The master of this emotion, on one hand, fears this Doppel's power to incinerate an enemy's malice, and their entire personality, with a strong electric signal; but she is troubled by the allure of perhaps the only way to eliminate human malice without murder. In addition, this Doppel has power over life and death; when it appears, its master has an out-of-body experience as her spirit and flesh are momentarily parted. | „ |

Summary
Ren Isuzu (五十鈴 れん) is one of the main characters of the 2017 mobile game Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record.
She is a magical girl who has trouble talking to people and has been shy since she was little. Due to her isolation and the suffering she felt living every day, she was at the end of her rope, but after discovering the world of magical girls, she was able to pull herself up from rock bottom.
She has grown emotionally, but there are still times when she is timid. Before becoming a magical girl, she was teased and bullied because she had trouble speaking. For this reason, she chose to end her own life and jumped from a rooftop. After she jumped from the rooftop, she realized that was the first time she was scared of dying. Right at that moment, Kyubey appeared and ask her to make a contract with him. Ren just wanted to survive and asked him to save her.
After that, Ren became a magical girl and fought many witches, with the purpose to make the world a better place.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Allow me to write your continuation: Every magical girl has a connect skill. Every attack that a magic girl initiates charges up her connect gauge, which stores up to 3 charges. Once a magical girl's connect skill is full, it may execute a Connect. Ren's Connect allows her to take damage for an ally, evade the incoming attack and increase her attack by 40%.
- Soul Salvation: Her Magia allows Ren to use blue fire from her staff, which shatters into several fireballs and leads them towards her opponents. It also allows her to evade the incoming attack and heal 4% of her health for 3 turns.
- Doppel Renata: When her soul gem turns black, Ren transforms into her Doppel, Renata. This Doppel has the form of an electrocardiogram and has control over life and death. It can use electrical signals to remove evil's intents from the target, as well as its personality. When it appears, Ren’s mind temporarily separates from her body in an astral-projection state. The Doppel then emits electrical attacks towards Ren and use energy waves to attack the opponents. It also increases Ren's attack as HP lowers, allows her to evade the incoming attack and allows her to heal herself.
- Memoria: Ren can use several types of Memoria, most of which grant her the ability to take damage instead of an ally and to increse Ren's defense. She can only use up to 4 Memoria at a time.
- The Day I Came to Know the Light: Allows Ren to attack soon after an ally attack. However, it does not occur if the ally's attack defeats an enemy.
- The First and Last Page: It has 10% chance for Ren to take damage for an ally. It also has a 100% chance to take damage for Rika at any health if Ren and Rika are on a team together.
- First Handmade Chocolate: Allows Ren to increase her defense by 40% if she has less than 1/3 of her health and increases Ren's defense by 15%.
- Here With You: Increases the damage inflicted by Ren's Magia by 20%.
- My Dreams Continue After I Wake Up: It has 100% chance for Ren to take damage for an ally who has less than 1/3 of its health.
