Physical Description: Do you want something?
Rin has an appearance that matches her personality. She is seen as a young girl, barely out of middle school. Yet, her eyes scream of a hell that has long past, leaving scars in her mind and on her face, an unwritten tale that no one wants to hear for fear of their own sanity. Her clothing usually consists of the usual shinigami outfit, excepting for the fact she likes to put a pink ribbon around her collar and have a pink sash on her hips. It is for no particular reason other than she prefers to have more colors on her body. One could say shew as trying to look more like a doll.
Something that immediately strikes a person about her is her eyes. They stare into one's soul. They not only stare, but they piece into one's soul. those yellow eyes are wide. They always seem to be taking the world around them coldly, without any emotion. Her flat, equally emotionless face doesn't help the creepy, penetrating gaze of her eyes. They seem to be almost inhuman, how doll-like and empty they were and yet they were sharp enough to make a person feel as if they were under the microscope whenever her gaze fell on someone. She'll stare at a person like that forever if she has to, and no one wants to be under her gaze. It's one of the main reasons why people avoid her.
One could describe her looks as cute but emotionless. A perfect little shinigami doll. She looks not yet old enough to enter womanhood, but not young enough to be considered a child. She is stuck in the awkwardness of the pre-teen years, still aging but oh so slowly. Her body is just beginning to show the woman she may become. Her figure shows just hints of curvature, her chest still flat, showing barely a trace of breasts that shall come. The girl still has limbs and legs that are normal, although at some she complains of things that could be described as growing pains. No one really pays attention to her pain, however, if she would ever speak of it to someone else.
One curious thing that is not about her appearance itself is the general feel she has around her. Since she is very quiet and reclusive by nature, she can sit in a corner and tread a book and all but disappear to the rest of the world. He presence is so light usually her squadmates forget about her existence. The only exception are those who cook, because they make food for a certain number of people only for one of those meals to go uneaten. After leaving the food out for the night, the food would magically disappear. Sometimes that's the only sign of her existence to those who are in her squad.
When she is left to her own devices, she changes from a normally cold and calculating young girl to a child, smiling softly and whispering things to her dolls that no one else could hear... and no one else could probably understand. She seems to have a strong desire to be young and playful, as if desperately clinging to such an idea. This could probably be the reason why she wears such childish additions to her usual clothing. Of course, the sash also keeps her shinigami clothing on her. Because she is naturally very thin and also very small, she needs the sash to keep her clothing from falling off of her body or being unappealingly loose. She also keeps her zanpakuto hidden underneath her sash.
Personality:
Rin is a very lonely person. She is rarely, if ever, seen. In fact, she will refuse to step out of her chambers for months unless someone tells her she must. When one meets her, she is initially very cold. Extremely so. In fact, so much so that she can easily seem violent and almost coldly murderous to strangers. She would first not recognize the person's very existence, completely ignore the stranger as if he wasn't there. Then, when she can no longer ignore the person, she begins to be come hostile and come off as extremely violent.
Not only will she bring a few dolls to threaten the person with, but she will also talk about experimenting on the person. However, she won't speak to the person directly. Instead, she'll only mention being curious about placing experiments on live subjects, then sweep her eyes around the room and settling on the person, smiling lightly, and going back to her research as if planning to subject the poor victim to a run of deadly experiments.
Research research research. That is all she seems to do in her spare time. She sews dolls as lovingly as a mother, and she seems to do research. She probably studies and knows more than any other person her age, and yet perhaps because of her deep studies she ignores people if anyone ever enters her room. Her unsettlingly hostile behavior could creep out even those of higher rank than she.
However, it is all just an act. It is all just a play on her avoidant nature. She hates it when she meets people. So he puts on her act, to frighten them away from her. So she can be alone. So the can be all alone... where it's safe.
Of course, when one meets one that refuses to leave, refuses to be frightened... then she becomes more and more frightened. She will refuse to open her door to the person. She will be 'out' when the person arrives. She will be doing some sort of errand around the person. She's even been known to simply refuse a person altogether and push them away, running away from that person and disappearing.
She does go out of her room though. She can't stay inside forever, although she would love to. She goes outside only at night, however. She refuses to go out during the day, as there are too many people. At night, she can be found wandering the grounds of various squads, sneaking around alleyways no one travels through and looting whatever leftover food she can find to eat in the meantime. This is when she is at her most exposed, and she knows it. She'll hide from people in her state, a silent shadow that always keeps two dolls with her at all times.
