There's traces of information scattered in relation to ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' that could be associated with her. In the games data, there are two attack types: {{nihongo|Flower Sign|花符}} and {{nihongo|Wind Sign|風符}}. An alleged portrait of her (or an otherwise unknown character) appears on [[Team Shanghai Alice]]'s circle cut in the Comiket when ''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'' was first released (shown in the info box on the left). Additionally, shown in the data files by using a tool to rip graphics from the game, there is an unused character in the Stage 1 enemy sprites that looks much like the character in the portrait, although there's a possibility that this was originally going to be [[Rumia]]. | There's traces of information scattered in relation to ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' that could be associated with her.

Based on a remark by [[Marisa Kirisame]] in her [[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil: Marisa's Extra|Extra Stage]] <ref>''Maybe I shoulda said "nurse"?'' - Marisa, Extra Stage</ref>, Rin is theorized to be a nurse. 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. | Based on a remark by [[Marisa Kirisame]] in her [[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil: Marisa's Extra|Extra Stage]] <ref>''Maybe I shoulda said "nurse"?'' - Marisa, Extra Stage</ref>, Rin is theorized to be a nurse, but this is pure speculation.

Rin appears to wear a large | If the girl depicted in the [[Miscellaneous illustrations by ZUN#Circle Cut|circle cut]] ''is'' Rin Satsuki, then Rin appears to wear a large ribbon on her hair with cherry hair pins and a dress-like blouse. She holds an [[wikipedia:Erhu|erhu]] upside down and the colours are unknown because the circle cut is in monochrome. A recent Twitter post revealed the girl in the picture wasn't Rin Satsuki, and instead claimed it was a Team Shanghai Alice "poster girl".<ref>https://twitter.com/cynthia_koko/status/500621570050490369</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/cynthia_koko/status/500651130821431297</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/cynthia_koko/status/500628811478614019</ref> | ||
