Rin Satsuki (冴月　麟) was the third playable character of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil who was cut during production but managed to leave a trace in the source code. An alleged portrait of her (or an otherwise unknown character) appears on Team Shanghai Alice's circle ad in the Comiket when EoSD was first released. Official pronunciation and romanization are unknown.

Character Overview

Although there are no canon evidence to show what Rin really looks like, most people go with the Rin Satsuki in the circle cut with blonde hair, red bow, red blouse and pink or white shirt.

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)
