Rinkah

Daughter of the Flame Tribe chieftain. Her aloof disposition belies the wildness in her heart. Appears in Fire Emblem Fates. Name: Rinkah Gender: Female Race: Human (Flame Tribe) Birthday: February 5 Relatives: Flame Tribe Chieftain (Father) Occupation: Flame Tribe Representative Weapon: Steel Mace </Personal Information> Rinkah is a muscular young woman with tanned skin, short white hair, red line tattoo marks on her cheeks and auburn eyes. Her attire consists of a white chest wrap that exposes her midriff, black beaded necklace, bandages wrapped around her arm, red arm guards, white and black baggy pants with a red cloth hanging from the center and black boots. On her forehead is a beige horned Oni mask with red hair on it. As a result of being born as the direct descendant of the Fire Tribe's chieftain, Rinkah has thus been trained since infancy to become a warrior worthy of inheriting the title of chieftain in the future. Stalwart in her dedication to her training, Rinkah constantly strives towards bettering her combat skills, never once permitting herself to be complacent. This fact is reflected through a good number of the supports that she shares with many characters, like Silas and Hinata, where, despite her inclination to isolate herself from others, she readily accepts any challenge that is put forth to her to test her mettle.

The strictness of Rinkah's training has molded her into a paragon of courage and toughness that is unrivaled by almost anyone in the army. Due to this, she thus adopts a no-nonsense policy in her regard of others, and will not hesitate to lash out at anyone for their cowardice. Her supports with Hayato reveal this, where she, in a fit of impatient rage, scolds him for attempting to throw away his vegetables because he considers them too bitter for his liking.

In accordance with her clan's law of solitude, Rinkah chooses to isolate herself from the rest of her allies, preferring to be in her own company in that of being in others. This fact is proven through a number of her supports like Takumi, Kaden and Keaton, where she expresses annoyance whenever anyone seeks to interact with her. Her C-support with Ryoma, for one, sees her responding to his call for her attention by demanding to know why her Hoshidan allies talk excessively and cannot seem to leave her in peace and quiet.

However, as her support conversations progress, she begins to open up to others. In her A-Support with Jakob she admits that she has begun to enjoy interacting with other members of the army. She also explains that her tribe's culture values a small number of intimate friendships rather than many casual relationships; something she realizes many of her new allies also value. This new understanding is reflected in other supports, as she begins to initiate conversations with fellow soldiers and even eat alongside them.

Despite her bold personality, Rinkah can become quickly embarrassed while expressing sensitive emotions. During her confession to Male Corrin, she becomes so red-faced and sweaty that he worries she's caught a fever.

Rinkah has a deep love for food. She typically eats large meals, though she usually made huge messes as a result of never eating with utensils (until Oboro showed her how much more food she could eat with a fork and knife). She abhors the idea of wasting food, to the point that she claims she'll "never forgive" Hayato for throwing away his vegetables-all while eating said vegetables.

As a result of her obstinate maintenance of a stoic demeanor, Rinkah is rather adamant about avoiding any action that would make her appear weak. Her supports with Kaze reveal this, where she initially rudely refuses his offer of candy for fear that her desire for treats may be interpreted as a sign of weakness.

She has the highest body temperature in the army. Rinkah is a fighter born into the Flame Tribe, which exists independent of the kingdom of Hoshido. Following the orders of her father, she provides assistance to the royal family of Hoshido in their struggle against the invasion of Nohr.

Rinkah first appears in Chapter 2, where she, Kaze and several Hoshidan soldiers are captured as prisoners of war during a skirmish with Nohr. Forced to fight against Corrin by King Garon, Rinkah, undaunted by the challenge facing her, brashly announces her name before jumping into the fray of battle. Despite the best efforts of Rinkah and her allies, they are eventually defeated, whereupon Garon orders Corrin to execute them, an order that they refuse to obey. When Xander's attempt to slay Rinkah and Kaze on Corrin's behalf fails, Leo pretends to execute them by hurting them sufficiently to convince Garon of their demise. Following this, Xander, under the pretext of ordering his subordinates to bring the corpses of Rinkah and Kaze to his private quarters, manages to secretly help them escape from Nohr. Before her departure, Rinkah warns Corrin that their naïveté will eventually prove to be their undoing.

Rinkah next appears at the end of Chapter 3, where she stumbles upon Corrin as they wander across the border into the realm of Hoshido after being warped back to the real world by Lilith. Mistaking them for a random Nohrian soldier, she knocks them out cold and captures them. Taking them back to her abode in the Fire Tribe, she learns that Corrin is the long lost child of Queen Mikoto and nurses them back to health. After spending the night in her home, she and Kaze bring Corrin to the Hoshido siblings, and an emotional family reunion, helps them defend a mountain village from a horde of Faceless in Chapter 4.

Rinkah and Kaze later accompany the siblings to the capital of Hoshido, only to bear witness to the main plaza being blown up by a hooded man, an event that claims the lives of Mikoto and a crowd of Hoshidan civilians in Chapter 5. The arrival of a horde of invisible soldiers on the scene thereafter prompts Rinkah and Kaze to aid the Hoshidan royals in eliminating the plaza of their presence.

After the invisible soldiers are routed, Rinkah continues to remain allied with the Hoshidan forces, electing to accompany them to the Plains of Hoshido to face an incoming Nohrian invasion in Chapter 6. Rinkah's main weapon is a steel mace.
