Rinne Sonogami

Rinne Sonogami, also known as Ruler, is one of the main characters from the Date A Live series.
== Charactah Account ==
Eden is her first power and is presumably her primary ability. Eden's power is summarized by Reine as "the power to redo the world until the user gains the desired result". Using this power, Rinne can create a large field where all the events inside the field can be manipulated and redone as many times as she desires. This is the power that Rinne used to hide the tree that functioned as the core of the Eden, by manipulating the residents of the Tengu City into believing it to be the city's new monument: New Tengu Tower.
Rinne also used this power to make herself be Shidou's kind childhood friend that was always with him ever since they were kids. According to Reine, this ability could be seen as an Angel, but on a scale that far surpasses one. Paradise Lost is an ability that allows her to control the roots of the tree that is the core of Eden to attack her enemies. Rather than hurting the enemies physically, the roots take their consciousness. Rinne used this power to defeat Shidou and the Spirits.
Rinne also has the power to summon multiple guardians, cloaked beings with humanoid forms and 6 wings that wear either a red, white, or black cloak. Individually they are powerful, but not as powerful as an unsealed spirit. In each route, except Rinne's, the chosen girl and Shidou will have an encounter with these Guardians.

== Trivia ==
* "Sonogami" means "God of the Garden", which references her power to control everything inside the field of Eden with her own will.
* The kanji of her first name (Rinne) is also a play on word of (also read as "Rinne"), a Japanese term of Samsara; the repeating cycle of birth, life, and death within South Asian religions, particularly Buddhism.
* In one of her route's bad endings, the inside of her house is revealed to be the exact copy of Shidou's house except that it's completely empty.
* In Volume 11, when Shidou met Phantom, she assumes Rinne's form to talk with him in order to hide her real form from him.
* According to the 4-koma comic from Ars Install novel, Rinne is the type of girl that Shidou likes.
* Rinne Phantasia is indirectly hinted to take place in a timeline where Shidou never met or got involved with the Spirits. This argument is supported when Tamae asked Rinne to sit on the seat next to Shidou which would be conflicting with the canon timeline since the seats next to Shidou are already filled by Tohka and Origami, and so it would be normal to think that the seats are empty because Tooka or/and Origami aren't in the same class as Shidou.
* Rinne's Angel Eden is similar to Mio Takamiya's Angel Ain Soph; both take the form of large trees that allow the user to manipulate reality within their territory. The kanji for Ain Soph includes "Rinne", albeit as "Samsara" rather than the kanji in Rinne's name, and both Angels contain kanji for "Paradise" (Rakuen).
