Rinemu Kirari (
Summary[]
Rinemu is a ninth type Quasi-Spirit who is aided in her desire to regain the position of Dominion by Kurumi and Hibiki. She later becomes co-Dominion to Mizuha Banouin, and acts as her tutor, ruling over Yesod alongside her.
Appearance[]
Rinemu is a Quasi-Spirit with long golden blond hair and purple colored eyes. She has ample charm, and her appearance is complimented by the bright, excited demeanor she often exudes. She wears an idol stage dress with a yellow, orange, and white color scheme. The dress exposes her midriff, and she tops off the look with black boots and a crown fascinator that she wears tilted to the left on her head.
Personality[]
While she was the Dominion and the top idol of Yesod, Rinemu was very confident about herself, although that fame quickly got to her head and caused her to think nothing of her staff and fans. After losing her ability to sing, Rinemu became prone to great mood swings. She could quickly switch from being very brash and confident to falling into deep depression. However, her coming into contact with another one of the 9th Spirit's memories made her remember and appreciate the fans who have been supporting her.
As a lovely genre idol, she is spontaneous, often making herself look foolish and unreliable, especially when compared to her later co-Dominion Mizuha. She often blurts out impolite comments about others in front of the person. But even with that loud personality, she is perceptive of others and has a strong intuition of when someone is lying to her.
Although she is the most famous idol in Yesod, earning her position as Dominion, Rinemu hates the managing aspects of the job and would rather focus on being an idol. After her comeback concert, Rinemu declared that Mizuha keep the position as Dominion to handle the troublesome work of governing the region. This attitude would eventually go so far as to leave the Neighboring World entirely for the real world in the end. Nevertheless, Rinemu stated that this change was decided because she worried that she and Mizuha were stagnating as idols in Yesod, thus showcasing an acknowledgment that a change in environment was needed for further growth.
History[]
Background[]
Like most Quasi-Spirits, Rinemu only has a faint recollection of her past life in the human world. However, she believed that she was always the type to be a school idol. Upon arriving at the Neighboring World, due to being the most skilled idol, Rinemu was chosen to be the Dominion of the Ninth Region Yesod. However, due to an accident during a Compile in Yesod, she came in contact with one of Miku's traumatic memories, losing her ability to sing in the process. Consequently, the loss of her singing voice meant she couldn't perform as an idol anymore, leading her to be replaced as Dominion by Mizuha Banouin.

Weapon: Microphone Stand
Rinemu has a strong sense of intuition that allows her to see through people's lies and sense coming troubles in her region. She can make profiles through the facades of other Dominions, although she's not sure of the accuracy since her guess is acting on a hunch. While Rinemu is under the assumption that this is just her intuition, Maya Yukishiro, the Dominion of Chokmah, deduced this ability is related to sound. As a 9th-type Quasi-Spirit, Rinemu's hearing ability is far beyond many Quasi-Spirits. Using that talent, she can detect minute changes in heartbeat or movement, and then instinctively translate it like a living polygraph.
Her hearing is so excellent that Rinemu can accurately pinpoint the locations of the special five White Queen clones entrusted with the Eighth Scorpion Bullet Het Akrab through sound alone. This is especially praiseworthy, as she did so while filtering out all the other noises disseminated throughout the chaotic battlefield.
However, due to her fear and distaste for combat, Rinemu has virtually no fighting ability. While she could theoretically use <Amadeus> to paralyze her opponents through sound waves, her microphone has only been used as a personal tool to amplify her singing voice during a concert.
Quotes[]
- (To Mayuka Momozono) “Ah~, really. I really want to sing, but when I sing I want to vomit. An idol singing while vomiting would be a novelty, but it's a novelty that no one would follow!” [1]
- (To Kurumi Tokisaki) “That's right, my stature is no better than an amateur... I am a water flea... toilet paper...” [2]
- (To Mizuha Banouin) “One day, you might also want to leave the Ninth Region and embark on a journey. When that moment comes, you don't have to be afraid because I'm going to have an early start. If we may meet in a certain region, let's form a two-man group. Because you're my most important... fan, idol, and kouhai.” [3]
Trivia[]
- Amadeus is a reference to the middle name of the famous classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
