Renata

Renata is a vampire and a member of the Volturi Guard; she is gifted with the supernatural talent to divert physical attacks, and is therefore Aro's personal bodyguard in the guard.

Personality
When she is first seen during the confrontation between the Cullens and the Volturi, Bella depicts her face as being rigid with distress, and her personality timid and frail. In contrast to the greater number of the Volturi guard she harbors no bloodlust or desire to fight.

She is seen as Aro's personal shield, standing beside him at all times during battle. During the confrontation Bella's mistakes her hand as being sewn onto Aro's cloak as she stood closely behind him.

She has shown to be exceptionally protective of her master, and is very disturbed whenever he willingly makes himself vulnerable by saying, "Master?" (as shown during the confrontation in Breaking Dawn). On occasion, however, she would protect other vampires of her coven.

History
Renata was born around 1240's in Malta. She was born into a vampire-friendly family that has produced several vampires over the centuries, one of whom included a nomad named Makenna. She was changed into a vampire by her great-uncle, Luca on her 20th birthday.

She initially intended to help her family perpetuate their family line, but her unique talent caught the Volturi's attention and her uncle encouraged her to join to avoid conflict. From then on, she became bounded by Chelsea's power and became Aro's personal bodyguard.

Breaking Dawn
Renata makes her first appearance in Breaking Dawn when the Volturi travels to Forks to punish the Cullen family. She is mostly at Aro's side when he approaches the Cullens and their witnesses, her hand clutched on his shoulder to protect him.

Protective shield
"You see, Renata is a powerful shield against a physical attack. If someone approaches her - or Aro, as she is always close beside him in a hostile situation - they find themselves... diverted. There's a force around her that repels, though it's almost unnoticeable."

- Eleazar on Renata's gift

Renata is a powerful shield against physical attacks; if someone approaches her or Aro, as she is always close beside him in hostile situations, they find themselves diverted. There's a force around her that repels its almost unnoticeable, they found themselves going in a different direction then they planned, with a confused memory as to why they wanted to go there in the first place. Renata is also known to be able to project her shield several meters out from her self. She also protects Marcus and Caius, but Aro is her priority.

Her gift though does not operate physically but mentally, like the majority of vampire gifts.
