stays as calm as possible and explains herself. It’s rare that it REALLY clashes and when they do it gets loud for a bit, maybe they both part, steaming and upset, but once calmed down they talk it out. Them getting really INSULTING and hurtful usually doesn’t happen and when it does it is SO jarring to either of them that it IMMIDEATLY changes the situation. In the beginning Dera was still prideful enough and stubborn to hold onto how he is right and he will stick to it but after not just talking to Tsuna and Yamamoto, but also Rena calmly explaining how much his words hurt her, he kind of has an easier time with admitting his faults. She NEVER makes him feel like admitting to making a mistake is in any form a failure or god forbid a defeat. So it’s easier to admit when technically nothing is really on the line, but his own ego. Their biggest “fight” is probably the Russian Kidnapping Arc or “Matryoshka Hide and Seek” Arc, where basically EVERYTHING comes to light. Her being originally from russia, her lying about herself being a semi-civi, lying about her flametype, and especially that she is part of a rather notorious russian mafia family. Despite having her reasons, Dera doesn’t do well with betrayal. Jury is out on how things develop from after she comes back to italy.

I think I already completely squeezed every bit of information out of my brain lol.
