Otherworld Entity: Skinwalker
Transformation Appearance: Rinne's skinwalker appearance differs every time, based on what form she chooses to take on. If it's an animal, she prefers wild cats, such as snow leopards or tigers, or maybe birds, like owls or eagles. For people, she'll take mostly young people, in their teens or twenties - she doesn't like the feel of older bodies. In animal form, her eyes glow in an eerie manner, no matter what colour they are.
Power: A skinwalker is a person with the ability to turn into any animal or person she desires. For animals, it's easier - she can turn into the animal, and change her appearance slightly just by thinking about it. For humans, it's slightly harder - she needs the person in question to look straight into her eyes. Better still if they're afraid when they do so - she feeds off the fear and uses it to her advantage. Rinne can also manipulate humans' memories to make them forget that they ever saw her, in any of her forms. As part of Navajo lore, she can also create small charms, with different outcomes, such as cursing them, placing a protection spell, and so on. She can retain her youth for an infinite amount of time, she can be injured or killed.
Personality: Rinne is a very deceptive person. She's a born actress, able to make most people believe what she wants them to believe. Manipulative and sly, she has absolutely no qualms about lying, and will do so freely, if it pleases her. She is what could be classified as slightly sadistic - she likes to lead people on and let them slowly realise that they were wrong about her all the time. She always looks as though she's got a secret, some inner joke, that nobody else gets, that little knowing twinkle in her eyes.
It's possible to get through to her, though, but it's hard. There are few people she's become attached to, and she's trying hard to seal her heart closed before anyone can get in. Try hard, and maybe you'll find that she's much nicer to you - and hopefully it's not a trick.
Strengths: Rinne is good at deception - a natural liar, one might say. She's good at reading people, and can pick up mannerisms and personalities quickly. She can also tell, at a glance, what people are like. A quick thinker, she reacts quickly to situations around her and can solve most problems thrown at her. She's also really good at manipulation, and can affect others easily. She's also really good at drawing.
Weaknesses: Rinne has one weakness, and that is the sound of childrens' laughter. Not just any laughter - she's weak only to the signature high-pitched, gleeful laughter that only young children can produce. This reminds her too much of her painful childhood, and makes her relive all the memories. Whenever she hears it, she'll freeze up, and usually become more bad-tempered. As a skinwalker, she's fast and usually impossible to catch, but if by some miracle she's wounded, when she regains her human form, she'll have a similar injury on the same spot. Since the skinwalker is part of Navajo lore, Rinne's got a Navajo name, too - Nizhoni Citlali Swiftfoot, the first part of which means 'beautiful star', and the second a name that characterises her speed as a skinwalker. If one pronounces her Navajo name clearly and loudly in her presence, the person will be able to control Rinne and make her do as they wish her to. The only way to kill her is with a bullet dipped in white ash.

Family Life: Rinne is one of seven children living in a foster home run by Ms Abigail Stafford.
History: Rinne spent almost her whole life in an orphanage nearly a hundred miles away from Reaper. The nuns running the orphanage told her, as soon as she was old enough to understand, that she'd been left on the steps by a woman. A card was found in baby Rinne's hand, listing all her personal information, such as her name, date of birth, and so on. The security cameras at the door caught some rather blurred footage of a dark-haired woman placing Rinne at the door of the orphanage. Mysteriously, there were a few hurriedly scrawled words after her name on the paper - Nizhoni Citlali Swiftfoot. Rinne didn't know the significance of that name then, and tucked the piece of paper away in her small box of treasures, keeping the secret name close to her heart. In a fit of rebelliousness and anger towards her biological mother, Rinne took on a shortened version of her name, instead of the 'nice French name your mother gave you', as the nuns put it.
When she was eight, Rinne grew close to another young girl her age in the orphanage, Amber Sanchez. Amber had been orphaned in a car crash that claimed her parents' and brother's lives. Amber took to Rinne quickly, and they became fast friends. Years passed in the blink of an eye, and both girls turned thirteen. Amber, seeing many happy families arrive and take children away to live happy lives, sank into depression. On Christmas Eve of 2009, Amber leapt from the highest tower of the orphanage, plummeting to her death. It was then that Rinne realised - nothing ever really lasts. With the loss of her one and only friend, Rinne retreated into herself, becoming a bitter, angry person who fed off others' fear, though she didn't know it at the time.
Some tried to help Rinne, to befriend her and get her to open up, but the task proved impossible. Eventually, everyone gave up, deciding to leave Rinne to her own devices. However she wanted to live, everyone wanted no part of it.
Years later, a woman in her early thirties came along. Out of all people, she chose Rinne, and adopted her as her own, bringing her to her own home in Reaper. Rinne, for the first time in her life, knew the meaning of family. Abigail Stafford had six other foster children, and Rinne slowly grew to love all of them as though they were her own family. She loves them more than she'll let on.
Unfortunately, her happiness was short-lived. Every night, she had strange dreams of herself transforming into different animals and people. Every time she walked past a mirror, she could swear that the reflection she saw wasn't that of hers, but of her siblings or other people she'd seen around Reaper. It's been going on for nearly half a year now, and she's going crazy with no way to stop it.
