<div align=justify><div style="padding: 10px 15px;">'''Renee Georgette Becquerel''' is, in at least some ways, the ideal modern citizen of Limsa Lominsa. A Captain and former field soldier with a passion for her homeland and her countrymen, Renee turned from away from the death and chaos of combat to follow more "civilian" pursuits. An artisan, a scholar, a businesswoman, and the head of a household and free company that enables others who still take to the field, Renee's position is one that tends to be more supportive.

Though her smile is easy and she's fond of the comforts of peace and stability, Renee is no simple, doting maternal figure unused to or wholly uncomfortable with conflict. Her smile is one that can easily turn to a fanged, predatory thing. As soft as her words can be, they can just as freely come dripping with venom. Even in spite of her roundly overfed and overpampered figure, she's hardly a pushover in a fight. Still, the steel and fire she has is usually kept well-hidden by a keen if occasionally snide wit and a well-groomed presentation that sometimes borders on transparent arrogance.

There may be a temptation to say she's of two minds or even duplicitous, but Renee is simply someone who draws clear boundaries in her life and as much as she would rather revel in all the comforts and joys of a peaceful, conflict-free life, her personality has been shaped by mistakes, war, trauma, and loss. She knows far too well the cost of not enforcing the lines she draws both for herself and for others.<br><br>
<div></div>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #5a1d33;font-size:20px;color:#ece8bd;letter-spacing:0.2em;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;font-weight:bold;">APPEARANCE</div></div>
<div></div></div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 15px;">As is the case for everyone to the point it's silly to say, Renee's appearance is shaped by the life she leads. In the transition from a battle-hardened soldier and adventurer, her figure has changed from one that once obviously carried a great deal of power beneath a some slight extra curve. At six fulm and every bit of four hundred and sixty ponze, she is conspicuous in her lack of height and likely considerably more conspicuous in her excess of width, no longer the product of long journeys to distant trials and far more the product of short journeys to nearby pastries. Beneath her girth, there's the hearty bearing one would expect from someone with her past and while her pearish build lends itself to a swaggering waddle with enough power to it to suggest there's some hidden strength to make up for what she certainly lacks in speed.

Her face is plump with features that run a little long and easily carry a smile, sometimes one earnest and genuine, sometimes one too sharp and playful to be taken seriously. Smiling, grinning, laughing thing that she is, she can just as easily take to a stern, stony stare at a moment's notice. Her sharp, cunning eyes are mismatched; one green and the other brown and sit beneath. Her brow is fine and often crooked to match whatever snotty expression she's on the verge of deploying to the misfortune of anyone nearby.

The darkness and faint duskiness of Renee's skin suggest a mixed heritage, something that was likely never an issue in Limsa Lominsa even if she's just a shade too dark to seem as though it's only a deep tan. Though she has a few small nicks and scars, save for two, they're all fine and faint enough to escape notice. The worst among them, however, are not so fine and faint. Just beneath the left side of her collarbone and with a matching partner on her back, Renee bears a thick and yet oddly neat scar the perfect size to suggest having been run through by a sword and rather neatly so at that. The wound it caused was undoubtedly a grievous one and that she lives at all is surely a commentary on her good fortune and the skills of her healer more than any personal fortitude on her part.

While she maintains a varied wardrobe of clothing and even armour, Renee's fashion sense only occasionally nears the elegant and more often tends towards showy and extravagant. Sweeping coats, both bold and pastel colours, deep necks, and ample jewellery contrast against choices in materials that are luxurious more for their comfort than simply their cost. The same care for her clothing carries over to her grooming with well-tended skin, nails, and hair, the last of which is beginning to turn silver far too early for her age though the streak of lighter hair is almost always hidden by dye. Usually lingering around her is the scent of floral perfume, moisturising oils, and a faint hint of fragrant tobacco, making her presence just that much more obnoxious.<br><br>

<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>LIKES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Honesty'''<br>
Above all else, Renee values honesty and lives a philosophy centred around the idea and ideal of its pursuit, dedicated to it to the point that she avoids actively deceiving others at all costs.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Music'''<br>
Not just a bard, but a Limsan and the child of a sailor, Renee generally prefers singing and harps as both make for easy travel. Rarely, she can be found wielding a fiddle.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Writing'''<br>
Believing herself partially responsible for the future of the bardic arts, Renee is a hoarder of fantastic-yet-true stories.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Woodworking'''<br>
An artefact of her time in the Shroud, Renee is a carpenter of considerable artistic talent and, upon returning to Limsa Lominsa, learned the skills of a shipwright.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Limsa Lominsa'''<br>
Patriotic nearly to a fault, Renee believes deeply in both the might and right of her homeland. She is deeply loyal to the thalassocracy, its Admiral, and the rule of law they represent.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''The word "motherly"'''<br>
Renee's attitude towards much of The Coral Sea, the membership of the same, and a few of her personal friends has taken a fairly parental turn as she's managed to slowly mature to the point a few have called her out on it. She can't help but feel it's proof she's actually matured as a person.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>DISLIKES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Dishonesty'''<br>
Be it people causing harm by lying to others or causing harm by lying to themselves, Renee openly dislikes people who live their lives without at least passing regard to the value of honesty.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Cowardice'''<br>
Renee will readily encourage people who can't fight for themselves to think of their own safety, but one of the easiest ways to lose her respect is to have the power to act and choose not to out of fear.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Selfishness'''<br>
Renee has no problem with self-interest and a desire for personal gain, but she draws a stark line with people who live their lives at the detriment of others.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Pirates'''<br>
Renee appreciates the history of piracy Limsa had to claw out of and is openly hostile to people who romanticise it and worse to those who would try to bring it back.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Racism'''<br>
Between being an adventurer and having grown up in a city with few Elezen, Renee has little tolerance for those with little tolerance.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''The word "motherly"'''<br>
For however much she might like whatever the word might represent, it being used to describe her makes her uncomfortable on a deep, visceral level.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>MOTIVATION</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Security'''<br>
The Becquerels are a family of the dead and dying and Renee's own life has been defined by a great deal of aimlessness. She eagerly seeks to have a place of her own, both literal and figurative, where she can settle down to a peaceful, prosperous life.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Redemption'''<br>
Renee walks around with her fair share of regrets for decisions made in the past. While she's emotionally balanced enough they don't bog her down, she has an inherent desire to prove to herself that she is, in fact, a truly worthwhile person.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Love'''<br>
A passionate idealist, Renee's a true romantic and values love as not just the gratification of another, but an ideal truly worthy of earnest pursuit. She cares about loving and earning the love of those she cares about.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Self-Control'''<br>
As something she once had a desperate lack of, Renee puts a great deal of weight on self-control and maintaining it within reason, but that doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy life. Renee eagerly seeks a life of...</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Hedonism'''<br>
A trait she's always had and, for a time, suffered for. Whether she's an earnest and passionate bon vivant or a demented and mentally-unwell lecher might be up for debate, but Renee values the chance to live her life well and share the pleasures of that life with others.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>STRENGTHS</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Tenacious'''<br>
A quality that's defined much of her later life and earned her standing in the Maelstrom. Renee is deliberate about when she engages in conflict, but when she does, she draws stark lines and is willing, if not always eager, to make decisions, come what consequences may.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Loyal'''<br>
Though she tries to be at least genial with most everyone she meets, Renee rarely gives others the benefit of her intensely trusting loyalty. To those she does, it is an earnest bond and one that is desperately hard to break and rarely broken without dire cost.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Passionate'''<br>
When anyone or anything manages to gain her true affections, Renee's overwhelming earnestness is either an incredible boon or a terribly obnoxious problem. This is especially the case with people she believes need her protection, guidance, or otherwise meddling.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Intelligent'''<br>
Being quick-witted and well-educated makes Renee a strong thinker with a tendency to delve into the philosophical. On the battlefield, Renee is a deliberate tactician who rarely leaps into a fray without a well-formed and flexible plan.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Socially Deft'''<br>
If nothing else and when it doesn't violate her devotion to an honest life, Renee is capable of practised social grace and considerable charisma or, failing that, considerable superficial charm and outright manipulation.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Confident'''<br>
She's aware of her flaws, even pride, but she believes strongly in herself as a good, worthwhile person. The confidence she shows extends far beyond superficial bravado.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>WEAKNESSES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Prideful'''<br>
For better or worse and often worse, Renee believes herself inherently better than most people. While she has her talents and usually keeps this fault in check, it is entirely possible for her self-righteous habits to come through and rarely do they do so in a way that inspires more confidence than aggravation in others.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Meddling'''<br>
While it might be born out of caring for people, Renee has a terrible and terribly obnoxious habit of meddling in the lives of those she feels a combination of worthy, interesting, and needy.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Jealous'''<br>
Renee's jealousy goes hand-in-hand with her deep trust. She's protective of what and who she considers hers and, for how much she cares about loving and being loved, fears the loss of those very loved ones.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Occasionally Tactless'''<br>
Appreciating open honesty has its downsides. While rarely oafish, Renee tires quickly of showing "unnecessary" grace to people she considers fools and will gladly deliver hard, honest truths just to be done with a frustrating issue. This rarely actually makes anything better.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Introspective'''<br>
Being aware of this fault, she seeks the company of those she has some intimate connection with, but her pride often gets the best of her and causes her to fail to fully divulge in just what way she's suffering. When this happens, she tends to pull away from people, dwell on her discomfort, and succumb to a grim moodiness.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>QUIRKS</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''"Flowery"'''<br>
From ornate speaking habits, to wild gestures of her hands, and to how she dresses, Renee is especially showy. Whether or not it's ridiculous ostentation or simply a genuine love of theatrics is impossible to tell for sure, but it's a presentation she lowers only when matters require she dial herself down from a solid 11.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Intensely Spiritual'''<br>
Much of Renee's adult life has been defined by the spiritual and it shows. She measures problems in equal parts between mortal concerns and those of a "higher" nature. An experience with either death or near-death only intensified this.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Handsy'''<br>
There's a point between "fond acquaintance" and "dear friend" where Renee becomes really quite uncomfortable and cares little for personal space.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Lacks Self-Control'''<br>
In some areas of her life, Renee possesses incredible discipline and self-control. In other areas of her life, that is absolutely, positively not the case. Her waistline is doubtlessly a clue to one of those areas.</div>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #5a1d33;font-size:20px;color:#ece8bd;letter-spacing:0.2em;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;font-weight:bold;">COMBAT</div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 10px 15px;">Renee is a surprisingly deadly combatant, making up for what she lacks in certain areas of physicality with a calm, tactical mind, brutal efficiency, and, when necessary, overwhelming force utterly divorced from any concept of proportional response. Renee took up the gun with the spread of modern mechanics as the product of combining Lominsan tactics and Ishgardian technology. Though her technical technical as a machinist don't set her ahead of her field, her aim with and understanding of firearms makes up for her shortcomings in the more cutting-edge aspects of her field.

While she does have some cursory training in other weapons and the sword in particular, this training serves largely as a means of exercise and general combat practise. Her field of expertise is absolutely ranged combat and she relies heavily on the tactics of that speciality. What sets her apart as a combatant is a well-focused calm, eschewing anger and instead focusing on the task at hand with a calm and usually lethal intent. Renee is well aware of her abilities in direct combat and while that is indeed a weakness, she makes it a very difficult to exploit it usually by engaging in tactics many might call unfair.

In terms of both her abilities in combat and her general personality, Renee does not take well to light scraps or, in fact, "honourable" combat. She relies on stealth, the element of surprise, efficiency, and even what some might call actual cheating to ensure victory. Certainly, Renee is not at all embracing the expectations that come with her appearance as a means to get close and land a decisive blow before a fight even begins in earnest. Her attitude towards combat as a lawless affair that must be ended as swiftly as possible goes a long way to explain just why she so eagerly avoids prolonged violence until absolutely necessary.</div></div>

<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Aye, Becquerel? I knew that gawky shite a good epoch back. More charm than wits with that one, got run out of Limsa after years of chasing women and laying with the wrong fathers' daughters. Got that 'appetite' under control well enough now, though.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Captain Becquerel's a fine officer, certainly, but uh... Well I did hear she almost throw a private off a bridge for questioning orders direct from the Admiral. Only almost! She's wonderfully loyal to the thalassocracy, maybe a little rabid, but... Well, yes, very loyal!”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a junior officer stationed at the Aftcastle</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “She's a fine enough woman, isn't she? But she's ''not'', though. I knew that Becquerel back when he was still Renaud, oh was he a charmer and he had hands like you wouldn't believe... Not right though, is it? Nobody who loves themselves that much changes like that for nothing. Damned suspicious, if you ask me.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Don't rightly know why she's in the Maelstrom. See this bow? It's a genuine Becquerel! Sold it to me herself, 'patriot's discount' she said! Hells, I beat a half-dead fishback the rest of the way with the damned thing and it still works a treat! Can't tell you what she learned in Gridania, but be damned if Limsa don't need more woodworkers of her grade.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “Becquerel? I worked with him or, rather, ''her'' isn't it now? Certainly fine work from an outsider and a good deal more trustworthy than a lot of adventurers before the Calamity, if not quite as skilled. Really thought they were going to settle down and stay, join up with the Gods' Quiver. Good sort, they are, if a bit brutal. 'Tis rare to see an outsider hunt the Coerlclaw so viciously.

<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “Madame Becquerel? I repaired her roof, you know. The woman's an absolute terror, even if she is every bit of a hundred years old. Suppose that's Ishgardians for you, isn't it? Even when they leave the place for good, they take a little bit of it with them, don't they? Related to those weird Valentione folk as I hear it told!

After what happened with Shyrdoenwyn, Becquerel nearly getting done in by his own first mate... The man was ''dead'', let me tell you. You don't bleed that much and live. He got back on his feet, sure enough, but you spend that many moons having to work just to breathe while putting that much into trying to fix your First Mate? Little wonder he took it so hard when she died. I'm damned surprised he didn't die a second time. I probably wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror either, but then...

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 10px 15px;">'''Renee Georgette Becquerel''' is, in at least some ways, the ideal modern citizen of Limsa Lominsa. A Captain and former field soldier with a passion for her homeland and her countrymen, Renee turned from away from the death and chaos of combat to follow more "civilian" pursuits. An artisan, a scholar, a businesswoman, and the head of a household and free company that enables others who still take to the field, Renee's position is one that tends to be more supportive.

Though her smile is easy and she's fond of the comforts of peace and stability, Renee is no simple, doting maternal figure unused to or wholly uncomfortable with conflict. Her smile is one that can easily turn to a fanged, predatory thing. As soft as her words can be, they can just as freely come dripping with venom. Even in spite of her roundly overfed and overpampered figure, she's hardly a pushover in a fight. Still, the steel and fire she has is usually kept well-hidden by a keen if occasionally snide wit and a well-groomed presentation that sometimes borders on transparent arrogance.

There may be a temptation to say she's of two minds or even duplicitous, but Renee is simply someone who draws clear boundaries in her life and as much as she would rather revel in all the comforts and joys of a peaceful, conflict-free life, her personality has been shaped by mistakes, war, trauma, and loss. She knows far too well the cost of not enforcing the lines she draws both for herself and for others.<br><br>
<div></div>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #5a1d33;font-size:20px;color:#ece8bd;letter-spacing:0.2em;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;font-weight:bold;">APPEARANCE</div></div>
<div></div></div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 15px;">As is the case for everyone to the point it's silly to say, Renee's appearance is shaped by the life she leads. In the transition from a battle-hardened soldier and adventurer, her figure has changed from one that once obviously carried a great deal of power beneath a some slight extra curve. At six fulm and every bit of four hundred and sixty ponze, she is conspicuous in her lack of height and likely considerably more conspicuous in her excess of width, no longer the product of long journeys to distant trials and far more the product of short journeys to nearby pastries. Beneath her girth, there's the hearty bearing one would expect from someone with her past and while her pearish build lends itself to a swaggering waddle with enough power to it to suggest there's some hidden strength to make up for what she certainly lacks in speed.

Her face is plump with features that run a little long and easily carry a smile, sometimes one earnest and genuine, sometimes one too sharp and playful to be taken seriously. Smiling, grinning, laughing thing that she is, she can just as easily take to a stern, stony stare at a moment's notice. Her sharp, cunning eyes are mismatched; one green and the other brown and sit beneath. Her brow is fine and often crooked to match whatever snotty expression she's on the verge of deploying to the misfortune of anyone nearby.

The darkness and faint duskiness of Renee's skin suggest a mixed heritage, something that was likely never an issue in Limsa Lominsa even if she's just a shade too dark to seem as though it's only a deep tan. Though she has a few small nicks and scars, save for two, they're all fine and faint enough to escape notice. The worst among them, however, are not so fine and faint. Just beneath the left side of her collarbone and with a matching partner on her back, Renee bears a thick and yet oddly neat scar the perfect size to suggest having been run through by a sword and rather neatly so at that. The wound it caused was undoubtedly a grievous one and that she lives at all is surely a commentary on her good fortune and the skills of her healer more than any personal fortitude on her part.

