Hi! I made this drawing as part of the Medieval Marauders fanzine #onceuponatime_artcollab . Go check out the hashtag to see the rest of the wonderful works from all the participating artists:

yeah that’s nice’ to 'i hate it’

so vicerally

Rin being a plot device, she doesn’t get much of anything in terms of development in the series. But the fandom has found many interesting interpretations about her that I really like exploring, so I wanted to add mine (I have already drawn some ideas on this post and this post).

My version of Rin is sort of similar to Obito's version of her but toned down, in the sense that she is kind and supportive but she is much more passive about it. She does genuinely care about the people in her life and constantly supports them (like she did with Obito), but she never actually does anything impactful outfront. She’s quite passive, she’s a bit distant despite loving her team deeply, like Minato. For example, her attempts to break off Kakashi and Obito’s arguments do feel a bit half-hearted. It’s true that it’s not her job to make them be friendly with each other, and she does get pissed with all their nonsense in the end, but she doesn’t reach out much and keeps herself to the sidelines with Minato. In a similar vein, she actively avoided topics that would make Obito understand Kakashi better, she kept quiet about Kakashi’s father for years instead of encouraging Obito to ask him about it.

Outside her close circle she is not as altruistic as Obito is, but the hardships of war have made her sympathetic towards the hurt and lost, which is why I think she chose to become a shinobi healer despite being from a civilian family. But war has also made her resilient, and not always in a good way. However she may feel about it, she is quick to accept the cruel reality (like when she accepted quickly in Kannabi that Obito was going to die and his final wish) instead of trying to change it or rebelling against it. As a result, she does not bat an eye to gruesome deaths or Konoha’s misgivings, she just keeps going forward. In fact, she may be just as indoctrinated as Kakashi is, which is why the only time she actually does anything to change her situation is when the threat of the Sanbi becomes too great.
