Renny Epstain

Character Outline
Renny Epstain is a member of the Black Order and the Chief of the North American Branch.

Appearance
Renny is a tall woman with short, slicked back blond hair. Like most of the Branch Chiefs, she wears a long white coat with the Order's white rose emblem. Underneath, she usually wears a low-cut sleevess shirt with tight-fitting trousers or skirt and a string of rosary beads. She used to have long straight midback length hair when she was younger.

Personality
Renny is shown to be a confident woman and one of the very few women Branch Chief of the Black Order. Like Bak, she's proud of her intelligence and abilities as a scientist, as seen when they insist on helping out the Science Division during the latter's research on the Akuma egg. She teases Bak as a 'frog boy' and has stated that she prefers men like Malcolm C. Leverier. Her hobby is body building. She likes snakes but has a distaste for shiitake (an East Asian mushroom).

History
In her younger days, Renny had worked as the assistant to her father on the Second Apostle Project at the Asian Branch, sixth laboratory. Back then, her job mainly was to monitor Yu and Alma, and to report on any abnormalities. Later, along with her father and Twi Chang, she helped seal up Yu when he started to regain his old memories. When Alma went on a killing rampage, she was the only survivor of the massacre as Twi Chang helped her escape before being killed herself.

After the massacre and tragedy, she and Bak Chang sealed off the human experiments as taboos. However, in the recent times, she had a change of heart after the invasion of Lulu Bell and attack of the Level 4 at the Headquarters, as she willingly headed the Third Exorcist project after receiving the Akuma egg fragment from Leverier.

Third Exorcists Arc
After the relocation of the Headquarters, Renny appears before Bak to deliver the news to Komui Lee about a new type of Exorcist: members of CROW that have been implanted with the Akuma cells of Alma Karma. While talking to Komui, she explains that the half-akuma are Third Exorcists and have stationed five of them (Madarao, Tewaku, Tokusa, Kiredori, and Koushi) of them at the Black Order, by the orders of the Central.
