Personality

rintaun generally acts rather happy on the internet, often using many emoticons, such as "XD", ":D", "D:", "^_^", and "@_@", just to name a few. This probably contributes to many people mistaking his gender for female or simply being completely unsure what his gender is.

Personality

Contrary to how he may act online, rintaun in real life has suffered for many years from severe depression. To compensate for this, he tends to pick up many hobbies, completely immersing himself in one until he can't bring himself to do it anymore, at which point he switches to another.

Not on the first date.

Future

rintaun plans to attend a university with a dual major in Computer Science and Linguistics, and would like to get his PhD in the latter field. Once he has graduated, he hopes to develop computer translation and other artificial intelligence applications.
