Rina Tomonaga



Rina Tomonaga is a teenager from the real world who accidentally gets into Cross Academy, merging both the Vampire Knight manga world and the real world together. She has non-powers, such as being able to tell when someone is lying and changing her hair and eye color. She is the main and title character of the fanfiction, Rina Tomonaga, created by LunaBell08.

Biography
Rina seems to have a complicated situation in her life. She is actually the reincarnation of Lina, who was known as a creature or goddess of Light and became the guardian of daytime and life. Lina has a brother named Raidon. Rina is only vaguely aware of her situation, but has found that both Lina and Raidon were not only lovers, but the "Adam and Eve" of the world.

Rina's day of birth is not specified in the fanfiction, since dates in the manga are not specified either, but it is, however, close to the month of winter and happened to land on the date of Cross Academy's annual social ball. She has a half brother named Zephyr Nakamura, because a situation with her father and mother ended tragically. Her biological father was visiting the town, her mother, Julie Takeyama, was currently living in for buisness and sparks flew from when he first saw her. From what we have gathered from Rina's attitude towards him though, was that he was a "cunning, lying, and heartless prick". It turns out that her father was already engaged to a woman named Zafrina Nakamura back in Japan and was having a shamless affair that Julie was unaware of.

It was when Julie became pregnant with Rina did she finally figure out that she was a toy in the man's life. After telling him, he blew up and refused to believe that it was his child, saying that she had an affair and that it couldn't possibly be. During denial, he finally told (yelled) her that she was a mere source of entertainment and that he was to be married next month to his fiance. Julie, refusing to let him ruin her life, promised to raise her child with all the love and care a child needs. She went along with the birth with the help of her best friend.

Rina's birth was complicated though. Not only was she born at a mere 24 weeks old, which resulted in her rare blood disease, she was also born on the same day, in the same hospital, around the same time her half brother, Zephyr, was being born, for Zafrina was giving birth in the next room. Zephyr was only twenty minutes older than Rina, resulting in the two becoming very close and even refering to each other as twins. Their father, on the other hand, became so enraged and panicked at how his fiancee and ex-lover met, he went crazy and was committed to a mental instituion. This left his younger brother in charge of the company he owned and what both Julie and Rina call, "Karma."

When asked about how she will react to her fiancee's loyalty, Zafrina merley laughs and says, "It's only because of our parents and his money do I care to be with him." Showing that she was a gold-digger. Zafrina also holds a nasty attitude towards Julie and Rina, but loves her son dearly. She is only mentioned in the story when Zephyr says that she had become stricken with a life-threatening illness. Julie had married her best friend who had helped her through the hard times, in which Rina refers to him as her biological father and refuses to acknowledge that "the other man" was.

Even though Rina grew up happy (and referred to herself as spoiled), she was very naive and highly dependent on her brother. Durring Christmas break when she was 12, Rina was staying with Akuro in America and begged her parents to come visit for her birthday (a date her father had changed so that there were no problems at school with both Rina and Zephyr). This ended in tragedy, with her parents dying in a plane crash due to the pilot being carelessly high on cocain. Zephyr even disappeared shortly afterwards without a word, and it is still unknown as to why.

This brought Rina to her breaking point, since she was forced to live with her Uncle Scott, Aunt Marie and their daughter of the same age Karen. She knew of their strong dislike for her mother, and brought those feelings down onto her. For almost two years, Rina prayed and waited by the door of her horrid home in hopes that Zephyr would come and take her away. After so long though, RIna had given up hope and replaced it with absolute hatred--also blocking him out of her life and refusing to believe she had a brother in the first place.

Durring the course of four years, Rina had learned that hard way how to take care of herself. Her naitivity in the beginning didn't help the situation though. In a desperate attempt to get her new family to like her, she signed up for a school looking for children with special psycological abilities because it would then bring her family to Florida--a place her aunt Marie had been begging to live, but was unable to afford. This only worsened the situation, for word had spread around her school and she became quite popular. Karen, in a fit of jealousy, paid the school bully to give Rina a "make-over" by trying to cut off her hair (Rina was a main target for bullying because she had unnaturally long hair) and beat her face into the ground. But after one punch in the face, Rina finally snapped and, unaware of her strength, nearly killed the student.

Having to move into a completly new state because of her, Rina was hated even more, but a chain of events occured afterwards. Rina found that she didn't have to be dependant on her brother, and she didn't have to get pushed around by Karen anymore. Recreating herself with new self-confidence and a new attitude, she put walls up and became the sarcastic, blunt and out-spoken girl she is today.

