==History==
===Background===
Rinne Kudo was born to her father Fuga Kudo, a powerful alchemist of the Alchemys Union. As a child, her father read to her the story of the "Alchemist of the Dawn", eventually aspiring to become an alchemist in her father's footsteps. However about ten years ago, he vanished following an incident regarding the theft of the Ride Chemy Cards from the school, leading to the academy and Rinne herself branding him as a traitor.
===Present Day===
In the present day, she began attending Furasu High School where she met Houtaro Ichinose and began aiding him in his journey of becoming Kamen Rider Gotchard and an alchemist. 
==Personality==
Rinne is well-mannered and academically gifted. As an alchemist, she upholds the rules of the academy by the book and frequently reprimands Houtaro whenever his actions don't follow the set up rules. As a child Rinne was cheerful and enthusiastic and was very close with her father, wanting to make everyone happy and follow in her father's footsteps. However due to his betrayal ten years ago, she became socially aloof and unable to open up to others. However Houtaro's recent kindness and compassion for her during her lowest points helped to mitigate the insecurity and lack of self-worth in her, resulting her opening up a little more. She attended more social activities with Houtaro and showcased a comedic side where she was in amusement and laughing from a haunted house. 
Recent events such as Minato's betrayal, getting herself expelled from the academy, and being blamed on for the near death of Seina Tsukumo, did make Rinne self-doubt about her true core as an alchemist. Ultimately, after Houtaro revealed that Fuga had followed a rule for himself, even after the Alchemist Academy deems him a traitor due to Glion's brainwashing, Rinne's conviction was renewed, declaring that her own rule is herself to decide.
==Power and Abilities==
===Power===
*Alchemy: As an alchemist, Rinne can perform alchemy to repel and pull objects with ease, and can even use the objects she manipulates as shields. After her Alchemist Ring evolves into a unique orange color and gaining the ability to switch between her normal Alchemist Ring and High Alchemist Ring, she can perform greater alchemy for offense and defense, both in her civilian form and in her Rider form.
**Matter Manipulation: After Rinne's Alchemist Ring evolves, she can create matter from nothingness to perform attacks or create energy shields for blocking enemy attacks.
===Abilities===
*Adaptive Combatant: to be added
===Weaknesses===
*Energy Depletion: Despite the High Alchemist Ring providing Rinne the ability to perform powerful alchemy and transform into a Kamen Rider, it will also cause excessive depletion of energy, which may cause her to lose her alchemy powers and even prevent her from transforming for a period of time. This weakness can somewhat be mitigated by charging the ring with the Alchemis Charger.

==Notes==
*Rinne is recognized as a main protagonist alongside Houtaro, as the writers intended to showcase a dual dynamic between a male and female character.https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/gotchard/02/
*Kamen Rider Majade sets a milestone by being the first female Secondary Rider in the franchise.https://twitter.com/toeihero_movie/status/1738122208286048632https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/gotchard/20/https://twitter.com/RiderTimeFans1/status/1740725172280471812 Vol. 183 of Uchusen states that Kamen Rider Majade will have the position of the Secondary Rider.
*Kamen Rider Majade was initially revealed earlier in the November 2023 issue of Televi-Kun. It was featured as part of a sticker pack set to be release with the December issue.
*Since she wears a ring in battle, Majade Sununicorn almost always uses open-handed strikes, judo maneuvers, and kicks rather than punches, in a similar fashion to Kamen Rider Wizard. This is not the case for her Mooncerberus form, which is equipped with gauntlets.
*The arms, shoulder pads, and head of Majade Mooncerberus are the only new parts of the suit. The rest of the body is the same as Sununicorn but with the gem color changed from orange to azure.

** (Kudo Rinne)
