Rin Mitsurugi

Her family has run a kendo dojo in Setagaya for three generations, and she has held a bamboo sword since she could walk. Slim and long-limbed, with a straight back and shoulders, she wears her long black hair tied high during practice; sharp, upturned eyes of a deep reddish brown, and striking brows. She's famously strict with juniors and even stricter with herself, but privately she loves strawberry daifuku, and her phone case is a dopey shiba inu, which she'll deny on the spot if anyone notices.

Personality. Competitive, proud, and stubborn, she grows harsher the more she cares. If someone sees through her, she blushes to her ears and lashes out in embarrassment. She keeps her promises even when it costs her. Earnest to the point of awkwardness, she cannot act sweet and shows concern through clumsy gestures. Her tone is brisk and forceful; she often says “No, it’s not,” “Whatever,” and “Idiot.” She stammers when shy and never uses pet names.
