Nerine Forbesii, or
Rin, is a character from the visual novel/anime series
Shuffle!. She is from the demon world and attends Verbana Academy. She became one of the prime marriage candidates for Rin Tsuchimi, the lead male character in the series. While her cooking skills are poor, her magic capabilities are impressive, with enough destructive power to level entire city blocks. Her grades in school are also excellent.
While Nerine's nickname, Rin, and Rin Tsuchimi's given name are the same, the two are generally differentiated by the honorific titles they are addressed by. Nerine is referred to as Rin-
chan, while Tsuchimi is addressed as either Rin-
kun, Rin-
sama, or Rin-
dono. However, Tsuchimi is also called Rin-
chan by some, such as Asa, so context is the most important factor.
Nerine is named after the
Nerine samiensis, also known as the diamond lily, a species of flower bearing plants of the
Nerine genus native to South Africa. In
hanakotoba, (the Japanese language of flowers), this flower has connotations of "happy memories".
In the normal timeline, Nerine is the daughter of Forbesii and Sage. However, if the alternate timeline is caused in
Tick! Tack!, her mother is Ai. The alternate Nerine has reddish hair and an opposite personality to that of the normal Nerine. In both timelines, she is also Cineraria and Eustoma's niece and Lisianthus's cousin.
Nerine is voiced by Haruka Nagami and was designed by Hiro Suzuhira. She is voiced by Caitlin Glass in the English version of the anime.