Cross Academy
During her reign of getting fed up with a bunch of lies from her friend Monica who only hung out with her because they were friends since they were younger, Rina is given an unexpected surprise when she finds out that she's getting sent to a boarding school called Cross Academy in Japan. It is unknown as to how the Fosters had gotten a hold of such a broshure, but because Scott had stated that "some nice young man gave it to [him] and said that it could be useful on day," guesses from readers are that it was either from Ichiru or Zephyr. Because Scott had never met Zephyr (nor is he aware of the boy's existance), Zephyr is one of the possibilities.

This is where things in Rina's life seem to change. First, she is mistaken as a vampire, despite her efforts to tell the chairman that she wasn't, and set into the Night Class because of her fangs. Though claiming to have gotten them professionally designed, we find out later that they were naturally grown and weren't fake at all. In fact, Rina's memory had been readjusted (We'll get on that later) to make her think that was how she had them. Second, Rina almost immediatly befriends Yuuki and makes enemies with Kaname and Zero, the latter claiming her to be "too obnoxious and highly annoying."

Throughout the events she lives through the manga, Rina finds that she has been replacing Yuuki in most of the scenes. One example of this is when Rina's blood disease begins to act up the same night Zero was suppossed to first attack Yuuki, but instead, Zero was drawn to Rina's blood and attacked her. Simultaniously, Kaname is explaining to the chairman how and why he recognizes Rina. His memories of her had begun to slowly come back, and he says that Rina is actually his little sister who had disappeared ten years before. She had also created, what they call a "Trueblood Bond" with Zero when they were children.

Zero, also regaining memories of Rina that night, later finds out that him and Rina had met before when they were younger. In fact, the night he met Rina was the night his family had a meeting with the Kurans before they died; with Rina being four and Zero just turning five. After meeting her, Rina tells him the story of how she is different from the rest of her family, explaining how her parents favor her sister over her and how she will never be able to know the concept of love. She then goes to tell Zero that his family was there to kill her, though she didn't know when. Though this wasn't true, Zero was taken by the girl's story and promised Rina that before anyone tried to kill her, he would take her away from that place and marry her himself. He promised to be single until that day had come.

With this new found knowledge, Zero suddenly has a change of attitude towards Rina, though the two consitantly fight and bicker. Rina is almost oblivious to this change behavior, only noticing that he had begun hovering over her like anything could break her. He doesn't know why, but he doesn't tell Rina any of this information at all.

Even though Rina doesn't know her feelings for Zero all yet, she allows him to drink her blood whenever he needs it, and even though he's reluctant at first, he accepts the offers and sometimes even encourages them.

Along with irritating, annoying, and giving off highly threatening hints about her knowledge of the future to the Night Class, Rina eventually forms bonds with the other characters she's read about. With Yuuki, Rina had managed to bring out the girl's hidden out-going and hard-headed nature. Kaien appreciates this, and thinks of Rina as a daughter as well because of her influence on Yuuki, saying that Yuuki had never got the time to have real girlfriends before and act like a normal teenager.

But the relationships don't stop there. With Rina's help, both Yori and Aidou had admitted their feelings to each other, with Aidou acknowledging the fact that the night class kind of scares Yori. Even Kaname, who holds a hatred and racial disgust for Rina, was still helped by the girl by making him remember that Yuuki is no longer a child and will not wait forever for him to make a move. This resulted in him explaining to Yuuki that he truley cares for her and wishes to know more about her, instead of just assuming everything will be alright. After certain events occur, Rina's best friend is finally introduced as a main side character, and Yuuki gets in on the knowledge of the world being a manga in Rina's life.

Rina finds that she is the reincarnation of the first "Vampyre" (Pronounced differently in every culture) named Lina, who had high-conflicts with her lover, Raidon, who had become power hungry after creating the living beings of the world. In order to understand what is going on around her, Rina reads the diary Lina had left behind. This diary is brought throughout most of the fanfiction, and tells of how different vampire legends, myths or not, came to be.

