A character in Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. She is a first year student at Nijigasaki Academy and previously attended its attached middle school. She has yellow eyes and medium pink hair with blunt bangs, blunt ends and an ahoge.
She's extremely shy and has trouble expressing her emotions, which is why she usually often covers her face with a sketchbook (dubbed the "Rina-chan Board") with a drawing of her face with the appropriate facial expression in pink marker.
Rather than her uniform blazer, she wears a blue hoodie with sleeves past fingers with the shade of blue depending on the season (cyan/light blue for summer and dark blue for winter) and always carries a marker on her pocket.
Rina is really good with technology and "creating things". She even created an electronic version of the Rina-chan Board called "Auto Emotion Convert Rina-chan Board" which consists of a head-mounted display with an outwards-facing screen that she wears on-stage (since dancing requires both her hands to be free). She's also often seen with other gadgets such as a quadcopter or just working on a tablet or laptop. As a school idol, she hopes that people will cheer for her so she can show everyone her real face with a true smile.
She has a pet robot cat named Aran.
