Rin Chan

"The boasted diva of Lucifenia, Rin Chan, appears."

- Bruno Marlon

Rin Chan was a diva living in Rolled in Lucifenian Republic and childhood friend of Lemy Abelard. Growing up in the local orphanage, Rin was adopted by Ton Corpa and trained to become a professional singer. After having her face changed by Seventh Magician, she became a sensation across Evillious until losing her voice. Caught in a scandal, she feared for her life before being rescued by Lemy.

Early Life
"Rin and I grew up in the same orphanage. We were friends."

- Lemy Abelard

Rin was born in Lucifenia sometime during EC 590 and at some point became an orphan. Growing up, became acquainted with a boy named Lemy and the two became close friends. Among her talents growing up, she learned to read and honed an impressive singing talent, often singing the most beautifully among the other students with the orphanage's piano teacher.

In EC 600 Rin was adopted by the merchant Ton Corpa to work as a servant. On one occasion, the man discovered her great singing talent and he plotted to make her an idol singer. Going along with the idea, Rin was told that her face was too plain to appear onstage and was taken to a fortune teller's store in Rollam to have her face changed; she then observed Ton selecting a portrait of Princess Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche to use as a reference, hearing the merchant say that it was his favorite.

After the fortune teller, Seventh Magician, changed her face with a sword, Rin Chan's black hair was turned blonde and her freckles vanished as she took on Riliane's appearance. Around this time she learned that Seventh Magician used the magic of a demon dwelling in the sword to accomplish her feats. Pleased with her beautiful face, the girl agreed to start her new career.

Debut into Fame
"I heard her singing voice lots. There's no mistaking it. There's absolutely no doubt that's Rin... But her face is super different."

- Lemy

In EC 606, at the completion of the Milanais Theater in Rolled, Rin Chan was brought to preform during a circus show made to celebrate its construction; as the circus rushed to prepare for their performance, the girl was brought out as an opening act and came onstage. Despite the jeers of the impatient audience, she bowed and began singing a solo cappella, soothing her listeners back into silence. When her song finished, the girl received many cheers and so sang a second time as an encore.

From that point on Rin Chan became a sensation as a child prodigy, performing as a diva all over the continent. Although initially happily, gradually Rin suffered under the stress of performance and the abuse of her manager, not allowed to take a rest. Growing unable to sing in front of people, Ton hired a Netsuma girl named Chanso to sing back stage while Rin lip-synched.

In EC 609, Rin Chan was scheduled to sing for a party celebrating Julia Abelard's inauguration ceremony and put in an appearance in the Hall of Mirrors. Coming onstage, she thanked her audience for inviting her to the beautiful palace and announced her song to celebrate the inauguration of the new president. As the orchestra began, Rin Chan began lip-synching as Chanso sung three songs; when she had finished she smiled audience before lip-synching her last song for the night. During this time, she noticed her childhood friend Lemy nearby speaking to a blue haired man.

After departing, Rin Chan left Lucifenia to perform at a concert in Asmodean; following this, she moved to Elphegort to perform. Scheduled for a concert at Aceid in Elphegort, Rin arrived in the Southern District on September 1, greeted by her many fans. On September 10, Rin performed at the Central Theater and lip-synced 39 of her songs; met with thunderous applause in the overcrowded theater, she gave two of her songs an encore. In the wake of the tipster N A leaking that she had lip-synched her songs, Rin Chan returned with Ton to his mansion and later declined an interview with the Shuburke Newspaper over the allegations.

Rescue
"But... That's not all, Mr. Ton's gonna kill me too. I heard him talking with someone, saying he "should find someone new"."

- Rin

On October 6, Rin Chan learned that Ton had killed Chanso in the basement to remove evidence of her lip-synching, later overhearing that he was planning to kill and replace her as well. Locked in her room, Rin Chan cried over her fate before hearing someone knock on her door. The girl wondered if it was Ton before hearing Lemy; exclaiming to hear her friend and wondering what he was doing, she heard the boy call to her to open the door and she explained it was locked.

Once Lemy asked who had the key, Rin Chan explained that Ton always carried it on him. As Lemy opened up the door regardless, Rin looked at him in wonder; when Lemy remarked on how long they'd been separated, she reminded him that he'd seen her before at the Lucifenian Palace and explained how she'd seen him there. When the other child tried to apologize for not listening to her songs, she brushed it off as it wasn't her singing anyway. The former diva then begged her friend to take her away or she would be killed, explaining how Chanso had already been killed.

Lemy then grabbed Rin's hand and made for an escape, only for the two to run into Ton on the way out. Crying out, Rin watched her manager prepare to kill her and Lemy, only for Lemy to overpower and slaughter the man with a smile on his face. Pale, Rin stammered out how he'd just killed a person and continued that, despite Ton being a bad person, it hadn't been necessary to do that. As her friend insisted he hadn't meant to, Rin exclaimed he was lying and cited the smile on his face as she trembled. When Lemy reached for her, she slapped his hand away and called him a murderer.

