Rin Chan

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

- Bruno Marlon

Rin Chan was a diva living in Rolled in the Lucifenian Republic and a 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 singing voice. Soon 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 the Lucifenian Republic sometime during the EC 590s. Orphaned at a young age, the child grew up in the local orphanage in Rolled, becoming close friends with another orphan, Lemy. During their time at the orphanage, Rin learned to read picture books and sing; during lessons, her singing while the piano teacher played wowed everyone there. On December 26, EC 600, Senator Julia Abelard visited, putting her large bag with lots of Nativity Festival gifts before them. Telling them to pick their favorite, the children gathered around and each chose one. The next day, Lemy was adopted by Julia and left Rin and the orphanage.

Soon after, she was adopted by the merchant Ton Corpa and worked as a servant in his local mansion. Later on, the man discovered her great singing talent and plotted to make her a professional singer for his profit. Going along with the idea Rin listened to Ton say her face was too plain to appear onstage. Afterward, the businessman took her to a fortune teller's store in Rollam, relating the story that "Seventh Magician" could change anyone's face with a sword inhabited by a demon.

Once Seventh Magician agreed and changed Rin's face with the sword, she noticed her blonde-hair, clear-skinned face greatly resemble Lemy's visage. Surprised, the girl learned that the face Ton selected was taken from a portrait of Princess Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche, the businessman claiming it had become his favorite. Afterward, Ton set himself up as the girl's manager for her upcoming 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

A few days after the completion of Milanais Theater in EC 606, the excited Rin was brought there to perform for her new career's debut. After one of Ton's other child performers was suddenly mauled by a lion backstage, the singer was rushed to stand-in for the circus performance's opening act. Once the manager quickly explained the sudden change in plans, Rin took the stage and bowed, ignoring the booing from the audience. As she began singing the cappella, the crowd quieted down until she finished. Met with applause and demands for an encore, Rin sang another song, continuing her performance until the audience was satisfied.

Afterward, Rin Chan became a sensation as a child prodigy, performing all over the continent. Overjoyed by her new beautiful face and evergrowing fame, the diva continued working endlessly as her manager ordered. Gradually suffering under the stress of constantly performing, the child eventually became unable to sing. Afterward, Ton brought in a Netsuma girl named Chansioux to become her replacement before they discovered Seventh Magician closed shop therefore couldn't changed the Netsuma's discriminated appearance. Their manager then had Rin continue publicly performing while secretly lip-sying to Chansioux.

After Rin was scheduled to sing at President Julia Abelard's innaguration party at the Lucifenian Palace on August 18, the girl attended the event 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-syncing as Chansioux sang three songs; when she had finished she smiled at the audience before lip-syncing 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-synced 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 Chansioux in the basement to remove evidence of her lip-syncing, 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 Chansioux 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 proposed 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 stated that 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 Gatt Coulomb and Rin quickly cowered in the corner. After the swordsman 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 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 couldn't 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 and Traits
"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 Père Noël.

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 Chansioux sing instead. 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. Partly because of this, she was unwilling to give away her friend as easily, although willing to aid the police in bringing criminals to justice.

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-syncing. As well as this, Rin Chan was able to read from a young age.
