Female

16

Bright green

Japanese/American, her mother is Japanese while her father is American.

Pale white

Skinny, gangly, rectangular.. has been called a toothpick

She has sharp shark-like teeth (she filed them to look cooler and more intimidating) as well as three piercings in each ear, piercings on the bridge of her nose, and two chin piercings. Her hands are covered with multicoloured bandaids from biting her fingers and nails.

Below average weight for her age

Above average height for her age

Dyed hot pink, but it was originally a dark brown

Her standard outfit is a white singlet, hot pink camo pants, a chunky black grommet belt with a chain attached, and white and pink runners. She likes early 2000s punk/street fashion.

Her school uniform is a white short sleeved blouse with a navy ribbon, tucked into a navy, plaid, pleated, knee-length skirt. The uniform has short white socks and black school shoes. Rin doesn't tuck her shirt in, has lost the ribbon, and wears white ankle socks with worn out black school shoes.

Spiky, short, similar to a buzzcut but with more hair. She saw a random girl in the street with a hot pink buzzcut and, on impulse, got the same haircut.

None

Her talents are lock picking, sneaking around without being spotted, and spying work such as eaves dropping, etc. She is also extremely agile and fast.

She has a little pocket knife, so she's gotten pretty decent at carving things with it. Only small things though. She likes to carve her name in various places around the city, to leave her mark and a reminder that she was there.

Lesbian

Loyal to a fault, cheeky, rebellious, determined, boisterous,

She wears her heart on her sleeve and finds it difficult to conceal her emotions or deal with deceptive people. Subsequently, when she lies, it is completely obvious.

One of her hobbies is playing video games and arcade machines like pinball and claw games. she is pretty bad at them, but she won't give up until she has a prize, or has spent all her money. She loves collecting the toys and has a small but treasured collection which she cherishes.

Skate boarding is also another of her hobbies. When she got a beaten up, second-hand skateboard for her birthday, she was ecstatic and practised day and night until she could skate without falling off the skateboard.

Secretly a romantic at heart, she often dramatically laments about not having a girlfriend, her touch starved childhood leaving her to form minor crushes on any girl who is nice to her. This means she loves to write (really bad) poetry about the girls she likes. E.g, she'll write "an Ode to the Checkout Lady at the 7-11" and then secretly keep it in her desk drawer.

Being a mixed race, lesbian, woman herself, she is very open and accepting when it comes to race, sexuality, gender, etc, and won't hesitate to punch someone in the face for spouting toxic ideologies.

She also immediately dislikes anyone in the rival gang or anyone who threatens her delinquent gang.

Stubborn and prideful, loyal to the point where she refuses to see flaws of the person she follows/idolises. It takes a lot of convincing for her to change her mind, even if she is in the wrong.

She is not very book smart or academic. Her poor grades and low self esteem mean she often describes herself as dumb or too stupid to help anyone.

Motivated by her strong feelings of admiration and idolisation of Camilla Pavone. She sees her as a mother figure and would do almost anything she asks.

She also wants to rise up in the ranks of her gang. She is sick of her family struggling and being poor so she wants to gain power and influence in order to help them.

When she talks, she is very boisterous and animated, but often she can come off a little brash or headstrong.

She can't lie convincingly. When she tries to she sweats profusely, cannot look the person in the eye, and laughs nervously.

She is a big chatter and can't stand awkward silences so she rambles excessively to fill the gap in the conversation.

She fidgets a lot, plays with her pocket knife and carves things with it.

When she is nervous, anxious, upset, etc, she has a tendency to bite her fingers and nails. That's why she has so many band aids on her fingers.

Hot pink (like her hair).

Shintoism. Her family follows the religion so she does too.

Student. However, she skips school a lot. She gets really frustrated with studying and understanding the material so she often blows it off in order to work in her gang.

Pocket knife. It was the first thing that wasnt food or money that she ever stole, so she treasures it.

Sharks. She watched a subtitled Jaws when she was young and ever since developed a healthy respect and fear for the creatures. She was inspired by their sharp teeth, when deciding to file her canines to a point.

She is a student, but she skips school most of the time so she can works as a loyal minion for a gang. Her job is to sneak around, spy on the enemy by eaves dropping on important conversations, and trespass into private property in order to steal information or money. However, she isn't that great at it and usually has to rely on her luck and her ability to talk her way out of situations to get herself out of trouble.

Her parents are both loving but since they came from an poor background, they had to work constantly leaving Rin alone at home, or bringing her to work. This meant that she grew up a little touch starved, but still ultimately loved her parents.

Currently going to high school. She skips school a lot and doesn't study until the night before. Subsequently, she struggles to pass a lot of her subjects, and exam time is a source of stress for her.
