Rin Baio (
Appearance
Rin has black hair with burgundy highlights, styled in a hime-cut, and blood red eyes. She's also usually drawn with sharp teeth.
School Uniform
Rin wears a modified version of the Ohananomitsu Middle School girl's uniform. Her sleeves are frillier, and she wears a red necktie. She also wears white mid-thigh stockings. Rin completes her look by braiding her hair on either side, and securing them with two white hair ribbons.
Personality
Rin takes pleasure in any affection of violences, and gores, which started after watching a scene from a Resident Evil movie as a child. Fearing that she will be judged for this, she mostly keeps this under wraps.
She tends to say "violen-suwa" ("molto violento"[2] in the official translation) when she gets excited/aroused; this is a combination of the word "violence" and "desu-wa".
Abilities
Classically-Trained Musician
Rin is a skilled violinist, and has performed at recitals (with her dearest boyfriend in the audience). Her training has also left her with a strong sense of rhythm, allowing her to avoid the gunshots in the Nirvana Families battle.[3]
History
When she was around 8, she turned on the TV in hopes of seeing a Ghibli film in the Friday Road Show block, however the block was instead showing a Resident Evil film, and despite only seeing a few seconds of it, it got recorded inside her mind, and thus, she became affected of violences and gores, with Resident Evil being her favorite series.
She met Rentarou after accidentally bumping into him on the street, and she started to have feelings toward him after talking with him for a while. When Rentarou gets a small scratch after a pebble hits him, she tries to calm the wound by putting a band-aid, however she gets aroused for a second because she likes seeing the wound.
After that, she and Rentarou go to the arcade to hang out, and she blushes because of "violence games" like Whack-A-Croc. customers punching the machines, or boxing arcade games. She later stumbles upon a Biohazard cabinet, and she starts playing it alongside Rentarou, while she fears Rentarou will judge her because of loving the sight of bodies and blood in the game, he says that there's no problem in her enjoying that as long as she doesn't cause problems to other people or hurts them. After those words, she proposes and Rentarou accepts her. The next day, Rentarou introduces Rin to his other girlfriends, officially making her his 22nd girlfriend.
