Rina's Profile (lazy-copy-paste version)

 

The sight of blood also causes her stress, but for a different reason. During a duel on a public sidewalk, under a year ago (now over a year ago), using the version 2 (or "classic") duel disk, Rina was knocked back by an attacking "Blowback Dragon," after its effect was used to destroy her last sheep token. It was, unfortunately, at the same time that a truck was driving by. She narrowly avoided the vehicle, but with her arms up, one hit the side mirror, causing her to spin uncontrollably into a major light pole, brushing it violently, head first. Her upper half landed back onto the sidewalk, enabling her to see her own blood on the concrete, semi-consciously, before passing out. Her duel disk began to short out as it, too, had struck the light pole, severly cracking the active device in a number of places. Whether Rina received any shocks from it was unknown to the duelist who helped get her to the hospital.

A few days later, with a little assistance (transfusion and stuff) from others, Rina managed to recover from the near-death situation, not to mention her dislocated wrist. However, according to the doctor that helped to treat her, while she may be fine, physically, now, there were occasionally strange readings in her brainwave patterns. Fortunately, they had no major bearing on her normal thought processes, or her life, in general. She could live her life normally, in other words. While that was true, the issue of the rare abnormality was a concern worth pondering. But no matter what tests were taken, the problem could not be deciphered.

It was, eventually, decided that since the abnormality was non-life-threatening, Rina could return home with her family.
