Wren

Lauren "Wren" Nascette is a character created by me. She is the first character in my OC canon.

Being my oldest character, Wren has undergone the most changes to her personality and background lore. Originally, she had been named "Etheral", and first used as a simple roleplaying character; over time, as I fleshed out her character, she ended up becoming the "everyman" OC I feel like everyone has at least one of. I officially renamed her to Wren in October 2022.

Wren as she is depicted was designed by myself.

About this character

Wren is an amateur alchemist and biomechanical engineer. She operates a potion brewing business out of her home through online storefronts, and primarily focuses on selling potions of transformation. She is assisted in her laboratory by an artificial intelligence named Iridium, who is able to converse with Wren outside the lab via a chip Wren implanted in her own brain. She canonically resides in the state of Pennsylvania with her partner Delphine and housemates Lina and Azzie.

Wren is generally polite, but is prone to excessive sarcasm and swearing when something gets on her nerves. For a long time, due in major part to her past traumas, she also had major attachment issues, but she has been able to work through this with support from Delphine, to whom she is greatly tender and loving. Wren has moderate chionophobia.

Wren's design has remained largely consistent in the time she's existed. Her most prominent physical features are her bright red hair and purple eyes; both of these resulted from her testing with genetic modulation. She is otherwise physically unremarkable. Her clothing preferences generally only include plain-colored garments, most often in red, pink, and/or black. She dislikes skirts and clothing that exposes her stomach.

Character lore

Wren is originally from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. As a young child, she expressed an interest in computer electronics, and frequently shadowed her father, who worked as a hardware engineer. In school, she excelled in math and science courses, and eventually took up passive research in biomechanics.

When she was 17 years old, Wren, her parents, and her younger sister, Angela, were of the victims caught in an avalanche while on a family skiing trip. Wren was the only person of her family to survive the incident. Distraught by the incident and emotionally lost, Wren fled across the border to the United States.

After settling in Erie, Pennsylvania, Wren sank deeply into alcoholism; she remained in a mental haze for roughly two years, after which she finally succumbed to the weight of her new reality and sobered up. In the span of that two years, Wren had become housemates with Lina and Azzie, discovered interdimensional travel and subsequently championed the Dimensional Indexing System, and started the potion business she maintains to this day.

Wren met Delphine in Paris, France while she was on a business trip. The two fell in love with each other during the length of the trip, and Delphine moved back to the United States with Wren. They were married on Wren's 23rd birthday.
