Ren Shiratori (白鳥蓮, Shiratori Ren) is an angel who belongs to the Stellarian Shiratori clan. He was born and raised in Stellaria, where he befriended Haruka Mochizuki as a child and fell in love with her. He still lives in the capital of heaven and now works for one of the Highest there.
Appearance
Ren has light blonde hair that reaches slightly past his shoulders. His eyes are light blue. In his angelic form, he also has white wings and pointed ears. Like most angels, Ren has no angel marks. He also has a scar on the right side of his stomach, below his chest. He usually wears traditional Celestial clothing, even when he is on earth, but this is rarely the case. When he does wear other clothing, it is rather plain.
Personality
Ren is a rather vain and arrogant person, although many angels are like that. He wasn't like this as a child, but this changed as he got older. When it comes to his work, he is very reliable and conscientious. When it comes to other species, especially humans and demons, he is quite condescending and intolerant. He is also very set in his ways and it is difficult to change his mind.
Relationships
The two are childhood friends and often met up to play when Haruka and her family were still living in Stellaria. After that, they hardly ever saw each other before they finally broke off contact. They only saw each other many years later. At that time, Haruka was already dating Akaya, which Ren didn't like very much, as he himself is in love with Haruka. The two are no longer friends and don't get on particularly well
Ren thinks very little of the demon and believes that Haruka deserves better than him. When the two meet, it usually doesn't end well. By now Ren is trying to avoid meeting the demon.
Ren only knows Hina from when he was a child. Back then, he got on quite well with her, even if he was always a little more reserved towards her. He has not seen her since her return and is unaware that she is still alive. Let alone that she is now living in hell with the demon lord.
He has not yet met the Lord of Hell in person. However, he doesn't think much of him. He knows that Hina used to be in a relationship with him and blames him for the fact that Hina died because not even a “powerful” demon like him could save her. Of course, the demon lord is actually very powerful, but Ren has been doubting this ever since the attack on Hina.
He got along well with the Mochizuki couple as a child. Since contact then broke off, he hardly had anything to do with them from then on. He only met Ryūji from time to time in Stellaria.
His encounter with the demoness was not very positive, as she tried to eat him. Since he is also afraid of spiders, the encounter with the Jorogumo was even more unpleasant for him. He would prefer to never meet her again.
Ren has only met the couple briefly once. He is quite neutral towards them and takes no further interest in them.

Quotes
- "I still think that if you are already with her, you should look after her properly instead of working. Do you want her to live like a human forever? Besides, you can be glad that I looked after her in Stellaria. Otherwise no one probably would have. Then no one would have helped her." - to Akaya about Haruka
- "You knew she was dangerous yourself and sent him after her. Besides, your hus- he won't usually let anyone else get close to you." to Haruka about Sayuri
- "You demons are all the same. And I'm beginning to doubt more and more that you can protect Haruka. When I think about that not even Valkyro managed to look after Hina." - to Akaya
- "I'm not saying the angels were innocent in this situation. But they (demons) brutally murdered a young, innocent woman who had absolutely nothing to do with it. And if not even a high-ranking demon like Valkyro could prevent or help something like that, then you are telling me you can protect Haru?" - to Akaya
- "I'm sure you'll be even prettier (than Hina)..." - to Haruka when they were kids
Etymology
- The name Ren means "lotus, water lily" (蓮, ren).
- Ren's surname Shiratori means "white" (白, shira) and "bird" (鳥, tori).
