Rin Tohsaka (Fate/kaleid)

is the magus overseeing Illya's activities in Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA.
==Profile==
===Background===
Rin differs from her main counterpart in various ways. She and her family have had no participation in the Holy Grail War ritual, having never even heard of it or the Einzbern family, although her sister Sakura was still given to the Matou family. She fell for Shirou in the same manner after seeing him stubbornly attempt a high jump that was impossible for him, but started displaying her feelings for him more openly.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 2wei! - Chapter 14.5: "The Girl's Reasons" She was allowed into the Mage's Association at a much younger age, directly after graduating middle school,Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 2wei! - Chapter 19.5: "Girl's Situation 4" and put under the direct tutelage of Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg. She was given the assignment to claim the Class Cards along with Luvia, and she was given the Kaleidostick, Magical Ruby, to accomplish the task.
===Appearance===
Similar to her Fate/stay night counterpart, Rin has blue eyes, and wears two black ribbons on each side of her long hair. She wears a red long-sleeved shirt paired with a black mini-skirt and thigh-high stockings. She also wears her school uniform the same way as she usually does, but is more often seen with shorter sleeves than the usual long ones.
Her other casual outfits often vary; but for the most part has outfits with tinges of red; including stockings and shorts or skirts of various patterns that reveal much of her legs.
Her magical girl outfit is also similar to her Fate/hollow ataraxia counterpart; complete with a red-and-white themed dress, cloak, and animal ears.

===Personality===
Like her original counterpart, Rin has a resourceful, perceptive, and serious personality; Rin also shows a heavy amount of emotion and concern in regards to anything involving her biological sister Sakura Matou which is made even more apparent when she finds out about what happened to the Sakura of Miyu's universe to the point of even shouting at her to listen to her own "sister". She also shares the original personality on being tsundere towards Shirou (albeit being more cliché than usual). Rin has a very competitive rivalry with Luvia, especially regarding their mutual feelings for Shirou. Their fighting brings great destruction all around them, and it often brings them larger problems afterward. They do share a deep friendship, but it is overshadowed by their fighting and constant mistrust towards each other. Because of how she needs money, Rin is shown to comically willing swallow her pride in order to get a job with high wage. 
It is stated many times by others (mostly Ruby and Luvia) that Rin is conscious of her chest size. 
==Role==
===Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA===
Rin arrives in Fuyuki with Luvia, but their fighting causes their Kaleidostick's to reject them and cancel their contracts. Ruby ends up in the hands of Illya, and due to the Kaleidostick taking a liking to her, Rin forces her to act as her "servant" and collect the cards in her place.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA - Chapter 1
Rin and Illya later on have to team up with Luvia and her protegee, Miyu Edelfelt, collecting in the process most seven Cards of each class. After collecting the Berserker Class Card, she receives a phone call from Lord El-Melloi II. He congratulates her for collecting all the Cards and says that the Great Master has said he would not mind taking them as his pupils but however before they may study thaumaturgy, they must both learn common sense and that fortunately the country were they currently were, Japan, values cooperation and harmony, ordering them to study there for a year.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA - Chapter 13.5: "Epilogue"

They claim that they are here to take Miyu with them. The people around the area are then flashed by a white light which transports them to an alternate universe.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 2wei! - Chapter 27: "Finale"

Rin and Luvia are captured by the Ainsworths, brainwashed and transformed into servants of the family.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 14: "A Young Lady's Room" They chase Illya after she is also captured,Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 16: "People and Tools" and fight her alongside Angelica with Nameless Class Cards.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 17: "The Foreseen Eternity" They are eventually freed from Angelica's mind control by Gilgamesh and Bazett, and join again Illya's group.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 20: "To the Princess"
During the fight, she manages to catch the alternate version of Shirou Emiya in the air after he was severely injured by Sakura's surprise attack and Beatrice's Mjölnir.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 24: "Broken Doll" She stays by his side till the end of the battle, trying to heal him but unsuccessful.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 26: "Burning Determination" Bazett then comes to her and gives her back her pendant, saying that she found it after being transported into this world. With that, she manages to fully heal him.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 27: "Persevering Miracle" Shirou then offers them to stay in his place if they have nowhere else to stay. Rin then reunite with the others in the living room to hear about Shirou and Miyu's past; notably, after hearing that a different version of Sakura Matou had met a tragic end, in Miyu's world, Rin had expressed an intense dolorous facial expression.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 28: "The Siblings' Home"
After learning about Shirou and Miyu's past, Rin, along with Bazett and Luvia, then discussed the matter concerning the Ainsworths' goals. Because of their understanding of Magus's mindset, Rin suggests that their goal isn't simply world salvation like the Ainsworths stated.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 44: "The Problematic Truth"

