He unsheathed Tenseiga and it began to pulsate, allowing him to see the messengers from the other world surrounding her corpse. Her death did not interest him and he had planned to continue on his way, but he recalled the girl's smile from earlier, which made him pause. He picks up the scent of blood and discovered Rin's corpse in passing. The smile that made Sesshōmaru revive her.Įlsewhere, Sesshōmaru had been rejoined by his traveling companions Jaken and a two-headed dragon. However, the wolves gave chase to her and she was soon overcome and killed by them. She ran into the forest, hoping to escape with her life. Whilst the thief ran off, Rin realized that she had to get away from the village. When the man realized she was there, they could hear the sounds of the Wolf Demon Tribe attacking the village and searching for the thief. She was shocked and remained in the doorway, frightened by the man. When Rin returned to her home later that day, she discovered a thief going through her food. Sesshōmaru scoffed at her, silently wondering what had made her suddenly so happy. This brought about a beaming smile on Rin's bruised face. When she later brought food she foraged in the forest, Rin's visible injuries sparked Sesshōmaru's curiosity, and he asked her about them. She was caught rummaging through one of the village's fish preserves, and some village men beat her and warned her not to do it again. Sesshōmaru never actually ate the food or accepted the help she gave him, but she continued with her actions. She went through the trouble of finding food in the village preserves or in the forest itself, and brought this food to him. She relentlessly and fearlessly tried to help him, even though he would not accept her help. She discovered the daiyōkai Sesshōmaru in a forest near her village. Rin was generally allowed to do whatever she wanted, so long as she did not disturb the villagers. Even when the villagers would beat or scold her, Rin remained submissive and unresponsive. She never spoke to the people in the village she was raised in, so the villagers often got frustrated with her strange behavior and acted harshly. She was so traumatized that she lost her voice and became a mute.

This plagued her with nightmares and a general fear of humans. Rin witnessed her parents and brothers being savagely murdered by bandits when she was still young. Rin as she appears in the manga Early life
