Rin Satsuki in the code.
Rin was the third playable character of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil who was cut during production but still managed to leave a trace in the source code. If you do a text search of the EoSD data files, you can find the name "冴月麟" (Satsuki Rin) near the other playable characters. Associated with her are the attack types 花符 (Flower Sign) and 風符 (Wind Sign). An alleged portrait of her (or an otherwise unknown character) appears on Team Shanghai Alice's circle ad in the Comiket when EoSD was first released.
Fun Facts
- Her name Rin (麟) stands for the mythological creature Kirin, prompting some to believe that she was supposed to be a personification of a kirin. This is supported by the fact that by the Japanese name order, her name is "Satsuki Rin."
- Based on a remark by Marisa in her Extra Stage, Rin is theorized to be a nurse, but this is pure speculation. However, in modern Japanese popular culture, the kirin is often conflated with the unicorn (cf. Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter), which has healing powers; this would suggest a connection between kirin and nurses.
- Different fan interpretations of her appearance exist in addition to the circle cut, such as this and this. More canonically faithful depictions (if we accept the circle cut as a canonical depiction of Rin) include this and this (the latter originally Nwbi at MoTK).