Rina is what the Vampire Knight world calls a "Trueblood", a vampire, or vampyre, so powerful that the entire race was hunted down because of Raidon's negative influence, hinting that Rina may be the last vampyre. He convinced both vampires and humans that Truebloods were much too dangerous because of their abilities and highly appetizing but poisonous blood. They had the ability to control other vampires to their will, much like Purebloods but their commands always pass through first. Truebloods are also known as the sisters to Level E's (for the Trueblood line is only genetic within females), so much so that Level E's are automatically at their command no matter who their original master is. They even have an ancient language that cannot be understood by any other outsider.

As more time went by, things slowly began to take turns for the worse and confusion. When Rina's half twin brother, Zephyr, suddenly reappears at Cross Academy after four years of abandoning her, Rina later reveals her new found hatred for him in front of him, telling him that she will no longer call him her brother, blood related or not, and he was dead to her, telling Zephyr that Rina was no longer the Rina he once knew. Although she was crying in front of him, Rina was satisfied that she talked out her troubles out loud to someone she hated. Zero also began to notice after he overheared Rina's speech to Zephyr that Rina has the habit of avoiding anything that's related to her past, but Yuuki found out of that when Rina refused to speak of her past to her by saying that the past wasn't something for her to deal with, and that was something Rina learned to do all her life.

Although Rina was back to her normal self the next day, Rina still refused to let Zephyr explain himself, but to her dismay, he continued to call her 'Rin-Rin,' the nickname she was called by when she was a child, but after Zephyr left, she refused to be called by that name. Then later to Rina's horror, Zephyr, who became a Night Class student, and Aido Hanabusa from the Night Class became friends, and the two boys managed to get Rina, Yuuki, and Akuro into the Moon Dorm. Zephyr did this to get 'revenge' by making the other Day Class girls really jealous of her. However Zero managed to get the three girls out, while Rina felt an aura of jealousy coming from Zero.

Then a few days later, Maria/Shizuka arrives at Cross Academy, and as Rina gives her a tour around the academy, she quickly befriends Maria/Shizuka, and Maria/Shizuka even found Rina scary when she gets angry, which she found out after Zephyr once again tried to talk to Rina.

Rina then began to avoid Zero after he told her to stay away from Maria/Shizuka, which Rina knew was because he felt uneasy around the new student because he sensed that Maria had a relation to Shizuka. Rina was avoiding Zero because she knew that he knew that Rina knew something that he didn't, and Rina didn't want to see his reaction if she did tell him the full truth.

When Rina, Yuuki, and Akuro go to the masquerade ball Rina planned, she wears the dress Zephyr bought for her, but only did so because Yuuki wanted her to, and wore the mask Zero got her, and she dances with Zero during the ball. Meanwhile Yuuki strikes a deal with Maria/Shizuka to either bring the corpse of Kaname or bring Rina with her and be hers if Maria/Shizuka saved Zero and Rina. Yuuki decides to bring Rina with her to become custody of Maria/Shizuka.

While dancing with Zero, Zero unexpectedly tells Rina that he's falling for her, which ended with Rina running away because she was once again confused with her feelings for Zero. After Yuuki finds her, Rina agrees to come with Yuuki to Maria/Shizuka, Akuro coming with them. However while on their way there, Akuro disappears, annoying both Rina and Yuuki. There, after Shizuka's real body awakens, Rina decides to let Shizuka drink her blood so she could save Zero from becoming a Level E, but when Zero tries to interfere, Rina tries to convince him to let Shizuka drink her blood, and become a vampire while Yuuki held him back. Zero refuses when Shizuka tells Zero that Rina has an importance to her, which horrifies Rina and Zero. Then when Zero tries to attack, Rina, under Shizuka's command, uses her Trueblood powers to stop Zero, where she realizes that one of her ablities as a Trueblood is to control a vampire. When Ichiru Kiryuu appears, Yuuki finds out that the Rina in Zero's past was Ichiru's fiancee until she sealed a contract with Zero. After that Shizuka and Rina disappear to the room Shizuka was going to die in, but Shizuka told Rina she knew she was going to die by Kaname's hand, but didn't want to. Shizuka then tells Rina half of her true nature, and why Zephyr left her alone for the past four years, because when Rina came back to the Vampire Knight universe in her six-year-old body after the death of her parents and after many years of her disappearance, she only stayed for a little while because so she wouldn't have to live in that universe, Zephyr decided to take her place, causing Rina to feel guilty for hating him. Then Shizuka lets a possessed Rina rip out her heart and devour it, causing the smell of blood to linger around. Realizing what she did, Rina watches in horror as Shizuka begs her to take care of her 'baby girl' before she dies. When Rina sees Shizuka's memories, she realized that Shizuka and her deceased lover had a daughter before she went insane, and Rina realized that the baby Shizuka gave birth to had Akuro's red eyes and black hair, making Rina realize that Shizuka is Akuro's mother, which greatly horrifies her.

