I really like it when Rin twirls a lock of her hair around her finger. It's so cute and adorable that I went ahead and complied the times she does it in the anime. I also included some manga panels of her doing it.
He tenido esta pregunta para el wukongverse en mucho tiempo... ¿Rin Rin... Es Macaque...? (Porque me fui a buscar la wiki y al parecer Macaque no aparece en Saiyuki)
translation via google:
"I've had this question for the wukongverse for a long time… Rin Rin… Is it Macaque…? (Because I went to look for the wiki and apparently Macaque does not appear in Saiyuki)"
It is very possible! Macaque in LMK has many character traits taken from Rin Rin in Saiyuki/Alakazam the Great; notably being Wukong's/Sun Goku's friend as a child, and giving him fruit when he was trapped under the mountain.
Curiously in Saiyuki, Rin Rin has a false death when she succumbs to a blizzard while visiting Son Goku. Guanyin/Kannon intervenes to save her, and convince Son Goku to go on the Pilgrimage while Rin Rin heals at home. She only awakens when Son Goku rushes home after completing the Journey.
Almost like how Macaque "died" during the Journey and came back during the modern day.
Ultimately she could be Saiyuki's Macaque. As we never see such a character in the film - then again its a 88 minute film for kids so there's a lot of plot details and characters that are skipped over.
I love the idea of Rin Rin awakening to Son Goku, and he notices her "beautiful lotus-petal ears" like it's just another thing that makes her special to him. <3
