Description

Edit: Changed Description, Personality, and Bio because they were WAY too f-ing long D:

Name: Rinoa Lestrange
Age: 16
Nationality: French
General whom they would like to work under: General Guinevere
Type of Innocence (parasite or equipment): Equipment, Lv 1
Anti-Akuma Weapon's type/name: Metal Hoop/Dark Ring
Description:
Rinoa's Innocence takes on the appearance of a metallic, 5-feet tall hula-hoop. However, other than slicing through a lot of stuff, it holds no other powers. 'Dark Ring,' as the Scientists have named it, will start to reject Rinoa if it is activated for too long.
Personality:
Rinoa is nothing like her younger self, having become quite wild and mischievous. She often acts before she thinks, thus is taken to be highly simple, impulsive, and childish. Battle-crazed, her cheery demeanor persists even when she is fighting. If anything, Rinoa becomes even happier in battle-- something about the blood and the charred flesh and the screaming triggers something awful, twisted, and not quite sane in the girl.

As immature and violent as she has become, however, Rinoa has not forgotten a single thing of her past. She simply chooses to put it aside in order escape the intense emotions she still cannot quite handle. Ultimately, she is reluctant to throw that part of herself away and will, once in a while, relapse into this deeper, more solemn part of herself. This is the horrified, lost little Rinoa full of self-loathing, who still doubts God. And this is the Rinoa who she is most ashamed for others to see.
Background: Born to a widowed mother in snowy Hokkaido, Japan, Rin Kaminogi was a kind child, despite the ridicule the two received. Luckily, they fled to France before long, where Friedrich Lestrange took interest in the mother, soon turning Rin into the Bourgeoisie Rinoa Lestrange. And as Rinoa, the girl enjoyed her life to the fullest. Five years later, on an exotic family trip to Tibet, a high-priest proclaimed her to be a reincarnation of Chenrezig, the Bhuddhisattva of compassion. Selflessly giving up her life and her family, Rinoa took to learning the ways of Buddhism. It was at the age of fourteen when she was graced by a General of the Order, presenting the young 'Chenrezig' with her innocence hidden within a Buddhist staff and with a warning about the Devil. The girl rejected these notions of Christianity however, and continued forwards.

On the day they were to cut her raven locks (during the holy ceremony that would have marked her official ascent to the position of Chenrezig), news came of a tragedy. Hurrying back to the temple that had become her home, she was only met with the grotesque smell of death and charred flesh. Enter the Devil-- his Excellency, the Millennium Earl and such a lovely batch of akuma. And perhaps, urged on by his own twisted humor, the Earl summoned forth three towering crosses before the girl-- one for mother, one for father, and one for the little brother she had never even gotten the chance to meet. Perhaps he shall make an akuma out of this little Buddhist Exorcist-to-be. But before he got to the juicy part-- the best part-- several of his akuma were gone. Somewhere along that gruesome encounter, little, compassionate Rinoa had finally snapped, and for the first time in her life, felt a rage that ate at her furiously, tempting her to move, to hurt, to kill. And prompted by the growing guilt she felt snipping at her behind, she complied. Before he knew it, the girl was seeking an audience with the Devil himself, precious little toys all broken by that wretched black ring that had broken out of its Buddhist shackles. In the end, Rinoa was far too weak to take on the Earl, and by the time the Exorcists got there, there was naught but thirty-four flowers and thirty-four graves left behind. One for each person who had died.

Triggered by intense pangs of guilt and anger, Rinoa's mentality flipped over completely, changing her into an impulsive, violent child. Condemning Buddhism, her only purpose became hunting akuma, becoming stronger, and seeking revenge on the Earl. Years passed, and hatred soon turned into blood-lust. Eventually, the girl was confronted by members of the Order along the borders of Bangladesh and Nepal, and taken to the Order on promises of meeting the Earl.
Extra:
-Rinoa is fluent in English, French, and Sanskrit, literate in the last. She also knows broken Japanese and a few words in Mongolian.
-The girl eats a LOT.
-Hiding the freckle on her forehead and refusing to cut her hair are subtle signs of her rebellion against her Buddhist self.

..Holy cow that came out longer than I expected (sorry and thanks to anyone who actually read through all of it <3). Exactly like how I had originally planned to just cell-shade Rinoa in her 3rd outfit. And failed. u__u But yah. That picture of her came out too serious pfft >> She's usually more like the second picture. Or like this --> >D

But in case you went TL;DRLUL, this is Rinoa. My ex-Buddhist Exorcist with an impressively non-existent synch rate for the amazing *The-New-Order. LULULULULUL *shot* I decided to put Yun on hold for now cos ~filigreewings and I are conflicted between whether to join *Blood-Debt or *TheDevilsPlayground ; __ ;

Whilst my head was eating itself in trying to decide, I started stalking *The-New-Order like WHOA hahaha. They're a really active group of amazing artists with amazing OCs-- and I've noticed that a lot of them like to arrrpeeeeeeee~~ This combined with my current obsession with rereading LenaLavi moments in the manga and discovering some amazing DGM fanfics got me really wanting to rp some DGM, pls (because I suck, now, as I have confirmed from writing her profile. And need to get better right away). </rant>

BAHAHA. But yah. I actually did RESEARCH for this character. DX a'sd;kjlkdsjf *suffers from being productive* Buddhist name Chenrezig is the Tibetan form of Buddhisattva Avalokiteśvara is Guanyin in Chinese form(from which I got this idea). Wikipedia tells me so. Ahahaha >> Now let's hope I get in *crosses fingers*

For: :iconthe-new-order:
Rinoa is mine~
