First Impressions

[heritrix]

☄ First Impressions ♚ VISUAL: Rin is short and petite, but athletic in build. As can be seen in the heading picture, she has blue eyes and wavy, dark brown hair that reaches down to about her mid-back, lengthwise. So long as it's not a situation that requires she keep her absolute cool, Rin tends to wear her feelings on her sleeve, which results in a variety of facial expressions. She is very expressive. Seriously. I have 300 icons slots and it's still not enough. ♚ FASHION: Key accessories she'll wear no matter the outfit are her thigh-high stockings and two hair ribbons. She favors red and black colors in her clothing, as seen in her standard attire; a long-sleeved red shirt bearing a cross, and a (dangerously short) black miniskirt. ♚ DEMEANOR: Poised, and head held high like she owns the place. The latter is innate, but the former is more engrained in her; Rin has a lot of natural confidence and it shows in how she holds herself, but she likes to be seen as elegant. Highly energetic, she's frequently moving, and tends to gesticulate when she speaks. ♚ SOUND: Rin is voiced by Kana Ueda in Japanese, which is the voice I play her in mind with. It's distinctly feminine, but not particularly soft for a Japanese girl. She speaks very precisely and often at length, coming across as both bookish and authoritative in tone. While Rin tends to talk casually, her diction still has a sense of formality in the way of self-imposed dignity, and some aloofness. If she's with someone familiar or her mood sinks, she sometimes slips out of this and will speak naturally, taking on a gentler tone. When flustered or feeling awkward, her voice becomes more whiny and high-pitched. ♚ SCENT: Floral scents, mostly. Rin is very... particular about how she smells. She'll wear perfume, or even go so far as to sew fragrance packets into her clothing to mask how she normally smells. Because of the peculiar medicine she's had to take since childhood, Rin's natural scent is something that's best described as antiquey, like lacquered wood and old cloth. It's sharp, but more herbal than chemical, and still has a smoothness. It's not unpleasant, but Rin is quite ashamed and sensitive about it, hence why she tries to mask the scent with perfumed things. People who stand close to her or possess a good nose may still be able to detect it, however. ♚ MENTAL INFORMATION: If anyone has some sort of ability that hasn't been nerfed completely, Rin is strongly resistant to psychic influence/hypnotism. On a biological level, actually, if the VN is to be believed. ♚ MAGICAL INFORMATION: I mean, magic is Rin's jam, so if she can't sense anything magical I assume neither can you. So I'm just going to use this space to say Rin fucking loves magic and if you want an easy way to get to know her, talk to her about magic. It's a secret in her world so she might try to play it cool at first, but curiosity will eventually get the better of her. ☄ OOC ♚ BACKTAGGING: Please do! I love backtagging and am usually happy to keep it up. If I'm swamped or the thread has gone on for more than two weeks, I might end up letting it go for time's sake, but usually I try to wrap it up or get us both to 10 comments each, at least. ♚ FOURTHWALLING: No thanks! ♚ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: If you go for a hug she's going to be very confused and react weirdly; Rin's not used to that level of affection. Go for it anyways, the worst she'll do is tsun at you. As for other displays of physical affection, like casual touching or pats on the back/shoulder, those are A-OK! She's likely to engage them herself down the road. ♚ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: If we talked about it first, definitely; otherwise maybe? Just let me know if you're going to punch her in the face or something or if it's a fight that'll turn serious, and we can coordinate. Rin is the type would fight back, and, uh. She's a little tougher than she looks. ♚ RELATIONSHIPS: She's already in a serious relationship per the end of her canon, so it'll be a tough sell, but I'm a "go with what feels natural" kind of gal. if it happens through RP, it happens.