While she maintains a varied wardrobe of clothing and even armour, Renee's fashion sense only occasionally nears the elegant and more often tends towards showy and extravagant. Sweeping coats, both bold and pastel colours, deep necks, and ample jewellery contrast against choices in materials that are luxurious more for their comfort than simply their cost. The same care for her clothing carries over to her grooming with well-tended skin, nails, and hair, the last of which is beginning to turn silver far too early for her age though the streak of lighter hair is almost always hidden by dye. Usually lingering around her is the scent of floral perfume, moisturising oils, and a faint hint of fragrant tobacco, making her presence just that much more obnoxious.<br><br>

<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>LIKES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Honesty'''<br>
Above all else, Renee values honesty and lives a philosophy centred around the idea and ideal of its pursuit, dedicated to it to the point that she avoids actively deceiving others at all costs.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Music'''<br>
Not just a bard, but a Limsan and the child of a sailor, Renee generally prefers singing and harps as both make for easy travel. Rarely, she can be found wielding a fiddle.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Writing'''<br>
Believing herself partially responsible for the future of the bardic arts, Renee is a hoarder of fantastic-yet-true stories.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Woodworking'''<br>
An artefact of her time in the Shroud, Renee is a carpenter of considerable artistic talent and, upon returning to Limsa Lominsa, learned the skills of a shipwright.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Limsa Lominsa'''<br>
Patriotic nearly to a fault, Renee believes deeply in both the might and right of her homeland. She is deeply loyal to the thalassocracy, its Admiral, and the rule of law they represent.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''The word "motherly"'''<br>
Renee's attitude towards much of The Coral Sea, the membership of the same, and a few of her personal friends has taken a fairly parental turn as she's managed to slowly mature to the point a few have called her out on it. She can't help but feel it's proof she's actually matured as a person.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>DISLIKES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Dishonesty'''<br>
Be it people causing harm by lying to others or causing harm by lying to themselves, Renee openly dislikes people who live their lives without at least passing regard to the value of honesty.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Cowardice'''<br>
Renee will readily encourage people who can't fight for themselves to think of their own safety, but one of the easiest ways to lose her respect is to have the power to act and choose not to out of fear.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Selfishness'''<br>
Renee has no problem with self-interest and a desire for personal gain, but she draws a stark line with people who live their lives at the detriment of others.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Pirates'''<br>
Renee appreciates the history of piracy Limsa had to claw out of and is openly hostile to people who romanticise it and worse to those who would try to bring it back.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Racism'''<br>
Between being an adventurer and having grown up in a city with few Elezen, Renee has little tolerance for those with little tolerance.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''The word "motherly"'''<br>
For however much she might like whatever the word might represent, it being used to describe her makes her uncomfortable on a deep, visceral level.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>MOTIVATION</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Security'''<br>
The Becquerels are a family of the dead and dying and Renee's own life has been defined by a great deal of aimlessness. She eagerly seeks to have a place of her own, both literal and figurative, where she can settle down to a peaceful, prosperous life.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Redemption'''<br>
Renee walks around with her fair share of regrets for decisions made in the past. While she's emotionally balanced enough they don't bog her down, she has an inherent desire to prove to herself that she is, in fact, a truly worthwhile person.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Love'''<br>
A passionate idealist, Renee's a true romantic and values love as not just the gratification of another, but an ideal truly worthy of earnest pursuit. She cares about loving and earning the love of those she cares about.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Self-Control'''<br>
As something she once had a desperate lack of, Renee puts a great deal of weight on self-control and maintaining it within reason, but that doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy life. Renee eagerly seeks a life of...</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Hedonism'''<br>
A trait she's always had and, for a time, suffered for. Whether she's an earnest and passionate bon vivant or a demented and mentally-unwell lecher might be up for debate, but Renee values the chance to live her life well and share the pleasures of that life with others.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>STRENGTHS</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Tenacious'''<br>
A quality that's defined much of her later life and earned her standing in the Maelstrom. Renee is deliberate about when she engages in conflict, but when she does, she draws stark lines and is willing, if not always eager, to make decisions, come what consequences may.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Loyal'''<br>
Though she tries to be at least genial with most everyone she meets, Renee rarely gives others the benefit of her intensely trusting loyalty. To those she does, it is an earnest bond and one that is desperately hard to break and rarely broken without dire cost.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Passionate'''<br>
When anyone or anything manages to gain her true affections, Renee's overwhelming earnestness is either an incredible boon or a terribly obnoxious problem. This is especially the case with people she believes need her protection, guidance, or otherwise meddling.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Intelligent'''<br>
Being quick-witted and well-educated makes Renee a strong thinker with a tendency to delve into the philosophical. On the battlefield, Renee is a deliberate tactician who rarely leaps into a fray without a well-formed and flexible plan.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Socially Deft'''<br>
If nothing else and when it doesn't violate her devotion to an honest life, Renee is capable of practised social grace and considerable charisma or, failing that, considerable superficial charm and outright manipulation.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Confident'''<br>
She's aware of her flaws, even pride, but she believes strongly in herself as a good, worthwhile person. The confidence she shows extends far beyond superficial bravado.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>WEAKNESSES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Prideful'''<br>
For better or worse and often worse, Renee believes herself inherently better than most people. While she has her talents and usually keeps this fault in check, it is entirely possible for her self-righteous habits to come through and rarely do they do so in a way that inspires more confidence than aggravation in others.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Meddling'''<br>
While it might be born out of caring for people, Renee has a terrible and terribly obnoxious habit of meddling in the lives of those she feels a combination of worthy, interesting, and needy.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Jealous'''<br>
Renee's jealousy goes hand-in-hand with her deep trust. She's protective of what and who she considers hers and, for how much she cares about loving and being loved, fears the loss of those very loved ones.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Occasionally Tactless'''<br>
Appreciating open honesty has its downsides. While rarely oafish, Renee tires quickly of showing "unnecessary" grace to people she considers fools and will gladly deliver hard, honest truths just to be done with a frustrating issue. This rarely actually makes anything better.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Introspective'''<br>
Being aware of this fault, she seeks the company of those she has some intimate connection with, but her pride often gets the best of her and causes her to fail to fully divulge in just what way she's suffering. When this happens, she tends to pull away from people, dwell on her discomfort, and succumb to a grim moodiness.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>QUIRKS</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''"Flowery"'''<br>
From ornate speaking habits, to wild gestures of her hands, and to how she dresses, Renee is especially showy. Whether or not it's ridiculous ostentation or simply a genuine love of theatrics is impossible to tell for sure, but it's a presentation she lowers only when matters require she dial herself down from a solid 11.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Intensely Spiritual'''<br>
Much of Renee's adult life has been defined by the spiritual and it shows. She measures problems in equal parts between mortal concerns and those of a "higher" nature. An experience with either death or near-death only intensified this.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Handsy'''<br>
There's a point between "fond acquaintance" and "dear friend" where Renee becomes really quite uncomfortable and cares little for personal space.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Lacks Self-Control'''<br>
In some areas of her life, Renee possesses incredible discipline and self-control. In other areas of her life, that is absolutely, positively not the case. Her waistline is doubtlessly a clue to one of those areas.</div>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #5a1d33;font-size:20px;color:#ece8bd;letter-spacing:0.2em;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;font-weight:bold;">COMBAT</div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 10px 15px;">Renee is a surprisingly deadly combatant, making up for what she lacks in certain areas of physicality with a calm, tactical mind, brutal efficiency, and, when necessary, overwhelming force utterly divorced from any concept of proportional response. Renee took up the gun with the spread of modern mechanics as the product of combining Lominsan tactics and Ishgardian technology. Though her technical technical as a machinist don't set her ahead of her field, her aim with and understanding of firearms makes up for her shortcomings in the more cutting-edge aspects of her field.

While she does have some cursory training in other weapons and the sword in particular, this training serves largely as a means of exercise and general combat practise. Her field of expertise is absolutely ranged combat and she relies heavily on the tactics of that speciality. What sets her apart as a combatant is a well-focused calm, eschewing anger and instead focusing on the task at hand with a calm and usually lethal intent. Renee is well aware of her abilities in direct combat and while that is indeed a weakness, she makes it a very difficult to exploit it usually by engaging in tactics many might call unfair.

In terms of both her abilities in combat and her general personality, Renee does not take well to light scraps or, in fact, "honourable" combat. She relies on stealth, the element of surprise, efficiency, and even what some might call actual cheating to ensure victory. Certainly, Renee is not at all embracing the expectations that come with her appearance as a means to get close and land a decisive blow before a fight even begins in earnest. Her attitude towards combat as a lawless affair that must be ended as swiftly as possible goes a long way to explain just why she so eagerly avoids prolonged violence until absolutely necessary.</div></div>

<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Aye, Becquerel? I knew that gawky shite a good epoch back. More charm than wits with that one, got run out of Limsa after years of chasing women and laying with the wrong fathers' daughters. Got that 'appetite' under control well enough now, though.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Captain Becquerel's a fine officer, certainly, but uh... Well I did hear she almost throw a private off a bridge for questioning orders direct from the Admiral. Only almost! She's wonderfully loyal to the thalassocracy, maybe a little rabid, but... Well, yes, very loyal!”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a junior officer stationed at the Aftcastle</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “She's a fine enough woman, isn't she? But she's ''not'', though. I knew that Becquerel back when he was still Renaud, oh was he a charmer and he had hands like you wouldn't believe... Not right though, is it? Nobody who loves themselves that much changes like that for nothing. Damned suspicious, if you ask me.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Don't rightly know why she's in the Maelstrom. See this bow? It's a genuine Becquerel! Sold it to me herself, 'patriot's discount' she said! Hells, I beat a half-dead fishback the rest of the way with the damned thing and it still works a treat! Can't tell you what she learned in Gridania, but be damned if Limsa don't need more woodworkers of her grade.”<br>

Certainly fine work from an outsider and a good deal more trustworthy than a lot of adventurers before the Calamity, if not quite as skilled. Really thought they were going to settle down and stay, join up with the Gods' Quiver. Good sort, they are, if a bit brutal. 'Tis rare to see an outsider hunt the Coerlclaw so viciously.

After what happened with Shyrdoenwyn, Becquerel nearly getting done in by his own first mate... The man was ''dead'', let me tell you. You don't bleed that much and live. He got back on his feet, sure enough, but you spend that many moons having to work just to breathe while putting that much into trying to fix your First Mate? Little wonder he took it so hard when she died. I'm damned surprised he didn't die a second time. I probably wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror either, but then...

<div style="margin-top:-20px;font-size:14px;">
: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Annaliese Sellecere]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Met through Giselle, Renee appreciates Annaliese's more serious attitude and appreciates even more that attitude doesn't go far enough to become sour and unpleasant. Between Giselle and Annaliese, Renee has the feeling of actually belonging to a relatively normal social group, even if most of what they do together is smoke, gossip, and meddle in the lives of people who don't want them meddling in their lives.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Chise Tobukizu]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font>/<font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>

: <div> For almost no explicable reason, Renee absolutely adores Chise and feels a genuine, eager love for her. Renee likes the person Chise is but she sees in Chise something she has seen in others and, to a much lesser extent, sees in herself. She seems someone for whom any hope of true normalcy was stolen by war. Worse yet, she sees someone who has been so robbed of any concept of a normal, healthy, stable life that she can't recognise just how unsustainable her own life is. Still, Renee doesn't pity Chise outright, she merely sees Chise's happiness as a kind of personal project, as something good she wants to bring into the world. The obliviousness she feigns around much of Chise's discomfort with open affection is something she believes she does for Chise's sake as, in her mind, the discomfort is nothing more than a kind of growing pain. All her meddling and affection aside, Renee has no real end-game plan for Chise beyond wanting to work with her organisation much in the way the Maelstrom works with the Upright Thieves and obnoxiously intertwining her life with Chise's if for literally no other reason than she really, truly does love the awful creature.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div> Dhemgeim was a friend and a catalyst for an immense amount of change in Renee's life, including some of the most obvious. Though they were wildly different people, Renee viewed their lives as oddly similar, capable of great potential but hampered by deep flaws. It was Renee's experience with Dhemgeim, both in life and in death, that turned her desire to enable the potential of others into a more nurturing and even parental desire to protect the good in others. In death, Dhemgeim holds a unique place in Renee's heart and while she will own the woman's flaws, Renee assertively defends Dhemgeim's memory.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Ehla Selhah]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')</div>
:Almost immediately upon meeting her, Renee was fond of Ehla and that fondness only grew with time and has evolved into a unique and, arguably, uniquely unhealthy relationship. They share much of their senses of humour, though Ehla tends to be the more vindictive of the two. With Ehla's tendency to not just hide the truth but lie outright, Renee dreads the possibility of being unable to tell what from Ehla is true and what isn't, but is fond enough of her to trust her. Being a romantic but not an idiot, Renee is well aware Ehla is deeply flawed but sees her as a victim of circumstances and otherwise a genuinely good person. For better or worse (arguably usually worse), Renee wants little more from Ehla than honesty and love.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Georgette Friloux]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Renee deeply values everything Georgette did for her in her youth. Georgette and the Muse provided Renee a healthy, or at least non-destructive, outlet for what was almost certainly a form of addiction. For better or worse, Renee almost sees Georgette as a role model, an intelligent and generally shrewd woman who knows well how to guard what is hers, whatever her motivations might be.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Giselle Friloux]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Given their almost unseemly similarities, Giselle and Renee made fast friends with one-another. The two have an odd connection through Giselle's mother, Georgette, but met and became friends independently, though their mutual appreciate for the Muse - Georgette's brothel - hastened the growth of their friendship. The bizarre similarities between Renee and Giselle are a frequent subject of discussion and humour, but they write off these similarities as coincidence. They are, in fact, complete idiots.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Jancis Milburga]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Renee appreciates Jancis' seemingly unflinching grace as a diplomat and views her as an almost aspirational figure as Renee believes her to be someone considerably more "normal" than herself while still being uniquely decent.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[L'aenoh Tia]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>An officer of The Coral Sea and a friend. Given his "unique" personality, Renee choosing L'aenoh as an officer lead to some consternation with certain members of the company, but it was a decision Renee has been glad to see validated by a stalwart and surprisingly reliable companion. With L'aenoh having married her sister, Renee accepts the man as a brother.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Reinette Sompt]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font>/<font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Without a doubt, Renee deeply cares for Reinette and aches for every pain the woman feels. To say Renee is in love with Reinette is a massive understatement but Renee is emotionally healthy and generally mature enough to live with her unrequited affections (usually) without inflicting herself on the poor woman any more than she already does with everyone else, though her bias for Reinette often blinds her to the woman's very mortal flaws. With Reinette now serving as Renee's First Officer and Practitioner to The Coral Sea, Renee has taken it upon herself to do what she can to improve Reinette's lot in life and help the woman see the good in herself.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Rinhilda Stonebreaker]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')</div>
: <div>Rinhilda represents the stable, reliable life Renee wants for herself in the long-term. Their relationship started around doing light adventuring work together, but as Rinhilda left the lifestyle of adventuring, Renee started getting an idea of just what it means to live a more "normal" life.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Sarchetseg Horo]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div></div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Staelufre Lysmerl]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Staelufre is one of the one of the first people Renee consistently travelled with and fought alongside as an actual partner. Renee very much views their relationship as familial to the point of calling her sister and grants the Miqo'te no small amount of leeway and favouritism. In spite of whatever Staelufre may see Renee as, Renee sees Staelufre as a peer and a dear companion in life.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Tausenadel Geispsyrsyn]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>An officer of The Coral Sea and someone Renee considers a friend. Renee appreciates Tausenadel's more "sensitive" approach to things and generally tender heart, though it may not always be entirely obvious to him. She's come to show him considerably more patience after the death of his wife, Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn, fully aware of the immense pain he undoubtedly suffers for it. Renee appreciates Tausenadel for having much the same view of Limsa Lominsa and the thalassocracy's current regime as a truly worthy break from Limsa's not-always-upstanding past. Though it is not something she'd put to plain words for fear of embarrassing the man, she views Tausenadel as the kind of man most Limsans should be.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Vilsewaen Steinhoh]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Unlike Staelufre, Renee does not view Vilsewaen as a parental figure but a mentor and a friend. Through Vilsewaen, Renee's already spiritual view of the world deepened and developed into an appreciation of nobler callings than simple security.</div>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #5a1d33;font-size:20px;color:#ece8bd;letter-spacing:0.2em;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;font-weight:bold;">GENERAL INFO</div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 10px 15px;">'''Renee Georgette Becquerel''' is, in at least some ways, the ideal modern citizen of Limsa Lominsa. A Captain and former field soldier with a passion for her homeland and her countrymen, Renee turned from away from the death and chaos of combat to follow more "civilian" pursuits. An artisan, a scholar, a businesswoman, and the head of a household and free company that enables others who still take to the field, Renee's position is one that tends to be more supportive.

Though her smile is easy and she's fond of the comforts of peace and stability, Renee is no simple, doting maternal figure unused to or wholly uncomfortable with conflict. Her smile is one that can easily turn to a fanged, predatory thing. As soft as her words can be, they can just as freely come dripping with venom. Even in spite of her roundly overfed and overpampered figure, she's hardly a pushover in a fight. Still, the steel and fire she has is usually kept well-hidden by a keen if occasionally snide wit and a well-groomed presentation that sometimes borders on transparent arrogance.