After Kaname and Zephyr found her, Zephyr takes her to the chairman's bathroom, while Kaname stood in the room in shock. The lifeless looking Rina went into a mental breakdown as Zephyr brought her to the bathroom. There Rina calls him 'Onii-sama' (Big Brother), and he stayed with her until he had to leave. Zero then finds the still lifeless looking Rina, and when he asked her what happened, Rina once again loses her sanity that she killed someone and devoured her heart. Zero manages to calm her down, but after that Rina begins to avoid the subject.

Determined of protecting Rina, Zero vows that the Vampire Council won't find out of Rina murdering a Pureblood, even though Rina continued to avoid telling Yuuki, Akuro, and the chairman what happened. Akuro then decides to skip the rest of class so she could help Rina, and manages to help Rina get the heavy pressure off her chest.

Rina is also unaware that she is a member of the Kuran family, Yuuki's twin sister, and she disappeared ten years ago. This was mentioned throughout the fanfiction, but it is unknown when Rina will find out, when she will regain her memories, or how she will react.

Now that the story is on hold, it is unknown what else will happen to Rina.

Abilities
At a young age, Rina's parents had been teaching her how to access the large portion of her brain that normal humans don't access as they get older. This gives her psycological abilities such as detecting the truths behind a lie and changing the colors of her eyes. Because she is also very scatter-brained, most of her abilities do not last very long.

At the point she is at right now, her abilities can only stretch to a very minor mind-controlling trick that only works at night and she must be in contact with whomever she needs to control, so it is not used or practiced very often. Her eyes had become an issue though, since her natural eye color is reversed (the body of her eyes are black while her irises are white).

It is hinted, however durring chapters 19-24 that they began changing colors mirroring her emotions. It has also been seen that with powerful deeds, such as giving a Level E vampire mercy or killing someone, a black or white ring either shrinks or widens her irises. As of right now, her normal emerald green color has been a constant and she is unable to switch it. As for lying, Rina trained herself to literally hear what someone really means when they lie to her.

Personality
When Rina was Rina Kuran, she was a very quiet and shy little girl, though this wasn't her choice, but she is very lonely and unhappy. Rina seemed to hold a strong hatred for her parents (Haruka and Juri Kuran) because of how they favor her twin sister (Yuuki) over her, and how they never let her see her older brother (Kaname) like her sister does. Rina seeked comfort with her pet wolf, Zakari, who was her twin half brother Zephyr Nakamura in his wolf form, who also seemed to hate Rina's parents too. Rina seemed to only get along with her twin sister, because of how she drew a picture of her, Zakari, and her twin sister outside. However Rina is very kind and gentle at heart, and understands what others are going through, and is even patient and is mostly calm. Rina may have had some of Lina's personality when she was a Kuran, as she is also wise beyond her years, though it isn't entirely revealed. She also seemed to fall in love with Zero Kiryuu when she first met him, as he promised her when they first met that he will marry her when they were older before "anyone could kill her", creating their Trueblood bond with each other, though Rina doesn't remember this after she is reborn in the real reality as Rina Tomonaga.

Rina may have still had some of her personality as a Kuran before she was forced to live with her horrid aunt, uncle, and cousin, who all hated her mother, Julie Takeyama, but became a pure and innocent girl who was still lonely and unhappy since she was bullied in school because of her unnaturally long hair and her "creepy" eyes. Rina often got depressed at times because of her blood disease, and even hated people who would live longer than her, as doctors told her that she will die young from the 'inhuman' disease, when Rina was unaware that was the nature of a Trueblood. This condition made her in the physical and mentally broken girl she still is today.

After she is forced to live with her aunt, uncle, and cousin, Rina slowly began to lose her innocent and gentle nature, recreating herself into the sarcastic, blunt, and out-spoken girl she is today, and she also uses it as a facade to hide her physical and mentally broken form. However her broken side became known to Zero also he noticed the scars she got from fights when she was little all over her body. Since she is foul with her language, Lina sometimes tells her to watch her language in a motherly manner, much to Rina's annoyance. When necessary however, and when it comes to Akuro cauing trouble, Rina's serious and mature side will take over and she will once again become wise beyond her years. Also since she never talks much about herself or her past (as she doesn't want to remember it), she can be referred as "mysterious". Despite her harsh years and attitude, Rina still remains her caring and helpful self, and many of her previous personalities take her over, like when she uses her personality as Rina Kuran on Zero at times. Rina may have her Kuran personality within, though it is not revealed if this will resurface for good in the future if she regains her memories as Rina Kuran.