Now, why dolls? Well, other than her strange habit of not only being completely alone but also to be very cold to people, but she also has an obsession with dolls. Not merely in love with, she has an obsession with dolls to the point where if she is even friendly with a person or she likes a person, she shall make dolls of them and have conversations with the dolls as if she was conversing with the actual person. She will leave dolls of that person on that person's doorstep, or a multitude of other creepy things such as sleeping with and snuggling the doll.
To her, dolls are her only friends. She refuses to have any other friends. Alone with them, she is open. She whispers all her secrets, he plots, her crushes, her lives, with the little dolls that litter her room. She is so in love with dolls that she makes them, hundreds of them, lining her shelves and walls and desk and bed and floor. Dolls are everywhere in her room, and they seem to all be staring at any visitor that walks in.
When she is outside of her safe zone, when she is truly afraid, she is sensitive and in reality, she is a very timid person who is loyal to anyone she trusts. Because friendship with real people is so rare for her, she is extremely loyal to anyone that is her friend. She is willing to kill for anyone that that she cares for. In fact, if anyone bothers to have a conversation with him, one could see that past all her creepy ambitiousness, her frightening nature, her desire to be alone...
She's just a lonely little girl.
Zanpakutou:
Sealed Description
Named Tatsujin no Guujin (Master of Puppetry), her blade is quite strange for an unsealed form. It takes the form of a small dagger, although unlike most zanpakuto, her small dagger does not mean that she has a small reiatsu bank. In fact, the blade itself seems perfectly normal if one did not pay any attention to its sheathe or hilt. It's hilt seems to be made of a patchwork of different satins and silks. Off the edges seems to fall some loose threads of some sort that glimmer in the light strangely. The sheathe is made from the same clothy patchwork. The blade itself is usually hidden underneath her sash, for it is small enough to be relatively unnoticed.
Release Phrase
UNOBTAINED
Put on a show, Tatsujin no Guujin.
Shikai Description
UNOBTAINED
He shikai is odd. Where did her blade go? Why, they become strings on her fingers. Every finger on her hands now has a ring, in which from the ring comes down a single almost invisible string.
Shikai Powers/Attacks
UNOBTAINED
Through manipulation of her fingers and reiatsu, she can move the strings around as she pleases. Mind you, this takes a lot of dexterity and control. As an initially offensive technique, she uses these strings to slash at her opponent. However, this move has little to no defense and her shikai has little to no defense itself.
However, she can also with her shikai manipulate her strings to lift a certain object and manipulate that as well. The more complicated the movement, the more strings required. For example, if she was to manipulate dolls with those strings ad she wanted them to do something more than limply float around, she would require a full hand per doll, with a maximum of two dolls. She usually manipulate dolls when in her shikai ability, as they can at least provide a small amount of defense.
Bankai Name/release phrase
UNOBTAINED
Final Act...
Bankai Description and Bankai Powers/Attacks
UNOBTAINED
This is a strange bankai indeed. Now, where did those strings go?
...
They're everywhere now. She can make them out of reiatsu as she pleases. Rin can now use many dolls. Many, many dolls. So many dolls of so many shapes, an army of dolls to attack an enemy form all sides. If she doesn't have dolls, she can use anything within a half-mile of her as manipulation fodder. As a sacrifice, she can no longer harm a person directly with her strings, nor can she manipulate the person itself. However, she can limit other swords and other weapons, stopping movement with her strings.
Although it may at first appear as a weak bankai, it is actually frighteningly strong. Her dolls move at speeds that are hard to dodge and are extremely accurate in their attacks. Their movements are almost perfectly coordinated and sometimes her dolls may even have a nasty surprise about them. Using her bankai is a mixture of her ability to place reiatsu in a specific object and her dexterity with her fingers, for ultimately she still uses hand movements, no matter how slight, to manipulate the chaos that is around her.
Special Accessories:
Rin usually carries around a book to read and one or two dolls with her for company.
Skills:
Dexterity
Rin has a surprising amount of dexterity. Not only in she nimble on her feet, but she her hands seem to be almost inhumanly perfect at whatever they do. This level of skill with her hands had come from many, many years of making dolls and fixing dolls. She probably wouldn't have such nimble fingers any other way. She rarely if ever mentions such a skill, for it comes so naturally to her that she does not consider it a skill in any shape or form.
Knowledge
Rin is an excessive studier. She probably knows far more than anyone could possibly believe. She also has a tendency to sneak into places where she shouldn't go out of curiosity. She posesses an intelligence that seems to surpass her appearance age and she seems to have an incredible amount of things she knows, from many kidou she has studied and knows the details of but cannot use, to the bankais and shikais of other captains and vice captains, to a multitude of other small facts and things. since she spends a good portion of her time studying, the amount of things she knows increases every day.
