Rin Tsuchimi
Encyclopedia : R : RI : RIN : Rin Tsuchimi
Rin Tsuchimi (土見 稟) is the protagonist of the anime and video game Shuffle!, a seventeen-year-old high school student currently attending Verbana National Academy . As noted by Kaede, Rin's main virtue is his kindness. This is both his greatest strength, as the girls love him because of this, and his greatest weakness, as shown later in the series by his indecisiveness and goal to make everyone happy (which usually ends up hurting them instead).
Rin lost both of his parents along with Kaede's mother to a car accident when he was about still attending elementary school. Around the same time that he lost his parents, he met both Sia and Lycoris separately. In both cases they were separated from their fathers, and Rin played with them until they were found by their respective fathers. This is why both Sia and Lycoris fell in love with Rin and would later on return to the human world to enroll in his high school and fight for his love. It is not known if this was before or after his parents' death.
When Sia and Nerine's arrivals were announced by Mayumi, Asa joked about Rin's lack of enthusiasm for girls: "it seems there's still time before a love rival appears before Kaede."
Rin meets Primula at an arcade when she came to see him in the human world. When the two went home there was shock & talk about where primula would live. Rin thinks of himself as a freeloader at the Fuyou family, so he thought it really wasn't up to him if Primula lived there... but Kaede then said "as long as Rin doesn't mind" Nerine also started saying that it might be a problem... but Rin realized that Primula only came to see him, and so now Primula live in the Fuyou family home.
Rin shows minimal initiative when dealing with girls, but he develops feelings for both Sia and Nerine quickly when they arrive and spends more and more time with them. With regards to Kaede, he thinks of her as a childhood friend only. When people comment that Kaede and him would make a good couple, Rin either waves it off or says that it is strange to think of it that way. This distance kept between them is caused in part by Kaede and Rin's dark past.
