Everyone has mentioned how little Ren speaks, and his overall description places him under a much different culture than the rest of them. What I'm thinking is; is it possible Ren is not native to Vale, and is not completely fluent with the language? It almost makes sense, as every character thus far whose backstory was explained has had some compelling reason to be a Huntress or Huntsman, as well as a few skeletons in their closets (Jaune's forged documents and Blake's White Fang background) I'm thinking the protagonists might pressure him about it in a side-arc until he can't keep up the charade and reveals a secondary language (Assumably by his Japanese VA), which consecutively leads to his backstory. Maybe he became friends with Nora because he wasn't accepted or understood by others, and Nora's constant cheerfulness and inner compassion led her to befriend him and teach him a bit of the linguistics (and learn some of his as a tradeoff).

Just an idea, by NO MEANS the truth... Yet ... >:3