Akuro Hachirobei
"As the duty of your bestest friend in the whole entire universe, I, Rina Tomonaga, vow to help you, Akuro Hachirobei, look for your biological parents!"--Rina to Akuro

Rina's best friend from childhood; when they first met, Akuro tried to kill Rina for having a penny in her hand as it was just the night before that Akuro had a nightmare over the penny, thus creating her natural fear of pennies. The two got very close since then and pretty much saw each other as sisters. Rina is shown to be a bit jealous of how Nadeshiko is really close to Akuro and Akuro is shown to be jealous of Yuuki because of her friendship with Rina, though she never shows it. Once, Akuro kissed Rina, though not romantically but because she was bored. Quite often, she sexually harasses Rina and makes remarks about her, much to Rina's embarrassment.

Sometimes Rina gets embarrassed for Akuro, since Akuro shows no shame or embarrassment by her actions, such as shouting out questions in public and flirting with her teacher, Yagari. Even though Rina finds her extremely annoying and scolds her for her foolishness at times, the two are still very close and care a lot about each other, even if they don't show it often. Rina even once promised Akuro when they were both nine to help her find her biological parents, as Akuro was adopted when she was really young, however she is unaware that Shizuka Hio is her birth mother, but it is unknown when Akuro will find out, or how she will react if she found out.

Akuro trusts Rina more than anyone in the world, even more than Nadeshiko, and Akuro is the one who Rina got her hatred for Kaname from.

Yuuki Cross/Kuran
Yuuki is one of Rina's closest friends; Rina became friends with Yuuki almost immediately when she came to Cross Academy and found herself replacing Yuuki many times in the manga, like when Zero attacked her instead of Yuuki.

Yuuki and Rina deeply care about each other, like when Yuuki found Rina replacing bandages on her hands from her blood disease, worrying her, but so she wouldn't worry her further, Rina lies to Yuuki that it was nothing serious, when it actually was. Also Rina and Yuuki are unaware that they're both twin sisters, but it is possible that they may find out in the future.

When Yuuki found out of how Rina was getting her knowledge, Yuuki, Rina, and Rina's childhood friend, Akuro, keep the truth a secret from the others, though the three girls plan what they need to do to prevent a terrible event from happening. Yuuki also sometimes can get annoyed by Rina and Akuro's childish behaviors, but she still remains very close to Rina, making Akuro jealous, but she never shows it.

When Rina killed Shizuka Hio, Yuuki took notes for Rina and worried about her, since she went into a mental breakdown after killing Shizuka, who both Yuuki and Akuro are unaware Shizuka is Akuro's birth mother.

When Yuuki and Rina were Kurans, they seemed to be very close, but Rina seemed to hold a high jealousy of Yuuki, because of how their parents, Haruka and Juri, only let Yuuki see Kaname when he comes back to the Kuran mansion, and Yuuki received gifts from him and Rina didn't. Rina thought her parents didn't love her, but they did and were only hiding her in the mansion to protect her after they found out she was a Trueblood. Yuuki seemed to have felt guilty for Rina's suffering, and possibly questioned why her parents never paid attention to Rina as well.

It is unknown what else will happen between Yuuki and Rina since the story is now on hold.

Zero Kiryuu
"I think I may be in love with you..."--Zero to Rina

Main Article: Rina Tomonaga and Zero Kiryuu 

Rina's love interest; Zero and Rina's relationship took off with a rocky start. When Rina first came to Cross Academy, Zero hated her when she was mistaked as a vampire because of her fake vampire fangs. He also found her annoying because of her childish personality. Rina also didn't like Zero because of the way he was cold to Yuuki, and one day when she scolded him for glaring at Yuuki, he recognized her eyes when they changed color (black and white) that he saw those eyes before but didn't remember when he saw them.

