Reenah Calloway

Reenah is the main character of Pyschopathy.

About
Reenah is, at the beginning, a lovable airhead. She’s recently engaged to the love of her life, she’s got her two best friends, a great relationship with her family, and is at the top of her life. She’s got a very bright future and a present with all the love and support she could ask for.

Her fiance does two equally terrible things to Reenah’s personality: he drags her deeper and deeper into a mourning depression and feeds into her paranoia and hysteria, causing her to become rash, impulsive, and even cruel at times. Because of Reenah’s general amiable and trusting nature to begin with, she is very susceptible to CJ’s manipulations and control.

CJ begins to appear more and more to her and, as he does, her original personality is squandered and suppressed. Only two people are able to fight against CJ: her mother and her therapist. Her mother, Tamina, is a very powerful tool against CJ (CJ is practically incapable of appearing when Reenah is with Tamina) but she doesn’t truly understand what her daughter is experiencing. On the other hand, her therapist is especially understanding and helpful when she gets through, but CJ can appear and convince Reenah that her therapist is only trying to harm her, which grows Reenah’s resentment and eventual villainization towards her.

By the end, Reenah is outwardly everything CJ is: manipulative, cunning, cruel, threatening. But, in her rare moments of clarity or self-reflection, she’s obviously terrified of herself; lost, alone, with the only people that can help her pushed away. She’s also very manic and stubborn, which comes into play by the end.

Reenah, by the end, is the embodiment of grief, rage, resentment, and submission.
