Ren Bastola, simply called Ms. Ren by Rood and Master, appears to be a normal secretary working for Opion, albeit one who works very closely with her boss. She is skilled in the use of talismans, but is otherwise not particularly talented in magic. But is that all there is to her background? She is not explicitly stated to have any personal connection to Rood or Kiel's pasts, yet she is the only other character who is privy to Blow's true identity. This could simply mean that she earned Kiel's trust while working under him, but it's also possible that there is more to her character. She could be a person from Kiel's past that he enlisted to help raise Rood, or she could have accidentally found out about Rood and stuck around. This also begs the question, just how much does Ren know? She obviously is aware of Blow's identity, but does she know about Rood's past and the fact that he is Kiel's brother?
Personally, I like to entertain the idea that Ms. Ren is Kiel's younger half-sister, who was depicted briefly in chapter 122 (admittedly their hair and eye colors differ slightly). It's possible that in the years since Kiel ran away, she had felt guilty about treating him so poorly and had reunited with him to apologize, then decided to stay and help raise Rood. I know that this theory is HIGHLY unlikely and probably full of holes (I really can't picture Ren dropping a freaking flower pot on anyone's head), but I think it would be a nice way to get some closure about Kiel's family. After all, we know that they were an upper class family, possibly Nobles, and that they seemed to have a lineage of magicians (considering how upset the lady was that her kids didn't have any talent), but otherwise we have no idea who they are or what they are doing now.
I'm very curious as to how Ren fits into the story as a whole, so if you have any theories I would love to hear them! |

I'm very curious as to how Ren fits into the story as a whole, so if you have any theories I would love to hear them! wow. I'm always shocked by how people pay attention to such details and actually use their brain and think and make up theories ._. I am personally someone who does not use their brain a lot, so I always look up to ppl who actually take the time to think about theories and possible plot developments ._. All I have to say is that if Ren does have more secrets, then the story is going to last a lot longer than I expected. which is good  |