Forced out of the house instead, Rin was made to accompany Lemy to a carriage passing by the estate and rode with him on the way to Toragay. After a few hours, Rin finally regained her composure and apologized to him for lashing out when he'd been trying to help her. As Lemy brushed it off as not being necessary, she asked him what they'd do now and heard that he planned to go to his aunt's in Calgaround, although not before stopping to rest.

Once they arrived at an inn in Aceid, Lemy gave Rin Chan the sleeves of his outfit to use as a hood and, thus disguised, rented a room with Lemy to rest in for the night. She then spent time telling Lemy everything that had happened to her; explaining how Seventh Magician had changed her face to look like Riliane's, she debated the possibility that Lemy was descended from Lucifenian royal blood, only for her friend to dismiss the idea.

To Calgaround
"Fifth Pierrot has already returned home. However, I have the girl he brought here underground."

- Mayrana Blossom

That evening, Rin changed into plain clothes and, with Lemy, rode to one of the checkpoints on the way to Calgaround. Walking the rest of the way to the city, she noticed how all the buildings were a vibrant red and commented on the eeriness of the town, listening as Lemy explained it was a way for its residents to show reverence for their "lady." The two finally entered and Rin watched as Lemy was greeted by his aunt Mayrana and his mother, Julia Abelard. After Lemy begged his mother to help Rin, she was allowed into Mayrana's custody and, after the boy left with his mother, tied with rope and locked in the basement.

On October 21, Elluka Clockworker and Gumillia came and freed the girl from within the basement and Rin thanked the pink-haired mage. When Gumillia noted they'd take her back to Rolled, Rin grew scared and shook her head. Asking if she could be taken anywhere else, Rin admitted that her lip-syncing would be discovered if she returned. While being taken upstairs, Elluka was attacked by Sixth Venom and Rin quickly cowered in the corner. After Venom retreated, Rin and Gumillia rushed to the coachman outside with Elluka's body and rushed her to Aceid.

Whistleblower
"Impossible! You can't just change a person's face so easily!" "Really now?—  I actually found that out in Elphegort. It was a woman who Yuzette... No, "Seventh Magician" changed her face. Upon her request, I won't give out her name, but she promised to testify in court proper if necessary."

- Bruno Marlon and Ein Anchor

Shortly after returning to Aceid, Rin was taken in by Gatt Coulomb and disappeared from the public eye again, living with Phoebe Aymieux's younger sister. At some point she was interviewed by Willus Zorach and Ein Anchor about how Seventh Magician was able to change her face and explained the woman's ability with the Venom Sword. When questioned about Fifth Pierrot's true identity she evaded the questions, claiming she wouldn't be able to recognize his face under all the make-up.

Over time as the police cracked down on Père Noël Rin continued to avoid giving out details to the police. After the fall of Père Noël, Rin took up singing again; several months later, she sang at an open concert in Milanais Square to a large audience.

Personality
"At first, I was happy. I got a more beautiful face than before and became more and more famous—  But, it gradually became painful."

- Rin

Rin Chan was a good-natured and ambitious young girl; despite her poor background and abuse at the hands of her manager, she showed a kind disposition when faced with strangers and maintained her idealism that killing bad or cruel people wasn't necessary. This disposition also extended to Rin's stage presence, being unshaken by an abusive audience and greeting her listeners politely before and after her songs. Agreeing to have her face changed to that of Riliane's, Rin Chan enjoyed her beautiful new appearance and her work as a diva. Although facing stress when forced to perform constantly by Ton, she nonetheless returned to working at her own pace after being retrieved from Pere Noel.

Despite this disposition, due to her young age Rin Chan was often made to associate with shady dealings such as Seventh Magician changing her face and Ton having Chanso lip-synch for her. Rin Chan also had a close friendship with Lemy Abelard since her youth and, despite being frightened by his maniacal murder of her manager, appreciated all that he had done for her and had a close confidential relationship with the boy. Due in part to this, although willing to aid the police in bringing criminals to justice, she was unwilling to give away her friend as easily.

Skills and Abilities
"Rin's voice today is... certainly good and the voice is very similar. But... it isn't her voice."

- Lemy

Rin Chan was a young girl talented in singing, with a voice beautiful enough to soothe an angry crowd. despite her youth and inexperience, she was particularly skilled in opera and was able to project her voice over a wide audience. Although not originally possessing a stage-worthy presence, after her face was changed with the Venom Sword Rin Chan also had the standing and beauty to be a very popular diva. Despite having the endurance to perform a large number of songs in a single night, if pressured too much and made to go without rest she would be unable to sing at all, although also being very skilled in lip-synching. As well as this, Rin Chan was able to read from a young age.
