Rin (リン) is the protagonist of Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong-Nou and its sequel, Chu-Teng.
Personality
Rin has no listed entry in neither the Tong-Nou Illustrated Book nor the Chu-Teng Tablet, leaving their personality widely unknown. Much of Rin's backstory and personality is shrouded in mystery, including aspects such as their gender; the game instead uses Rin's name to refer to them.
In both games, Rin is only seen in a chalk-like art style in the prologue. In Eastern Mind, Rin is portrayed as perpetually frowning, only smiling once in the prologue, with an empty hole in their chest. In Chu-Teng, they are smiling instead, with a red Magatama in their chest, presumably representing their soul.
Very few pieces of in-game text are written from Rin's perspective, and mostly happen to be in immediate reaction to in-game events, such as immediate reactions to death. A select few lines exist outside this circumstance, which mostly paint Rin as a fairly light-hearted character; one line in particular in the tunnel to Mon-chien has Rin make an odd remark after witnessing Zen dead in the ice.
