Personality Type

Rin is a very deranged soul. She appears to be a very rebellious and angsty type at first glance and first acquaintance, which is true, but there is definitely much more to her. On the surface, and if you haven’t given her the chance to warm up to you, she will seem rather cold and cruel, basically rejecting everybody. She only feels completely comfortable around Haru and, as of late, she’s begun to feel comfortable around Tohru. Because of her lonely, exclusive personality, she only feels comfortable eating when she’s alone, or with very specific people, and even then she rarely eats anything.

Isuzu suffers from stomach ulcers which both causes and is caused by her lack of food intake. This is enhanced greatly by the stress that she is put through on a daily basis. One of the few foods she seems to love is Jell-O, and she eats it willingly, so long as she’s not being bothered by people. She also absolutely loathes the way all the Sohma’s submit to Akito, and she avoids the God at all costs, because it only leads to trouble for herself and she’s generally terrified of her. Rather recently, Rin’s come to really like Tohru, and she’s even protective of her in certain occasions, and she gets quite defensive when people get mad at Tohru.

When she’s not being moody or angsty, she can actually be a rather quiet and kind person. Sadly, this only really happens when she’s alone or with Haru, because they’re the only times she really feels safe letting her guard down. Everybody assumes that she’s cold-hearted, and nobody ever really gives her the time of day. But when she has warmed up to a person and truly feels comfortable, she begins to lighten up, and even smile. It’s not easy to get it out of her, but it lets her know who’s actually worth befriending, because they’re the people that stick around long enough to find out.

Who is Isuzu?

When Rin was young, her parents were affectionate and devoted to her. Since Rin knew that members of the Sohma clan usually resented their cursed children, she asked her parents why they loved her so much one day. Her question shattered their caring attitude; their affection had been nothing but a façade for her benefit, to make it seem as though she was a normal child. After that, they never treated Rin decently again. She was neglected and they physically abused her to the point of being hospitalized on multiple occasions, at which time her parents told her that they didn't want her to come home ever again.

This has been one of the reasons as to why Rin dislikes being in the hospital and often tries to sneak out before she has fully recovered. She can’t stand the confinement and the fact that her parents always complain about her causing them so much trouble. The years of harsh treatment is the main reason as to why she’s built up such a wall around herself and her feelings. In her youth, her parents loved her, so she was a sweetheart that caused very little trouble and, as hard as it is to believe, probably frolicked in the flowers. But it was her own stupidity for asking why they loved her, and she is slightly glad to have realized it was all just an act for their own benefit in gaining money from the Sohma house.

When Yuki was confined in the Sohma household, Rin often snuck into his room with Haru. She generally acted as the lookout, so that Haru and Yuki could spend time together. Rin doesn’t necessarily dislike Yuki, but he’s still not that close to her. At first, she was worried about Haru’s safety and the horrible things that may happen to him if they got caught, but she warmed up to the idea as the two of them became closer. Even from a young age, Haru and Rin had always been very close to one another, Rin always craving the love of her ox counterpart. To this day, despite their quarrels, she loves him no matter what.

Rin tends to be a willful, proud woman who despises the way the other members of her clan submit to Akito, as if her rule was their life. Although she isolates herself, she can occasionally be seen in the company of Hiro, who along with Haru, Kagura, and Kagura's mother, were the only visitors Rin had during her stays in the hospital. Rin resided at Kagura Sohma’s house and recently graduated from a girls' private school, although Akito prevented her from attending the graduation ceremony. Rin suffers from stomach ulcers and eats very little, due to stress and psychological trauma. In addition, she feels uncomfortable eating around others, with the exception of Haru and later, Tohru Honda.

Kazuma, not a member of the Zodiak, but someone many Juunishi look up to, made himself a huge part of Rin’s life from early on. During her young disownment, Kazuma offered Rin a place to stay so that she didn’t have to reside within the inner Sohma household, near Akito. He knows mostly everything about her, even though she really never says much, and he respects that she likes to be alone, generally. When Rin found herself in need of a place to sleep for the night, she would always find a spare bedroom in Kazuma’s house always waiting for her. When Rin felt that Haru’s life was threatened by Akito’s anger, she broke off their relationship and avoided him, hiding from him any way she could. She couldn’t live with herself if he got hurt because of her actions. {Past events end here}

Rin met Tohru during the unfortunate event of her transformation into the horse of the Zodiak due to full exertion, which yet again threw her into the hospital. Later on, Rin found herself having an odd attraction to the strange girl, wanting nothing but to cry in her arms. This led her to Shigure, someone she really didn’t like for his millions of secrets, and she begged him to tell her the cure to the Sohma curse if he knew it, not only for her and Haru, but for the entire Sohma Zodiak. That same day, Rin found herself severely ill and bedridden in Shigure’s house, as per Hatori’s instructions. During the night, Tohru checked on her and Rin ended up crying herself back to sleep, desperately needing to rid herself of many depressions. When Isuzu was bedridden later on, Tohru visited her and she told Tohru that she wanted Jell-O, and since then they’ve been rather decent friends.

On an incident with Akito, being pushed out of a window after having her hair hacked off, Rin once again found herself in hospitalization. She confided in young Hiro, when he visited her at the hospital and told her he’d seen the event, about her inner struggle to protect Haru, making him promise to not tell Haru. But Hiro seemed to be unable to stand the visible pain of not having her beloved at her side and told him. Since their reconciliation and her rather permanently moving in with Kazuma to recover and have shelter, she’s taken up once again being in a relationship with Haru. Rin knows clearly the pain it may cause both of them, but being that he’s willing to face it, she figures she can, too. She thinks it’s far from fair to go through the stress and agony of not being with Haru and having someone to confide in.

Hopes, Dreams, and Goals

To dispose of the Sohma curse so that they can successfully be happy and together without the constant pain of not being able to love someone out of the family without transforming and just to be truly free from Akito. That and to be respected and loved by more people, since she’s generally looked down upon for her appearance and general attitude.

Character Update

Currently, Rin has broken off her relationship with Haru to keep him safe and has been avoiding him so that she won’t be hurt by the pain she know she’s caused him. She’s just recently met Tohru, and it wasn’t under the best of terms considering she was absolutely exhausted and in her horse form (temporarily). She currently has very few people to turn to and even less places to hide from those that she doesn’t want to run in to.
