Appearance
Rin has a short black hair and she always looked serious. She has a pair of black eyes. She also has a beautiful face and figure according to Urushi.

Personality
Rin always looked serious. She has lot of similarities with Ayumu such as their competetive athlete mindset and their straightforward and direct playstyle. But she sometimes blush when Ayumu praises her and she misinterpreted it. She is really gluttonous and is energetic whenever it comes to food. She can also finish a large serving of okonomiyaki alone! She used to have a really competetive mindset where the stronger gains more respect. She looks up to Ayumu and Takeru when she was in the kendo club back in middle school. BUT, now she looks up to the supposedly srongest shogi player,stronger than Urushi?! And the person IS Maki..

Overview
She belonged to the kendo club when she was in middle school. She never landed a hit to Ayumu and decided to confess her feelings to him if she does someday. But she would easily beat Ayumu in shogi as Ayumu had just started playing it. Many fans didn't like her at first, but began to like her as the mangaka changed her attitude from a really competetive person to a serious, caring and dense type. She still has her straighforward aura though, she had just changed a little because she now has a goal, which is to help Ayumu win against senpai. The fans ended up feeling sorry for her as she has became a obstacle to Ayumu and Urushi's love story.
