Rin Nohara

Rin Nohara is a supporting character in the anime and manga series Naruto. She was the female student of Minato Namikaze's squad along with young Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha. Rin was Obito's childhood friend and love interest, but she was in love with his rival, Kakashi.
She was voiced by Haruhi Nanao in the Japanese version, who also voiced Mai Valentine in Yu-Gi-Oh!, while in the English version, she is voiced by Stephanie Sheh, who also voiced Hinata Hyūga in the same series.
==Physical appearance==
Rin is a young girl with fair skin, brown eyes, and short, chin-length hair. On each of her cheeks are rectangular purple markings.
She wears a black shirt with sleeves slightly below her elbow, and a white apron over her black shorts. She wears thigh-high red/brown stockings, the standard shinobi sandals and holster.
==Personality==
Rin is noted to be a kind, intellectual and devoted girl. She supported her friends and teammates whether that be through healing their wounds with her medical ninjutsu or passionately encouraging them. She showed a strong will and steadfast determination when withstanding and defying a genjutsu to make her talk and having to transplant Obito’s eye to Kakashi. Rin had a deep sense of kindness and care towards her best friend, Obito, and to him, she was the only light in his life. She would keep a close eye on him, always noticing when he would try act strong and hide his wounds, and she believed in him and supported his dream of becoming Hokage. She also showed a great deal of selflessness as she was willing to sacrifice herself for her village.
==History==
She was a chunin level kunoichi and with medical ninja skills, and her team participated in the Third Shinobi World War.
Sometime later, she was killed by Kakashi, who pierced her chest with a chidori. She actually committed suicide after she was kidnapped and had the three-tails sealed in her body, turning her into a Jinchūriki. She also had a forbidden curse tag implanted in her so the tailed beast would be let loose as soon as her and Kakashi returned to the Hidden Leaf Village. To prevent this from happening, Rin jumped in front of Kakashi's chidori when he was fighting shinobis from the mist that were attacking them. Kakashi was traumatized by this event that would haunt him for years. Obito also witnessed everything, and thought that Kakashi had betrayed him killing Rin, so he was consumed by grief and rage.
In reality, Rin's kidnapping was part of Madara's plans to turn Obito into his pawn, so that he could accomplish his goals. Madara knew about Obito's feelings for Rin, and that it would be a good way to manipulate Obito to follow him if he was feeling betrayed and had the desire to take revenge on the ones who harmed her.
===Lingering Spirit===
After her death, Rin stayed at the entrance to the Pure Land (afterlife), where she watched over Kakashi and Obito. When Obito died, Rin greeted him; teasing Obito for getting lost (in life). Obito asked Rin to wait a bit longer before returning to the Living World as chakra to temporarily empower Kakashi to fight against Kaguya.

==Trivia==
*Rin’s name, (リン), has several meanings such as “dignified”, “severe”, and “cold”. Her surname, (のはら), means “field”.
*Her birthday is November 15th.
*She was the first member of Team Minato to truly die. Minato dies right after her, and Obito would die several years later.
*Rin's appearance reminds members of the Inuzuka Clan because of the purple paint on both her cheeks.
*She had two video game appearances so far, in the story mode of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations and as a playable character in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4.
*Rin's death parallels the same way Kakashi killed Haku.
*Rin appears to be a parallel of Sakura Haruno. She shares the same role that Sakura does in the love-triangle dynamic of her team, having one teammate be in love with her whilst being in love with the other teammate. She also shares Sakura’s talent of medical ninjutsu, a talent difficult for ninja to achieve as it requires a high level of chakra control and intelligence.