There may be a temptation to say she's of two minds or even duplicitous, but Renee is simply someone who draws clear boundaries in her life and as much as she would rather revel in all the comforts and joys of a peaceful, conflict-free life, her personality has been shaped by mistakes, war, trauma, and loss. She knows far too well the cost of not enforcing the lines she draws both for herself and for others.<br><br>
<div></div>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #5a1d33;font-size:20px;color:#ece8bd;letter-spacing:0.2em;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;font-weight:bold;">APPEARANCE</div></div>
<div></div></div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 15px;">As is the case for everyone to the point it's silly to say, Renee's appearance is shaped by the life she leads. In the transition from a battle-hardened soldier and adventurer, her figure has changed from one that once obviously carried a great deal of power beneath a some slight extra curve. At six fulm and every bit of four hundred and sixty ponze, she is conspicuous in her lack of height and likely considerably more conspicuous in her excess of width, no longer the product of long journeys to distant trials and far more the product of short journeys to nearby pastries. Beneath her girth, there's the hearty bearing one would expect from someone with her past and while her pearish build lends itself to a swaggering waddle with enough power to it to suggest there's some hidden strength to make up for what she certainly lacks in speed.

Her face is plump with features features that run a little long and easily carry a smile, sometimes one earnest and genuine, sometimes one too sharp and playful to be taken seriously. Smiling, grinning, laughing thing that she is, she can just as easily take to a stern, stony stare at a moment's notice. Her sharp, cunning eyes are mismatched; one green and the other brown and sit beneath. Her brow is fine and often crooked to match whatever snotty expression she's on the verge of deploying to the misfortune of anyone nearby.

The darkness and faint duskiness of Renee's skin suggest a mixed heritage, something that was likely never an issue in Limsa Lominsa even if she's just a shade too dark to seem as though it's only a deep tan. Though she has a few small nicks and scars, save for two, they're all fine and faint enough to escape notice. The worst among them, however, are not so fine and faint. Just beneath the left side of her collarbone and with a matching partner on her back, Renee bears a thick and yet oddly neat scar the perfect size to suggest having been run through by a sword and rather neatly so at that. The wound it caused was undoubtedly a grievous one and that she lives at all is surely a commentary on her good fortune and the skills of her healer more than any personal fortitude on her part.

While she maintains a varied wardrobe of clothing and even armour, Renee's fashion sense only occasionally nears the elegant and more often tends towards showy and extravagant. Sweeping coats, both bold and pastel colours, deep necks, and ample jewellery contrast against choices in materials that are luxurious more for their comfort than simply their cost. The same care for her clothing carries over to her grooming with well-tended skin, nails, and hair, the last of which is beginning to turn silver far too early for her age though the streak of lighter hair is almost always hidden by dye. Usually lingering around her is the scent of floral perfume, moisturising oils, and a faint hint of fragrant tobacco, making her presence just that much more obnoxious.<br><br>

<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>LIKES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Honesty'''<br>
Above all else, Renee values honesty and lives a philosophy centred around the idea and ideal of its pursuit, dedicated to it to the point that she avoids actively deceiving others at all costs.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Music'''<br>
Not just a bard, but a Limsan and the child of a sailor, Renee generally prefers singing and harps as both make for easy travel. Rarely, she can be found wielding a fiddle.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Writing'''<br>
Believing herself partially responsible for the future of the bardic arts, Renee is a hoarder of fantastic-yet-true stories.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Woodworking'''<br>
An artefact of her time in the Shroud, Renee is a carpenter of considerable artistic talent and, upon returning to Limsa Lominsa, learned the skills of a shipwright.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Limsa Lominsa'''<br>
Patriotic nearly to a fault, Renee believes deeply in both the might and right of her homeland. She is deeply loyal to the thalassocracy, its Admiral, and the rule of law they represent.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''The word "motherly"'''<br>
Renee's attitude towards much of The Coral Sea, the membership of the same, and a few of her personal friends has taken a fairly parental turn as she's managed to slowly mature to the point a few have called her out on it. She can't help but feel it's proof she's actually matured as a person.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>DISLIKES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Dishonesty'''<br>
Be it people causing harm by lying to others or causing harm by lying to themselves, Renee openly dislikes people who live their lives without at least passing regard to the value of honesty.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Cowardice'''<br>
Renee will readily encourage people who can't fight for themselves to think of their own safety, but one of the easiest ways to lose her respect is to have the power to act and choose not to out of fear.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Selfishness'''<br>
Renee has no problem with self-interest and a desire for personal gain, but she draws a stark line with people who live their lives at the detriment of others.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Pirates'''<br>
Renee appreciates the history of piracy Limsa had to claw out of and is openly hostile to people who romanticise it and worse to those who would try to bring it back.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Racism'''<br>
Between being an adventurer and having grown up in a city with few Elezen, Renee has little tolerance for those with little tolerance.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''The word "motherly"'''<br>
For however much she might like whatever the word might represent, it being used to describe her makes her uncomfortable on a deep, visceral level.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>MOTIVATION</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Security'''<br>
The Becquerels are a family of the dead and dying and Renee's own life has been defined by a great deal of aimlessness. She eagerly seeks to have a place of her own, both literal and figurative, where she can settle down to a peaceful, prosperous life.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Redemption'''<br>
Renee walks around with her fair share of regrets for decisions made in the past. While she's emotionally balanced enough they don't bog her down, she has an inherent desire to prove to herself that she is, in fact, a truly worthwhile person.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Love'''<br>
A passionate idealist, Renee's a true romantic and values love as not just the gratification of another, but an ideal truly worthy of earnest pursuit. She cares about loving and earning the love of those she cares about.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Self-Control'''<br>
As something she once had a desperate lack of, Renee puts a great deal of weight on self-control and maintaining it within reason, but that doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy life. Renee eagerly seeks a life of...</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Hedonism'''<br>
A trait she's always had and, for a time, suffered for. Whether she's an earnest and passionate bon vivant or a demented and mentally-unwell lecher might be up for debate, but Renee values the chance to live her life well and share the pleasures of that life with others.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>STRENGTHS</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Tenacious'''<br>
A quality that's defined much of her later life and earned her standing in the Maelstrom. Renee is deliberate about when she engages in conflict, but when she does, she draws stark lines and is willing, if not always eager, to make decisions, come what consequences may.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Loyal'''<br>
Though she tries to be at least genial with most everyone she meets, Renee rarely gives others the benefit of her intensely trusting loyalty. To those she does, it is an earnest bond and one that is desperately hard to break and rarely broken without dire cost.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Passionate'''<br>
When anyone or anything manages to gain her true affections, Renee's overwhelming earnestness is either an incredible boon or a terribly obnoxious problem. This is especially the case with people she believes need her protection, guidance, or otherwise meddling.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Intelligent'''<br>
Being quick-witted and well-educated makes Renee a strong thinker with a tendency to delve into the philosophical. On the battlefield, Renee is a deliberate tactician who rarely leaps into a fray without a well-formed and flexible plan.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Socially Deft'''<br>
If nothing else and when it doesn't violate her devotion to an honest life, Renee is capable of practised social grace and considerable charisma or, failing that, considerable superficial charm and outright manipulation.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Confident'''<br>
She's aware of her flaws, even pride, but she believes strongly in herself as a good, worthwhile person. The confidence she shows extends far beyond superficial bravado.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>WEAKNESSES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Prideful'''<br>
For better or worse and often worse, Renee believes herself inherently better than most people. While she has her talents and usually keeps this fault in check, it is entirely possible for her self-righteous habits to come through and rarely do they do so in a way that inspires more confidence than aggravation in others.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Meddling'''<br>
While it might be born out of caring for people, Renee has a terrible and terribly obnoxious habit of meddling in the lives of those she feels a combination of worthy, interesting, and needy.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Jealous'''<br>
Renee's jealousy goes hand-in-hand with her deep trust. She's protective of what and who she considers hers and, for how much she cares about loving and being loved, fears the loss of those very loved ones.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Occasionally Tactless'''<br>
Appreciating open honesty has its downsides. While rarely oafish, Renee tires quickly of showing "unnecessary" grace to people she considers fools and will gladly deliver hard, honest truths just to be done with a frustrating issue. This rarely actually makes anything better.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Introspective'''<br>
Being aware of this fault, she seeks the company of those she has some intimate connection with, but her pride often gets the best of her and causes her to fail to fully divulge in just what way she's suffering. When this happens, she tends to pull away from people, dwell on her discomfort, and succumb to a grim moodiness.</div>

<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''"Flowery"'''<br>
From ornate speaking habits, to wild gestures of her hands, and to how she dresses, Renee is especially showy. Whether or not it's ridiculous ostentation or simply a genuine love of theatrics is impossible to tell for sure, but it's a presentation she lowers only when matters require she dial herself down from a solid 11.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Intensely Spiritual'''<br>
Much of Renee's adult life has been defined by the spiritual and it shows. She measures problems in equal parts between mortal concerns and those of a "higher" nature. An experience with either death or near-death only intensified this.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Handsy'''<br>
There's a point between "fond acquaintance" and "dear friend" where Renee becomes really quite uncomfortable and cares little for personal space.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Lacks Self-Control'''<br>
In some areas of her life, Renee possesses incredible discipline and self-control. In other areas of her life, that is absolutely, positively not the case. Her waistline is doubtlessly a clue to one of those areas.</div>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #5a1d33;font-size:20px;color:#ece8bd;letter-spacing:0.2em;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;font-weight:bold;">COMBAT</div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 10px 15px;">Renee is a surprisingly deadly combatant, making up for what she lacks in certain areas of physicality with a calm, tactical mind, brutal efficiency, and, when necessary, overwhelming force utterly divorced from any concept of proportional response. Renee took up the gun with the spread of modern mechanics as the product of combining Lominsan tactics and Ishgardian technology. Though her technical technical as a machinist don't set her ahead of her field, her aim with and understanding of firearms makes up for her shortcomings in the more cutting-edge aspects of her field.

While she does have some cursory training in other weapons and the sword in particular, this training serves largely as a means of exercise and general combat practise. Her field of expertise is absolutely ranged combat and she relies heavily on the tactics of that speciality. What sets her apart as a combatant is a well-focused calm, eschewing anger and instead focusing on the task at hand with a calm and usually lethal intent. Renee is well aware of her abilities in direct combat and while that is indeed a weakness, she makes it a very difficult to exploit it usually by engaging in tactics many might call unfair.

In terms of both her abilities in combat and her general personality, Renee does not take well to light scraps or, in fact, "honourable" combat. She relies on stealth, the element of surprise, efficiency, and even what some might call actual cheating to ensure victory. Certainly, Renee is not at all embracing the expectations that come with her appearance as a means to get close and land a decisive blow before a fight even begins in earnest. Her attitude towards combat as a lawless affair that must be ended as swiftly as possible goes a long way to explain just why she so eagerly avoids prolonged violence until absolutely necessary.</div></div>

<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Aye, Becquerel? I knew that gawky shite a good epoch back. More charm than wits with that one, got run out of Limsa after years of chasing women and laying with the wrong fathers' daughters. Got that 'appetite' under control well enough now, though.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a longshoreman in Limsa Lominsa</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Captain Becquerel's a fine officer, certainly, but uh... Well I did hear she almost throw a private off a bridge for questioning orders direct from the Admiral. Only almost! She's wonderfully loyal to the thalassocracy, maybe a little rabid, but... Well, yes, very loyal!”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a junior officer stationed at the Aftcastle</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “She's a fine enough woman, isn't she? But she's ''not'', though. I knew that Becquerel back when he was still Renaud, oh was he a charmer and he had hands like you wouldn't believe... Not right though, is it? Nobody who loves themselves that much changes like that for nothing. Damned suspicious, if you ask me.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a waitress at the Drowning Wench</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Don't rightly know why she's in the Maelstrom. See this bow? It's a genuine Becquerel! Sold it to me herself, 'patriot's discount' she said! Hells, I beat a half-dead fishback the rest of the way with the damned thing and it still works a treat! Can't tell you what she learned in Gridania, but be damned if Limsa don't need more woodworkers of her grade.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- an overly enthusiastic Yellowjacket</font>'''</div>

<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “Becquerel? I worked with him or, rather, ''her'' isn't it now? Certainly fine work from an outsider and a good deal more trustworthy than a lot of adventurers before the Calamity, if not quite as skilled. Really thought they were going to settle down and stay, join up with the Gods' Quiver. Good sort, they are, if a bit brutal. 'Tis rare to see an outsider hunt the Coerlclaw so viciously. Suppose fear's a good a tactic as any.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a member of the Gods' Quiver in the Carline Canopy</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “What, the dark-skinned, loud, 'Wildwood' with too much jewellery? Surely you mean that Friloux woman, don't you? Oh, I suppose that could be Becquerel, too, but really, it's half-dozen of one, six of the other, isn't it? Even look alike... huh.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a merchant in Ul'dah selling imported bows</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “Madame Becquerel? I repaired her roof, you know. The woman's an absolute terror, even if she is every bit of a hundred years old. Suppose that's Ishgardians for you, isn't it? Even when they leave the place for good, they take a little bit of it with them, don't they? Related to those weird Valentione folk as I hear it told! Wait, you mean her grandchild? Hells, don't much know them.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a carpenter in Gridania</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “Oh, aye, I know the Apkallu. Good sort, good sort, true and true, real bleedin' heart and all that, but hells. Y'ever seen the inside o' a pirate, like after gettin' flayed and left t' rot in th' sun? I have... After Becquerel got their mitts on 'em.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a drunken Lalafell drinking with a group of Maelstrom veterans in Limsa Lominsa</font>'''</div>

<div><font style="color:#706b68;">■</font> “I knew Vivienne and Beauvissoix, Thal keep them, lovely folk they were, died fighting at Carteneau. But their child? Could've come from Vivienne's stock, sure enough, she was a bit of a mix herself, but I knew her damned well and she was barren, couldn't conceive. Now I don't know many dark-skinned Elezen Beauvissoix was close to, but I do know a certain brothel owner who was friend to both of them.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- an older Roegadyn woman claiming to be a deckhand of The Coral Sea, the ''original'' one</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#706b68;">■</font> “Captain Becquerel's a good officer, certainly, and a fine example of why we let our officers have such free reign, but she's not nearly as smooth as that grin of hers would have you think. After what happened with Shyrdoenwyn, Becquerel nearly getting done in by his own first mate... The man was ''dead'', let me tell you. You don't bleed that much and live. He got back on his feet, sure enough, but you spend that many moons having to work just to breathe while putting that much into trying to fix your First Mate? Little wonder he took it so hard when she died. I'm damned surprised he didn't die a second time. I probably wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror either, but then... She doesn't have to see that old face anymore, does she?”<br>

<div style="margin-top:-20px;font-size:14px;">
: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Annaliese Sellecere]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Met through Giselle, Renee appreciates Annaliese's more serious attitude and appreciates even more that attitude doesn't go far enough to become sour and unpleasant. Between Giselle and Annaliese, Renee has the feeling of actually belonging to a relatively normal social group, even if most of what they do together is smoke, gossip, and meddle in the lives of people who don't want them meddling in their lives.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Chise Tobukizu]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font>/<font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>

