Name	Rin Hazuki
Appearances
Manga
BlazBlue: Variable Heart

Rin Hazuki is the mother of Mai Natsume, wife of Houichirou Hazuki, and current matriarch of the Hazuki household. She's the only known user of Vision.

Appearance

Rin looks almost identical to her daughter Mai. She has a toned build with long hair tied up in a ponytail with a ribbon at the bottom of the length. She has large breasts, pale skin, and a singular ahoge.

Rin is first seen in a formal white dress with short ruffled sleeves. Over this was another, darker, dress which opened up towards the front of her pelvis and had a small strap lower down to prevent it opening too much. She also wore a small ribbon around her neck and a high, dark-colored collar.

When sparring with Mai, Rin was seen in a tight black tank-top and tight black shorts. She also wore shoes with metal toecaps and heels.

Personality

Contrasting quite drastically with the seriousness of her husband, Rin is care-free and seemingly ditsy. She's quick to come to conclusions, even with very little evidence, but she is much smarter than she lets on.

As a member of the Hazuki's, it is likely that she carries the philosophy that the strongest should survive. She shows a great deal of love for her daughter.

Biography

Rin is first hinted at in BlazBlue: Remix Heart but it is unknown if she is aware of her husband, Houichirou, sending assassins after their daughter during her tenure in the Military Academy. Rin regularly sent letters to Mai, but did not get any responses. She met Taro Sasaga'e and Meifang Lapislazuli at some point, and copied their techniques using Vision.

Variable Heart

Mai finally came back to the Hazuki family home with Bell, Kajun Faycott, Shiori Kirihito, and Taro. Rin threw herself at her daughter, exclaiming how worried she was about her. She quickly got down to Bell's level, and asked if she was her granddaughter before being corrected by everyone else. She begged them to have some tea after their long journey, but the group was called over to Houichirou. After hearing that her husband had confiscated Mai's weapon, the Gallia Sphyras: Outseal, and that he had challenged their daughter to single combat, she decided to train Mai.

The following day, Rin took Mai to some training grounds, and on top of a particular apparatus which used a giant log above a stream of water. She chose this location specifically because it would kill either of them if they fell off, but Houichirou would probably kill Mai anyway if she couldn't show that she was still strong in his eyes. The two began brawling, and Rin began using Vision to show Mai what she could learn using the No-Name Grimoire. She showed off some of her accumulated abilities during the session. After the battle, Rin took Bell and bathed her, and said that Mai could probably beat Houichirou if she really wanted to.

She soon saw the group leave with Kokonoe, being left in the mansion with her husband. Julian ran to them, warning them that Relius Clover had come to visit. They were both incapacitated by him, even though Rin attempted to mimic his technique, she was unable to since he was using sorcery. Relius eventually let them be, leaving the Hazuki estate; Rin stopped her husband from pursuing him.

Powers and Techniques

A Hazuki - Rin's last name alone is a testament to her strength in battle, but she has an ability unlike any other - Vision. Vision has allowed her to copy multiple abilities and Arts over her lifetime, and she is a physically strong and agile fighter without it. She has at least copied Taro's Ars Magus strings, Meifang's mysterious ability, and her husbands intimidating presence, all of which she can effortlessly use in battle.
