Rin by herself isn't bad looking, but she isn't an otherworldly beauty either. She lacks animalistic features, doesn't have a demons horns or tail or even fur to show. On the contrary, Rin is a normal looking young woman who's on the smaller side of height. She has short black hair that is always perfectly cut straight and resting just above her shoulders and lower neck. What this woman lacks in immediate impact, she makes up for in the finer details, starting from her jade like skin that is completely absent of any blemishes or scars up to her piercing amber eyes. There is a vibe around this woman that makes her seem otherworldly - be it for the better or the worst. That is to say, she by no means appears dangerous, though staring in her eyes for too long may give one the feeling that she is looking right back at their soul. With an always present, ever so slight smile and the way she decides to dress, a unique and mysterious feeling is created that makes it hard to approach her for anyone who doesn't know her ways. For clothes she commonly wears a short dress-like singlet that would leave much of her back exposed if it weren't for the loose kimono vest covering it and her arms. She also decided now that she inherited the family's shop it was proper to wear the hat her father used to wear that has the family logo up on it in front. Her left eye is usually covered up by her hair and cloth, though that is purely a fashion decision as she can see perfectly fine with it. | |||||||||

To those who know her, Rin is a mischievous girl with a mind of her own. Sometimes she plays pranks on others, but most of the time she's teasing them about one thing or another. Just this often gives others the wrong impression of her as that also makes her appear non-serious and unprofessional. Though the ones who've seen her abilities will tell otherwise, what she does is high quality work on every comission she gets regardless of whom she's responding to. Caution is recommended tho as in the end she still likes to twist others words and actions to get some sort of twisted pleasure out of it. She also doesn't really engage in any connections beyond that of customer and merchant. There is a certain level of Rin that is unable to trust others sincerely. Coupled with inability to feel with others her inside is more fit to belong to a killer then an accessory selling merchant. What the young mage really enjoys is watching others struggle and getting them into that position in the first place. If one were to receive an honest answer to her true nature, then that would be that she loves watching a person's nature and emotions. She says she loves the evolution of life, but at the same time doesn't value a single persons life. That said, Rin is not some sort of crazed murderer or criminal, most of her time is spent reading up on and researching magic, her curious mind also taking on the idea to learn about curses, though there is absolutely no intention of using them on others just to test them. Whatever she's gonna achieve in this field is supposed to be her little secret. Despite her chaotic disposition, mostly due the fact that from her parents' side she knows quite a bit about the TRS who worked there and her disagreement over the methods of AP, she does in fact support the response syndicate, though unlike her parents she hasn't voiced any interest in officially joining or rejecting them, despite the facts both sides had contact before. The woman values her freedom and secrets quite a lot afterall. Her demeanor towards those who she's met for the first time as a judging one, she tends to speak less and may give off the impression of shyness. | |||||||||

Taught by her father for years before he died, Rin has a good understanding of both wards and Charms that are usually crafted and sold in her family's shop. She knows a row of small supportive charms, but the most well known charms of the family are their 'stamina raising charms'. Their wards are often sold as paper talismans that inscribe themselves onto an object or person. Her current capabilities of creating wards and charms are decent. She's more knowledgable about them then actually creating them. Her main effort goes into 'writing' on her tome, which is thicker then usual tomes and is passed down her family for a few hundred years already, including many miscellaneous spells from different owners. Rin's main focus on using magic is telekinesis. When she knows she will be fighting she carries swords or daggers with her to hurl or cut at targets. If no weapon is available she'll just cause chaos and even hurl people at people. She is able to even give her telekinetic pushes properties of blades, being able to cut by itself. Notable but less relevant are also force fields and illusion, though the last she mostly uses for slight suggestions on other's minds when she knows she can profit of it. As far as Alchemy and potioneering goes, she received a basic education and is able to discern potions and work processes of both, but has never actually practiced either as it is to expensive to be just a hobby of hers. She has practiced harmless voodoo before but wouldn't use it unless she really had to - she's an amateur. Lastly comes in the curses of which she has the know how, but doesn't really know of their effects first hand as experimenting with them is rather dangerous, not to mention a crime. | |||||||||

Growing up in Lorsette Rin had nothing much to worry about. While her family wasn't rich , they never had a worry for money as their family business - a magic utility shop - had established their reputation for decades and was always well visited. The shop had been succeeded by Rin's parents who both worked in it ever since the girl can remember. The magician-to-be was also blessed with an older sister by three years who would prove to be a valuable lesson of how not to grow up. Rin was always the silent child while her sister shone in the limelight. As it was it should have been her sister who would one day take over the family business, but she both showed a terrible aptitude for magic and had no focus for such a delicate business, instead over the years evolving to become a no-good girl that was spending her time more with boys then her own family, which got her in trouble often. Disappointed Rin's parents turned to her both her aptitude and mental abilities were far superior to her sisters and her learning speed was astonishing. If at that point she wanted to or not, a young Rin didn't have much of an option to oppose her parents. Aside her regular school education she also got a private tutor for magic that started teaching her about charms and wards as soon as ten years of age. It might have been a different story if Rin refused to learn magic this way, as her sister was constantly fighting with their parents, but Rin was never forced into anything while she was diligently learning for herself. Her results also showed themselves. Not even needing to mention her excellent school grades, her work on magic items allowed her to work in the shop as early as 16. With that said, it has to be aknowledged that Rin didn't grow up like most kids, she lacked the contact to others a lot and only knew books. This led to a general lack of understanding humans and the ability to properly display her feelings. Other then respects for her elders and ridicule for her sister she didn't really know feelings or emotions. As a fact, Rin grew up to secretly become arrogant isolated in school, seeming unreachable and unapproachable to fellow students due to her superior grades and magic education. Around the age of 16 her sister also had a huge falling out with their parents and left with her at the time boyfriend, never to be seen by Rin again. The girl at that point didn't really care about her sister, just that it was sad to see her go down this path. As soon as she was done with her school education at 18, she used the free time usually to get herself a bit more familiar with the city while working in the shop under her parents. Her favorite past time grew to be watching other species and their interaction with each other, putting herself in their place and analyze them. Though the family of now three seemed to not be meant to stay together as on an unavoidable business travel her parents an companions were attacked by terrors and lost their lifes. Only closing the shop for a few days Rin sorted her thoughts and proceeded to pick up work again aswell as her magic study. Taking the shop over alone caused the amount of customers to decline. On top of that the witch didn't accept the help of her reamining relatives or her families old friends, so as to not run the risk of owing them for it. Her goal was to build up the shop herself and make the name more well known for now, even having thoughts of expanding in the future but for that she'd have to start from the bottom. | |||||||||