: <div> For almost no explicable reason, Renee absolutely adores Chise and feels a genuine, eager love for her. Renee likes the person Chise is but she sees in Chise something she has seen in others and, to a much lesser extent, sees in herself. She seems someone for whom any hope of true normalcy was stolen by war. Worse yet, she sees someone who has been so robbed of any concept of a normal, healthy, stable life that she can't recognise just how unsustainable her own life is. Still, Renee doesn't pity Chise outright, she merely sees Chise's happiness as a kind of personal project, as something good she wants to bring into the world. The obliviousness she feigns around much of Chise's discomfort with open affection is something she believes she does for Chise's sake as, in her mind, the discomfort is nothing more than a kind of growing pain. All her meddling and affection aside, Renee has no real end-game plan for Chise beyond wanting to work with her organisation much in the way the Maelstrom works with the Upright Thieves and obnoxiously intertwining her life with Chise's if for literally no other reason than she really, truly does love the awful creature.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div> Dhemgeim was a friend and a catalyst for an immense amount of change in Renee's life, including some of the most obvious. Though they were wildly different people, Renee viewed their lives as oddly similar, capable of great potential but hampered by deep flaws. It was Renee's experience with Dhemgeim, both in life and in death, that turned her desire to enable the potential of others into a more nurturing and even parental desire to protect the good in others. In death, Dhemgeim holds a unique place in Renee's heart and while she will own the woman's flaws, Renee assertively defends Dhemgeim's memory.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Ehla Selhah]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')</div>
:Almost immediately upon meeting her, Renee was fond of Ehla and that fondness only grew with time and has evolved into a unique and, arguably, uniquely unhealthy relationship. They share much of their senses of humour, though Ehla tends to be the more vindictive of the two. With Ehla's tendency to not just hide the truth but lie outright, Renee dreads the possibility of being unable to tell what from Ehla is true and what isn't, but is fond enough of her to trust her. Being a romantic but not an idiot, Renee is well aware Ehla is deeply flawed but sees her as a victim of circumstances and otherwise a genuinely good person. For better or worse (arguably usually worse), Renee wants little more from Ehla than honesty and love.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Georgette Friloux]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Renee deeply values everything Georgette did for her in her youth. Georgette and the Muse provided Renee a healthy, or at least non-destructive, outlet for what was almost certainly a form of addiction. For better or worse, Renee almost sees Georgette as a role model, an intelligent and generally shrewd woman who knows well how to guard what is hers, whatever her motivations might be.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Giselle Friloux]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Given their almost unseemly similarities, Giselle and Renee made fast friends with one-another. The two have an odd connection through Giselle's mother, Georgette, but met and became friends independently, though their mutual appreciate for the Muse - Georgette's brothel - hastened the growth of their friendship. The bizarre similarities between Renee and Giselle are a frequent subject of discussion and humour, but they write off these similarities as coincidence. They are, in fact, complete idiots.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Jancis Milburga]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Renee appreciates Jancis' seemingly unflinching grace as a diplomat and views her as an almost aspirational figure as Renee believes her to be someone considerably more "normal" than herself while still being uniquely decent.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[L'aenoh Tia]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>An officer of The Coral Sea and a friend. Given his "unique" personality, Renee choosing L'aenoh as an officer lead to some consternation with certain members of the company, but it was a decision Renee has been glad to see validated by a stalwart and surprisingly reliable companion. With L'aenoh having married her sister, Renee accepts the man as a brother.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Reinette Sompt]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font>/<font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Without a doubt, Renee deeply cares for Reinette and aches for every pain the woman feels. To say Renee is in love with Reinette is a massive understatement but Renee is emotionally healthy and generally mature enough to live with her unrequited affections (usually) without inflicting herself on the poor woman any more than she already does with everyone else, though her bias for Reinette often blinds her to the woman's very mortal flaws. With Reinette now serving as Renee's First Officer and Practitioner to The Coral Sea, Renee has taken it upon herself to do what she can to improve Reinette's lot in life and help the woman see the good in herself.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Rinhilda Stonebreaker]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')</div>
: <div>Rinhilda represents the stable, reliable life Renee wants for herself in the long-term. Their relationship started around doing light adventuring work together, but as Rinhilda left the lifestyle of adventuring, Renee started getting an idea of just what it means to live a more "normal" life.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Sarchetseg Horo]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div></div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Staelufre Lysmerl]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Staelufre is one of the one of the first people Renee consistently travelled with and fought alongside as an actual partner. Renee very much views their relationship as familial to the point of calling her sister and grants the Miqo'te no small amount of leeway and favouritism. In spite of whatever Staelufre may see Renee as, Renee sees Staelufre as a peer and a dear companion in life.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Tausenadel Geispsyrsyn]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>An officer of The Coral Sea and someone Renee considers a friend. Renee appreciates Tausenadel's more "sensitive" approach to things and generally tender heart, though it may not always be entirely obvious to him. She's come to show him considerably more patience after the death of his wife, Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn, fully aware of the immense pain he undoubtedly suffers for it. Renee appreciates Tausenadel for having much the same view of Limsa Lominsa and the thalassocracy's current regime as a truly worthy break from Limsa's not-always-upstanding past. Though it is not something she'd put to plain words for fear of embarrassing the man, she views Tausenadel as the kind of man most Limsans should be.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Vilsewaen Steinhoh]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Unlike Staelufre, Renee does not view Vilsewaen as a parental figure but a mentor and a friend. Through Vilsewaen, Renee's already spiritual view of the world deepened and developed into an appreciation of nobler callings than simple security.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 10px 15px;">'''Renee Georgette Becquerel''' is, in at least some ways, the ideal modern citizen of Limsa Lominsa. A Captain and former field soldier with a passion for her homeland and her countrymen, Renee turned from away from the death and chaos of combat to follow more "civilian" pursuits. An artisan, a scholar, a businesswoman, and the head of a household and free company that enables others who still take to the field, Renee's position is one that tends to be more supportive.

Though her smile is easy and she's fond of the comforts of peace and stability, Renee is no simple, doting maternal figure unused to or wholly uncomfortable with conflict. Her smile is one that can easily turn to a fanged, predatory thing. As soft as her words can be, they can just as freely come dripping with venom. Even in spite of her roundly overfed and overpampered figure, she's hardly a pushover in a fight. Still, the steel and fire she has is usually kept well-hidden by a keen if occasionally snide wit and a well-groomed presentation that sometimes borders on transparent arrogance.

There may be a temptation to say she's of two minds or even duplicitous, but Renee is simply someone who draws clear boundaries in her life and as much as she would rather revel in all the comforts and joys of a peaceful, conflict-free life, her personality has been shaped by mistakes, war, trauma, and loss. She knows far too well the cost of not enforcing the lines she draws both for herself and for others.<br>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #5a1d33;font-size:20px;color:#ece8bd;letter-spacing:0.2em;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;font-weight:bold;">APPEARANCE</div></div>
<div style="float:left;margin:15px;border:1px solid #180618;width:300px;background:#ece8bd;">
<div><div align=left><div style="height:425px;width:300px;">[[File:Renee_Appearance.png]]</div></div></div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 15px;">As is the case for everyone to the point it's silly to say, Renee's appearance is shaped by the life she leads. In the transition from a battle-hardened soldier and adventurer, her figure has changed from one that once obviously carried a great deal of power beneath a some slight extra curve. At six fulm and every bit of four hundred and sixty ponze, she is conspicuous in her lack of height and likely considerably more conspicuous in her excess of width, no longer the product of long journeys to distant trials and far more the product of short journeys to nearby pastries. Beneath her girth, there's the hearty bearing one would expect from someone with her past and while her pearish build lends itself to a swaggering waddle with enough power to it to suggest there's some hidden strength to make up for what she certainly lacks in speed.

Her face is plump with features features that run a little long and easily carry a smile, sometimes one earnest and genuine, sometimes one too sharp and playful to be taken seriously. Smiling, grinning, laughing thing that she is, she can just as easily take to a stern, stony stare at a moment's notice. Her sharp, cunning eyes are mismatched; one green and the other brown and sit beneath. Her brow is fine and often crooked to match whatever snotty expression she's on the verge of deploying to the misfortune of anyone nearby.

The darkness and faint duskiness of Renee's skin suggest a mixed heritage, something that was likely never an issue in Limsa Lominsa even if she's just a shade too dark to seem as though it's only a deep tan. Though she has a few small nicks and scars, save for two, they're all fine and faint enough to escape notice. The worst among them, however, are not so fine and faint. Just beneath the left side of her collarbone and with a matching partner on her back, Renee bears a thick and yet oddly neat scar the perfect size to suggest having been run through by a sword and rather neatly so at that. The wound it caused was undoubtedly a grievous one and that she lives at all is surely a commentary on her good fortune and the skills of her healer more than any personal fortitude on her part.

While she maintains a varied wardrobe of clothing and even armour, Renee's fashion sense only occasionally nears the elegant and more often tends towards showy and extravagant. Sweeping coats, both bold and pastel colours, deep necks, and ample jewellery contrast against choices in materials that are luxurious more for their comfort than simply their cost. The same care for her clothing carries over to her grooming with well-tended skin, nails, and hair, the last of which is beginning to turn silver far too early for her age though the streak of lighter hair is almost always hidden by dye. Usually lingering around her is the scent of floral perfume, moisturising oils, and a faint hint of fragrant tobacco, making her presence just that much more obnoxious.

<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>LIKES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Honesty'''<br>
Above all else, Renee values honesty and lives a philosophy centred around the idea and ideal of its pursuit, dedicated to it to the point that she avoids actively deceiving others at all costs.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Music'''<br>
Not just a bard, but a Limsan and the child of a sailor, Renee generally prefers singing and harps as both make for easy travel. Rarely, she can be found wielding a fiddle.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Writing'''<br>
Believing herself partially responsible for the future of the bardic arts, Renee is a hoarder of fantastic-yet-true stories.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Woodworking'''<br>
An artefact of her time in the Shroud, Renee is a carpenter of considerable artistic talent and, upon returning to Limsa Lominsa, learned the skills of a shipwright.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Limsa Lominsa'''<br>
Patriotic nearly to a fault, Renee believes deeply in both the might and right of her homeland. She is deeply loyal to the thalassocracy, its Admiral, and the rule of law they represent.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''The word "motherly"'''<br>
Renee's attitude towards much of The Coral Sea, the membership of the same, and a few of her personal friends has taken a fairly parental turn as she's managed to slowly mature to the point a few have called her out on it. She can't help but feel it's proof she's actually matured as a person.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>DISLIKES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Dishonesty'''<br>
Be it people causing harm by lying to others or causing harm by lying to themselves, Renee openly dislikes people who live their lives without at least passing regard to the value of honesty.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Cowardice'''<br>
Renee will readily encourage people who can't fight for themselves to think of their own safety, but one of the easiest ways to lose her respect is to have the power to act and choose not to out of fear.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Selfishness'''<br>
Renee has no problem with self-interest and a desire for personal gain, but she draws a stark line with people who live their lives at the detriment of others.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Pirates'''<br>
Renee appreciates the history of piracy Limsa had to claw out of and is openly hostile to people who romanticise it and worse to those who would try to bring it back.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Racism'''<br>
Between being an adventurer and having grown up in a city with few Elezen, Renee has little tolerance for those with little tolerance.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''The word "motherly"'''<br>
For however much she might like whatever the word might represent, it being used to describe her makes her uncomfortable on a deep, visceral level.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>MOTIVATION</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Security'''<br>
The Becquerels are a family of the dead and dying and Renee's own life has been defined by a great deal of aimlessness. She eagerly seeks to have a place of her own, both literal and figurative, where she can settle down to a peaceful, prosperous life.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Redemption'''<br>
Renee walks around with her fair share of regrets for decisions made in the past. While she's emotionally balanced enough they don't bog her down, she has an inherent desire to prove to herself that she is, in fact, a truly worthwhile person.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Love'''<br>
A passionate idealist, Renee's a true romantic and values love as not just the gratification of another, but an ideal truly worthy of earnest pursuit. She cares about loving and earning the love of those she cares about.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Self-Control'''<br>
As something she once had a desperate lack of, Renee puts a great deal of weight on self-control and maintaining it within reason, but that doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy life. Renee eagerly seeks a life of...</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Hedonism'''<br>
A trait she's always had and, for a time, suffered for. Whether she's an earnest and passionate bon vivant or a demented and mentally-unwell lecher might be up for debate, but Renee values the chance to live her life well and share the pleasures of that life with others.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>STRENGTHS</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Tenacious'''<br>
A quality that's defined much of her later life and earned her standing in the Maelstrom. Renee is deliberate about when she engages in conflict, but when she does, she draws stark lines and is willing, if not always eager, to make decisions, come what consequences may.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Loyal'''<br>
Though she tries to be at least genial with most everyone she meets, Renee rarely gives others the benefit of her intensely trusting loyalty. To those she does, it is an earnest bond and one that is desperately hard to break and rarely broken without dire cost.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Passionate'''<br>
When anyone or anything manages to gain her true affections, Renee's overwhelming earnestness is either an incredible boon or a terribly obnoxious problem. This is especially the case with people she believes need her protection, guidance, or otherwise meddling.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Intelligent'''<br>
Being quick-witted and well-educated makes Renee a strong thinker with a tendency to delve into the philosophical. On the battlefield, Renee is a deliberate tactician who rarely leaps into a fray without a well-formed and flexible plan.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Socially Deft'''<br>
If nothing else and when it doesn't violate her devotion to an honest life, Renee is capable of practised social grace and considerable charisma or, failing that, considerable superficial charm and outright manipulation.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Confident'''<br>
She's aware of her flaws, even pride, but she believes strongly in herself as a good, worthwhile person. The confidence she shows extends far beyond superficial bravado.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>WEAKNESSES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Prideful'''<br>
For better or worse and often worse, Renee believes herself inherently better than most people. While she has her talents and usually keeps this fault in check, it is entirely possible for her self-righteous habits to come through and rarely do they do so in a way that inspires more confidence than aggravation in others.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Meddling'''<br>
While it might be born out of caring for people, Renee has a terrible and terribly obnoxious habit of meddling in the lives of those she feels a combination of worthy, interesting, and needy.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Jealous'''<br>
Renee's jealousy goes hand-in-hand with her deep trust. She's protective of what and who she considers hers and, for how much she cares about loving and being loved, fears the loss of those very loved ones.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Occasionally Tactless'''<br>
Appreciating open honesty has its downsides. While rarely oafish, Renee tires quickly of showing "unnecessary" grace to people she considers fools and will gladly deliver hard, honest truths just to be done with a frustrating issue. This rarely actually makes anything better.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Introspective'''<br>
Being aware of this fault, she seeks the company of those she has some intimate connection with, but her pride often gets the best of her and causes her to fail to fully divulge in just what way she's suffering. When this happens, she tends to pull away from people, dwell on her discomfort, and succumb to a grim moodiness.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>QUIRKS</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''"Flowery"'''<br>
From ornate speaking habits, to wild gestures of her hands, and to how she dresses, Renee is especially showy. Whether or not it's ridiculous ostentation or simply a genuine love of theatrics is impossible to tell for sure, but it's a presentation she lowers only when matters require she dial herself down from a solid 11.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Intensely Spiritual'''<br>
Much of Renee's adult life has been defined by the spiritual and it shows. She measures problems in equal parts between mortal concerns and those of a "higher" nature. An experience with either death or near-death only intensified this.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Handsy'''<br>
There's a point between "fond acquaintance" and "dear friend" where Renee becomes really quite uncomfortable and cares little for personal space.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Lacks Self-Control'''<br>
In some areas of her life, Renee possesses incredible discipline and self-control. In other areas of her life, that is absolutely, positively not the case. Her waistline is doubtlessly a clue to one of those areas.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 10px 15px;">Renee is a surprisingly deadly combatant, making up for what she lacks in certain areas of physicality with a calm, tactical mind, brutal efficiency, and, when necessary, overwhelming force utterly divorced from any concept of proportional response. Renee took up the gun with the spread of modern mechanics as the product of combining Lominsan tactics and Ishgardian technology. Though her technical technical as a machinist don't set her ahead of her field, her aim with and understanding of firearms makes up for her shortcomings in the more cutting-edge aspects of her field.

While she does have some cursory training in other weapons and the sword in particular, this training serves largely as a means of exercise and general combat practise. Her field of expertise is absolutely ranged combat and she relies heavily on the tactics of that speciality. What sets her apart as a combatant is a well-focused calm, eschewing anger and instead focusing on the task at hand with a calm and usually lethal intent. Renee is well aware of her abilities in direct combat and while that is indeed a weakness, she makes it a very difficult to exploit it usually by engaging in tactics many might call unfair.

In terms of both her abilities in combat and her general personality, Renee does not take well to light scraps or, in fact, "honourable" combat. She relies on stealth, the element of surprise, efficiency, and even what some might call actual cheating to ensure victory. Certainly, Renee is not at all embracing the expectations that come with her appearance as a means to get close and land a decisive blow before a fight even begins in earnest. Her attitude towards combat as a lawless affair that must be ended as swiftly as possible goes a long way to explain just why she so eagerly avoids prolonged violence until absolutely necessary.</div></div>

<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Aye, Becquerel? I knew that gawky shite a good epoch back. More charm than wits with that one, got run out of Limsa after years of chasing women and laying with the wrong fathers' daughters. Got that 'appetite' under control well enough now, though.”<br>

Well, yes, very loyal!”<br>

Nobody who loves themselves that much changes like that for nothing. Damned suspicious, if you ask me.”<br>

Hells, I beat a half-dead fishback the rest of the way with the damned thing and it still works a treat! Can't tell you what she learned in Gridania, but be damned if Limsa don't need more woodworkers of her grade.”<br>

Certainly fine work from an outsider and a good deal more trustworthy than a lot of adventurers before the Calamity, if not quite as skilled. Really thought they were going to settle down and stay, join up with the Gods' Quiver. Good sort, they are, if a bit brutal. 'Tis rare to see an outsider hunt the Coerlclaw so viciously.

After what happened with Shyrdoenwyn, Becquerel nearly getting done in by his own first mate... The man was ''dead'', let me tell you. You don't bleed that much and live. He got back on his feet, sure enough, but you spend that many moons having to work just to breathe while putting that much into trying to fix your First Mate? Little wonder he took it so hard when she died. I'm damned surprised he didn't die a second time. I probably wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror either, but then...

