Rin

Rin is a character in the anime/manga Inuyasha. She is a human girl, and one of Sesshomaru's companions.

Biography
Her name means "companion" in Japanese, which possibly refers to the fact that she's always besides Sesshomaru. After Sesshoumaru fights InuYasha and receives several injuries, it is Rin who bgeins to take care of him. Soon after, Koga's wolf pack introduce her village and massacre everyone, Rin included. When Sesshomaru discovers Rin's body lying on the ground, he opts to use Tenseiga to make resurrect her; ever since that moment, Rin has been constantly by Sesshomaru's side. The relationship between Rin and Jaken, Sesshomaru's right-hand servant, is like that of the big brother-little sister one, bickering and jealousy being present as well.

One of the more intriguing aspects of Rin's character is that she is the only human that Sesshomaru has taken a liking to, and will genuinely come save her if she is in any sort of trouble.

In the last chapter of the manga, Rin has been shown to be living with Kaede in her village, learning how to interact with people once again. In these instances, Sesshomaru has been shown to be visiting her and bringing her gifts.

Appearance
Rin's appearance is that of a typical young peasant girl commonly found during the Warring States period. Despite changing her appearance on few occassions, her overall style never changes; her trademark is her long dark hair with a single, short pigtail on her right.

Rin wears a common kosode that extends just below her knees. Her initial design was that of an ordinary, tarred red color. When she begins to accompany Sesshomaru, she wears a white/orange checkered pattern kosode. As an adult, she wears a similar design, albeit it extends down to above her ankles.

In every instance, Rin wears an ordinary green sash which ties at her back.

InuYasha and Kagura aside, Rin is one of the very few non-minor characters, and one of only two female characters to spend her time perpetually barefoot throughout the series. She retains this habit through any sort of situation, and even through her "adult years" with Kaede.
