Appearance
Kirin is a slight, athletic young woman with a youthful appearance. She has blue eyes and long brown hair tied back in twin tails. She wears the standard gold lined blue jacket of the royal military police.

Personality
Kirin laughs often and has unusual priorities regarding what she does and doesn’t take seriously. She often has a spaced, slow manner of speaking and gets lost in her thoughts. Kirin is vibrant and talkative. She doesn’t flaunt her prestigious background or status. Kirin has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of laws and regulations and pays close attention to making sure they are followed to the letter, though giving little thought to the intent or implications behind them. Kirin is sheltered and dislikes pain. Kirin gets bored by prolonged periods of stillness or inaction and has thrill seeking tendencies. She enjoys making trinkets and small works of art with her hands, takes dance lessons, and loves going to the theater.

Skills and Equipment
Kirin is one of the best sword fighters of her generation, graduating at the top of her class in the most prestigious martial academy in the nation. Kirin is exceptionally athletic even for a palace guard officer, and very fast. She has incredible dexterity and mechanical skill and excels in most things that involve working with hands. Kirin also has a very powerful memory, as she is capable of remembering almost all of the capital’s laws and recalling them when relevant. She wields Rubicon, the River Sword. It is a long, thin sword that leaves trails of metal wherever it slashes that remain suspended in the air. The sword is able to instantly relocate, taking its wielder with it, to anywhere the sword has left its streams. The sword can also remotely shatter its blade trials into petals that disperse at a high speed.

Chapter 8: The Tournament
Kirin and Aurora were in Perox to watch the jousting tournament. Upon being informed of the match fixing and witnessing the Vertebra family murder a contestant, Kirin uses Rubicon to draw a line around the jousting arena to prevent any of the undermen from escaping. She informs Aurora that she does not have the authority to grant royal peerage when she attempts to do so to Jatin and Nicole as thanks for aiding in their investigation.