: <div>Met through Giselle, Renee appreciates Annaliese's more serious attitude and appreciates even more that attitude doesn't go far enough to become sour and unpleasant. Between Giselle and Annaliese, Renee has the feeling of actually belonging to a relatively normal social group, even if most of what they do together is smoke, gossip, and meddle in the lives of people who don't want them meddling in their lives.</div>

She seems someone for whom any hope of true normalcy was stolen by war. Worse yet, she sees someone who has been so robbed of any concept of a normal, healthy, stable life that she can't recognise just how unsustainable her own life is. Still, Renee doesn't pity Chise outright, she merely sees Chise's happiness as a kind of personal project, as something good she wants to bring into the world. The obliviousness she feigns around much of Chise's discomfort with open affection is something she believes she does for Chise's sake as, in her mind, the discomfort is nothing more than a kind of growing pain. All her meddling and affection aside, Renee has no real end-game plan for Chise beyond wanting to work with her organisation much in the way the Maelstrom works with the Upright Thieves and obnoxiously intertwining her life with Chise's if for literally no other reason than she really, truly does love the awful creature.</div>

: <div> Dhemgeim was a friend and a catalyst for an immense amount of change in Renee's life, including some of the most obvious. Though they were wildly different people, Renee viewed their lives as oddly similar, capable of great potential but hampered by deep flaws. It was Renee's experience with Dhemgeim, both in life and in death, that turned her desire to enable the potential of others into a more nurturing and even parental desire to protect the good in others. In death, Dhemgeim holds a unique place in Renee's heart and while she will own the woman's flaws, Renee assertively defends Dhemgeim's memory.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Ehla Selhah]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')</div>
:Almost immediately upon meeting her, Renee was fond of Ehla and that fondness only grew with time and has evolved into a unique and, arguably, uniquely unhealthy relationship. They share much of their senses of humour, though Ehla tends to be the more vindictive of the two. With Ehla's tendency to not just hide the truth but lie outright, Renee dreads the possibility of being unable to tell what from Ehla is true and what isn't, but is fond enough of her to trust her. Being a romantic but not an idiot, Renee is well aware Ehla is deeply flawed but sees her as a victim of circumstances and otherwise a genuinely good person. For better or worse (arguably usually worse), Renee wants little more from Ehla than honesty and love.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Georgette Friloux]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Renee deeply values everything Georgette did for her in her youth. Georgette and the Muse provided Renee a healthy, or at least non-destructive, outlet for what was almost certainly a form of addiction. For better or worse, Renee almost sees Georgette as a role model, an intelligent and generally shrewd woman who knows well how to guard what is hers, whatever her motivations might be.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Giselle Friloux]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Given their almost unseemly similarities, Giselle and Renee made fast friends with one-another. The two have an odd connection through Giselle's mother, Georgette, but met and became friends independently, though their mutual appreciate for the Muse - Georgette's brothel - hastened the growth of their friendship. The bizarre similarities between Renee and Giselle are a frequent subject of discussion and humour, but they write off these similarities as coincidence. They are, in fact, complete idiots.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Jancis Milburga]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Renee appreciates Jancis' seemingly unflinching grace as a diplomat and views her as an almost aspirational figure as Renee believes her to be someone considerably more "normal" than herself while still being uniquely decent.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[L'aenoh Tia]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>An officer of The Coral Sea and a friend. Given his "unique" personality, Renee choosing L'aenoh as an officer lead to some consternation with certain members of the company, but it was a decision Renee has been glad to see validated by a stalwart and surprisingly reliable companion. With L'aenoh having married her sister, Renee accepts the man as a brother.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Reinette Sompt]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font>/<font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Without a doubt, Renee deeply cares for Reinette and aches for every pain the woman feels. To say Renee is in love with Reinette is a massive understatement but Renee is emotionally healthy and generally mature enough to live with her unrequited affections (usually) without inflicting herself on the poor woman any more than she already does with everyone else, though her bias for Reinette often blinds her to the woman's very mortal flaws. With Reinette now serving as Renee's First Officer and Practitioner to The Coral Sea, Renee has taken it upon herself to do what she can to improve Reinette's lot in life and help the woman see the good in herself.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Rinhilda Stonebreaker]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')</div>
: <div>Rinhilda represents the stable, reliable life Renee wants for herself in the long-term. Their relationship started around doing light adventuring work together, but as Rinhilda left the lifestyle of adventuring, Renee started getting an idea of just what it means to live a more "normal" life.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Staelufre Lysmerl]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Staelufre is one of the one of the first people Renee consistently travelled with and fought alongside as an actual partner. Renee very much views their relationship as familial to the point of calling her sister and grants the Miqo'te no small amount of leeway and favouritism. In spite of whatever Staelufre may see Renee as, Renee sees Staelufre as a peer and a dear companion in life.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Tausenadel Geispsyrsyn]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>An officer of The Coral Sea and someone Renee considers a friend. Renee appreciates Tausenadel's more "sensitive" approach to things and generally tender heart, though it may not always be entirely obvious to him. She's come to show him considerably more patience after the death of his wife, Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn, fully aware of the immense pain he undoubtedly suffers for it. Renee appreciates Tausenadel for having much the same view of Limsa Lominsa and the thalassocracy's current regime as a truly worthy break from Limsa's not-always-upstanding past. Though it is not something she'd put to plain words for fear of embarrassing the man, she views Tausenadel as the kind of man most Limsans should be.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Vilsewaen Steinhoh]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Unlike Staelufre, Renee does not view Vilsewaen as a parental figure but a mentor and a friend. Through Vilsewaen, Renee's already spiritual view of the world deepened and developed into an appreciation of nobler callings than simple security.</div>

</div>


<div align=justify><div style="padding: 10px 15px;">'''Renee Georgette Becquerel''' seems like nothing more than exactly what she appears to be: an often outspoken, occasionally romantically idealistic, Elezen woman in her mid-thirties. With conscious effort, she presents herself with the well-crafted appearance of a patriotic Lominsan and someone who pays no small attention to the trappings of luxury. With how easily (and knowingly) she can come across as a boisterous, excessively passionate extrovert, it can be easy to write off Renee as defined by seemingly shallow traits, but her superficial appearance is just that.

In the intimacy of a private setting, something she deeply values, Renee displays a level of deliberativeness and near-introversion her more stereotypically passionate qualities might not immediately suggest. Often to a fault, she is prone to introspective dwelling and places a great deal of importance on intimate personal relationships and, above all else, the embracing of honesty and the rejection of deceit.

While capable of considerable warmth and as someone who proclaims herself to be an idealist and a romantic (in a philosophical sense), Renee is no less capable of pragmatism, even to a harsh degree. The same jealous protection she wards over the people and things she values most extends to a hard heart when it comes to those who've proven incompetent or malignant to the point they cannot be trusted among the more valuable. This same penchant for hard-heartedness informs the colonialist attitude she takes towards much of Eorzea, as she believes the Thalassocracy to be far and away the most superior and modern of the Eorzean city-states and the one best-equipped, at least as a society, to combat the threats Eorzea faces from without. How this hasn't translated into hostility towards other nations is anyone's guess.

Many might know her as a Storm Captain of the Maelstrom and an outspoken proponent for the integration and assimilation of refugees from Othard, Doman Hyur and Au Ra alike, into Lominsan society. An outspoken patriot and borderline jingoist, Renee is a minor politico within the Thalassocracy, believing deeply in the unique liberty of Limsa Lominsa<br>

<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>LIKES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Honesty'''<br>
Above all else, Renee values honesty and lives a philosophy centred around the idea and ideal of its pursuit, dedicated to it to the point that she avoids actively deceiving others at all costs.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Music'''<br>
Not just a bard, but a Limsan and the child of a sailor, Renee generally prefers singing and harps as both make for easy travel. Rarely, she can be found wielding a fiddle.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Writing'''<br>
Believing herself partially responsible for the future of the bardic arts, Renee is a hoarder of fantastic-yet-true stories.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Woodworking'''<br>
An artefact of her time in the Shroud, Renee is a carpenter of considerable artistic talent and, upon returning to Limsa Lominsa, learned the skills of a shipwright.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Limsa Lominsa'''<br>
Patriotic nearly to a fault, Renee believes deeply in both the might and right of her homeland. She is deeply loyal to the thalassocracy, its Admiral, and the rule of law they represent.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''The word "motherly"'''<br>
Renee's attitude towards much of The Coral Sea, the membership of the same, and a few of her personal friends has taken a fairly parental turn as she's managed to slowly mature to the point a few have called her out on it. She can't help but feel it's proof she's actually matured as a person.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>DISLIKES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Dishonesty'''<br>
Be it people causing harm by lying to others or causing harm by lying to themselves, Renee openly dislikes people who live their lives without at least passing regard to the value of honesty.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Cowardice'''<br>
Renee will readily encourage people who can't fight for themselves to think of their own safety, but one of the easiest ways to lose her respect is to have the power to act and choose not to out of fear.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Selfishness'''<br>
Renee has no problem with self-interest and a desire for personal gain, but she draws a stark line with people who live their lives at the detriment of others.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Pirates'''<br>
Renee appreciates the history of piracy Limsa had to claw out of and is openly hostile to people who romanticise it and worse to those who would try to bring it back.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Racism'''<br>
Between being an adventurer and having grown up in a city with few Elezen, Renee has little tolerance for those with little tolerance.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''The word "motherly"'''<br>
For however much she might like whatever the word might represent, it being used to describe her makes her uncomfortable on a deep, visceral level.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>MOTIVATION</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Security'''<br>
The Becquerels are a family of the dead and dying and Renee's own life has been defined by a great deal of aimlessness. She eagerly seeks to have a place of her own, both literal and figurative, where she can settle down to a peaceful, prosperous life.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Redemption'''<br>
Renee walks around with her fair share of regrets for decisions made in the past. While she's emotionally balanced enough they don't bog her down, she has an inherent desire to prove to herself that she is, in fact, a truly worthwhile person.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Love'''<br>
A passionate idealist, Renee's a true romantic and values love as not just the gratification of another, but an ideal truly worthy of earnest pursuit. She cares about loving and earning the love of those she cares about.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Self-Control'''<br>
As something she once had a desperate lack of, Renee puts a great deal of weight on self-control and maintaining it within reason, but that doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy life. Renee eagerly seeks a life of...</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Hedonism'''<br>
A trait she's always had and, for a time, suffered for. Whether she's an earnest and passionate bon vivant or a demented and mentally-unwell lecher might be up for debate, but Renee values the chance to live her life well and share the pleasures of that life with others.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>STRENGTHS</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Tenacious'''<br>
A quality that's defined much of her later life and earned her standing in the Maelstrom. Renee is deliberate about when she engages in conflict, but when she does, she draws stark lines and is willing, if not always eager, to make decisions, come what consequences may.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Loyal'''<br>
Though she tries to be at least genial with most everyone she meets, Renee rarely gives others the benefit of her intensely trusting loyalty. To those she does, it is an earnest bond and one that is desperately hard to break and rarely broken without dire cost.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Passionate'''<br>
When anyone or anything manages to gain her true affections, Renee's overwhelming earnestness is either an incredible boon or a terribly obnoxious problem. This is especially the case with people she believes need her protection, guidance, or otherwise meddling.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Intelligent'''<br>
Being quick-witted and well-educated makes Renee a strong thinker with a tendency to delve into the philosophical. On the battlefield, Renee is a deliberate tactician who rarely leaps into a fray without a well-formed and flexible plan.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Socially Deft'''<br>
If nothing else and when it doesn't violate her devotion to an honest life, Renee is capable of practised social grace and considerable charisma or, failing that, considerable superficial charm and outright manipulation.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Confident'''<br>
She's aware of her flaws, even pride, but she believes strongly in herself as a good, worthwhile person. The confidence she shows extends far beyond superficial bravado.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>WEAKNESSES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Prideful'''<br>
For better or worse and often worse, Renee believes herself inherently better than most people. While she has her talents and usually keeps this fault in check, it is entirely possible for her self-righteous habits to come through and rarely do they do so in a way that inspires more confidence than aggravation in others.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Meddling'''<br>
While it might be born out of caring for people, Renee has a terrible and terribly obnoxious habit of meddling in the lives of those she feels a combination of worthy, interesting, and needy.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Jealous'''<br>
Renee's jealousy goes hand-in-hand with her deep trust. She's protective of what and who she considers hers and, for how much she cares about loving and being loved, fears the loss of those very loved ones.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Occasionally Tactless'''<br>
Appreciating open honesty has its downsides. While rarely oafish, Renee tires quickly of showing "unnecessary" grace to people she considers fools and will gladly deliver hard, honest truths just to be done with a frustrating issue. This rarely actually makes anything better.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Introspective'''<br>
Being aware of this fault, she seeks the company of those she has some intimate connection with, but her pride often gets the best of her and causes her to fail to fully divulge in just what way she's suffering. When this happens, she tends to pull away from people, dwell on her discomfort, and succumb to a grim moodiness.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>QUIRKS</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''"Flowery"'''<br>
From ornate speaking habits, to wild gestures of her hands, and to how she dresses, Renee is especially showy. Whether or not it's ridiculous ostentation or simply a genuine love of theatrics is impossible to tell for sure, but it's a presentation she lowers only when matters require she dial herself down from a solid 11.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Intensely Spiritual'''<br>
Much of Renee's adult life has been defined by the spiritual and it shows. She measures problems in equal parts between mortal concerns and those of a "higher" nature. An experience with either death or near-death only intensified this.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Handsy'''<br>
There's a point between "fond acquaintance" and "dear friend" where Renee becomes really quite uncomfortable and cares little for personal space.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Lacks Self-Control'''<br>
In some areas of her life, Renee possesses incredible discipline and self-control. In other areas of her life, that is absolutely, positively not the case. Her waistline is doubtlessly a clue to one of those areas.</div>

<div style="float:left;margin:15px;border:1px solid #180618;width:300px;background:#ece8bd;">
<div><div align=left><div style="height:425px;width:300px;">[[File:Renee_Appearance.png]]</div></div></div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 15px;">To put it simply, Renee is short and noticeably overweight. At six fulm and weighing every bit of three hundred and seventy ponze, she sports a full, vaguely pearish, and generally overfed figure that's definitely plainly fat more than what some might idealise as “curvy”. As one would expect from a well-travelled Eorzean, even considering the usual "fine" build of an Elezen and her and doughy figure, she has a hearty bearing that betrays a healthy layer of muscle hidden beneath her soft exterior that serves to further widen her silhouette and suggest she's built more for strength than speed.

Though her plump features easily carry a smile, they can just as easily turn stern at a moment's notice. Her face runs a little long with defined cheekbones framing a rather prominent nose. Her sharp, cunning eyes are mismatched; one a dark green, the other a bronze brown and sit beneath a fine brow, often in the earliest stages of a wolfish grin, crooked to match lips that often bear the start of some snotty expression with dark lipstick usually making them look fuller than they actually are.

While she keeps plenty of more practical armour and clothing, Renee's sense in fashion occasionally nears the elegant but more often dives into the showy and downright extravagant. Sweeping coats, contrasting colours, deep necks, and ample jewellery make it easy to pick her out of a crowd as long as she’s not surrounded by Elezen of more average height. The same care for her physical appearance carries over to her grooming as she obviously pays meticulous attention to her hair, skin, and nails keeping them all in the best condition one could reasonably expect from an adventurer. Usually lingering around her is the scent of floral perfume, moisturising oils, and a faint hint of fragrant tobacco, making her presence just that much more obnoxious.

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #5a1d33;font-size:20px;color:#ece8bd;letter-spacing:0.2em;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;font-weight:bold;">COMBAT</div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 10px 15px;">Renee is a surprisingly deadly combatant, making up for what she lacks in certain areas of physicality with a calm, tactical mind, brutal efficiency, and, when necessary, overwhelming force utterly divorced from any concept of proportional response. Renee took up the gun with the spread of modern mechanics as the product of combining Lominsan tactics and Ishgardian technology. Though her technical technical as a machinist don't set her ahead of her field, her aim with and understanding of firearms makes up for her shortcomings in the more cutting-edge aspects of her field.

While she does have some cursory training in other weapons and the sword in particular, this training serves largely as a means of exercise and general combat practise. Her field of expertise is absolutely ranged combat and she relies heavily on the tactics of that speciality. What sets her apart as a combatant is a well-focused calm, eschewing anger and instead focusing on the task at hand with a calm and usually lethal intent. Renee is well aware of her abilities in direct combat and while that is indeed a weakness, she makes it a very difficult to exploit it usually by engaging in tactics many might call unfair.

