Trivia (Not canon)
- Official prununciation and romanization are unknown. Her name is "冴月 麟", generally pronounced "Rin Satsuki (さつき りん)."
- Her name Rin (麟) stands for the mythological creature Kirin, prompting some to believe that she was supposed to be a personification of a kirin. This is a supported by the fact that by the Japanese name order, her name is "Satsuki Rin."
- Based on a remark by Marisa in her Extra Stage, Rin is theorized to be a nurse, but this is pure speculation. However, in modern Japanese popular culture, the kirin is often conflated with the unicorn (cf. Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter), which has healing powers; this would suggest a connection between kirin and nurses.
- From the picture, she is shown holding a musical instrument. It could be that she is actually a Tsukumogami (Artifact spirit)
