"Maybe that beautiful fortune teller will read my future..."

- Man

Rina and the rest of the troupe stopped through the City-State of Jowston. After performing in the town of Ryube Village, Rina, Eilie, and Bolgan travelled briefly with Hero (Suikoden II) in order to reach the Highland Kingdom. Though briefly stopped by guards, Rina was able to convince them to allow the party through.

However, business in Highland proved poor, and Rina and her party returned to Jowston, where they once again met Riou and decided to travel onward with him, eventually becoming part of the New State Army.

Following the Dunan Unification War, Rina continued to travel with Eilie and Bolgan, leading a group of performers around the world.

Personality and Traits
Rina was said to be poised and sophisticated and was considered to be beautiful. Richmond had trouble believing that Rina was only a year older than her sister due to her maturity and confidence. Rina was quick to use this charm to try to gain what she desired. Rina managed to convince a guard stationed at North Sparrow Pass to allow her party to enter Highland after having an "Adult Conversation" and attempted to secure passage to South Window by acting flirtatiously.

Rina was very close to both Eilie and Bolgan. She worried about what would happen to them should anything ever happen to her. She encouraged Eilie to act on her crush with Riou, teaching her how to cook so that Eilie could invite Riou over for dinner. Rina also frequently mentioned Eilie to Riou, encouraging him to be nice to her and visit her.

Rina had an impressive ability to hold her liquor, beating Viktor in a drinking contest.
