Lingyin Huang

Lingyin Huang, also known as Rin, is one of the main characters from the IS: Infinite Stratos series.
== Charactah Account ==
The Chinese Representative of the Infinite Stratos Academy and the pilot of the Shen Long, Lingyin is the second childhood friend of Ichika. She was best friends with Ichika during their days in Junior High School and had a crush on him because of him standing up for her when several kids bullied her due to her nationality. Of all of the cast members, she is perhaps the most open to physical interaction with him (although this mostly platonic physical interaction). During her stay in Japan, Ichika would visit her family's restaurant as his sister was out at work most of the time and she is a natural cook. Before she left however, she made a promise to him that he would marry her if she could cook well for him. Ichika however misinterpreted that for free food.
She joined the academy shortly after Cecilia became another member in his harem and among the cast is known for her flat chest which she takes heavy offense to.

== Trivia ==
* Lingyin's name in kanji means "sound of the bell". Bell (Ling) and Sound (yin). Her name matches her loud voice. In Chinese, her name literally means "Phoenix Ringtone".
* Among the 5 girls in Ichika's harem, Lingyin has the lowest rate of public appearances.
* Lingyin Is the most agressive to Ichika out of his friends.
* Lingyin's Main Theme consist of an erhu, a bowed instrument from China.
* Her IS's design seems to be a reference to the XXXG-01S Shenlong Gundam, XXXG-01S2 Altron Gundam, OZ-13MS Gundam Epyon from Gundam Wing, and the ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam from Gundam SEED.
* Lingyin's voice actress, Asami Shimoda, also provided the voice for Kagamine Rin (and Kagamine Len) for Crypton's VOCALOID2 software. Interestingly, Lingyin is usually addressed as "Rin" in the anime.
* Asami Shimoda is also casting as Alice from Killer Is Dead game, which her monster mode has same model
* Even though her voice actress did Kagamine Rin's voice, Lingyin more closely resembles Hatsune Miku in design.
* Lingyin has many similarities with Houki:
** Both are childhood friends of Ichika  
** Both had bad starts with Ichika until he stood up for them against bullies.  
** Both can be really cruel towards Ichika at times.  
** Both are stubborn, prideful, impulsive and good cooks.  
** They both kept their hairstyles the same because Ichika said it suits them (which allowed him to recognize them when he first saw them again). Their hairstyle also make reference to which childhood friend they are: the first childhood friend has a single ponytail (Houki), well the second has twin tails (Lingyin).  
** Both are rather boyish and, as a result, both like it when Ichika looks at them as girls.  
** Both have problems about their breast size's, but for an opposite reason: Houki's breast keep getting bigger, while Lingyin's breast are still small.  
* As seen in volume 8, Lingyin's ideal world is back when she was in middle school, but in a relationship with Ichika. This could be the reason why she usually tries to bring up her past history with Ichika.  
* She has a similar appearance to Ryutaros & Minami Shimada.
* Her IS's name is used for hoax character from Street Fighter series.
* Ever though she was in Class 2 until the end of volume 9, she appears in all class 1 events (training, field trips ...)
* She alongside Cecilia make a cameo in the manga Kampfer chapter 34
* Since middle school, Lingyin has had a bad habit of forgetting her wallet, which has put her in debt to some of her friends (Ichika and Cecilia).
* Her measurements are B75, W54, H78 (A Cup in Japan, AA cup in America).
