## Background

### History

For as long as she could remember, it was always just her and her mother. Rinya remembered some stories of her father, the charming hero that had stolen her mother's heart when he came to Brazil. Of course, Rinya never got the chance to meet him growing up, only the occasional gift for her birthday and holidays. Oh well, if he didn't want her that was okay, it was her and her mother against the world.

At least it was until her word came crashing down around her. At 15 her mother died and Rinya was left alone in the world -- or that was how it felt to her. As suddenly as her mother had been taken Rinya found herself thrust into an entirely different world. She was bound for Japan, back to her father. Maybe it would be different, she didn't have to mourn alone and she could find support. No, that wasn't in her stars. She couldn't call him father, sworn to secrecy about who she was. It would he unbecoming for a pro hero to present his illegitimate child to world. She couldn't even tell Shinya that she was his sister. She was plunged into a cold place and the only warmth would have to come from the stoking anger in her chest.

Everything was different there. Sure, her quirk made her a quick study and her obvious progress at the sports festival in Osaka made her one to watch. But there was always that clear distain for her too. Nyagaijin. She hated that stupid pun. But what could she do but accept it? Even if everyone had something to say about her dark skin and strange accent at least they couldn't deny her talents. Unlike her new 'family'. Her father's wife that hated her, his son that pretended not to know who she was. The father that bought her anything but could never look her in the eyes. It was such a stark difference to the warmth she'd grown in with her mother, this loneliness was sharp and profound.

Nonetheless, Rinya excelled in hero courses. She was personable without even trying to. Though everyone knew her as an outsider, they couldn't help but be charmed by her. She still had to fight to find. Place to start though, to find an agency willing to take her on when they knew the rumors about why she'd come there in the first place. It wasn't like her father would ever let her join his agency anyway. She didn't need their help despite it all, she rose in popularity for her physical prowess and her charm. She wasn't really in it for the fame, she wanted to prove that she could do it. That despite it all, she would defend the people as of they had always been her own.

The opening portals were definitely suspicious and maybe it would have been better to close them off or try to ignore them. However, in trying to discourage civilians from stepping through, she found herself feeling called in. She knew it was a bad idea, but inside her was still that girl looking for home. If she left this place that would never really accept her, maybe she still had a chance to find it. Of course, now she can't exactly get back anyway.

### Motivations and Goals

Though she will say she just wants to get back to her world, Rinya is looking for a place to belong, to feel like home and maybe find a person that doesn't make her feel like she's always on her own

### Relationships with other Characters

Difficult relationships wither her brother - Shinya Nekomura (Played by Kai).

## Room

### Rinya's Nexus Hub Room: The Enchanted Oasis

Rinya's room in the Nexus Hub's Harmony Quarters is a tranquil and enchanting space that perfectly reflects her unique personality and love for the natural world. Lanterns of various sizes hang from the ceiling, casting a warm, inviting glow throughout the room. They come in shades of sea blue, vibrant green, and orange-red, creating a harmonious blend of her favorite colors.

The centerpiece of the room is a lofted space beside her bed, nestled among lush plant life that grows along the walls and even from the floor. Vines and ivy climb up the wooden beams of the loft, creating a cozy and secluded sleeping nook. The bed itself is adorned with sea-blue and orange-red pillows and blankets, offering a comfortable and rejuvenating place to rest.

Jellyfish-shaped lights and aquariums filled with colorful marine life add a touch of underwater magic to the room. Rinya finds solace in watching the graceful movements of the jellyfish and the mesmerizing dance of the fish. The soothing sounds of bubbling water and chirping crickets, courtesy of hidden speakers, complete the serene ambiance of her personal oasis within the Nexus Hub.
