Renge Shima

Renge Shima was a very good student, who had a terrible day that changed her life. On her way to her high school entrance exam, she was sidetracked and missed her exam. In addition to that, on her way to school, she was involved in one of Sabato's schemes, and became labeled as a Damashigami.

With her Shinigami reputation ruined by Sabato, Renge has no choice but to work as a Damashigami to pay the bills. She hates Sabato for ruining her life, and that hatred carries over to his son Rinne as well. In addtion to that, her old rival from elementary school, Ageha, has popped up again, and is a constant thorn in her side.

One of the few bright spots in her life is her romantic longing for Kain. However this is complicated as he has no idea about her career as a Damashigami, an organization that he is trying to destroy. Renge has been forced to move into the empty room next to Rinne's in the abandoned clubhouse, where she plots and schemes about how to take over the Damashigami Company for herself.
