Rin Shiretoko

is one of the four tritagonists (alongside Mei Irizaki, Kouko Nosa and Shima Tateishi) of the 2015 manga series High School Fleet and its 2016 anime adaptation, as well as the 2020 movie High School Fleet Movie.
Rin serves as the Chief Navigator and the Helmsman of the Harekaze. However, in spite of her duties, she is a known coward, whose first instinct is to run away at the sight of a battle, rather than confronting it head-on.
Along with one of the Harekaze crew members to be falsely accused of mutiny by Kaoru Furushou, who was under control by RATt Virus, Rin and the rest would go into hiding across the Pacific.
Rin is voiced by , who voiced other characters including Yuuri from Girls' Last Tour and Kaede Azusagawa from Rascal Does Not Dream of a Bunny Girl Senpai.
==Appearance==
Rin wears her hair in pigtails that are kept in place by twin five-petal flowers.
She wears her school uniform the majority of the time. She also opts for sneakers rather than the more traditional leather shoes.
==Personality==
Rin is often known to have a cowardly personality, who would run at the first sight of danger, rather than facing it head-on, in every battle the Harekaze goes. She would often frantically ask when the Harekaze would flee. However, over the course of the series, she would muster some courage, especially during the Harekaze crew being on the run.
In spite of the shortcoming, however, it is shown that Rin is nice towards the rest of her crew members.
==Background==
Rin had led a "run-run existence" since she was a youngster, fleeing at the first sign of terror, even if it meant leaving her companions behind. She would go to the waterfront and stare at the sea whenever this happened, and it seemed to help her relax. She wants to be a Blue Mermaid so she can break the pattern of running away.
Rin's run-run existence repeats again when the Harekaze is involved in a so-called "mutiny" after attacking the Sarushima. Nonetheless, she mustered as much bravery as possible, knowing that she was the only one who could get the Harekaze out of harm's path.
Rin was the first to agree to Akeno's proposal to halt the Hiei from infecting Chuuk Lagoon, encouraging the rest of the crew. Rin has almost fulfilled her goal of becoming a Blue Mermaid, despite the fact that dread still possesses her at times.
