{{Japanese|Rin Tezuka||Tezuka Rin}} is a highly talented artist in class 3-4 of [[Yamaku]]. Lacking arms due to a birth defect ([[RAITA]]'s original sketch labelled her as a "Thalidomide Baby"), Rin uses her feet, and occasionally her mouth, for all daily tasks. This makes her ill-suited to wear the skirt and blouse of most female students at Yamaku, so she is permitted to wear the boy's uniform instead.

~~[[File:~~Rin at the Atelier.png~~|thumb|150x200px|right~~|Rin's only casual clothing so far]]

Rin is a slim girl of average height, standing taller than both [[Shizune Hakamichi]] and [[Emi Ibarazaki]]. She has close-cropped auburn hair, dark green eyes and is usually seen wearing a school uniform. Unlike most girls, she wears the boys' uniform with her sleeves tied up in knots and a pair of black sandals. During [[Rin's route|her time in Sae's Gallery]], she's still seen wearing her usual school shirt underneath a pair of blue overalls.

== Personality ==

Rin has a deadpan and confusing personality. She often speaks in simile riddles and can be hard to understand due to the fact she often speaks in a childish manner, despite this she can be serious when she needs to be.

When [[Hisao Nakai]] [[Rin's route|befriends her]] Rin is very open with him. She acknowledges Hisao as her friend and quickly develops romantic feelings for him. When these feelings develop Rin is unable to express them through her speech, so she uses her art as an emotional conduit for Hisao. Throughout this process she eventually becomes much more distanced from everyone in her life including [[Emi Ibarazaki]], one of her closest friends at [[Yamaku Academy]].

[[File:Rin burst to tears.png|thumb|200px|left|Rin ~~cries~~]]Due to Rin's inability to properly communicate her emotions, she is prone to bouts of depression. For Rin, art is the way she expresses her feelings and emotions, when she sees others simply comment on the demonstration of skill and talent rather than the emotions expressed through the work, it makes her feel even more isolated.

For most of Rin's life her emotions were simply an imitation of those around her. Much of the emotion she expresses towards Hisao is genuine.

== Etymology ==

* The name '''Rin''' means "jewel"/"beautiful jade" (琳).

* Rin's surname '''Tezuka''' means "hand" (手) ('''te''') and "mound" (塚) ('''tsuka'''/'''zuka''').

** '''Tezuka''' is a reference to the Japanese animator and manga artist [[wikipedia:Ozamu Tezuka|Ozamu Tezuka]].

== Trivia ==

*Rin is the only ~~pursuable~~ girl with noticeable tears on her sprite near the end of her route (aside from [[Hanako Ikezawa]]).

*Rin is the only persuadable girl with noticeable tears on her sprite near the end of her route (aside from [[Hanako Ikezawa]]).

* The second unlockable main menu picture shows Rin in the pose of the "[[wikipedia:Venus_de_Milo|Venus de Milo]]".

* Some assume Rin suffers from some degree of [[wikipedia:Alexithymia|alexithymia]] -- a personality construct characterized by the sub-clinical inability to identify and describe emotions in the self. This is evident in her inability to identify her own emotions and the emotions of others.
