Besides this, Rin is very affectionate towards Saber both in the visual novel and official artwork. Ambiguously Bi: Rin realizes she is bisexual in the uncensored version of the Fate route when taking part in a mana transfer ritual with Saber and Shirou.Always Someone Better: She's this to her younger sister, Sakura, being the peerless and gifted beauty Sakura feels she can never hope to catch up to.She plays it up in school so others would keep her distance from her.
