"I will punish the bad children, since that is my job as Pierrot."

- Rina Abelard

Rina Abelard, also known as Rina the Ripper and codenamed Fifth Pierrot, was an assassin for Père Noël and the adopted daughter of Julia Abelard. Brainwashed by her adoptive mother, Rina roamed the Rolled city streets by night on assassination missions for the organization. She was one of Gretel's reincarnations.

Early Life
Born in the Lucifenian Republic in EC 595, Rina was left without parents and taken into a Rolled orphanage. When she was young, she was found and adopted by the millionaire Julia Abelard. Trained as an assassin for Père Noël, she was taught that the world was filled with mistakes and that she needed to "punish the bad children" for her mother, First Santa Claus. In EC 609, Rina was recruited into the organization as the new "Fifth Pierrot" and was sent on numerous nighttime assassination missions for the organization, succeeding in killing each of her targets.

Père Noël
On October 6 of EC 609, Rina infiltrated the home of Ton Corpa in Rolled and stabbed the idol's manager in the back. Immediately afterward, she abducted the famed idol Len Kyun and fled with the boy to Elphegort. During the journey to Calgaround, they rested at an inn in Toragay before taking a carriage north to the town. After arriving at Fourth Shadow's mansion, Rina handed over Len to her mother's apprentice so she could be imprisoned there and then returned home.

Over the course of November, Rina was tasked with the murder of five prostitutes and succeeded in killing them. She later sent a signed letter to the Saint Fauro Newspaper admitting to the murders; one of her killings involved a brutal stabbing at 2 A.M. in the city streets. At some point, she acquired the Glass of Conchita but was unintrested in how to use its power.

In winter of EC 610, Seventh Magician approached Rina with a gloomy demeanor and tried to convince her to escape Père Noël with her. The assassin tattled Magician's betrayal to her mother, and she disappeared by the next day. Rina then enjoyed Julia's gratitude as she petted her head, feeling a strange familiarity from it.

On another one of his mission, Rina waited for her prey in the dark alley, when she suddenly heard a gunshot and felt herself bleeding. Seeing he was shot by Sixth Sniper, she collapsed and began to die. On her last breath, Fifth Pierrot had a vision of her true mother and father's smiling faces and heard a menacing laugh from Seventh Magician, mocking how she should have run away with her. Around this time, her soul was absorbed into the Glass of Conchita by the Demon of Gluttony.

Legacy
Sometime after, Rina and Julia's connection to Père Noël was established and the names of her killers was documented in Evillious history, although the exact events after her death were lost. Due to the brutal killings she committed, the girl earned the moniker "Rina the Ripper" after death. While discussing the Freesis Fairy Tale, Prince of Evil, Judge Gallerian Marlon questioned if the "Elluka" and "Gast" recorded to have killed Rina were the same as the mage's in Yukina Freesis' fairy tale.

Over a decade later, Gammon Octo and Ma created a screenplay and it was subsequently reviewed by the Master of the Court; deeming Rina's relation to Julia as proof she was a member of Père Noël, the investigation into the "case" was quickly concluded. While organizing the "motion", Gammon noted that Rina seemed to lack any memory of his past lives and wasn't born with a reincarnation of Hänsel like in previous occurrences. The Gardener also found her death as simply a result of bad luck.

Personality and Traits
Rina was a loyal but twisted individual, manipulated by her mother. She was brainwashed by Julia, taught with the express intent of being a tool for murder. Through her indoctrination, he came to believe that the world was filled with "mistakes" and that it was his duty as Fifth Pierrot to rectify them, specifically by killing them. As a result, she guiltlessly murdered "bad children" during the night, considering them fat pigs. When acting as Pierrot, she often donned a clown outfit befitting her role during the night, although he also sometimes wore more casual attire.

He held a steadfast loyalty to his foster mother, fulfilling his missions to satisfy her and refusing to betray her when Seventh Magician asked him to escape with her. As a reincarnation of Hänsel, his loyalty was due to her resemblance to Hänsel's mother, Meta Salmhofer. Unlike his past incarnations, Lemy maintained no memories of his past lives, although was seemingly feeling the similarities between Julia and his past mother's affection. Despite his ruthless behavior, Lemy himself became horrified by his mortal injuries and was terrified by the thought of dying.

Skills and Abilities
Trained by his mother, Lemy was a skilled and deadly assassin, taught to murder individuals at a young age and able to succeed without being discovered and captured by Lucifenia's authorities. Utilizing a silver knife, the Pierrot was skilled enough with wielding it to murder individuals for his assassination jobs. He was also a capable athlete, able to scale buildings and leap between them to maneuver around cities. However, he lacked any insight on using the vessels of sin and failed to utilize the power of the Glass of Conchita while owning it.

Character Connections
Julia Abelard: Rina's adoptive mother. Rina was fanatically loyal to First Santa Claus and followed her every order, as well as brooking no threat to her from outside sources such as Seventh Magician. She took joy in her small shows of affection, like patting her on the head for a job well done, and found her appearance comforting as well as reminiscent of someone.

Seventh Magician: A fellow member of Père Noël. Rina found her to be gentle although ominous in appearance, but after she asked her to leave Père Noël she saw her only as a threat to "Ms. Santa". When she stood over her as she lay dying, she was shocked by her presence and perceived her as laughing wickedly at her death.

Sixth Sniper: A fellow member of Père Noël. Rina did not suspect that Sixth Sniper was also working for Seventh Magician, and so did not expect it when she shot him.

Gretel: Lemy's first incarnation. Having maintained some memories of his former life, Lemy got his loyalty to his mother from Hänsel's relationship with Meta Salmhofer; he saw in First Santa Claus remnants of Meta, and so wished to please her.

Arte: One of Rina's previous incarnations. Rina's appearance and soul were the same as Arte's, and with them she acquired the servant's loyalty to anyone resembling Meta.

Female Servant: Rina's later incarnation. Rina's absorption by the Demon of Gluttony led directly to the Female Servant's existence; as with previous incarnations, Rina passed her fanatic loyalty on to her as she served the Master of the Graveyard in Evil's Theater.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * Rina's name is derived from Hebrew meaning "song" or "joy".
 * Her surname, Abelard, is derived from German meaning "resolute" or "steadfast" and is the surname of a famous French philosopher; Lucifenia, Rina's native country, is inspired by France.
 * Rina's name is partially inspired by the name of his representative Vocaloid, Rin, using "Rin" at its beginning.
 * Rina's codename, Fifth Pierrot is derived from the Pierrot, a stock character in French pantomime who is usually a naive or foolish character that becomes a victim of the other people's pranks.
 * Her title as "Rina the Ripper" is likely based off the infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper, who also murdered his victims at night and is often depicted as wielding a knife.

Curiosities

 * Rina's role in the organization follows the twisted "Christmas" theme that surrounds Père Noël, being in charge of punishing the "bad" children stated by I. the Santa.
 * In Deadly Sins of Evil: Evil Food Eater Conchita, the Demon of Gluttony reflects on her previous owners, humorously considering "The fifth" owner to be the "Pierrot".
 * While she is mentioned to be wearing white facepaint in Fifth Pierrot, the song PV never portrays him with any kind of makeup.
 * Her murders taking place in Rolled likely references the road-roller, a vehicle often associated with the Kagamine twins, one of whom is Rina's representative Vocaloid.
 * It's unknown if Rina saw his own parents or those of hir previous incarnation, Gretel.
 * In the Fifth Pierrot PV, Rina is labeled specifically as the female "yellow one", implying there is a male member of the organization with a yellow motif.
