Rin Redlock

"“You... you were born into this world to feel joy, anger and sadness. And.. I know it’s all pointless to you. To feel strong emotions... because it didn’t get you anywhere. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Here, take all of my candles... and light every last one of them. Because... even if you feel like it’s hopeless... It’s not to me. Your wishes will definitely come true..!!!”"

- — Rin Redlock to Andrew Graves

Rin Redlock is a main character in Lock Catalyst. She is the young apprentice as well as granddaughter of the well known blacksmith Howard Redlock. She is the inheritor of the Blood Thread, an ability that the Redlock bloodline posseses.

Appearance
Rin is a young brown-skinned girl of short stature with large brown eyes framed by thick, slightly drooping eyelashes. She has thin, straight dark brown hair, with a red hair clip attached to her right fringe. Occasionally, she wears other hairstyles such as ponytails or braids.

Rin is shown to wear a red 3/4-sleeved shirt underneath a yellow dress with a red string wrapped around her waist reaching down to her knees. She wears short black leggings and white sandals with straps.

Personality
Rin is a confident, lively and strong willed young girl who is generally calm and unafraid to speak her mind. She is surprisingly straightforward and abrasive, particularly disliking people with bad manners and calls them out when she feels their actions are wrong, indicating that she has a strong moral compass.

Kindhearted and empathetic, Rin is decidedly stubborn and is willing to go out of her way to help people. She is a very social and open minded person, however she has a sharp tongue and does not hold back from Andrew, whom she often berates and reprimands him various times. Because of their polar opposite personalities, they are constant odds.

She is known to be a direct and hardworking sort of person, thus she is well respected in the community. Rin is also very careless when it comes to her own self, such as when she jumped out of a window and landed effortlessly. According to Andrew Graves, her best quality is her bravery.

Despite this, Rin herself possesses flaws and insecurities. She has been noted by others to be stubborn and pushy, and is occasionally gloomy. She is said to have slight temper issues, being prone to make decisions without regarding others' feelings if she feels justified enough. Underneath her kind and empathetic exterior, she is a person with deep rage and sadness looming inside of her, a notion that manifested after the murder of her father and older brother and her grandfather’s apparent neglect towards her.

Background

After her beloved father and brother’s deaths, Rin can now finally focus on sharpening her skills to help the hopeless and the aching. But loneliness can’t be ignored- where days felt like years in Rin’s little room, the girl longed for the warmth of her deceased family, even if they were far away, she imagined herself leaving her body and laughing with them one more time. The little girl that was once spoiled and loved by her father is still there, deep inside. Of course, there was no time for dreaming such delusions, time is of the essence. Now let’s do a good job today. Maybe the old Teddy Bear needs new adjustments.''
