Ginchiyo's Links
[[ Kira we have to redo this they are girlfriends now ]] They met in school, like everyone else. Probably met her at lunch, sitting alone. Being the sweetheart she is, Ginchiyo likely often tried to keep Rin company, since she thought Rin was very lonely. Got super worried when Rin disappeared because of the TV Incidents, but when she came back, she was very happy and made sure she didn't disappear again. Feelings probably came around because they both have an open-ish relationship with Naoto. As a girlfriend, Ginchiyo loves Rin very much, and would always try to make her smile and be happy. I live for Ginny wanting to kiss Rin's forehead a lot tbh.
Rin didn't understand why Ginchiyo would want anything to do with the "Ice Queen" when Ginchiyo would try to be friendly with her, and likely tried to push her away, more or less fearful she was pitying her or was just going to get close to her to talk shit behind her back like most people did. She generally felt bad for her earlier thoughts after her TV incident and apologized to Ginchiyo for thinking that way. Trying to be more honest from then, she did her best to get along with Ginchiyo after that, happy that someone like her wanted to be friends. When Ginchiyo herself went missing and ended up in the TV world, she panicked, but did her best to help Ginchiyo, deciding it was the best way to thank her for worrying about her when she herself was in the TV, and for trying to be friends with her before when she was lonely. Having shunned her emotions for a long time, she wondered why after awhile she was particularly happy around Ginchiyo, and later Naoto, and it took someone to point out what she was feeling for her to realize that she had fallen for them.