In terms of both her abilities in combat and her general personality, Renee does not take well to light scraps or, in fact, "honourable" combat. She relies on stealth, the element of surprise, efficiency, and even what some might call actual cheating to ensure victory. Certainly, Renee is not at all embracing the expectations that come with her appearance as a means to get close and land a decisive blow before a fight even begins in earnest. Her attitude towards combat as a lawless affair that must be ended as swiftly as possible goes a long way to explain just why she so eagerly avoids prolonged violence until absolutely necessary.</div></div>

<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Aye, Becquerel? I knew that gawky shite a good epoch back. More charm than wits with that one, got run out of Limsa after years of chasing women and laying with the wrong fathers' daughters. Got that 'appetite' under control well enough now, though.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a longshoreman in Limsa Lominsa</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Captain Becquerel's a fine officer, certainly, but uh... Well I did hear she almost throw a private off a bridge for questioning orders direct from the Admiral. Only almost! She's wonderfully loyal to the thalassocracy, maybe a little rabid, but... Well, yes, very loyal!”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a junior officer stationed at the Aftcastle</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “She's a fine enough woman, isn't she? But she's ''not'', though. I knew that Becquerel back when he was still Renaud, oh was he a charmer and he had hands like you wouldn't believe... Not right though, is it? Nobody who loves themselves that much changes like that for nothing. Damned suspicious, if you ask me.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a waitress at the Drowning Wench</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Don't rightly know why she's in the Maelstrom. See this bow? It's a genuine Becquerel! Sold it to me herself, 'patriot's discount' she said! Hells, I beat a half-dead fishback the rest of the way with the damned thing and it still works a treat! Can't tell you what she learned in Gridania, but be damned if Limsa don't need more woodworkers of her grade.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- an overly enthusiastic Yellowjacket</font>'''</div>

<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “Becquerel? I worked with him or, rather, ''her'' isn't it now? Certainly fine work from an outsider and a good deal more trustworthy than a lot of adventurers before the Calamity, if not quite as skilled. Really thought they were going to settle down and stay, join up with the Gods' Quiver. Good sort, they are, if a bit brutal. 'Tis rare to see an outsider hunt the Coerlclaw so viciously. Suppose fear's a good a tactic as any.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a member of the Gods' Quiver in the Carline Canopy</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “What, the dark-skinned, loud, 'Wildwood' with too much jewellery? Surely you mean that Friloux woman, don't you? Oh, I suppose that could be Becquerel, too, but really, it's half-dozen of one, six of the other, isn't it? Even look alike... huh.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a merchant in Ul'dah selling imported bows</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “Madame Becquerel? I repaired her roof, you know. The woman's an absolute terror, even if she is every bit of a hundred years old. Suppose that's Ishgardians for you, isn't it? Even when they leave the place for good, they take a little bit of it with them, don't they? Related to those weird Valentione folk as I hear it told! Wait, you mean her grandchild? Hells, don't much know them.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a carpenter in Gridania</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “Oh, aye, I know the Apkallu. Good sort, good sort, true and true, real bleedin' heart and all that, but hells. Y'ever seen the inside o' a pirate, like after gettin' flayed and left t' rot in th' sun? I have... After Becquerel got their mitts on 'em.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#706b68;">■</font> “I knew Vivienne and Beauvissoix, Thal keep them, lovely folk they were, died fighting at Carteneau. But their child? Could've come from Vivienne's stock, sure enough, she was a bit of a mix herself, but I knew her damned well and she was barren, couldn't conceive. Now I don't know many dark-skinned Elezen Beauvissoix was close to, but I do know a certain brothel owner who was friend to both of them.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- an older Roegadyn woman claiming to be a deckhand of The Coral Sea, the ''original'' one</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#706b68;">■</font> “Captain Becquerel's a good officer, certainly, and a fine example of why we let our officers have such free reign, but she's not nearly as smooth as that grin of hers would have you think. After what happened with Shyrdoenwyn, Becquerel nearly getting done in by his own first mate... The man was ''dead'', let me tell you. You don't bleed that much and live. He got back on his feet, sure enough, but you spend that many moons having to work just to breathe while putting that much into trying to fix your First Mate? Little wonder he took it so hard when she died. I'm damned surprised he didn't break down more than he did. I probably wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror either, but then... She doesn't have to see that old face anymore, does she?”<br>

<div style="margin-top:-20px;font-size:14px;">
: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Annaliese Sellecere]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Met through Giselle, Renee appreciates Annaliese's more serious attitude and appreciates even more that attitude doesn't go far enough to become sour and unpleasant. Between Giselle and Annaliese, Renee has the feeling of actually belonging to a relatively normal social group, even if most of what they do together is smoke, gossip, and meddle in the lives of people who don't want them meddling in their lives.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Chise Tobukizu]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font>/<font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>

: <div> For almost no explicable reason, Renee absolutely adores Chise and feels a genuine, eager love for her. Renee likes the person Chise is but she sees in Chise something she has seen in others and, to a much lesser extent, sees in herself. She seems someone for whom any hope of true normalcy was stolen by war. Worse yet, she sees someone who has been so robbed of any concept of a normal, healthy, stable life that she can't recognise just how unsustainable her own life is. Still, Renee doesn't pity Chise outright, she merely sees Chise's happiness as a kind of personal project, as something good she wants to bring into the world. The obliviousness she feigns around much of Chise's discomfort with open affection is something she believes she does for Chise's sake as, in her mind, the discomfort is nothing more than a kind of growing pain. All her meddling and affection aside, Renee has no real end-game plan for Chise beyond wanting to work with her organisation much in the way the Maelstrom works with the Upright Thieves and obnoxiously intertwining her life with Chise's if for literally no other reason than she really, truly does love the awful creature.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div> Dhemgeim was a friend and a catalyst for an immense amount of change in Renee's life, including some of the most obvious. Though they were wildly different people, Renee viewed their lives as oddly similar, capable of great potential but hampered by deep flaws. It was Renee's experience with Dhemgeim, both in life and in death, that turned her desire to enable the potential of others into a more nurturing and even parental desire to protect the good in others. In death, Dhemgeim holds a unique place in Renee's heart and while she will own the woman's flaws, Renee assertively defends Dhemgeim's memory.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Ehla Selhah]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')</div>
:Almost immediately upon meeting her, Renee was fond of Ehla and that fondness only grew with time and has evolved into a unique and, arguably, uniquely unhealthy relationship. They share much of their senses of humour, though Ehla tends to be the more vindictive of the two. With Ehla's tendency to not just hide the truth but lie outright, Renee dreads the possibility of being unable to tell what from Ehla is true and what isn't, but is fond enough of her to trust her. Being a romantic but not an idiot, Renee is well aware Ehla is deeply flawed but sees her as a victim of circumstances and otherwise a genuinely good person. For better or worse (arguably usually worse), Renee wants little more from Ehla than honesty and love.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Georgette Friloux]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Renee deeply values everything Georgette did for her in her youth. Georgette and the Muse provided Renee a healthy, or at least non-destructive, outlet for what was almost certainly a form of addiction. For better or worse, Renee almost sees Georgette as a role model, an intelligent and generally shrewd woman who knows well how to guard what is hers, whatever her motivations might be.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Giselle Friloux]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Given their almost unseemly similarities, Giselle and Renee made fast friends with one-another. The two have an odd connection through Giselle's mother, Georgette, but met and became friends independently, though their mutual appreciate for the Muse - Georgette's brothel - hastened the growth of their friendship. The bizarre similarities between Renee and Giselle are a frequent subject of discussion and humour, but they write off these similarities as coincidence. They are, in fact, complete idiots.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Jancis Milburga]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Renee appreciates Jancis' seemingly unflinching grace as a diplomat and views her as an almost aspirational figure as Renee believes her to be someone considerably more "normal" than herself while still being uniquely decent.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[L'aenoh Tia]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>An officer of The Coral Sea and a friend. Given his "unique" personality, Renee choosing L'aenoh as an officer lead to some consternation with certain members of the company, but it was a decision Renee has been glad to see validated by a stalwart and surprisingly reliable companion. With L'aenoh having married her sister, Renee accepts the man as a brother.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Reinette Sompt]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font>/<font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Without a doubt, Renee deeply cares for Reinette and aches for every pain the woman feels. To say Renee is in love with Reinette is a massive understatement but Renee is emotionally healthy and generally mature enough to live with her unrequited affections (usually) without inflicting herself on the poor woman any more than she already does with everyone else, though her bias for Reinette often blinds her to the woman's very mortal flaws. With Reinette now serving as Renee's First Officer and Practitioner to The Coral Sea, Renee has taken it upon herself to do what she can to improve Reinette's lot in life and help the woman see the good in herself.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Rinhilda Stonebreaker]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')</div>
: <div>Rinhilda represents the stable, reliable life Renee wants for herself in the long-term. Their relationship started around doing light adventuring work together, but as Rinhilda left the lifestyle of adventuring, Renee started getting an idea of just what it means to live a more "normal" life.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Sarchetseg Horo]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div></div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Staelufre Lysmerl]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Staelufre is one of the one of the first people Renee consistently travelled with and fought alongside as an actual partner. Renee very much views their relationship as familial to the point of calling her sister and grants the Miqo'te no small amount of leeway and favouritism. In spite of whatever Staelufre may see Renee as, Renee sees Staelufre as a peer and a dear companion in life.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Tausenadel Geispsyrsyn]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>An officer of The Coral Sea and someone Renee considers a friend. Renee appreciates Tausenadel's more "sensitive" approach to things and generally tender heart, though it may not always be entirely obvious to him. She's come to show him considerably more patience after the death of his wife, Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn, fully aware of the immense pain he undoubtedly suffers for it. Renee appreciates Tausenadel for having much the same view of Limsa Lominsa and the thalassocracy's current regime as a truly worthy break from Limsa's not-always-upstanding past. Though it is not something she'd put to plain words for fear of embarrassing the man, she views Tausenadel as the kind of man most Limsans should be.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Vilsewaen Steinhoh]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Unlike Staelufre, Renee does not view Vilsewaen as a parental figure but a mentor and a friend. Through Vilsewaen, Renee's already spiritual view of the world deepened and developed into an appreciation of nobler callings than simple security.</div>

</div>

</div>


<div align=justify><div style="padding: 10px 15px;">At first glance, '''Renee Becquerel''' seems like nothing more than exactly what she appears to be: an often outspoken, occasionally romantically idealistic, Elezen woman in her mid-thirties. With conscious effort, she presents herself with the well-crafted appearance of a patriotic Lominsan and someone who pays no small attention to the trappings of luxury. With how easily (and knowingly) she can come across as a boisterous, excessively passionate extrovert, it can be easy to write off Renee as defined by seemingly shallow traits, but her superficial appearance is just that.

In the intimacy of a private setting, something she deeply values, Renee displays a level of deliberativeness and near-introversion her more stereotypically passionate qualities might not immediately suggest. Often to a fault, she is prone to introspective dwelling and places a great deal of importance on intimate personal relationships and, above all else, the embracing of honesty and the rejection of deceit.

While capable of considerable warmth and as someone who proclaims herself to be an idealist and a romantic (in a philosophical sense), Renee is no less capable of pragmatism, even to a harsh degree. The same jealous protection she wards over the people and things she values most extends to a hard heart when it comes to those who've proven incompetent or malignant to the point they cannot be trusted among the more valuable. This same penchant for hard-heartedness informs the colonialist attitude she takes towards much of Eorzea, as she believes the Thalassocracy to be far and away the most superior and modern of the Eorzean city-states and the one best-equipped, at least as a society, to combat the threats Eorzea faces from without. How this hasn't translated into hostility towards other nations is anyone's guess.

Many might know her as a Storm Captain of the Maelstrom and an outspoken proponent for the integration and assimilation of refugees from Othard, Doman Hyur and Au Ra alike, into Lominsan society. An outspoken patriot and borderline jingoist, Renee is a minor politico within the Thalassocracy, believing deeply in the unique liberty of Limsa Lominsa<br>

<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Honesty'''<br>
Above all else, Renee values honesty and lives a philosophy centred around the idea and ideal of its pursuit, dedicated to it to the point that she avoids actively deceiving others at all costs.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Music'''<br>
Not just a bard, but a Limsan and the child of a sailor, Renee generally prefers singing and harps as both make for easy travel. Rarely, she can be found wielding a fiddle.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Writing'''<br>
Believing herself partially responsible for the future of the bardic arts, Renee is a hoarder of fantastic-yet-true stories.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Woodworking'''<br>
An artefact of her time in the Shroud, Renee is a carpenter of considerable artistic talent and, upon returning to Limsa Lominsa, learned the skills of a shipwright.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Limsa Lominsa'''<br>
Patriotic nearly to a fault, Renee believes deeply in both the might and right of her homeland. She is deeply loyal to the thalassocracy, its Admiral, and the rule of law they represent.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''The word "motherly"'''<br>
Renee's attitude towards much of The Coral Sea, the membership of the same, and a few of her personal friends has taken a fairly parental turn as she's managed to slowly mature to the point a few have called her out on it. She can't help but feel it's proof she's actually matured as a person.</div>

Be it people causing harm by lying to others or causing harm by lying to themselves, Renee openly dislikes people who live their lives without at least passing regard to the value of honesty.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Cowardice'''<br>
Renee will readily encourage people who can't fight for themselves to think of their own safety, but one of the easiest ways to lose her respect is to have the power to act and choose not to out of fear.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Selfishness'''<br>
Renee has no problem with self-interest and a desire for personal gain, but she draws a stark line with people who live their lives at the detriment of others.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Pirates'''<br>
Renee appreciates the history of piracy Limsa had to claw out of and is openly hostile to people who romanticise it and worse to those who would try to bring it back.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Racism'''<br>
Between being an adventurer and having grown up in a city with few Elezen, Renee has little tolerance for those with little tolerance.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''The word "motherly"'''<br>
For however much she might like whatever the word might represent, it being used to describe her makes her uncomfortable on a deep, visceral level.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>MOTIVATION</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Security'''<br>
The Becquerels are a family of the dead and dying and Renee's own life has been defined by a great deal of aimlessness. She eagerly seeks to have a place of her own, both literal and figurative, where she can settle down to a peaceful, prosperous life.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Redemption'''<br>
Renee walks around with her fair share of regrets for decisions made in the past. While she's emotionally balanced enough they don't bog her down, she has an inherent desire to prove to herself that she is, in fact, a truly worthwhile person.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Love'''<br>
A passionate idealist, Renee's a true romantic and values love as not just the gratification of another, but an ideal truly worthy of earnest pursuit. She cares about loving and earning the love of those she cares about.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Self-Control'''<br>
As something she once had a desperate lack of, Renee puts a great deal of weight on self-control and maintaining it within reason, but that doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy life. Renee eagerly seeks a life of...</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Hedonism'''<br>
A trait she's always had and, for a time, suffered for. Whether she's an earnest and passionate bon vivant or a demented and mentally-unwell lecher might be up for debate, but Renee values the chance to live her life well and share the pleasures of that life with others.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>STRENGTHS</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Tenacious'''<br>
A quality that's defined much of her later life and earned her standing in the Maelstrom. Renee is deliberate about when she engages in conflict, but when she does, she draws stark lines and is willing, if not always eager, to make decisions, come what consequences may.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Loyal'''<br>
Though she tries to be at least genial with most everyone she meets, Renee rarely gives others the benefit of her intensely trusting loyalty. To those she does, it is an earnest bond and one that is desperately hard to break and rarely broken without dire cost.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Passionate'''<br>
When anyone or anything manages to gain her true affections, Renee's overwhelming earnestness is either an incredible boon or a terribly obnoxious problem. This is especially the case with people she believes need her protection, guidance, or otherwise meddling.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Intelligent'''<br>
Being quick-witted and well-educated makes Renee a strong thinker with a tendency to delve into the philosophical. On the battlefield, Renee is a deliberate tactician who rarely leaps into a fray without a well-formed and flexible plan.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Socially Deft'''<br>
If nothing else and when it doesn't violate her devotion to an honest life, Renee is capable of practised social grace and considerable charisma or, failing that, considerable superficial charm and outright manipulation.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Confident'''<br>
She's aware of her flaws, even pride, but she believes strongly in herself as a good, worthwhile person. The confidence she shows extends far beyond superficial bravado.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>WEAKNESSES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Prideful'''<br>
For better or worse and often worse, Renee believes herself inherently better than most people. While she has her talents and usually keeps this fault in check, it is entirely possible for her self-righteous habits to come through and rarely do they do so in a way that inspires more confidence than aggravation in others.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Meddling'''<br>
While it might be born out of caring for people, Renee has a terrible and terribly obnoxious habit of meddling in the lives of those she feels a combination of worthy, interesting, and needy.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Jealous'''<br>
Renee's jealousy goes hand-in-hand with her deep trust. She's protective of what and who she considers hers and, for how much she cares about loving and being loved, fears the loss of those very loved ones.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Occasionally Tactless'''<br>
Appreciating open honesty has its downsides. While rarely oafish, Renee tires quickly of showing "unnecessary" grace to people she considers fools and will gladly deliver hard, honest truths just to be done with a frustrating issue. This rarely actually makes anything better.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Introspective'''<br>
Being aware of this fault, she seeks the company of those she has some intimate connection with, but her pride often gets the best of her and causes her to fail to fully divulge in just what way she's suffering. When this happens, she tends to pull away from people, dwell on her discomfort, and succumb to a grim moodiness.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>QUIRKS</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''"Flowery"'''<br>
From ornate speaking habits, to wild gestures of her hands, and to how she dresses, Renee is especially showy. Whether or not it's ridiculous ostentation or simply a genuine love of theatrics is impossible to tell for sure, but it's a presentation she lowers only when matters require she dial herself down from a solid 11.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Intensely Spiritual'''<br>
Much of Renee's adult life has been defined by the spiritual and it shows. She measures problems in equal parts between mortal concerns and those of a "higher" nature. An experience with either death or near-death only intensified this.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Handsy'''<br>
There's a point between "fond acquaintance" and "dear friend" where Renee becomes really quite uncomfortable and cares little for personal space.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Lacks Self-Control'''<br>
In some areas of her life, Renee possesses incredible discipline and self-control. In other areas of her life, that is absolutely, positively not the case. Her waistline is doubtlessly a clue to one of those areas.</div>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #5a1d33;font-size:20px;color:#ece8bd;letter-spacing:0.2em;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;font-weight:bold;">APPEARANCE</div></div>
<div style="float:left;margin:15px;border:1px solid #180618;width:300px;background:#ece8bd;">
<div><div align=left><div style="height:425px;width:300px;">[[File:Renee_Appearance.png]]</div></div></div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 15px;">To put it simply, Renee is short and noticeably overweight. At six fulm and weighing every bit of three hundred and seventy ponze, she sports a full, vaguely pearish, and generally overfed figure that's definitely plainly fat more than what some might idealise as “curvy”. As one would expect from a well-travelled Eorzean, even considering the usual "fine" build of an Elezen and her and doughy figure, she has a hearty bearing that betrays a healthy layer of muscle hidden beneath her soft exterior that serves to further widen her silhouette and suggest she's built more for strength than speed.