Abilities:
Reiatsu
Her reiatsu amount isn't very high, but it is strangely more corporeal than reiatsu should be. She can manipulate it to give herself something that is basically copying heirro off of arrancar once she had researched of it. She can also use it to give her dolls an extra punch to their attacks. It's nothing that is extremely noticeable, neither is such an ability very unusual. She just has unusually good control of reiatsu that seems very... condensed.

Biography/History:
Rin was born to be a star. With her parents as celebrities, she lived in the limelight. She was everyone's favorite doll. Everyone loved to dress her up. She had the most beautiful smile and would tilt her head cutely to every camera that took a snap of her. As even a young babe she grew accustomed to the camera flashes and constant noise about her as her mother acted in famous movies and her father sang his sweet love songs. She as a toddler was dressed up in only the best clothing. She was on the cover of children's magazines, showing off the latest styles with her cute face and perfect hair and eyes.
Her eyes were not yellow back then. No, they were an adorable baby blue that did not pierce into the soul. They were clear and full of the innocence of childhood. She did not scream and shout for things when she wanted them. She was the perfect little girl... the perfect little doll for her parents to dress up in whatever adorable outfit they found cute at the time. She had the lovely singing talent of his father and she sang like a small bird to anyone that wanted to hear. As a child, she was adored by so many. She was the little doll everyone wanted to play with and dress up. She loved her life, for it was perfect and nothing could go wrong.
Of course, she couldn't stay a child forever.
Soon her body showed signs of nearing the teenage years. However, she still thought she was the perfect doll. Her voice began to grow lower, to create dissonance with the music she once harmonized with. Her parents split apart after a loud and violent argument. Her father was sent to jail for a rape which he did not do. Her mother became a whore and dated multiple men. She was now the tarnished doll who received negative publicity. No one wanted her in a pretty dress anymore. Now she was pressured to be sexy, to be hot for the men. She couldn't bear it, desiring only to go back to her innocent days as a child.
However, she knew it could never happen. She locked herself in her room at the age of 10, the young age in which she should be cute and happy still. Not so. She was alone in her room, and there she researched dolls. The researched drugs. With her very own credit card, she bought fabrics and stuffing and had it delivered to her room. She made countless dolls of all shapes and sizes and styles. She then perfected her doll-making technique, doing nothing but making dolls over the next year, trying to convince herself that somehow these repetitive actions of constant doll-making would somehow make things right again.
It wouldn't. She knew this. This life she lived was never going to be right again. She bought herself a gun.
When she died, her death hit headlines. People mourned over the loss of a star. Her mother and father both made speeches to the press about their loss. Ultimately, however, she was forgotten within a month of her death.
Which left her spirit alone and afraid. She hid from both the monsters and the strange people in odd black clothing. The little spirit cowered in the face of some that tracked her down, but a certain person in black clothing came to the rescue. He cut down the hollow as easily as if he was breathing. However, she ran away before he could introduce himself. She followed this stranger curiously. She watched him stamp his sheathe onto another child, watching the child sink into blackness and disappear.
This man terrified and intrigued her. Rin would follow him constantly now, watching him do his job. However, she would also be plagued by hunger, not just by monsters. Eventually, this stranger snuck up behind her and offered her food. More hungry than she was frightened, she took the offered piece of bread and devoured it. This stranger spoke of a place called Soul Society. He described it as a wonderful place where she could do whatever she pleased without fear.
So she went to Soul Society.
However, when she got there did not like what she saw. She saw people, too many people.. far too many people for ehr liking. In fact,s he hated it. She hated having to cooperate with people. Sometimes people recognized her and she ran away for fear of them. She just wanted to curl up alone. However, her hunger wouldn't allow her to. Her constant hunger forced her to go out and work for her food, singing or begging... until finally, someone asked her what she could do.
She said she could make dolls.
She made a doll for a little girl and received food for it. Young Rin did this for a while, until she came across what was known as a shinigami academy. After careful researching and studies, she decided to apply and went in without a hitch. Except for the fact she only took nightly lessons. During the day she would sleep and she would refuse to leave her dorms, so a few teachers taught her late at night. When she did graduate, it took twice as long as most people because of her inability to deal with the teachers who taught her and her high levels of hostility towards working with other students.
However, whens he did graduate, she graduated with full marks and now she is a fully-fledged shinigami ready for a new world with her dolls.