Then on the night Zero was supposed to attack Yuuki, Rina was near death because her disease began to act up, and Zero was drawn to her blood and attacked her instead. At that point after, Zero remembered that he met Rina when he was a child before his parents were killed. Rina tells him that her parents chose her sister over her, and the reason his parents were there at her home were to kill her, but she didn't know when. That wasn't really the truth, because her parents actually called Zero's parents over to their house so they could save her life after they found out she was a Trueblood. Zero than made a promise to Rina that when they got older, he would take her away and marry her himself, therefore creating a "Trueblood bond" between them.

After that day, Zero than began to act different towards Rina, even though they continue to have arguments, which at first confuses Rina, since she knew he never acted like this to Yuuki in the manga. Rina was also confused of how protective Zero got of her, as if she was a fragile person, and later found out that she made a promise to Zero when she was a child, though she doesn't remember herself, which made her question how that was possible. Though she didn't know her feelings for Zero, she allowed him to drink her blood whenever he needed it, even though he was reluctant at first, he did accept the offers.

When they continued to get closer and closer, Rina continues to get increasingly confused with her feelings, and kept getting questions from Yuuki and her childhood friend, Akuro, about what she feels about Zero, only for Rina to say 'I don't know', and avoid the rest of the subject.

When Rina's twin half-brother, Zephyr, reappears at Cross Academy after four years of abandoning her, and therefore triggering Rina's breaking point in front of him, Zero felt Rina's pure hatred for Zephyr, and was shocked when Akuro revealed to everyone that he was related to her, but later learns that Rina has the habit of avoiding anything that's related to her past, which was a thing that she learned to do all her life.

In the next chapters, Rina learns that Zero can get jealous of boys who try to flirt with Rina or ask her out, since he gave a boy named Aoi a death glare when he tried to ask Rina out to an upcoming masquerade ball (one that Rina planned), and at Zephyr when he was 'being near her and touching her', when Zephyr was trying to reason with her with why he left her alone for the past four years.

After Shizuka/Maria arrives at Cross Academy, Zero began to tell Rina to stay away from her, which Rina knew it was because Maria (possessed by Shizuka) made Zero feel uneasy and feel like Maria was somehow related to Shizuka. Then over the next few days after Maria/Shizuka arriving, Rina began to avoid Zero, since he knew that she knew something that he didn't, and Rina didn't want to see his reaction if she did tell him the truth. At the masquerade ball, Rina wears the dress Zephyr bought her, but only did so because Yuuki wanted her to, despite her protests, and wore the mask Zero bought her. When Zero unexpectedly tells Rina that he found himself falling for her, Rina runs off, once again confused with her feelings for him.

When Yuuki agrees to bring Rina to Maria/Shizuka, Rina accepts the deal to have Shizuka drink her blood in order to save Zero from becoming a Level E, but when Zero tries to interfere, Rina tries to convince him to let her do it while Yuuki held him back, but Zero refuses when Shizuka tells him that Rina has an importance to her, which horrifies Rina and Zero. Then when Zero tries to attack, Rina, under Shizuka's command, uses her Trueblood powers to stop Zero. When Ichiru Kiryuu appears, Shizuka later flees the scene, and Rina follows her, where Shizuka tells her she knew she was going to die by Kaname's hand, but didn't want to. After their conversation, and after a possessed Rina rips out Shizuka's heart and devours it, the smell of blood begins to linger around, and Ichiru flees to find Shizuka, with Zero realizing that Rina disappeared as well, and also runs off to find her.

Realizing what she did, Rina watches in horror as Shizuka begs her to take care of her 'baby girl', before she dies. After she sees Shizuka's memories, Rina realized that she killed Akuro's mother, which greatly horrifies her and makes her lose her sanity for a little bit, also realizing why she did kill Shizuka was so she could save Zero now that she has Shizuka's heart and blood inside her body. After Zero finds her in the chairman's bathroom (since Zephyr took her there after finding her), Rina once again goes insane that she killed someone, though Zero manages to calm her down, but after that Rina avoids the subject of what happened.

Determined of protecting Rina, Zero vows that the Vampire Council won't find out of Rina murdering a Pureblood, but Rina continues to avoid telling Yuuki, the Chairman, and Akuro what happened. However when Akuro sneeks in, she helps Rina get the pressure off her chest.

Since the story is on hold, it is unknown what else will happen between Zero and Rina.

