The one who controls my fate:
~White Rook ~
I art thou:
I was named: Rinko Sakuraji
However I prefer: Just Rinko would do fine, were she sufficiently friendly with anyone.
I have traveled on the path of faith for: . . . 16 years.
I am: â
Can't you tell? I'm : Heterosexual
I-I can't t-tell you that!: N/A as of now
I am in: 11th Grade (2-A)
My weapon of choice: Tonfa-- it should be noted that she doesn't have any formal training in their use, so mostly her battle strategy takes advantage of the flexibility and core strength a lifetime of gymnastics and dance classes has given her, and she tries to figure out the implements as best she can. She's got the spinning part down, but the hitting part seems to be a matter of luck. Either she'll land a really good hit... or a really bad one, so it makes more sense to fall back on her Persona. Nevertheless, when she does succeed, she's a very close-range combatant, able to get under the guard of longer-reach attacks by taking advantage of her small size and personal agility. She is small, however, and consequently not very strong, meaning that too many hits will put her down pretty fast compared to people with more endurance.
Basic Attack Type: Strike
This is who I am:
Other: Rinko is perhaps 5â3â in height, making her modest in this respect but not completely out of place for a Japanese female. Her build is primarily slender, though she is in quite good shape. Her strange coloration, silver-white hair and golden eyes, occasionally earns her a weird stare or two, but considering the sheer variety of hair dyes and colored contact lenses and aesthetic sensibilities to be found in Tokyo, most arenât all that concerned by her odd looks. She seems often to have a vaguely dreamy look about her, as though her thoughts were elsewhere.
This is the true me
You can find me to be:
Rinko is a little strange, to be completely honest. Sheâs very much a daydreamer, and can come off as a bit irresponsible or silly to people who donât know her well. She professes to believe in things like monsters and ghosts, and to have conversed with them on previous occasions. The fact that she often seems to be staring into the middle distance and speaks in a lyrical, melodic kind of voice doesnât really do much to help matters.
Somehow despite this, she seems to be in possession of rather a lot of information, both useful andâĻ not-so-relevant, and she doesnât hesitate to share it if asked. She wears a mysterious smile that promises more to her than most would think, and though her mannerisms may be odd, she is incredibly kind, and an excellent listener, inclined to take the time out of her day to help anyone with a problem, though her solutions may not always be the most conventional. There are few people that know this, for though she has her own kind of unique charm, she is rather quiet and shy for the most part, fearing to approach others. Her oddness was the cause of much bullying when she was in elementary and middle school, causing her to transfer to Nadeshiko Academy for her last two years of high school.
Sheâs an excellent student, and more observant than sheâs usually given credit for, though sheâll never volunteer an answer in class. When sheâs called on, though, sheâs rarely wrong, even if sheâs just been staring out the window the whole time. New to the area, she doesnât yet have any friends.
Rinkoâs mother died in childbirth, and so she grew up in a single-parent household. Her father is very caring, if a little overprotective, and never sought to curb his daughterâs imagination. His family have been the keepers of a well-known shrine in Tokyo for several decades, and so he doesnât find her stories of speaking to spirits to be that strange or unusual at all, and encouraged her to spend time at the shrine and train to become a shrine maiden. She wasnât really interested, but she does still help out on the busier days, like whenever the shrine hosts a traditional Shinto wedding or something of that nature.
Her uncle, a professor at Tokyo University, is also very close to the family. Between the two men, Rinko was somehow raised into the person that she is today, and though their little family is small, she does not want for parental affection. In fact, given the somewhat-overbearing nature of the both of them, she thought it better to move into the school dorms, at least for the year, to try and experience what it must be like living on her own. Thus far, sheâs found it quite lonely, as there doesnât seem to be any inclination here to do anything but ignore the âghost girlâ in the back of the classroom.
Where I hang out: Rinko works as the sole member of the Library Committee, which mostly entails helping the school librarian re-shelve books and checking them out for people. She's the secretary of the Student Council, mostly responsible for keeping everyone organized and writing minutes for the meetings, as well as compiling reports for the President and Vice-President when necessary. She's been a gymnast for as long as she can remember, but the school doesn't have any kind of gymnastics club, so she can't exactly practice anywhere except the gym during times when other clubs aren't occupying it or outside.
My fears:
It may not seem like it from the plainness with which she bares her oddity to the world, but Rinko has a deep fear of rejection that often stops her from initiating interaction with others. She also dislikes the dark, though unless itâs pitch-black, she can handle it all right. She has to sleep with a light on, actually, if just a small one.
What I hide from others:
Though she seems like the kind of person thatâs perfectly content as she is, Rinko is unspeakably lonely. Sheâs never had a friend before, and that makes social interaction a bit awkward to say the least. She also has a bit of a romantic soul, and tends to pair the people she sees on a daily basis, and do tiny things to play matchmaker if possible. Her insight into the personalities of others actually helps with this.
Thou art I
My arcana is: The Fool
My persona's name: Benzaiten
Skills: Zio, Dia, Mazio
Strengths: Lightning
Weaknesses: Fire
Traits: Benzaiten is primarily a magic-oriented persona, with equal focus on attacking (via lightning spells and later light) and healing. Though agile, she is not the most durable, and will take a beating quicker than Personas with more endurance.
