Ranuen

Ranuen is a swordsman of small stature. Cursed by a witch in her death throes, Ranuen has been cursed to live his life at the miniscule height of approximately two inches tall, only able to return to his original height for a single hour every day. He currently serves as the bodyguard of Nararia Crimzone.

Powers and Abilities
Swordsmanship: Ranuen is a swordmaster of immense proficiency. He was able to pressure Sephiroth in a swordfight, and slaughtered dozens of trained shinobi during the Assault on Konoha.

Pyrokinesis: Ranuen is capable of using his swordsmanship to create flames, with which to attack his opponents with, or augment his sword swings.

Plot
Ranuen was a relatively obscure character for the most part, with no initial major interactions, save for one brief meeting with Dyre in which the vampire attempted to cure his condition in a rare showing of generosity. The attempt failed, and Ranuen almost immediately fell back out of the light, until he encountered Nararia and her troupe.

After taking the group to see the sorcerer Komaki, Ranuen was invited to join Nararia's team, set on the destruction of the world. Eager to prove himself despite his diminuitive height, Ranuen agreed, and was taken to New Island. During the stay on the island, Ranuen was forced to defend Nararia from an attack by Sephiroth. After trading blows with the swordsman, Sephiroth fled the island, and Nararia sped her plans up signficantly, taking Konoha and Lavaridge Town in a single day, with Ranuen playing a major role in both attacks.

After taking Lavaridge, a tentative pause occurred in Nararia's conquest, during which Ranuen spoke with Amagi, his fellow comrade. Despite her growing feelings for Ranuen, Ranuen seems to be oblivious, focused entirely on his usefulness to his newfound master. He participated in the attack on Central City, where he managed to substantially weaken much of the defending forces, and provided a substantial distraction so that Kataki Doragon could accomplish his goal and eliminate the key members of the Central defense. He briefly faced off against Kyou Nenshou but was taken by surprise by the elemental's fire abilities and briefly overwhelmed, before Nararia forced Kyou to flee.