Kaname Kuran
''"Rina has been someone I've been looking for, for a long time. Those two girls are the only ones in this world, who are important to me." --''Kaname to Aido

Kaname Kuran is Rina's older brother and ancestor. When Rina was a Kuran, she seemed to have been in love with Kaname, but since Haruka and Juri never let her see him just as they let Yuuki, she seemed to start hating him (as he said in the story that even without her memories she still treated him the same). However Kaname knew she was a Trueblood, and he doesn't tell this information to Rina or Yuuki at all. After Rina disappeared, Kaname lost his memories of Rina and he doesn't remember her until she comes to Cross Academy, now as Rina Tomonaga, which was after several days of her arrival.

When Rina became Rina Tomonaga, she no longer remembered being a member of the Kuran family, and when she started reading the Vampire Knight manga, she at first had a crush on Kaname until her best friend from childhood, Akuro Hachirobei showed her who he would soon become and she switched over to Zero. She hated him with passion when she arrived at Cross Academy that she began to insult him whenever she got the chance. At first Kaname let her, and when he finally remembered who she really was, he tells the Headmaster why he recognized her. Kaname is still trying to figure out how Rina became a seer when she lied about her knowledge about being one, since she wasn't like one when she was a child. One day Kaname even went far as to tell Aido Hanabusa that Rina and Yuuki were the only ones in the world who are important to him, hinting that Kaname deeply cares about Rina, even though she doesn't realize it.

However Kaname doesn't care about Rina's choices, like when she decides to do the forbidden act in Yuuki's place to offer her blood to Zero. At first he wasn't happy about it, but he comes to not care, and when Zero and Rina make their decision to make their Trueblood bond even stronger, Kaname was visibly disappointed, hinting that he still cares about her, even though he holds his own hatred for her, which Rina is glad about.

When Rina came back to Cross Academy from her vacation with Yuuki, Akuro, Zero, and Yagari, Kaname noticed that Yuuki was acting different (when Rina accidently brought out her hidden on-going and hard-headed nature) and wondered if Rina did something stupid, which he later confronts her about. Rina didn't tell him that she showed Yuuki that she's just a character in a book, or that she's the lost Kuran princess and Kaname's sister, but she told him that Yuuki is moving on and Kaname needed to show her that he did care about her before another man takes her. Kaname uses this information and tells Yuuki his feelings for her and asking for her forgiveness (as Rina told that Yuuki was a little mad at him, which he was unaware was because he was using people as his shields). Then a few nights later, Kaname later tells Zero that Rina will become Yuuki's shield in his place that night, for their relationship has grown and Zero chose to protect someone else (Rina), and he will allow both Zero and Rina to live, making Zero hate Kaname even more.

When the Social Masquerade Ball comes, which was also the night Kaname was going to kill Shizuka Hio, Kaname only arrived at the scene where he was going to kill Shizuka only to find a sight that seemed to have horrified him: Shizuka already dead and a blood-stained Rina next to her. Rina, in a state of shock and losing her mind, told him that she killed Akuro's mother, revealing that Akuro is a Pureblood vampire, also revealing to Kaname that Shizuka used Rina to keep him from having her.

Ichiru Kiryuu
"Everyone favored you. Mother, Father...even Rina, my own fiancee had chosen you over me."--Ichiru to Zero

Rina and Ichiru have no type of relationship as of yet, but Rina was once Ichiru's fiancee until she sealed a contract with Zero. He also is unaware at this point that Rina was the one who killed Shizuka Hio, since he blamed Zero and Cross Academy. Shizuka also told Rina when she still had her memories as Rina Kuran (though Shizuka didn't tell Rina she was a Kuran) and before she killed Zero and Ichiru's parents, Ichiru, in a rage of jealousy, practically ordered Shizuka to severe Zero's head so he could have Rina for himself, however finding out what Rina was and what happens when the Trueblood's mate dies, she spared Zero because of Rina, when in the manga Shizuka kept Zero alive because of Ichiru. It is therefore unknown if Ichiru knows that Rina is in Cross Academy or not.

Shizuka Hio
"Please...take care of my baby girl."--Shizuka's last words to Rina

Rina and Shizuka's relationship is more of a mystery, but Shizuka mentioned that she liked Rina more than Nadeshiko and Rina had an importance to her, which confused Rina since she didn't remember. Before her death by Rina's hand, Shizuka tells Rina half of her true nature as a being from her world and as the reincarnation of Lina, but in order for her to remember Shizuka must attack her. Shizuka also told Rina the true reason her half twin brother, Zephyr, left her alone for the past four years (two years for Zephyr), and why he didn't return to get her, which caused Rina to feel guilty for hating him. Shizuka then lets a possessed Rina rip out her heart and devour it, since she didn't want to die by Kaname's hand, and as her last wish she asked a horrified Rina to take care her 'baby girl' before she dies. After seeing her memories, Rina realized that Shizuka was her childhood friend, Akuro's birth mother, which greatly horrifies her and soon causes her to go into a mental breakdown.

