Renee

Renee is Claymore No. 6 of the current generation and is a defensive type. She serves as the new "Eye" of the Organization now that Galatea has left.

Etymology
"Renee" is a transliteration of the Japanese "Rune" (ルネ, pronounced "ru-ne").

"Renee" derives from the Late Latin "Renatus," meaning "born again." Name of a 16th Century French princess.

Appearance
Renee's pale hair is worn in cornrow braids. She wears the standard Claymore uniform and has silver eyes and full lips. She appears similar to a female of African descent.



Personality
She possesses high intelligence, demonstrated when she stalls for time using regeneration as an excuse, then takes a yoki suppressant pill to aid her escape.

Wide Yoki Sensing
As the new "Eye" of the Organization, Renee can sense yoki at very long distances. This skill is the object of Riful's efforts to awaken the merged Luciela-Rafaela.

Yoki Manipulation
Renee is an "Eye" and all Claymores used as such by the Organization are capable of yoki manipulation to some extent. It is currently unknown how powerful Renee's yoki manipulation actually is.

Employment as a Claymore
Renee first appears outside Doga village (Scene 82). Raki and Priscilla visit his hometown, while looking for a Yoma. Raki manages to kill it before her.

Renee arrives on the scene and questions Raki. She asks how he detected the Yoma, but he does not reveal the truth. But Renee finds out on her own when she finally detects the yoki of Priscilla.

Raki finds out that Clare is no longer in the Organization. Later, outside Doga, Riful of the West captures Renee because of her yoki sensing abilities.

Renee wakes up in Riful's dungeon with limbs amputated and impaled by Dauf's rods. Riful tells her she will let her reattach her limbs and release her if she cooperates. Renee is shown Luciela-Rafaela. Renee is to awaken them using her Yoki. When Renee enters the merged entity's mind, she realizes it must never awaken.

Renee stalls for time, so she can reconnect her legs and escape. When Clare and Dauf fight upstairs, this distracts Riful, giving Renee the chance to escape. When Riful leaves, Renee takes yoki suppressant and tries to escape. Riful notices Renee's yoki disappear. Dauf and later Riful pursue Renee.

Renee's fate is unknown. Riful later explains Renee's reason for escape—"there would have been nothing left" if she had remained when Luciela-Rafaela awoke.

Riful and Dauf
Renee had the misfortune of crossing Riful and Dauf's paths and, during her brief encounter, ended up their prisoner due to her skill at yoki sensing. With her legs initially severed to prevent from escaping, Renee was forced by the Abyssal One to awaken the slumbering Luciela-Rafaela.
