Takeya's devoted DearS, Ren, was discovered by him after her suspension pod was lost and damaged during transport. At first, she had no name, but Takeya named her "Ren" after the first word of her identification number, at which point she "imprinted" on him. According to DearS law, a slave who chooses her own master is seen as having the 'Gift' and is considered sacred. In the DearS language, Ren means "zero," making her one of the imperfect "Zero-Numbers," which were not meant to be revealed to the public. Ren is big-breasted and beautiful, captivating Takeya and his classmates, though she requires constant supervision due to her unfamiliarity with human customs and Japanese culture. She absorbed the Japanese language in just one night using a stack of textbooks and dictionaries that Takeya had intended to use for teaching her. Her favorite food is melon bread, which she adores with a ravenous appetite.
