RINKA
A member of the Tsugidoka crew, Rinka is the cheerful plantmancer, channeling her strength through her fan and making flowers bloom. Ever the optimist, she loves many things- including but not limited to her friends, her older brother Taiga, and GITADORA mascot Nyaguwa. With her Love Profusion ability, she sets out with the crew to solve the Pop-kun mystery, making Lapistoria bloom as well!
In this game, she wields the pink heart lapis.
Realize Maze by movies (moimoi×Xceon×Dai.) is her song.
IN THE STORY
After arriving in Lapistoria, Rinka begins to feel that she has a stalker, confiding in this to Retsu and gaining his aid. Later finding out that it was just Taiga, she purifies his lapis and all's well for a bit as she shows up in places throughout the story. Most importantly, she accompanies Retsu in confronting Jadeite when the time comes; but after that's resolved, she suddenly goes missing...
Honestly, she's not the most relevant after she's found (and when she is, Hiumi loses her purification ability so Rinka carries the brunt of purification for her), but by merit of being Tsugidoka she's present for the story's climax.

TRIVIA
- Rinka's birthday is on March 31st.
- The pink heart lapis is shared with Minit's. Rinka is the only Tsugidoka member to share her lapis with a non crossover or 2P character.
- In her 2P palette, Rinka wields the green heart lapis. She has a song associated with this palette: 曼珠沙華 by 96.
- The rest of the Tsugidoka crew appears in her FEVER and Win animations, and Taiga appears in her FEVER Win animation if he's unlocked. If he's not unlocked, only the Win animation will play regardless of if your Groove Gauge is full or not. The non-Lapistoria character(s?) Genes appears in her Lose animation; those are the weird flowers.
- Playing as or against Rinka will yield heart effects in the background.
- The name for her purification ability is derived from her Sunny Park song title.
- Rinka's Twitter kaomoji was ✿σ▽σ) when Lapistoria was active. She announced the news from September 10th, 2014, to October 2nd, 2014. Some of her tweets have stars at the end of them...!
- The kanji forming Rinka's name (鈴花) can translate to bellflower; the second character is also the kanji for flower.
WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS
When I first made this site, I didn't really think all that much about Rinka. But, like... something clearly changed within me, because now she's my favorite in the whole crew. They just kept putting her in situations in this game! I keep putting her in situations NOW! I start one ship with little to no canon basis (it's with Nia. By the way) and it's all over for me! How does that even happen as intensely as it does?!
Well, that aside...
- I wasn't sure how to translate her ability, so I hope Love Profusion works.
- I don't think Nyaguwa is real.
- I think this girl is a lesbian.
