Background
Renee Montoya was born to Hernando and Louisa Montoya, immigrants rom the Dominican Republic. She has an older brother, Benny. Their life was impacted by the street gangs rampant in Gotham and she grew up deciding she wanted to protecther family. Renee was top of her class in the Police Academy and ended up working with the Major Crimes Unit once her two years as a bear cop were up. She was so dedicated to her work that she attracted attention both from major criminals and skilled vigilantes, receiving both training and a lot of violence over the course of her time with the GCPD.

After recently crushing a trafficking ring against orders Renee was ultimately promoted to Sr. Detective, but not without a lot of backlash. She had to be quiet about a lot of things she'd rather have taken public and it has driven her to drink. With Major Crimes, however, Renee has managed a nearly impossible arrest rate. She continues her work regardless of what else comes along.

Personality

 * Big Picture - Renee is the sort who sometimes can't see the trees for the forest. While details sometimes elude her she is exceptionally good atp icking out the big picture of a given situation. She is always trying to find meaning in things and extremely good at understanding her surroudnings as ar esult.


 * Obsessive - This is not a person who tends to back down. She will continue digging into a mystery long past the time when it seems likely she can succeed, and regardless of what danger it might cause her. She is not one to be deterred and failure to answer the question can sometimes cause her distress- especially if someone's life was on the line. She lives to learn the unknown.


 * Depression - Hands bound by the rules of the GCPD and crimes going unanswered everywhere Renee is haunted by some of the actions she's had to take as part of her job. She is frequently depressed as a result and tends to be softspoken and serious.


 * Honest - Ultimately, Renee isn't a great liar. She can keep a secret but she can't contrive a truth very easily. She wants questions answered and it's against her nature to deceive without an extreme urgency involved.


 * Down to earth - Renee is rarely overly fanciful save inher pursuit of knowledge. The world is a dark place and she has to understnad that to be able to excel.
