SOURCE OF TRANSFORMATION: Aro
PLACE OF ORIGIN: England
HAIR COLOR: Pale brown
EYE COLOR: Red/black (vampire)
HEIGHT: 4‘8?
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: If not for her girlish face and full lips, Jane could be mistaken for a preteen boy. She is quite short, and her childlike voice is high and thin. She usually speaks with an air of apathy or boredom. Despite all this, she has a commanding presence.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: She can cause people to experience excruciating pain that instantly incapacitates them. She can inflict this pain on only one target at a time; she must be able to see her victim to use her gift on him or her.
EDUCATION/OCCUPATION: She is a member of the Volturi guard.
FAMILY/COVEN RELATIONSHIPS: Her twin brother, Alec, is also a member of the Volturi guard. Guard members show the Volturi the loyalty they would family.
PERSONAL HISTORY:
Jane was chosen by Aro while she was still a human child. Aro‘s plan to let Jane and her brother mature with their human family backfired when superstitious locals condemned them as witches and sentenced them to death by fire. Aro arrived barely in time to save Jane and Alec from their accusers. While Alec focused his psychic powers on escaping his own pain, Jane was consumed with the desire to inflict her pain on those who were hurting her. This desire shaped her vampire talent into a very effective weapon.
While Alec — with his ability to use his gift on a great number of targets concurrently — is more advantageous in open battle, Jane‘s talent is more often used. As evidenced during Edward, Alice, and Bella‘s visit to Volterra, Jane‘s talent is frequently utilized to control potentially aggressive vampires. Just having her on hand usually guarantees Aro a polite and compliant audience.
In the field Jane inspires a great deal of fear, which is helpful to the Volturi attack strategy, as well as to their reputation.

Renata was born into an unusual, vampire-friendly family that has produced several vampires over the centuries, including, many years after Renata, a nomad named Makenna.

Luca, wanting no trouble with the Volturi — the way he interacted with his human relatives was already a gray area — encouraged her to go.
Thanks to Chelsea, Renata became exceptionally loyal to the Volturi, particularly Aro.
On Aro‘s instructions, Chelsea attached Renata to Aro alone, rather than to all the leading Volturi together. Renata is so tightly bound to Aro that she would rather die than see him harmed. When Aro leaves Volterra, she is always at his side. She is able to repel attackers from herself and anyone in close physical proximity to her. Her gift causes assailants to become confused as they approach her. They find themselves moving in a new direction, with