Though her plump features easily carry a smile, they can just as easily turn stern at a moment's notice. Her face runs a little long with defined cheekbones framing a rather prominent nose. Her sharp, cunning eyes are mismatched; one a dark green, the other a bronze brown and sit beneath a fine brow, often in the earliest stages of a wolfish grin, crooked to match lips that often bear the start of some snotty expression with dark lipstick usually making them look fuller than they actually are.

While she keeps plenty of more practical armour and clothing, Renee's sense in fashion occasionally nears the elegant but more often dives into the showy and downright extravagant. Sweeping coats, contrasting colours, deep necks, and ample jewellery make it easy to pick her out of a crowd as long as she’s not surrounded by Elezen of more average height. The same care for her physical appearance carries over to her grooming as she obviously pays meticulous attention to her hair, skin, and nails keeping them all in the best condition one could reasonably expect from an adventurer. Usually lingering around her is the scent of floral perfume, moisturising oils, and a faint hint of fragrant tobacco, making her presence just that much more obnoxious.

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #5a1d33;font-size:20px;color:#ece8bd;letter-spacing:0.2em;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;font-weight:bold;">COMBAT</div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 10px 15px;">Renee is a surprisingly deadly combatant, making up for what she lacks in certain areas of physicality with a calm, tactical mind, brutal efficiency, and, when necessary, overwhelming force utterly divorced from any concept of proportional response. Renee took up the gun with the spread of modern mechanics as the product of combining Lominsan tactics and Ishgardian technology. Though her technical technical as a machinist don't set her ahead of her field, her aim with and understanding of firearms makes up for her shortcomings in the more cutting-edge aspects of her field.

While she does have some cursory training in other weapons and the sword in particular, this training serves largely as a means of exercise and general combat practise. Her field of expertise is absolutely ranged combat and she relies heavily on the tactics of that speciality. What sets her apart as a combatant is a well-focused calm, eschewing anger and instead focusing on the task at hand with a calm and usually lethal intent. Renee is well aware of her abilities in direct combat and while that is indeed a weakness, she makes it a very difficult to exploit it usually by engaging in tactics many might call unfair.

In terms of both her abilities in combat and her general personality, Renee does not take well to light scraps or, in fact, "honourable" combat. She relies on stealth, the element of surprise, efficiency, and even what some might call actual cheating to ensure victory. Certainly, Renee is not at all embracing the expectations that come with her appearance as a means to get close and land a decisive blow before a fight even begins in earnest. Her attitude towards combat as a lawless affair that must be ended as swiftly as possible goes a long way to explain just why she so eagerly avoids prolonged violence until absolutely necessary.</div></div>

<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Aye, Becquerel? I knew that gawky shite a good epoch back. More charm than wits with that one, got run out of Limsa after years of chasing women and laying with the wrong fathers' daughters. Got that 'appetite' under control well enough now, though.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a longshoreman in Limsa Lominsa</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Captain Becquerel's a fine officer, certainly, but uh... Well I did hear she almost throw a private off a bridge for questioning orders direct from the Admiral. Only almost! She's wonderfully loyal to the thalassocracy, maybe a little rabid, but... Well, yes, very loyal!”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a junior officer stationed at the Aftcastle</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “She's a fine enough woman, isn't she? But she's ''not'', though. I knew that Becquerel back when he was still Renaud, oh was he a charmer and he had hands like you wouldn't believe... Not right though, is it? Nobody who loves themselves that much changes like that for nothing. Damned suspicious, if you ask me.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a waitress at the Drowning Wench</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Don't rightly know why she's in the Maelstrom. See this bow? It's a genuine Becquerel! Sold it to me herself, 'patriot's discount' she said! Hells, I beat a half-dead fishback the rest of the way with the damned thing and it still works a treat! Can't tell you what she learned in Gridania, but be damned if Limsa don't need more woodworkers of her grade.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “Becquerel? I worked with him or, rather, ''her'' isn't it now? Certainly fine work from an outsider and a good deal more trustworthy than a lot of adventurers before the Calamity, if not quite as skilled. Really thought they were going to settle down and stay, join up with the Gods' Quiver. Good sort, they are, if a bit brutal. 'Tis rare to see an outsider hunt the Coerlclaw so viciously. Suppose fear's a good a tactic as any.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a member of the Gods' Quiver in the Carline Canopy</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “What, the dark-skinned, loud, 'Wildwood' with too much jewellery? Surely you mean that Friloux woman, don't you? Oh, I suppose that could be Becquerel, too, but really, it's half-dozen of one, six of the other, isn't it? Even look alike... huh.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a merchant in Ul'dah selling imported bows</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “Madame Becquerel? I repaired her roof, you know. The woman's an absolute terror, even if she is every bit of a hundred years old. Suppose that's Ishgardians for you, isn't it? Even when they leave the place for good, they take a little bit of it with them, don't they? Related to those weird Valentione folk as I hear it told! Wait, you mean her grandchild? Hells, don't much know them.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “Oh, aye, I know the Apkallu. Good sort, good sort, true and true, real bleedin' heart and all that, but hells. Y'ever seen the inside o' a pirate, like after gettin' flayed and left t' rot in th' sun? I have... After Becquerel got their mitts on 'em.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#706b68;">■</font> “I knew Vivienne and Beauvissoix, Thal keep them, lovely folk they were, died fighting at Carteneau. But their child? Could've come from Vivienne's stock, sure enough, she was a bit of a mix herself, but I knew her damned well and she was barren, couldn't conceive. Now I don't know many dark-skinned Elezen Beauvissoix was close to, but I do know a certain brothel owner who was friend to both of them.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- an older Roegadyn woman claiming to be a deckhand of The Coral Sea, the ''original'' one</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#706b68;">■</font> “Captain Becquerel's a good officer, certainly, and a fine example of why we let our officers have such free reign, but she's not nearly as smooth as that grin of hers would have you think. After what happened with Shyrdoenwyn, Becquerel nearly getting done in by his own first mate... The man was ''dead'', let me tell you. You don't bleed that much and live. He got back on his feet, sure enough, but you spend that many moons having to work just to breathe while putting that much into trying to fix your First Mate? Little wonder he took it so hard when she died. I'm damned surprised he didn't break down more than he did. I probably wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror either, but then... She doesn't have to see that old face anymore, does she?”<br>

<div style="margin-top:-20px;font-size:14px;">
: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Annaliese Sellecere]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Met through Giselle, Renee appreciates Annaliese's more serious attitude and appreciates even more that attitude doesn't go far enough to become sour and unpleasant. Between Giselle and Annaliese, Renee has the feeling of actually belonging to a relatively normal social group, even if most of what they do together is smoke, gossip, and meddle in the lives of people who don't want them meddling in their lives.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Chise Tobukizu]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font>/<font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>

: <div> For almost no explicable reason, Renee absolutely adores Chise and feels a genuine, eager love for her. Renee likes the person Chise is but she sees in Chise something she has seen in others and, to a much lesser extent, sees in herself. She seems someone for whom any hope of true normalcy was stolen by war. Worse yet, she sees someone who has been so robbed of any concept of a normal, healthy, stable life that she can't recognise just how unsustainable her own life is. Still, Renee doesn't pity Chise outright, she merely sees Chise's happiness as a kind of personal project, as something good she wants to bring into the world. The obliviousness she feigns around much of Chise's discomfort with open affection is something she believes she does for Chise's sake as, in her mind, the discomfort is nothing more than a kind of growing pain. All her meddling and affection aside, Renee has no real end-game plan for Chise beyond wanting to work with her organisation much in the way the Maelstrom works with the Upright Thieves and obnoxiously intertwining her life with Chise's if for literally no other reason than she really, truly does love the awful creature.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div> Dhemgeim was a friend and a catalyst for an immense amount of change in Renee's life, including some of the most obvious. Though they were wildly different people, Renee viewed their lives as oddly similar, capable of great potential but hampered by deep flaws. It was Renee's experience with Dhemgeim, both in life and in death, that turned her desire to enable the potential of others into a more nurturing and even parental desire to protect the good in others. In death, Dhemgeim holds a unique place in Renee's heart and while she will own the woman's flaws, Renee assertively defends Dhemgeim's memory.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Ehla Selhah]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')</div>
:Almost immediately upon meeting her, Renee was fond of Ehla and that fondness only grew with time and has evolved into a unique and, arguably, uniquely unhealthy relationship. They share much of their senses of humour, though Ehla tends to be the more vindictive of the two. With Ehla's tendency to not just hide the truth but lie outright, Renee dreads the possibility of being unable to tell what from Ehla is true and what isn't, but is fond enough of her to trust her. Being a romantic but not an idiot, Renee is well aware Ehla is deeply flawed but sees her as a victim of circumstances and otherwise a genuinely good person. For better or worse (arguably usually worse), Renee wants little more from Ehla than honesty and love.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Georgette Friloux]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Renee deeply values everything Georgette did for her in her youth. Georgette and the Muse provided Renee a healthy, or at least non-destructive, outlet for what was almost certainly a form of addiction. For better or worse, Renee almost sees Georgette as a role model, an intelligent and generally shrewd woman who knows well how to guard what is hers, whatever her motivations might be.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Giselle Friloux]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Given their almost unseemly similarities, Giselle and Renee made fast friends with one-another. The two have an odd connection through Giselle's mother, Georgette, but met and became friends independently, though their mutual appreciate for the Muse - Georgette's brothel - hastened the growth of their friendship. The bizarre similarities between Renee and Giselle are a frequent subject of discussion and humour, but they write off these similarities as coincidence. They are, in fact, complete idiots.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Jancis Milburga]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Renee appreciates Jancis' seemingly unflinching grace as a diplomat and views her as an almost aspirational figure as Renee believes her to be someone considerably more "normal" than herself while still being uniquely decent.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[L'aenoh Tia]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>An officer of The Coral Sea and a friend. Given his "unique" personality, Renee choosing L'aenoh as an officer lead to some consternation with certain members of the company, but it was a decision Renee has been glad to see validated by a stalwart and surprisingly reliable companion. With L'aenoh having married her sister, Renee accepts the man as a brother.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Leanne Delphium]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Leanne is a target of Renee and Giselle's meddling. Renee can't help but appreciate how well the Miqo'te handles the undoubtedly irksome attention and is generally graceful in her dealings with others, obnoxious, meddlesome Elezen or otherwise.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Memeli Meli]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Though some might see Memeli as worryingly "eccentric", Renee sees her as surprisingly intelligent, cunning, and somehow oddly compassionate. Renee believes she and Memeli share certain traits on a superficial level, but the exact extent of those traits is so different that their differences contrast and complement one-another for the better.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Reinette Sompt]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font>/<font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Without a doubt, Renee deeply cares for Reinette and aches for every pain the woman feels. To say Renee is in love with Reinette is a massive understatement but Renee is emotionally healthy and generally mature enough to live with her unrequited affections (usually) without inflicting herself on the poor woman any more than she already does with everyone else, though her bias for Reinette often blinds her to the woman's very mortal flaws. With Reinette now serving as Renee's First Officer and Practitioner to The Coral Sea, Renee has taken it upon herself to do what she can to improve Reinette's lot in life and help the woman see the good in herself.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Rinhilda Stonebreaker]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')</div>
: <div>Rinhilda represents the stable, reliable life Renee wants for herself in the long-term. Their relationship started around doing light adventuring work together, but as Rinhilda left the lifestyle of adventuring, Renee started getting an idea of just what it means to live a more "normal" life.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Sarchetseg Horo]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>To Sarchetseg, Renee is something she never thought she could be, a mother. Renee quickly bonded with the young Doman refugee, her plight leaning hard on every one of Renee’s buttons to the point she quickly took on the young Doman as a ward and a daughter soon after. Regardless of whatever she may represent, Sarchetseg is Renee’s most treasured possession and, in turn, Renee dotes on her with no small excess of love, wanting only the very best for the sweet-natured refugee. Of course, it's entirely reasonable to say the young woman has no real need for a mother but as unhealthy as Renee's possessiveness might be, her life is inarguably better for it.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Staelufre Lysmerl]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Staelufre is one of the one of the first people Renee consistently travelled with and fought alongside as an actual partner. Renee very much views their relationship as familial to the point of calling her sister and grants the Miqo'te no small amount of leeway and favouritism. In spite of whatever Staelufre may see Renee as, Renee sees Staelufre as a peer and a dear companion in life.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Tausenadel Geispsyrsyn]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>An officer of The Coral Sea and someone Renee considers a friend. Renee appreciates Tausenadel's more "sensitive" approach to things and generally tender heart, though it may not always be entirely obvious to him. She's come to show him considerably more patience after the death of his wife, Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn, fully aware of the immense pain he undoubtedly suffers for it. Renee appreciates Tausenadel for having much the same view of Limsa Lominsa and the thalassocracy's current regime as a truly worthy break from Limsa's not-always-upstanding past. Though it is not something she'd put to plain words for fear of embarrassing the man, she views Tausenadel as the kind of man most Limsans should be.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Vilsewaen Steinhoh]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Unlike Staelufre, Renee does not view Vilsewaen as a parental figure but a mentor and a friend. Through Vilsewaen, Renee's already spiritual view of the world deepened and developed into an appreciation of nobler callings than simple security.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 10px 15px;">At first glance, '''Renee Becquerel''' seems like nothing more than exactly what she appears to be: an often outspoken, occasionally romantically idealistic, Elezen woman in her mid-thirties. With conscious effort, she presents herself with the well-crafted appearance of a patriotic Lominsan and someone who pays no small attention to the trappings of luxury. With how easily (and knowingly) she can come across as a boisterous, excessively passionate extrovert, it can be easy to write off Renee as defined by seemingly shallow traits, but her superficial appearance is just that.

In the intimacy of a private setting, something she deeply values, Renee displays a level of deliberativeness and near-introversion her more stereotypically passionate qualities might not immediately suggest. Often to a fault, she is prone to introspective dwelling and places a great deal of importance on intimate personal relationships and, above all else, the embracing of honesty and the rejection of deceit.

While capable of considerable warmth and as someone who proclaims herself to be an idealist and a romantic (in a philosophical sense), Renee is no less capable of pragmatism, even to a harsh degree. The same jealous protection she wards over the people and things she values most extends to a hard heart when it comes to those who've proven incompetent or malignant to the point they cannot be trusted among the more valuable. This same penchant for hard-heartedness informs the colonialist attitude she takes towards much of Eorzea, as she believes the Thalassocracy to be far and away the most superior and modern of the Eorzean city-states and the one best-equipped, at least as a society, to combat the threats Eorzea faces from without. How this hasn't translated into hostility towards other nations is anyone's guess.

Many might know her as a Storm Captain of the Maelstrom and an outspoken proponent for the integration and assimilation of refugees from Othard, Doman Hyur and Au Ra alike, into Lominsan society. An outspoken patriot and borderline jingoist, Renee is a minor politico within the Thalassocracy, believing deeply in the unique liberty of Limsa Lominsa<br>

