Appearance
Nurren is small. Standing 5' even and weighing only 96 pounds. She is thin, almost on the scrawny side, which only proves to display the stringy muscles her life has forced her to develop. She is under nourished, her ribs, hips, shoulders and clavicle standing out against her skin, though this state of existence seems to be normal for her, hardly effecting her stamina or strength. She is mature, some where between 17 and 23, though if you ask she wont tell you. She has small breasts, which actually fit her body type.
She takes good care of her teeth, nails and hair. Her teeth are strong, white and healthy. Her hair dark and thick. She keeps her nails short, not letting them tear or chip often. She usually keeps them 'sharpened', carrying files and other tools on hand to file them to points, a last ditch weapon when all else fails.
Her eyes are wide, seeming almost too large for her thin face. They are rimmed in by strong cheek bones and an equally strong jaw. Their soft grey-blue iris's easily and clearly display emotion. Her skin easily responds to whatever her environment, paling in dark, cool areas, tanning and burning in harsh sunlight. Her nose is medium sized and delicate looking, a small lump showing halfway down it, a sign of a previous break. Her lips just as delicate and pale. They are often peeling, and she has a habit of chewing on them.
She has dark hair, which she enjoys bleaching using natural chemicals or aged dyes. As such most of her hair is a drained grey color, though the roots are a stark black, matching her thin, smooth eyebrows.
She changes her hairstyle often, the color scheme changing from mostly grey with dark roots, to having several inches of black with grey tips, ect. She doesn't let it grow out long, usually cutting it with any knife on hand when it reaches her shoulders. She does manage, sometimes, to find proper tools for cutting and styling her hair. One find bound to get her in a fantastic mood is a bottle of hair glue or gel.

Inventory
Hunter Starter Pack - It's better than being hunted.
Ranged:
Hunting Rifle

Melee:
Hunting knife

Clothing:
Brahmin Skin Outfit

Special:
Hound - Noten (Ten)
Noten is a mutt, mixture of who knows how many breeds, all breeding for survival over the generations. Thus he has become adapted for life alone, scavenging, hunting, hiding. Even with this, he could easily be compared to an Australian Cattle Dog. Standing at 30 inches, and weighing 60 pounds he is larger than the average Cattle Dog (according to records), but his moderate build, sturdy, compact body, long legs, skull shape, and the rudderlike tail all fit that of the Aussy breed.
He is agile and quick, able to give sharp bursts of speed, while having an impressive endurance. Easily able to change directions and stop. Primly built for the rough life in the city and around it.
He is toned and fit, thick bunches of muscles existing under his short, thick coat. His thick, strong muzzle houses strong teeth and a healthy pink tongue, only a few patches of purple marring the fleshy color. His ears are set slightly apart, both pointed and, naturally perked. The right one is missing the top inch, a ragged tear marking the end of the ear, presumably from a scuffle with another dog. Scars mark his muzzle and cheeks, a distinct pale line standing out along his left eyebrow, from just above his eye down, missing the corner of his eye, to his cheek. Scars spot and mark the rest of his body, though none as stark as his 'eyebrow'.
He is a 'blue' dog. The majority of his coat a mixture of black and white hairs giving him a steely coloration. He is darker than the records show for cattle dogs, no light tan markings showing over his body. Instead his tail, ears, muzzle, ruff, back and legs shade to black. This coloration gives him natural camouflage in shadows. The very tip of his toes, a small flare on his chest, and a short blaze on his muzzle are a much lighter grey, near white, but not quite there.
He has sharp, stark eyes, intelligence showing in the greeny-gold orbs. He is intelligent, fast and loyal, again, befitting the Aussy breed. He is smart, able to recognize and comprehend threats and dangers easily. His sharp hearing, sense of smell and eye sight often give Nurren more knowledge of her surroundings than she herself is capable of. He acts as her guardian, protector, companion, family and friend, taking the place of all the other humanoids that have abandoned, abused and used her over her life.
Ren has fashioned a pack for him to wear, which straps around his chest and stomach, which she fills with any extra materials that either don't fit in her own pack, or she thinks would be better off of her person.

Additional Information
Bio: Ren doesn't remember much of her young life. She remembers hunger, pain and loss, as well as periods of content happiness, plentiful food, and new finds. She finds the past, for the most part, unimportant, and refuses to dwell on it. She has the same view for the future, finding it easier to not think or stress about it, instead just acting as best she can to prepare for anything that may happen. This 'anything can happen' scope of life both has its advantages and drawbacks. She is almost always prepared for something, hardly ever finding something that shocks her. Yet she constantly finds reasons for keeping things that may never become useful, making her a packrat. Though she collects anything that resembles something helpful, she does not stress over loosing things, making it easy for her to pick up and leave a place she called home or a hoard (though she always remembers where it is, for future reference.)
She was born and 'raised' in Brooklyn, the only real affect this beginning having on her is the overall opinion that the 'factions' that rule the city are just groups of power-hungry individuals with the firepower and goods to convince others to follow their ideals. Not one of the groups seems 'better' to her, and thus she avoids them. But it is impossible to utterly avoid any interaction with them, meaning she does her best to not unnecessarily piss any of them off. She does work for hire to whoever can pay, with the rule that it doesnt make any enemies for her.
She hasn't met many humanoids who have left an even remotely pleasant memory in her mind. Some are tolerable, and thus they are tolerated, for the most part. If you piss her off, insult her, or Noten, or show that your mind is 'weak' she will proceed to forget your existence. This causes many to see her as retarded or slow, finding fault in her unwillingness to interact with individuals she doesn't want to interact with. Due to this image she is often ignored herself, her aggressive reactions to threats and constant companion in Noten discouraging any physical abuse toward her, for the most part. She often takes people by surprise with her level of intelligence. She is by no means slow, thick or stupid. She is in fact rather intelligent, having learned, through what little interactions with people she's had to read, though she hasn't had the opportunity to learn how to write well. She has a surprising vocabulary and understands basic math and physics, as well as knowing basic anatomy of both human and dog, and many other little bits of knowledge that help her survive. She is relatively inept when it comes to machines.
She's spent her entire life in the city, existing as a small, barely remember-able, worker for hire, finding shelter in abandoned, falling apart buildings, finding food in the streets or animals on the outskirts of the city, and existing, quite capably on her own.
No one knows her well. She makes an effort to avoid repeated interactions, but even with that she has made a small reputation for herself. She is trustworthy, if she finds you trustworthy, and will not purposefully cheat, trick or swindle anyone she deals with, if she is not cheated, tricked or swindled first.

Talents and Quirks:
She has a specialty for close range, hand to hand combat.
Only speaks when she has something to say.
Trusts Noten with her life.
Is a bit of a packrat.
Obsessed with pockets and knives.
Never backs away from a fight, usually reacts with exponentially violent outbursts if threatened.
Skeptical of technology.
She is very agile and quick.
Knows basic medical knowledge.
Has a natural affinity towards animals.
