• Parents: incredible strained due to the repeated abuse. They want nothing to do with her and are happy to be rid of her, but Rin still wishes to reconnect and thinks that if she can show that she's successful and capable then they might approve of her one day.;
• Hospital staff: Friendly as she is a frequent visitor. On casual, first name basis with many of the nurses. Some will spend more time with her when Rin visits so that she doesn't have to feel so lonely Backstory:
• Chaerin grew up in a regular middle-class family, but her parents grew increasingly abusive towards her. They often berated her, and preferred to lock her in her bedroom and sometimes the closet for days on end (whenever she didn't have school) just so they wouldn't have to perceive her around the house. The first incident of physical violence ended with hot soup on her chest that left a long-lasting scar
• The constant stress left her health completely wrecked, causing repeated stomach ulcers. Frequently collapsed and hospitalised for it throughout her childhood.
• Started sneaking out more and more often, spending most of her time at a local park, where she eventually found an abandoned and broken electric guitar.
• Fell in love with music and learned to play in the park, eventually doing odd jobs (illegally) for cash so she could fix up the guitar.
• Started busking at age 12 to earn extra cash.
• Her parents found her guitar when she was 14, and they beat her with it until it was in pieces. The broken, bloodstained, guitar still sits in the house as a reminder.
• Collapsed on the street when she was 16 due to her ulcer perforating her stomach lining once, a random passer-by called the ambulance for her.
• In all the times she was in hospital, she's never had visitors. Always alone.
• Kicked out of home on the day she turned 18, but she's still trying to go home, to earn their approval. Likes: konjac jelly(sensitive stomach), rock music, tea, crowded spaces(feeling alive), park playgrounds at night(where she learned to play guitar); Dislikes: alcohol, being touched without warning, hospitals; Fears: claustrophobia, being truly perceived(hiding physical and emotional scars), becoming dependent on someone, being abandoned(she memorises phone numbers instead of saving them as contacts on her phone); Hobbies: karaoke, thrifting, reading; ]