During most of the fight against Julian, Rin, alongside Luvia, Shirou, and Angelica, stayed behind at the Emiya residence to observe the battle, where eventually the Holy Grail Mud from Pandora's Box started swallowing the house as it rose higher, forcing them to be stuck on the roof. When Darius took control of Julian, followed by Chloe's sacrifice, she and everyone else perished as the world ended,Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 60: "A certain's world conclusion" but they were brought back when Illya erased herself out of existence to turn back time. In the new timeline, she and the others then started to fight Darius' Headless Giants, although with new memories of entrusting everything to Miyu, which Rin is slightly confused about.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 67: "Someone" They have to deal with Sakura, who still wants to kill Shirou, and she eventually defeats him. But before she can kill him, Rin and Luvia intervened by shooting her in the back with a Gandr, angering her but stopping her in her tracks when Rin shouts at her to listen to her "older sister". This makes Sakura call her a liar, as her Rin died five years ago. This however causes Rin to breathe a sigh of relief, telling Sakura that she is glad that they could get to live as siblings in a world like this. As she and Luvia proceed to shoot at her, this gives Shirou and Angelica the opportunity to defeat her with, both Shirou and Sakura sinking into the mud.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 70.2: "Twinkling Stars"
Later, Bazett, Julian, and Beatrice manage to reunite with Rin and the rest, and Beatrice makes them all remember Illya and Chloe. After being asked where Shirou is and telling them of his victory against Sakura, Rin looks down at the mud and ponders if Sakura wanted a "lover's suicide" with Shirou.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 72.1: "That Gap"
At the same time Miyu regains her powers as the Child Of God and summon the Fifth Holy Grail War Servants to combat Darius, Rin and Luvia see Sakura coming out of the mud.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 72.2: "Come Forth, Guardians of the Scales!" When they notice that she has regained her senses, Rin realizes that she must have transported her heart to the Imaginary Numbers Space before Shinji could crush it. After Sakura uses Rule Breaker to save Shirou, she and the others see EMIYA, now manifested, standing on the roof as he prepares to shoot an arrow at Darius.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 73.1: "Shoot" After the battle Shirou and EMIYA started to talk with the former stumbling down due to his overuse of the Archer Card. Rin, alongside Luvia and Sakura then helped him up as EMIYA asks Shirou if his self destructive behavior is worth boasting.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 74.1: "That is Who I am"

Rin is an accomplished magus, and when allowed by Ruby to assume a Magical Girl form, displays great capability. Though normally competent, her conflicts with Luvia often cause them to perform various embarrassing blunders that leave Illya and Miyu with a negative opinion of their skills.
Like her many other counterparts, Rin primary offense spell is the Gandr curse, which manifest in typical fashion as a hazy black shot with crimson outlines. She is able to concentrate the mana for the curse in her index finger and fire a small barrage in little time, each shot capable of slightly burning the area they hit. While Rin does possess the ability to use healing magic, she admits she is a rather weak user, requiring her quite a bit of time to even stabilize a wounded Shirou before she could actually heal his injuries.
Interestingly, she is in the possession of the Azoth Sword but unlike her Fate/stay night counterpart she occasionally begins large rituals that requires jewels with the command Sign, follow by a fold of how many jewels she is using.
In her quest to humiliate Luvia, Rin has also taught herself the use of the Shared-Pain curse, a kind of witchcraft technique that slaves an individual to another's sense of pain.
Like her other counterparts, Rin is also shown to be capable in hand to hand combat.
=== Thor's Hammer===
Rin is able to use a support spell named , a gun battery considered as a high speed rotation of the magic amplification circuit. She first starts by pulling off the Azoth Sword and throwing eight jewels that will align in front of the weapon. The spell consists of a large ritual with eight steps that will build the amplification circuit where she will recite the incantations in German. After activating it, she allows Illya and Miyu to shoot a powerful charged beam at their opponent.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 2wei! - Chapter 21: "Broken Illusions"

===Kaleido Form: Ruby===
Being an experienced user of the kaleidosticks, Rin has displayed many advanced techniques while in her Ruby form. She was able to briefly stall a corrupted Saber by forming a mana-blade at the top of Ruby, which was durable enough to clash with Excalibur.
She was able to freely fly and levitate, able to divert mana for either physical enhancement or shielding at near immediate speed, and understood the use of the Include function for the Class Cards.
