    -Full Name: Akihiro Ren Yamada
    -Nickname: Ren
    -Gender: Female
    -Born: (as stated in the Bio Advice) On the Mainland
    -D.O.B: December, 12th, 2386S
    -Current Age: 19
    -Physical Appearance:
    * Dark brown, curly hair
    * Blue Eyes
    * Tall and strong
    * Tan skinned
    -Hobbies: Cooking and Drawing/Painting
    -Job: Akihiro is surprisingly strong (hence, her name meaning masculine) and works at the docks unloading merchandise from incoming ships and occasionally selling some of her mother's homemade dishes to the hungry sailors as well.
    -Current Job (Elpida): Ren lives and works alongside her father (a sailor). She is an amateur cook and on occasion sells her dishes to the locals (but as a living, Ren mainly sails; importing and exporting goods).
    -God: Because Ren's family is so involved with the ocean, they constantly call upon the Greek God Posiedon (God of the sea) for protection when traveling. Ren and her mother also pray to the Goddess, Hera, (associated with strength, marriage, and perhaps most important, family.) for protection and strength over the family and Ren's father.

    -Backstory: Akihiro Yamada (or Ren) was the first born of five (one sister and three brothers). Her Father (Dai Yamada) is a bold voyager and is frequently away charting mapped and un-mapped territory alike. Dai is away so often to support his large family (including Ren). When the Senate was formed, they wished to send a colonial ship to the island of Insulera. One of the crew members had fallen extremely ill and was unable to continue with the journey to the island. The Senate (knowing Ren's father's amazing reputation with the sea and voyaging) asked Dai (this is her father) to substitute for the sick crew member. Dai quickly agreed with little hesitation (considering the high wages) and was soon off to the mysterious island. (This all happened when Ren's youngest sister, Taki, was born.) Five years later, Ren's sister Taki had one day fallen ill. Her siblings and mother did everything they could but the medication and doctors on the mainland were just too primitive. Knowing Ren's love of the ocean and sailing (taught by her father when she was younger) her mother decided to send Ren to the island now called Elpida, to stay with her father and find a cure for Taki (there were rumors that Elpida had medications and wealth beyond anything the Mainlanders have ever seen). This is where Ren starts her voyage on a small boat given to her by her father (she is funded by her own earnings see Job Description) to the mysterious island, Elpida!


    -Signature Item: Ren is gifted with her hands (occasionally helping her mother with her cooking, drawing, and writing). She especially loves art and carries a sketchbook with her wherever she goes. She also uses the sketchbook, sometimes, as a log about her daily life and to keep track of sales (back when she was working on the docks).
    -Signature Item: When she was younger, Ren's mother gave her her own chef's hat (this is when she became interested in the culinary arts) and whenever Ren is cooking, she always wears the classic white chef's hat.

    -Personality: Ren is introverted and tends to keep to herself. After her sister became ill, her only goal was to obtain the necessary medications required to heal her in Elpida. Growing up, she was always different and didn't always fit in with other kids (because of her focus and dedication to her family and her hobbies, she seemed more mature then the others which the local kids on the mainland took as odd). Her mother worried about her mental health, but Ren didn't never seemed to mind the isolation (she was in fact living with three younger brothers and one day, a sister). When Taki (her sister) became sick, Ren was determined to obtain medicine, while also being thrilled to start a new life somewhere else (maybe other people wouldn't take her as an odd ball on Elpida...) and she was also exited to see her father ( who she hadn't seen in around four years. He always wrote to Ren's family, but his letters and seeing him in person just wasn't the same). (As mentioned in her backstory) She always loved to experiment around the kitchen (while most of her dishes were delicious, there were some failed attempts here and there...) and was exited to learn new recipes and experiment with new ingredients in a new location. Ren is viewed of more of the "strong silent type" but is very kind and gracious once you get past the introverted-ness.

    -Name and Heritage: Ren's Grandfather (on Dai's side) was a celebrated sailor and pearl diver with a reputation of being a bit of a dare devil when it came to the ocean which brought about his tragic death (he became stuck in a clam shell and drowned). Dai wanted his first-born to be named after his father (regardless of gender) and decided to comprimise a middle name with his wife (Ren's mother who wanted Ren's middle name to be after her Grandmother who was known for her skills in the kitchen). This is where Ren's first name of Akihiro had originated from. Dai's father was a Japanese sailor and pearl diver (as mentioned above) which makes Ren also amkes Ren Japanese. However, her mothers side of the family have lived on the Mainland for generations; all having the olive skin. Surprisingly, she does not resemble her father's Asian features like her siblings do. Instead, her appearance favors her mother's side. This is where Ren got her complexion from.

    This was a really enjoyable bio to read and the amount of detail regarding the character added to it. Only problem I found is the Gods you mentioned. Poseidon and Hera are not Gods in our world, so you will need to change those before I can approve your bio.
