Inugami Rin

Inugami Rin (犬神りん) is a female independent Japanese VTuber. She is a cute Japanese high school student (joshi kōsei) who works part-time as a waitress/maid at Fuuka's Cafe (ふうかふぇ). She personally designed and rigged her own VTuber models.

Personality
Rin is a shy, friendly, and cheerful young girl with a calm soothing voice that heals your soul. She likes dogs, games, and drawing. She dislikes horror games but is willing to play them with her friends.

Rin has somewhat of a competitive personality, she mostly enjoys first-person shooter (FPS) titles such as PaperMan (ペーパーマン), A.V.A: Alliance of Valiant Arms, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, Overwatch, Apex Legends, Valorant, and Escape from Tarkov.

She likes to challenge herself even in story games. On Elden Ring, she would handicap her character by role-playing the entire game as the witcher Geralt.

Occasionally, Rin will have cozy and relaxing art streams where she draws fanart or learns how to rig her own Live2D models.

After taking a personality test, she revealed in a tweet that her personality type is ISFJ (also known as Defender).

Appearance
Rin is often seen wearing a maid costume as this is the official uniform for waitresses at Fuuka's Cafe.

Rin has sapphire blue eyes and long black hair. She wears a white ribbon headband with a blue gemstone to complete the maid outfit; but this does not prevent her bangs from sticking out the sides.

Rin is sometimes seen with a long ponytail when wearing her high school uniform.
