Takagi Reni
高城 れに
たかぎ れに
「Electric girl」, most commonly referred to as Reni(-chan)
Momoclo’s eldest member, and also arguably the very first person to join Momoclo, being part of the roster when Momoclo was still just a project on paper with not even a proper group name yet. Because of her seniority, she was also the first leader of the group, later handing the position over to Kanako in November of 2008. Although she’s the eldest member, by all means she seems more like the clueless, protecting big-sis type.
When you think of Reni, probably the first thing that stands out is her smile. Unlike Kanako’s contagious laugh, Reni’s smile is more of the healing type, giving a calm and relaxing feeling, and just generally cheerful.
Reni nearly always has a smile on her face
Reni with a more mature look still looks great!
But for me, I love “natural” Reni the best
She is the “clown character” of Momoclo, in no small part because of her erratic way of thinking and acting, to the point that even other members call her “weird.” If there’s ever a person on Momoclo most likely to go off the walls crazy on shows or programs, it would have to be Reni.
Another thing of note is her seemingly endless energy. Indeed, she is probably what we can describe as a “genki girl,” always yelling or jumping around. This is really noticeable in Momoclo’s 24 hour programs, where in contrast to other members who look exhausted by the next day, she is still cheerful and fooling around like usual.
I really wonder if her randomness and weirdness is her actual personality, or maybe just a persona?
Whatever the case, it seems that Reni is enjoying this role thrust upon her.
Besides this, it also seems that Reni is the chief provider of comfort among the members, being the one to reach out to the others in private life. Pretty fitting that she show signs of older sister affection considering she is the eldest. (lol)
In any case, one really cannot help but to love this always smiling girl.
