Anaiyu Nagasuma for Rinkah
Voice Actress: Stephanie Lemelin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0mho_v-5Ro)
Rinkah is a Hoshidan warrior from the country's Flame Tribe, and is the daughter of the Flame Tribe's chieftain.
Rinkah is a fighter born into the Flame Tribe, which exists independent of the kingdom of Hoshido. Following the orders of her father, she provides assistance to the royal family of Hoshido in their struggle against the invasion of Nohr.
As a result of being born as the direct descendant of the Fire Tribe's chieftain, Rinkah has thus been trained since infancy to become a warrior worthy of inheriting the title of chieftain in the future. Stalwart in her dedication to her training, Rinkah constantly strives towards bettering her combat skills, never once permitting herself to be complacent. This fact is reflected through a good number of the supports that she shares with many characters, like Silas and Hinata, where, despite her inclination to isolate herself from others, she readily accepts any challenge that is put forth to her to test her mettle.
The strictness of Rinkah's training has moulded her into a paragon of courage and toughness that is unrivalled by almost anyone in the army. Due to this, she thus adopts a no-nonsense policy in her regard of others, and will not hesitate to lash out at anyone for their cowardice. Her supports with Hayato reveal this, where she, in a fit of impatient rage, scolds him for attempting to throw away his vegetables because he considers them too bitter for his liking.
In accordance with her clan’s law of solitude, Rinkah chooses to isolate herself from the rest of her allies, preferring to be in her own company in that of being in others. This fact is proven through a number of her supports like Takumi, Kaden and Keaton, where she expresses annoyance whenever anyone seeks to interact with her. Her C-support with Ryoma, for one, sees her responding to his call for her attention by demanding to know why her Hoshidan allies talk excessively and cannot seem to leave her in peace and quiet.
As a result of her obstinate maintenance of an appearance of unwavering stoicism, Rinkah is rather adamant about not doing things that make her appear weak. Her supports with Kaze reveal this, where she initially rudely refuses his offer of candy for fear that her desire for hunger may be interpreted as a sign of weakness.
"Hrm. Normally I dislike people talking about me behind my back, but... I must admit, it's nice to have my strength praised after working so hard in training."
"That's not it... The truth of the matter is, that's just a touchy subject for me. I can be very temperamental. Sometimes, it can be challenging for me to make a calm judgment. For whatever reason, I've never been able to change that aspect of my personality. It's ridiculous for me to question others' opinions."
"There is no need to thank me. I should be the one thanking you—for saving my life. And for igniting this fire in my heart."
