~History~
Rin witnessed her parents and brothers being murdered by thieves when she was younger,forever plaguing her with nightmares of when they were killed and a deep fear. She had also been so traumatized that she became a mute.She never spoke to the villagers of the village she was raised in, even when the villagers hit or scolded her. Consequently, the villagers generally got frustrated with her strangeness and acted even more harshly towards her

~Personality~
Rin is at first mute, but has ben seen as a caring, happy child. After a while, she is very talkative and upbeat, always smiling or laughing. She is very respectful and obedient, using the honorific "sama" meaning Lord or Master. Rin loves to make up songs and sings them. She trusts other children around her age but was mistrustful of most adults

~Outfits~
Rin's main outfit was that of a kosode which were common in Feudal Japan. Her initial outfit is an ordinary, dirty, tarred red colored kosode that came just below her knees. and she ware a yellow/orange checker patterned kosode that extended to her ankles. In every instance, Rin wore an ordinary green sash which tied at her back. when she went to live with Kaede, she was seen wearing kimonos; the first (and only), kimono she is seen in was a indigo and light purple kimono with yellow butterflies on it with a pink obi sash tied up in the back. She is later seen receiving a new kimono that is light pink with dark pink lines, yellow dots and lantern-like patterns on it. Rin was one of the few non-minor characters, and one of only two female characters, to spend her time perpetually barefoot throughout the series. Despite being only a human child, she remained in her bare feet on any terrain or situation.


~Abilities~
Rin lacks any fighting skills and cannot defend herself when being attacked. She had no weapons and was often forced to flee when under attack. The only abilities she had were related to survival. Although minor, these skills were vital in surviving as a wanderer in the feudal era of Japan.

-Looting: Rin was very familiar with how harsh the world can be, and she was used to looting village fields and steal food in order to survive. Jaken would often serve as her lookout whenever she looted food. She had a lot of practice with this skill before and after joining Sesshōmaru's entourage.
-Scavenging: Rin was able to catch fish for herself, as well as forage for food (e.g. mushrooms, berries, etc.) in forests. She knew what kinds of foods were edible in the forests, and she was able to find them relatively easily.

~Relationships~
-Family:
Rin once lived with both of her parents and her brothers. However, they were murdered by thieves who raided the village they inhabited.She must have loved her family very much, and seeing them killed was traumatizing enough to make her never speak again.
