The Top Ten Most Disturbing Anime Characters: Rena Ryugu

I shall ignore Pisces' earlier comment about Anime sucking, because I'm going to shoot him down tomorrow. Either that or I'm going to nuke the school from Russia. Naturally. So, without much delay, here's the next part of  'The Top Ten Most Disturbing Anime Characters'.

At the beginning of this lovely little horror show known as 'When They Cry', you see someone getting beaten to death with a baseball bat (how lovely). You instantly know that this is going to be graphic and gory all the way.

One of the main characters is a girl called Rena Ryugu. At the beginning she appears lovely, sweet and she randomly bursts out with "I'M TAKING IT HOME!" whenever she sees something she deems cute (i.e. everything). However, when you get to episode three, you begin to see some changes.

Now I'm not sure if this is all in the mind of Keiichi (the main character of this arc), but it's still frightening as heck. Her original name was Reina and she moved out of Hinamizawa due to unknown reasons. As the story progresses, we find out she smashed all the windows in her school and beat up three boys she used to be friends with in the process (one lost his eye), and that isn't even the scary part. In the first arc, she starts her little horror act by following Keiichi everywhere without him knowing or it being possible. I have only one current quote now, but it's still creepy:

You just need to watch this part of one episode to understand the general creepiness of Rena. She gets worse too.

Later on in the show, after somehow recovering from death numerous times, she is the one that becomes the main character and, slowly but surely, goes completely insane, holding the whole school hostage and torturing one of the main characters in front of the children.

The main reason for her being on this list is because she appears so sweet and innocent numerous times in the show and you really get to like her. It's just like what they say: When she was good, she was very, very good, but when she was bad she was Horrid (or insane).

Here's a picture of her to cheer you up now. The green one is her friend, who sadly didn't make it onto the list.
This is one high school student you don't want to meet at the end of an alleyway.
Signing off!    Rinrei
