FACE CLAIM Asami Yamaz, from Daiakuji – The Xena Buster (Never heard of it, but the picture's right. xD)
PICTURE
APPEARANCE: Rin is an attractive girl, with curves accented by the clothing she wears. Her hair is a bright auburn, cropped short to her neck. She lets it hang loose, and only rarely pulls it back. Her stance is strong, firm, and defiant, and her eyes seem to constantly dare you to disagree with her.
Rin's eyes are her most striking feature. They're emerald green, and very intense. Her emotions can almost be told from her eyes, and though she can conceal her emotions, she usually does not, and her eyes often flash with her fast moodswings.
Rin is a very strong fighter, and in the style of her village, moves quickly, using wit and speed to outmaneuver her opponents. Her many hours of intense training have paid off, and her physical strength is almost equal to that of many more advanced ninja.
CLOTHING: Rin wears plain brown, black, and green clothing, traditional to her village, but hers have a few modifications. Most of these are to enhance her appearance to men. Rin actually isn't very interested in dating, or anything of the like, but she finds that men and males in general cooperate better when she looks better.
She wears normal sandals, and a dark brown jacket that once belonged to her father on cooler days. She has the traditional Grass Village headband, and wears it on her arm.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: Rin's bright green eyes are very distinguishable, as is her auburn hair. Other than that, she looks much like other jonin of her age.

PERSONALITY: Rin is a headstrong girl, with a wicked temper. She loves her village and her family above all things, and would do anything to protect them. She works hard, focusing entirely on becoming stronger and doing her village proud. She is a firm believer of the ends justifying the means, and if she sets her mind on something, nothing will stop her from achieving that goal.
Rin is a very prideful girl, and when her honor or her skills are challenged, she'll fight hard to defend them. Because of the drought in her country, she's become very hardened, and she tries to focus on her goals, ignoring her feelings and the feelings of those around her. Rin is very intelligent, and a good tactical leader, but her patience and empathy are lacking.
Rin has an obsession about protecting her village, and her family, and in this time of drought, that obsession has grown. Rin feels that the great shinobi villages are to blame, as they told her village that they had no resources to spare with the Akatsuki threat.

HISTORY: Rin grew up in the small village of Kusagakure. Her mother and father were competent ninjas and loving parents, and Rin had two brothers. Despite the happiness and contented atmosphere of the Matsuki home, the land of Kusagakure was in disarray. Drought had recently sapped the life and vibrancy of their small country, and without their abounding flora, Kusagakure was floundering in search of supplies.
While they had once traded their abundant food supplies for other necessary items, the Land of Grass had now nothing to bargain with. They tried to turn to the great shinobi villages, but their request was turned away with the knowledge that the great villages were fighting a war with the Akatsuki.
Slowly, the Land of Grass was dying. By the time Rin was a genin, food was scarce and prized, and water too was becoming hard to find. Rin devoted herself to protecting her family and her village, training hard and going out on long missions to retrieve water and supplies for the parched village.
Rin was soon advanced to chunin, then jonin. She worked hard, leading tough missions and giving up everything she had for her family and village. She was very respected, and a prized ninja of her village.
When Rin declared that she must leave them, in search of a better way to gain resources, very few objected, and those were silenced quickly. People were dying because of this drought, and something needed to be done. Why shouldn't it be done by one of the most talented ninja of their village? Rin packed up her supplies and left, vowing to not return until she had something of worth to show her village and family.
She sought help and training from other villages, but often found that what she learned was of little or no value, and of no help to her people. Finally, she decided that it was time to turn to the source of power, there to be taken if you had the guts: the Akatsuki.
She searched for almost a year straight, finally running into Kijo, a female member of the Akatsuki, in Konohagakure. When Rin expressed her wish to join the Akatsuki, and proved to Kijo that she was competent, Kijo considered it before saying that all Akatsuki spots were taken, and Rin wasn't entirely Akatsuki material yet, but that Kijo had another plan, a better one.
Kijo said that if Rin worked as her apprentice and stayed loyal to the Akatsuki, Kijo, and the Akatsuki's goals, in return, Kijo would teach Rin powerful techniques and show her how to bring back supplies that would save her village. Rin agreed, and has worked hard as an Akatsuki apprentice ever since.
