Rinko

*"Come on, let's go you slowpokes!"* —Rinko

*Rinko* is a starter Investigator in White Noise 2.

## Description

Rinko's guts and straightforwardness have always made her go the wrong path.

Her last act of lunacy: Accept a bet to spend the night in a mysterious place.

### Traits

* INTUITION: Rinko's compass is more accurate. This trait is disabled in Classic Mode.
* ADORABLE: If Rinko is devoured, other investigators lose their sanity, and their Bravery decreases by 10%.

## Tips

Rinko's playstyle focuses more on fighting back against the creature than running from it. Her good Speed stat can be sacrificed by choosing a heavier flashlight to make banishing the creature from a distance easier, or she can boost her already high Speed with a high mobility flashlight.

Rinko's high Bravery combined with high Speed and a good flashlight will mean that charging into the aid of fellow investigators and rushing up to the creature to stun it is no problem for Rinko. However, it's good to know when to run away, as with every other Investigator.

Being a guard can be dangerous, and getting devoured by the creature is bad news for Rinko's team, especially later in the game. When ADORABLE activates, the team of investigators is going to have a harder time slowing down and banishing the creature as the amount of time the investigators can spend looking at the creature without going insane will be greatly reduced.

Despite being a starter character, it's best if she is avoided by newer players in favor of an easier starter character like Phileas, as getting devoured will severely harm the remaining team.

## Trivia

* Rinko's character-specific quote was originally "I'm not scared! I'm not scared!" This was changed as the quote conflicted with Rinko's character, as she has a high Bravery stat and is implied to be daring.
* Rinko is the shortest Investigator in the game.
* Rinko's voice actor is the only one who does not appear in the credits. This is because her voice actor asked to not be included.
