Korin (康琳, Tiáo Kāng Lín) is the younger sister of Rokou and Nuriko. She was the youngest child from the Chou family and appears in Fushigi Yuugi: The Mysterious Play and The Prologue of Korin.
Character[]
Korin and her older brother, Ryuuen (Nuriko), were born one year apart and were often mistaken for twins with their violet hair and, in the anime, pink eyes. She is shown to have a close and inseparable bond with him, displaying a similar positive and fearless attitude. The two would come to the defense of her eldest brother, Rokou, whenever he was bullied, and did everything as a pair.
Story[]
Fushigi Yuugi: The Mysterious Play[]
In a flashback, when Nuriko discloses his past to Miaka and Tamahome, Korin is out in a crowded marketplace looking for Nuriko. She spots him from the other side of the street and runs to meet him. Unbeknownst to her, a horse and cart are out of control and rushing toward her. Through the crowd, Nuriko sees his sister and the cart, but before he can reach her, she is trampled by the horse and killed.
Nuriko wearing Korin's clothing after her death
Scarred by her death, Nuriko refuses to accept it. In retaliation, he decides that Korin will live on through him, donning her clothing and makeup. Nuriko adopts her name, giving up his own identity in place of his sister's, and convinces the general public that Ryuuen had died in the accident.[1]
He carries her "spirit" with him until his journey to Hokkan, where he makes the choice to let her go so he can live his life as a Suzaku Warrior.
Korin later appears in flashbacks to Nuriko and Roukou's past, and once during Tamahome's dream as a guest at his wedding.
