{{Japanese|Rin Tezuka|手塚琳|Tezuka Rin}} is a highly talented artist in class 3-4 of [[Yamaku Academy]]. She has a close friendship with [[Emi Ibarazaki]]. 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.

* Rin is from Osaka.

* 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. Others feel she may have some degree of Asperger syndrome. Aura (who wrote Rin's path), said that there is no definitive answer that he will give on this issue.

* A note within the source code ("[[A Wider Field of Vision/Transcript|A Wider Field of Vision]]", the beginning of [[Act 2 - Disconnect]]) reveals some insight on how Rin's dialogue was written:~~{{Quote|~~I've been playing around with different styles for her to somehow communicate her state of mind through dialogue style. Currently (and this seems to be the final solution), there are two distinct "modes". Whenever she's in free-form stream-of-consciousness blabbering mode, she uses awkward grammar badly and has extreme trouble with idioms, sayings and figurative speech. And she talks in short sentences. Many of them in sequence. otoh when she pulls herself together and becomes overtly lucid, she starts talking without contractions and uses way more words per sentence than necessary to communicate whatever might currently be swirling inside of her mind. these are not hard and fast rules, more like general guidelines thus legibility and smooth flow of text always overrides them. Edit as you see fit really.}}
