Takomi Rin is a veteran officer of the Second Mishhuvurthyar War, having been part of First Expeditionary Fleet intelligence as an Information Warfare Specialist. She soon was brought into SAINT, first as an IWS in RISE before graduating to an analyst with YOMI. By war's end, she had been promoted to Taii, overseeing several analysts within a YOMI unit.

Takomi's management style – efficient, cutthroat and direct – blunted some of her upward momentum within YOMI. Though she promoted to Shosa by YE 36, she continued to irritate higher-ups with her pointed views and critical nature. SAINT command pushed her farther toward the fringes of YOMI until she promoted to Chusa in YE 37.

Takomi, seeing her options within YOMI tailored into oblivion, decided to pursue an unusual billet to obtain Taisa – Special Personnel Projects, a division within SIN. Her demeanor and style earned her no new friends, but SAINT command saw it as a way to remove her from overseeing many people to overseeing a select few.

In Takomi's case, it turned into one. Now a Taisa, Takomi was assigned to the SPP of Melisson, the infamous Interpreter of Mefpralphra, an Umbral. Takomi's only dedicated personnel was a war hero and erstwhile Black Spiral by the name of Freeman.

The analyst was not blind to what she perceived as SAINT command's motivations, but she vowed she was not going to be put to pasture without a bang. When Freeman came to her asking for a new billet, Takomi saw a chance to make a name for herself, taking a radical approach to attempt to make progress on the stalled project.

It worked, in a sense. SAINT command congratulated her for making the troublesome Freeman part of SAINT, but the reward was more work. Takomi picked up on part of another, even more secretive SPP related to the storied Miharu and the ship's crew. Adopting part of the project's personnel, Takomi quickly ramped herself up to understand the pursuit of Umbral physiology through the work of the Mishhuvurthyar Activities Division, psychic power and their mental infection prowess, including Yamatai's limited understanding of seeding.