<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>LIKES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Honesty'''<br>
Above all else, Renee values honesty and lives a philosophy centred around the idea and ideal of its pursuit, dedicated to it to the point that she avoids actively deceiving others at all costs.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Music'''<br>
Not just a bard, but a Limsan and the child of a sailor, Renee generally prefers singing and harps as both make for easy travel. Rarely, she can be found wielding a fiddle.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Writing'''<br>
Believing herself partially responsible for the future of the bardic arts, Renee is a hoarder of fantastic-yet-true stories.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Woodworking'''<br>
An artefact of her time in the Shroud, Renee is a carpenter of considerable artistic talent and, upon returning to Limsa Lominsa, learned the skills of a shipwright.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Limsa Lominsa'''<br>
Patriotic nearly to a fault, Renee believes deeply in both the might and right of her homeland. She is deeply loyal to the thalassocracy, its Admiral, and the rule of law they represent.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''The word "motherly"'''<br>
Renee's attitude towards much of The Coral Sea, the membership of the same, and a few of her personal friends has taken a fairly parental turn as she's managed to slowly mature to the point a few have called her out on it. She can't help but feel it's proof she's actually matured as a person.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>DISLIKES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Dishonesty'''<br>
Be it people causing harm by lying to others or causing harm by lying to themselves, Renee openly dislikes people who live their lives without at least passing regard to the value of honesty.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Cowardice'''<br>
Renee will readily encourage people who can't fight for themselves to think of their own safety, but one of the easiest ways to lose her respect is to have the power to act and choose not to out of fear.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Selfishness'''<br>
Renee has no problem with self-interest and a desire for personal gain, but she draws a stark line with people who live their lives at the detriment of others.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Pirates'''<br>
Renee appreciates the history of piracy Limsa had to claw out of and is openly hostile to people who romanticise it and worse to those who would try to bring it back.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Racism'''<br>
Between being an adventurer and having grown up in a city with few Elezen, Renee has little tolerance for those with little tolerance.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''The word "motherly"'''<br>
For however much she might like whatever the word might represent, it being used to describe her makes her uncomfortable on a deep, visceral level.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>MOTIVATION</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Security'''<br>
The Becquerels are a family of the dead and dying and Renee's own life has been defined by a great deal of aimlessness. She eagerly seeks to have a place of her own, both literal and figurative, where she can settle down to a peaceful, prosperous life.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Redemption'''<br>
Renee walks around with her fair share of regrets for decisions made in the past. While she's emotionally balanced enough they don't bog her down, she has an inherent desire to prove to herself that she is, in fact, a truly worthwhile person.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Love'''<br>
A passionate idealist, Renee's a true romantic and values love as not just the gratification of another, but an ideal truly worthy of earnest pursuit. She cares about loving and earning the love of those she cares about.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Self-Control'''<br>
As something she once had a desperate lack of, Renee puts a great deal of weight on self-control and maintaining it within reason, but that doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy life. Renee eagerly seeks a life of...</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Hedonism'''<br>
A trait she's always had and, for a time, suffered for. Whether she's an earnest and passionate bon vivant or a demented and mentally-unwell lecher might be up for debate, but Renee values the chance to live her life well and share the pleasures of that life with others.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>STRENGTHS</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Tenacious'''<br>
A quality that's defined much of her later life and earned her standing in the Maelstrom. Renee is deliberate about when she engages in conflict, but when she does, she draws stark lines and is willing, if not always eager, to make decisions, come what consequences may.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Loyal'''<br>
Though she tries to be at least genial with most everyone she meets, Renee rarely gives others the benefit of her intensely trusting loyalty. To those she does, it is an earnest bond and one that is desperately hard to break and rarely broken without dire cost.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Passionate'''<br>
When anyone or anything manages to gain her true affections, Renee's overwhelming earnestness is either an incredible boon or a terribly obnoxious problem. This is especially the case with people she believes need her protection, guidance, or otherwise meddling.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Intelligent'''<br>
Being quick-witted and well-educated makes Renee a strong thinker with a tendency to delve into the philosophical. On the battlefield, Renee is a deliberate tactician who rarely leaps into a fray without a well-formed and flexible plan.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Socially Deft'''<br>
If nothing else and when it doesn't violate her devotion to an honest life, Renee is capable of practised social grace and considerable charisma or, failing that, considerable superficial charm and outright manipulation.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Confident'''<br>
She's aware of her flaws, even pride, but she believes strongly in herself as a good, worthwhile person. The confidence she shows extends far beyond superficial bravado.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>WEAKNESSES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Prideful'''<br>
For better or worse and often worse, Renee believes herself inherently better than most people. While she has her talents and usually keeps this fault in check, it is entirely possible for her self-righteous habits to come through and rarely do they do so in a way that inspires more confidence than aggravation in others.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Meddling'''<br>
While it might be born out of caring for people, Renee has a terrible and terribly obnoxious habit of meddling in the lives of those she feels a combination of worthy, interesting, and needy.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Jealous'''<br>
Renee's jealousy goes hand-in-hand with her deep trust. She's protective of what and who she considers hers and, for how much she cares about loving and being loved, fears the loss of those very loved ones.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Occasionally Tactless'''<br>
Appreciating open honesty has its downsides. While rarely oafish, Renee tires quickly of showing "unnecessary" grace to people she considers fools and will gladly deliver hard, honest truths just to be done with a frustrating issue. This rarely actually makes anything better.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Introspective'''<br>
Being aware of this fault, she seeks the company of those she has some intimate connection with, but her pride often gets the best of her and causes her to fail to fully divulge in just what way she's suffering. When this happens, she tends to pull away from people, dwell on her discomfort, and succumb to a grim moodiness.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>QUIRKS</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''"Flowery"'''<br>
From ornate speaking habits, to wild gestures of her hands, and to how she dresses, Renee is especially showy. Whether or not it's ridiculous ostentation or simply a genuine love of theatrics is impossible to tell for sure, but it's a presentation she lowers only when matters require she dial herself down from a solid 11.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Intensely Spiritual'''<br>
Much of Renee's adult life has been defined by the spiritual and it shows. She measures problems in equal parts between mortal concerns and those of a "higher" nature. An experience with either death or near-death only intensified this.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Handsy'''<br>
There's a point between "fond acquaintance" and "dear friend" where Renee becomes really quite uncomfortable and cares little for personal space.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Lacks Self-Control'''<br>
In some areas of her life, Renee possesses incredible discipline and self-control. In other areas of her life, that is absolutely, positively not the case. Her waistline is doubtlessly a clue to one of those areas.</div>

<div style="float:left;margin:15px;border:1px solid #180618;width:300px;background:#ece8bd;">
<div><div align=left><div style="height:425px;width:300px;">[[File:Renee_Appearance.png]]</div></div></div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 15px;">To put it simply, Renee is short and noticeably overweight. At six fulm and one ilm and weighing every bit of three hundred and fifty ponze, she sports a full, vaguely pearish, and generally overfed figure that's definitely plainly fat more than what some might idealise as “curvy”. As one would expect from a well-travelled Eorzean, even considering the usual "fine" build of an Elezen and her and doughy figure, she has a hearty bearing that betrays a healthy layer of muscle hidden beneath her soft exterior that serves to further widen her silhouette and suggest she's built more for strength than speed.

Though her plump features easily carry a smile, they can just as easily turn stern at a moment's notice. Her face runs a little long with defined cheekbones framing a rather prominent nose. Her sharp, cunning eyes are mismatched; one a dark green, the other a bronze brown and sit beneath a fine brow, often in the earliest stages of a wolfish grin, crooked to match lips that often bear the start of some snotty expression with dark lipstick usually making them look fuller than they actually are.

While she keeps plenty of more practical armour and clothing, Renee's sense in fashion occasionally nears the elegant but more often dives into the showy and downright extravagant. Sweeping coats, contrasting colours, deep necks, and ample jewellery make it easy to pick her out of a crowd as long as she’s not surrounded by Elezen of more average height. The same care for her physical appearance carries over to her grooming as she obviously pays meticulous attention to her hair, skin, and nails keeping them all in the best condition one could reasonably expect from an adventurer. Usually lingering around her is the scent of floral perfume, moisturising oils, and a faint hint of fragrant tobacco, making her presence just that much more obnoxious.

</div></div>
<br>
<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #5a1d33;font-size:20px;color:#ece8bd;letter-spacing:0.2em;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;font-weight:bold;">COMBAT</div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 10px 15px;">Renee is a surprisingly deadly combatant, making up for what she lacks in certain areas of physicality with a calm, tactical mind, brutal efficiency, and, when necessary, overwhelming force utterly divorced from any concept of proportional response. Renee took up the gun with the spread of modern mechanics as the product of combining Lominsan tactics and Ishgardian technology. Though her technical technical as a machinist don't set her ahead of her field, her aim with and understanding of firearms makes up for her shortcomings in the more cutting-edge aspects of her field.

While she does have some cursory training in other weapons and the sword in particular, this training serves largely as a means of exercise and general combat practise. Her field of expertise is absolutely ranged combat and she relies heavily on the tactics of that speciality. What sets her apart as a combatant is a well-focused calm, eschewing anger and instead focusing on the task at hand with a calm and usually lethal intent. Renee is well aware of her abilities in direct combat and while that is indeed a weakness, she makes it a very difficult to exploit it usually by engaging in tactics many might call unfair.

In terms of both her abilities in combat and her general personality, Renee does not take well to light scraps or, in fact, "honourable" combat. She relies on stealth, the element of surprise, efficiency, and even what some might call actual cheating to ensure victory. Certainly, Renee is not at all embracing the expectations that come with her appearance as a means to get close and land a decisive blow before a fight even begins in earnest. Her attitude towards combat as a lawless affair that must be ended as swiftly as possible goes a long way to explain just why she so eagerly avoids prolonged violence until absolutely necessary.</div></div>

<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Aye, Becquerel? I knew that gawky shite a good epoch back. More charm than wits with that one, got run out of Limsa after years of chasing women and laying with the wrong fathers' daughters. Got that 'appetite' under control well enough now, though.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Captain Becquerel's a fine officer, certainly, but uh... Well I did hear she almost throw a private off a bridge for questioning orders direct from the Admiral. Only almost! She's wonderfully loyal to the thalassocracy, maybe a little rabid, but... Well, yes, very loyal!”<br>

<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “She's a fine enough woman, isn't she? But she's ''not'', though. I knew that Becquerel back when he was still Renaud, oh was he a charmer and he had hands like you wouldn't believe... Not right though, is it?

Hells, I beat a half-dead fishback the rest of the way with the damned thing and it still works a treat! Can't tell you what she learned in Gridania, but be damned if Limsa don't need more woodworkers of her grade.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “Becquerel? I worked with him or, rather, ''her'' isn't it now? Certainly fine work from an outsider and a good deal more trustworthy than a lot of adventurers before the Calamity, if not quite as skilled. Really thought they were going to settle down and stay, join up with the Gods' Quiver. Good sort, they are, if a bit brutal. 'Tis rare to see an outsider hunt the Coerlclaw so viciously. Suppose fear's a good a tactic as any.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “What, the dark-skinned, loud, 'Wildwood' with too much jewellery? Surely you mean that Friloux woman, don't you? Oh, I suppose that could be Becquerel, too, but really, it's half-dozen of one, six of the other, isn't it? Even look alike... huh.”<br>
'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:14px;">- a merchant in Ul'dah selling imported bows</font>'''</div>
<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “Madame Becquerel? I repaired her roof, you know. The woman's an absolute terror, even if she is every bit of a hundred years old. Suppose that's Ishgardians for you, isn't it? Even when they leave the place for good, they take a little bit of it with them, don't they? Related to those weird Valentione folk as I hear it told! Wait, you mean her grandchild? Hells, don't much know them.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#706b68;">■</font> “I knew Vivienne and Beauvissoix, Thal keep them, lovely folk they were, died fighting at Carteneau. But their child? Could've come from Vivienne's stock, sure enough, she was a bit of a mix herself, but I knew her damned well and she was barren, couldn't conceive. Now I don't know many dark-skinned Elezen Beauvissoix was close to, but I do know a certain brothel owner who was friend to both of them.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#706b68;">■</font> “Captain Becquerel's a good officer, certainly, and a fine example of why we let our officers have such free reign, but she's not nearly as smooth as that grin of hers would have you think. After what happened with Shyrdoenwyn, Becquerel nearly getting done in by his own first mate... The man was ''dead'', let me tell you. You don't bleed that much and live. He got back on his feet, sure enough, but you spend that many moons having to work just to breathe while putting that much into trying to fix your First Mate? Little wonder he took it so hard when she died. I'm damned surprised he didn't break down more than he did. I probably wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror either, but then... She doesn't have to see that old face anymore, does she?”<br>

<div style="margin-top:-20px;font-size:14px;">
: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Annaliese Sellecere]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Met through Giselle, Renee appreciates Annaliese's more serious attitude and appreciates even more that attitude doesn't go far enough to become sour and unpleasant. Between Giselle and Annaliese, Renee has the feeling of actually belonging to a relatively normal social group, even if most of what they do together is smoke, gossip, and meddle in the lives of people who don't want them meddling in their lives.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Chise Tobukizu]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font>/<font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>

: <div> For almost no explicable reason, Renee absolutely adores Chise and feels a genuine, eager love for her. Renee likes the person Chise is but she sees in Chise something she has seen in others and, to a much lesser extent, sees in herself. She seems someone for whom any hope of true normalcy was stolen by war. Worse yet, she sees someone who has been so robbed of any concept of a normal, healthy, stable life that she can't recognise just how unsustainable her own life is. Still, Renee doesn't pity Chise outright, she merely sees Chise's happiness as a kind of personal project, as something good she wants to bring into the world. The obliviousness she feigns around much of Chise's discomfort with open affection is something she believes she does for Chise's sake as, in her mind, the discomfort is nothing more than a kind of growing pain. All her meddling and affection aside, Renee has no real end-game plan for Chise beyond wanting to work with her organisation much in the way the Maelstrom works with the Upright Thieves and obnoxiously intertwining her life with Chise's if for literally no other reason than she really, truly does love the awful creature.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div> Dhemgeim was a friend and a catalyst for an immense amount of change in Renee's life, including some of the most obvious. Though they were wildly different people, Renee viewed their lives as oddly similar, capable of great potential but hampered by deep flaws. It was Renee's experience with Dhemgeim, both in life and in death, that turned her desire to enable the potential of others into a more nurturing and even parental desire to protect the good in others. In death, Dhemgeim holds a unique place in Renee's heart and while she will own the woman's flaws, Renee assertively defends Dhemgeim's memory.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Ehla Selhah]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')</div>
:Almost immediately upon meeting her, Renee was fond of Ehla and that fondness only grew with time and has evolved into a unique and, arguably, uniquely unhealthy relationship. They share much of their senses of humour, though Ehla tends to be the more vindictive of the two. With Ehla's tendency to not just hide the truth but lie outright, Renee dreads the possibility of being unable to tell what from Ehla is true and what isn't, but is fond enough of her to trust her. Being a romantic but not an idiot, Renee is well aware Ehla is deeply flawed but sees her as a victim of circumstances and otherwise a genuinely good person. For better or worse (arguably usually worse), Renee wants little more from Ehla than honesty and love.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Georgette Friloux]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Renee deeply values everything Georgette did for her in her youth. Georgette and the Muse provided Renee a healthy, or at least non-destructive, outlet for what was almost certainly a form of addiction. For better or worse, Renee almost sees Georgette as a role model, an intelligent and generally shrewd woman who knows well how to guard what is hers, whatever her motivations might be.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Giselle Friloux]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Given their almost unseemly similarities, Giselle and Renee made fast friends with one-another. The two have an odd connection through Giselle's mother, Georgette, but met and became friends independently, though their mutual appreciate for the Muse - Georgette's brothel - hastened the growth of their friendship. The bizarre similarities between Renee and Giselle are a frequent subject of discussion and humour, but they write off these similarities as coincidence. They are, in fact, complete idiots.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Jancis Milburga]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Renee appreciates Jancis' seemingly unflinching grace as a diplomat and views her as an almost aspirational figure as Renee believes her to be someone considerably more "normal" than herself while still being uniquely decent.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[L'aenoh Tia]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>An officer of The Coral Sea and a friend. Given his "unique" personality, Renee choosing L'aenoh as an officer lead to some consternation with certain members of the company, but it was a decision Renee has been glad to see validated by a stalwart and surprisingly reliable companion. With L'aenoh having married her sister, Renee accepts the man as a brother.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Leanne Delphium]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Leanne is a target of Renee and Giselle's meddling. Renee can't help but appreciate how well the Miqo'te handles the undoubtedly irksome attention and is generally graceful in her dealings with others, obnoxious, meddlesome Elezen or otherwise.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Memeli Meli]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Though some might see Memeli as worryingly "eccentric", Renee sees her as surprisingly intelligent, cunning, and somehow oddly compassionate. Renee believes she and Memeli share certain traits on a superficial level, but the exact extent of those traits is so different that their differences contrast and complement one-another for the better.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Reinette Sompt]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font>/<font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Without a doubt, Renee deeply cares for Reinette and aches for every pain the woman feels. To say Renee is in love with Reinette is a massive understatement but Renee is emotionally healthy and generally mature enough to live with her unrequited affections (usually) without inflicting herself on the poor woman any more than she already does with everyone else, though her bias for Reinette often blinds her to the woman's very mortal flaws. With Reinette now serving as Renee's First Officer and Practitioner to The Coral Sea, Renee has taken it upon herself to do what she can to improve Reinette's lot in life and help the woman see the good in herself.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Rinhilda Stonebreaker]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')</div>
: <div>Rinhilda represents the stable, reliable life Renee wants for herself in the long-term. Their relationship started around doing light adventuring work together, but as Rinhilda left the lifestyle of adventuring, Renee started getting an idea of just what it means to live a more "normal" life.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Sarchetseg Horo]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>To Sarchetseg, Renee is something she never thought she could be, a mother. Renee quickly bonded with the young Doman refugee, her plight leaning hard on every one of Renee’s buttons to the point she quickly took on the young Doman as a ward and a daughter soon after. Regardless of whatever she may represent, Sarchetseg is Renee’s most treasured possession and, in turn, Renee dotes on her with no small excess of love, wanting only the very best for the sweet-natured refugee. Of course, it's entirely reasonable to say the young woman has no real need for a mother but as unhealthy as Renee's possessiveness might be, her life is inarguably better for it.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Staelufre Lysmerl]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Staelufre is one of the one of the first people Renee consistently travelled with and fought alongside as an actual partner. Renee very much views their relationship as familial to the point of calling her sister and grants the Miqo'te no small amount of leeway and favouritism. In spite of whatever Staelufre may see Renee as, Renee sees Staelufre as a peer and a dear companion in life.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Tausenadel Geispsyrsyn]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>An officer of The Coral Sea and someone Renee considers a friend. Renee appreciates Tausenadel's more "sensitive" approach to things and generally tender heart, though it may not always be entirely obvious to him. She's come to show him considerably more patience after the death of his wife, Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn, fully aware of the immense pain he undoubtedly suffers for it. Renee appreciates Tausenadel for having much the same view of Limsa Lominsa and the thalassocracy's current regime as a truly worthy break from Limsa's not-always-upstanding past. Though it is not something she'd put to plain words for fear of embarrassing the man, she views Tausenadel as the kind of man most Limsans should be.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Vilsewaen Steinhoh]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Unlike Staelufre, Renee does not view Vilsewaen as a parental figure but a mentor and a friend. Through Vilsewaen, Renee's already spiritual view of the world deepened and developed into an appreciation of nobler callings than simple security.</div>
