Canon: Vampire Knight
Canon Point: Vampire Knight Memories Chapter 7
Background: Chapters published so farVampire Knight WikiPersonality:Ren, despite being a thousand year old vampire, is actually quite young by comparison to most vampires in canon - the older ones, at least. Though, at a thousand he has experienced a full life, but not one without conflict.
Being the child of a pureblood vampire and a hunter, Ren has been heavily guarded his entire life by those closest in his family's circle of friends. Many people in both vampire society and on the hunter's side were not supportive of his birth. This is something he's had to be aware of as he's grown up. Ren had to learn to be a little suspicious and careful with who he puts his trust into. As a result, Ren is more liable to act first and allow an explanation later, regardless of the age or physical build of the individual he considers to be a threat. He is quick to defend people he cares about, or who he feels an obligation to, such as Kaname. The fact that Kaname carries Yuuki's heart inside of him is a major factor in that protection Ren grants him.
Ren is warm and gentle towards the people he cares about. His sister is someone who is especially important to him. Their relationship is to the extent that Ren instinctively knows how she'll react or want to react when she cannot voice it herself. He also voices thoughts that Ai has trouble putting into words. This knowledge particularly advantageous to his teasing nature, in regards to her. Something Ren enjoys is making her blush.
Ren has a kind personality and is somewhat softer in manner than his father. He is also quick to act and can be incredibly blunt. When meeting Kaname, Ai's birth father and the person who is alive due to his mother's sacrifice, he doesn't mince words. Ren even stated, very bluntly to Ai, that he wants to draw reactions from him and see him get riled up. This is most likely because of residual feelings of resentment he feels for Kaname. If not for him, his beloved mother would still be alive and with them. For that reason, he pushes buttons and waits for reactions to try and figure out how he feels about him and how to move forward.
It's clear that Ren is also a quick learner, and seems to enjoy domestic chores. He's good at cooking, and is happy to jump at the chance to do something he finds productive. While he does enjoy mundane tasks, he also is hinted at to be skilled in combat - though the extent of his knowledge of various weapons is unknown at this time as he isn't seen carrying one. Typicall vampires are skilled with physical prowess
Overall, Ren is almost a compliment to his sister's personality. While he can guarded toward strangers, in general he is warm, polite, honest, and possesses a great deal of love and affection. He has a huge heart, and doesn't take lightly the sacrifices of others.

Alignment: Diamonia would be the most aptly suited for Ren. Ren carries much of his emotions inside of himself and does not like secrets. It would cause him a great amount of grief to hold back who he is to not only Yuki and Zero, but to others around him. He has grown up knowing the fear of conflict between Vampires and Hunters and as such he would be very cautious about revealing his status as a vampire to other people. When Ren does share pieces of himself with others - namely his sister, Ai - in canon, he is shown to be playful and joyful, similar to his mother.
