 * For other uses, see Rin (disambiguation)

Rin Miroku was a member of the Miroku Family and the daughter of Kai and Mei. Surviving the great fire that struck Enbizaka, Rin continued to help with her family's dry good business. She later became a victim of the murders perpetrated by Kayo Sudou.

Early Life
Rin was born into the Miroku Family sometime during the EC 820s. Raised by her parents Kai and Mei alongside her elder sister Miku, Rin grew up feeling that she was waiting for someone, although she didn't know who. Eventually, she began helping with the family dry goods business. When a great fire struck Enbizaka in EC 838, Rin managed to survive due to her house's location. She later joined her mother in their outreach towards the victims of the fire.

Return of the Tailor
At some point, Rin became acquainted with her sister's boyfriend, Kiji Yarera. In EC 842, Rin was tasked with watching the store. Seeing a woman approach, she was asked if she was alright. Bluntly replying that her parents weren't home and that her sister was on a date, Rin introduced herself. She then explained that she was housesitting that day, and that she couldn't take any work requests nor sell any kimono. Asked if she was waiting for her family, Rin confirmed the fact.

She then stated that she wasn't just waiting for her family, explaining that she was waiting for someone since she was born. Hearing the woman agree with her sentiment, Rin asked if the woman was waiting for someone herself. Asked why she would think that, the young girl told her she got the feeling from her face. Seeing the woman turn away, Rin apologized for being rude. Told that the people she was waiting for were never coming back, Rin witnessed the woman leave the shop.

Later that year, Rin began watching her mother after she became sick. She later welcomed her father home. Asked how Mei was doing, Rin explained that she was still sleeping and that she had gotten better. Asked where Miku was, Rin guessed she was still at Kiji's house. Hearing her father rant about Kiji being a despicable foreigner and dating Miku despite his disapproval, Rin bluntly replied not to yell at her about it. She then saw her father go to the back of the shop.

Personality and Traits
Rin was a kind but sharp-tongued girl. Maintaining a polite demeanor, Rin introduced herself to strangers and would apologize for any perceived transgressions. However, she was also quite blunt, giving the facts in a straightforward manner while watching her family's shop. She also loved her family deeply, caring for her sick mother. However, she also did not tolerate Kai taking out his anger on her, talking back to him once he started ranting about foreigners. Aside from this, Rin had a feeling she was waiting for someone but didn't know who it was, carrying the feeling with her from birth until her teenage years.

Skills and Abilities
Rin was trustworthy enough to watch over her family's shop alone. She was also decent at business, helping out with her family's livelihood. However, she had limited knowledge of the business' systems, not knowing the pricing of their kimono.
