brownie

While Rin has the appearance of a brownie, she has some traits more akin to a quickling. She has cream colored skin with pale blue tinges, pointy ears, wavy silver blue hair, and amber eyes. She can stand very still, but when she moves, she can easily achieve speeds like a quickling and is a blur of activity. She typically wears ornate colorful cloths.

She has a kind and inquisitive nature. She has a knack for appraising appearance and status. Her psychic abilities allows her to sense motive and intent. When she talks, it is often indecipherable chatter, unless she puts considerable effort into slowing down and being understood.
