Rinoa is a 21-year-old university student, part-time comic book retailer and English-language tutor living in the Southern part of the world's only island continent. She is currently undertaking a double-degree in Teaching and Arts, majoring in Japanese and English Literature with a background in Linguistics.
Rinoa's life plans eventually lead her out of the country and living overseas, either in Japan or Korea (or perhaps a little of both). Despite being a Teaching undergraduate, she's not sure if she actually wants to teach, or if she wants to be a translator, instead. Either way, she wants to be involved in language somehow.
Born on Pocky/Pepero Day in the year of the Fire Tiger, Rinoa is a Scorpio with blood type A, a sensitive, natural-born leader who is however prone to explosion when she gets really mad. She is bisexual and believes in faith moreso than religion, although she's best described herself as following a pagan/Wiccan path.
A self-confessed computer nut, Rinoa discovered her first PC at four and hasn't looked back since. Equally happy with PC or Apple, she currently owns an Acer laptop that travels everywhere she does. She has been an active participant of the Interwebs since its release to the general masses, although she was bounded by dial-up speeds until about a year ago, when she finally acquired DSL and the many joys that come along hand in hand with it. She has been blogging for five years and has owned websites for four, although her first efforts at web design were nowhere near stellar.
Rinoa is possibly clinically insane, although no research currently exists to prove or disprove this theory.
She is also the only Weapon more powerful than Omega.
