Rin

Lin (リン) is a character in Hokuto Musou and a supporting character in the original series. Her earliest memory of her childhood is her family being slaughtered before her eyes. Shocked by the tragedy, she was unable to talk and helped her local village by taking care of prisoners. When the food thief Bat and the dehydrated Kenshiro are thrown into jail, Lin watches over them. Once Kenshiro learns her past, he unlocks pressure points around her head to allow her to talk again. Like Bat, she chooses to follow Kenshiro in his travels. She has a strong sense of clairvoyance and a maternal sense of protection in spite of her age.

She eventually grows into adulthood as a freedom fighter. She has romantic feelings for both Kenshiro and Bat.
