Rin Tezuka is one of the potential love interests from Katawa Shoujo.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Severe birth defects and the subsequent surgeries mean Rin only has two stumps in place of proper arms. She consequently has to rely on her feet and her mouth to carry out tasks that her non-existant hands can not, but while she requires the occasional bit of help from her friend Emi Ibarazaki when it comes to things like getting dressed, the surprising nimbleness of her toes and lips means Rin is quite capable of taking care of herself in most situations. She particularly excells and lives for the art of painting, and the effort behind her abstract pictures eventually earn Rin her own studio.
Aside from her physical disability, Rin also suffers from a second defect in the form of her social incompetence. With many fan theories suggesting she is somewhere on the spectrum, Rin's extreme degree of bluntness (such as when she asks other girls about their periods) makes it difficult for her to find any friends. Her obssession with painting hence carries tones of escapism in it, and may grow to unhealthy dimensions if it remains her sole source of happiness.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Rin may or may not have debuted all the way back in 8chanmania III.
Her first recorded appearance was in 8chanmania XII, where she immediately ended up in a tough matchup against Blaziken. Despite her lack of arms and her opponent's fighting style, Rin pulled off an upset victory via pinfall. After defeating The Angry Video Game Nerd in the second round, Rin faced the Lord himself in the Quarterfinals. Rin's magical, armless run would end at the hands of the Almighty, and despite his infinite kindness and omnipotence, Jesus somehow forgot to give Rin new arms on his way to winning the whole freaking mania.
Rin's participation in 8chanmania XXVII was notably more short-lived, as she got more than an armful from Tomoko Kuroki in the preliminaries. Whether Tomoko suceeded in becoming popular with the boys by having "hot, steamy lesbian sex" with Rin was not followed up in detail.
Her stint in the porn-themed 8chanmania XXX was about as long as her arms; with Misha quickly throwing her out of the tournament (and very nearly involving her in a sexually frustrated session of struggle snuggle, had it not been for the intervention of the referee Rance).
Rin made another short-lived appearance in 8chanmania XXXII, where she was kicked out by the strongest fairy during the preliminaries.
The Sitewide Mania[edit | edit source]
Rin's last known stint was during the site-wide 8chanmania XXXIV. She once more was kicked out during the preliminaries; this time by Chen (♂) and his Hokuto no Honk.