Since the story is on hold, it is unknown what past relationship Rina had with Shizuka.

Family
Even with the Kuran family and her real world family, Rina had a estranged relationship with each of them (except her real world mother, Julie, and her step-father). When she was a Kuran, she had a love-hate realtionship with her parents (Haruka and Juri), older brother (Kaname), and seemingly her younger twin sister (Yuuki), because of how her parents and older brother neglected her to the extreme for twin, which seemed to make Rina go down to the point where she started hating them. She was never told the truth though about why they were doing so (Yuuki wasn't aware of this either), even though she and Yuuki overheard their parents arguing about Rina being a Trueblood one night (though they didn't say this). This made Rina misunderstand that her parents truly didn't love her and were finding a way to get rid of her, which she didn't find surprising, showing how she lost hope in them as well as her non-existing faith in life.

Though she was kept in the dark about who she really was and why they were hiding her, Rina became dense to the fact that her parents truly did love her, and they were hiding her more than Yuuki in order to protect her (possibly from Rido or the Vampire Council (or both)), but now that she was reaching the age to where her powers were activating, Rina remained unaware that her parents were going to set her up into an arranged marriage with the Kiryuu family's youngest son, Ichiru Kiryuu, in order to save her life and help Ichiru, but this was delayed when Rina bonded with Ichiru's twin brother, Zero. However, the night Rido seemed to attack the Kurans, Rina was sent off with her pet wolf, Zakari, whom she loved very much, while Kaname took the human Yuuki to Kaien Cross. It is unknown why Kaname did so.

After being reborn as Rina Tomonaga, Rina loved her mother, Julie, and her step-father very much, and they returned that love. However, Rina despised her biological father because of how he treated Julie when she told him that she was pregnant with Rina, and his fiancee, Zafrina Nakamura, very much as well because of how Zafrina acts towards both her and Julie, but she does love her half-brother, Zephyr, very much like her own twin brother, while she was unaware that he was Zakari, even though she did lose her memories of ever being a Kuran.

Sometimes in the fanfiction, flashbacks from Rina's past as Rina Kuran reveal more of her past personality and her relationship with her family. Rina loved making her parents uncomfortable, and she was able to do this by never speaking normal words to Zakari, and that successfully made Haruka and Juri uncomfortable. It is also revealed though despite her strong dislike for Yuuki, she does love her as her twin, as Rina drew a picture of her, Yuuki, and Zakari outside the mansion.

Day Class
Rina's relationship with the Day Class students is somewhat complicated because of her childish personality. A lot of the girls don't like her and pretend to like her, but thanks to Rina's "lie detector", Rina can tell and give them a smile in what Yuuki calls "The Evil I-Know-What-You're-Thinking Smile". Some students found that Rina is cool to hang around, and Rina would give them the "Nice-To-See-You-Today Smile", but no one in the Day Class noticed the smile that seemingly makes boys fall for her in which that she only gives to Zero. Some students understand why Rina would be nice to others as she lived with a horrible family who never cared about her and made her into the girl she is today.

Some of the boys in the Day Class have a crush on Rina because she was blunt down to where she wasn't like the other girls, who only talked about clothes and the boys of the Night Class, which is something that also annoys Rina. Most of the Day Class find Rina very scary when she's angry or when she's on prefect duty, saying that she's just as bad as Zero, or even worse.

When Zephyr came along, the girls immediately became jealous of Rina because of how Zephyr gave his attention to her, much to Rina's dismay, like when Zephyr embraced Rina from behind the first day he had classes, and when he did the same when Maria Kurenai was causing trouble. This also made Zero jealous, which shocked Rina since he never showed it. The Day Class are unaware though that Rina is a vampyre, which is something that needs to be kept secret.

Rido Kuran
Rina and Rido have yet to meet, but Rina is unaware that Rido is her uncle. Rido may be unaware that Rina is his niece, though he hasn't been introduced yet. Like he is targeting Yuuki, Rido may be targeting Rina because of her Trueblood nature, but it has yet to determine what Rina and Rido's relationship will be in the future, despite the fact the Rina hates Rido when she read the manga.
