Ren comes from a largish family, and grew up in the Ghostlands, on the coast. The Redglaives were not the most affluent family in the area, but were fiercely proud of their status as the major grocery for Windrunner Village. While most of the children have followed their hunter parents, two of the girls have rejected their humble origins in exchange for the more typical, elegant lifestyle of the magical elite. Their mother was killed during the Scourge invasion.
Varedis Redglaive
The eldest and the only son, Varedis was an extremely talented hunter and held his parents' only hope for extending the family name. He taught Ren most of what she knows, and she idolized him nearly as highly as Sylvanas Windrunner. To the family's shame, Varedis was lured in by Prince Kael'thas's promises of power in the Outlands, and on his orders, was sent to train as a demon hunter under Illidan. While flying through Shadowmoon Valley scouting for the Aldor, Ren and Holian spotted him at the Black Temple, and were fired upon by Varedis's orders. The sisters had a falling out when discussing whether or not Varedis had actually recognized them. Ren later returned with the Scryers to try and "save" him, but was unsuccessful. He is currently presumed dead. Ren still believes that he was tricked some way, and could never have willingly chosen that life. Holian is less hopeful - though in her words "less blind."
Varedis in lore
Holian Redglaive
The eldest daughter, Holian has devoted herself to the care and corralling of her sisters, with little to no success. Holian subscribes to her grandmother's worldview, which is in line with the Silvermoon elite. To her great frustration, she has not been able to convince her siblings to abandon the "low" lifestyle of their parents - being a part of the nature that surrounds them, rather than superior, impartial observers. Holian snubs hunters entirely, and has become a high-ranking paladin serving directly under Lor'themar Theron, and has been affiliated with the Aldor at points. With Ren and Ainelen out on their own, and their mother dead, Holian now devotes all her energies trying to push Nissa towards magical pursuits.
Renegdhén Redglaive
The middle child. Ren idolizes Sylvanas Windrunner, despite her transformation, and her brother Varedis. She had a falling out with Holian over the sighting of Varedis at the Black Temple, and has not spoken to her since. Ren has transferred her anger with Holian to the entire paladin class, but truthfully she's always found paladins annoying - an extension of the old rivalry between the two classes. She supports Ainelen in her pursuits but gets along best with Nissa. Though she claims to find druids annoying, the annoyance is rooted in admiration. She is obsessed with fishing, and as a consequence has learned to be an excellent cook. She sometimes runs errands for the "chef" of The Filthy Animal in Dalaran, which is how she's gotten to know the Legerdemain's owner, Arille Azuregaze. Apparently, she's incapable of flirting unless intoxicated.
Ainelen Redglaive
Quiet and antisocial. Ainelen has taken up the profession of rogue to capitalize on her natural wallflower abilities. None of her siblings hear much from her these days.
Nisendra Redglaive
Nissa is something of a hunter prodigy, though still too young to enter the academy. While their father and Ren are exceedingly pleased by this, their father harbors a certain fear, as Varedis was the very same way as a child. Nissa has a pet bear named Bubbles, which Ren trained with while she was in the academy.
