Description
Rinko Shirokane completes the lineup as Roselia's keyboardist. She attended Hanasakigawa Girls' High School, serving as student council president, and now studies piano as a first-year in the Faculty of Arts, Music Department at Yotsuba Women's University. Her theme color is gray (#a9b3b3).
She has long black hair styled in a loose hime cut, featuring heavy bangs and straightened sidelocks extending past her shoulders. Her large violet eyes are distinctly slanted. Rinko favors modest, neutral-toned clothing with frilly details, typically seen in a white buttoned blouse with ruffled sleeves, a frilly collar tied by a black ribbon, and a black knee-length skirt fastened with gold buttons.
Profoundly shy and socially anxious, Rinko initially struggled to speak publicly or perform live due to severe stage fright. This stemmed from childhood trauma: after starting piano lessons at age five and winning multiple competitions, stage fright caused her to fail a major contest, leading her to abandon competitive performance. She often stammers, withdraws, and remains quiet until comfortable. Despite this, she displays intense passion and conviction for her interests like music and online gaming, becoming notably animated when discussing them. She is highly pessimistic and easily discouraged.
Her development focuses on overcoming these challenges. Through Roselia, she gradually gains confidence, eventually performing successfully in live concerts for the first time since childhood. She designs all the band's costumes, personally sewing their outfits, though she becomes embarrassed during close-fitting adjustments like waist resizing.
Her hobbies include reading (she frequents used bookstores), solving crossword puzzles, and playing the online game Neo Fantasy Online (NFO). In NFO, she uses the handle "RinRin" and mains a Fire Wizard. Online, her communication starkly contrasts with her real-life shyness; she types rapidly and uses abundant kaomojis. It was through NFO that she met her closest friend, Ako Udagawa, who affectionately calls her "Rin-rin". Their bond is prominent, with Rinko often flustered by Ako's physical affection like hugs or hand-holding. She also shares a significant past with Rui Yashio; their families were close, and they competed together in childhood piano competitions. Though they grew apart, Rui played a pivotal role in rekindling Rinko's love for piano.
Additional details include her birthday (October 17), height (157 cm), preference for warm milk, dislike of celery, and aversion to horror genres. Her name, Shirokane (白金), translates to "platinum" ("white metal"), while Rinko (燐子) combines "rin" (磷, "phosphorus" or "light-bearer") and "ko" (子, "child"). She is sometimes called the "Unmovable Master".
