Arrived at the location, she discovered an old woman attacked by several thugs. She decimates them all and saves the old woman. As a thanks for saving her life, the old woman invites Rina to work in her flower shop, which Rina gladly accepts. One week later, the thugs are back, and attacked the old woman once again, prompting Rina to invervene. However, they won in numbers, and despite Rina's attempt to decimate most of them, they have succeeded to badly injure the old woman, and leaves her for dead.

The menbers of 2nd division of Heroes (Rina, Fied, and Algeo) decided to go on a vacation to Yogyakarta. After a short ruckus involving her male teammates, she decided to go to the airport first. Arrived to the airport, she sensed a strange aura of the people, as if they aren't real humans. She called Algeo and Fied, asking them to arrive asap, before she was attacked by Artblock posing as an office boy. She dodged it easily and broke its back. Suddenly a horde of artblocks attacked her, prompting her to unleash her scroll and attacked them with her Ice Sigil.

Last Stage: OUTBREAK[]
Earlier of the fateful day, Rina walks by herself in Borobudur's southern area, where she suddenly notices Vaein, Nate and some other villains gather on top of Borobudur. Rina, curious about what they might be talking (or planning) decided to watch their movement for a bit, when Nikora and Samme, her fellow heroes came by. Suddenly Samme moved and start attacking those villains, Rina and Nikora have no choice but taking actions too.

The Heroes and Villains decided to retreat and rest for the epic battle.
The real battle ensues, entire rangers of Heroes and Villains battled in epic fight, until all of them are exhausted and one by one revealed their true power. Rina, saw her friends fallen before her, cries, stated that she is just too weak to fight, and just a burden to the others protecting her, the intense guilt in her heart grows out of control, and manifests as a dark purple aura that slowly emerges and envelops her body; she lets her guilt takes control of her body, and unleashed immense power that can take out a soul at her own will.
At the end of the war, she finally forgives herself, and slowly regained consciousness. By the time she awake, the war was already over, and Fied stands beside her, along with Meltis and unconscious Algeo. Rina asks what happened to Algeo, but Fied cannot bring himself to say a thing. Rina hugs unconscious Algeo and starts crying loudly.
The Encounter[]
Some times after the Big War, Rina gets a visit from a stranger that revealed herself to be Rina's past self. She seems to be hiding from someone.
Rina in Battle[]
Holy Ray Cannon, Rina's strongest attack
Rina is a Full Fledged Summoner/Conjurer, and fights with magical powers, in which she called it Psi Force (body/mind force). Her elemental affinity is Holy, and her moves involves the holy elements. Her attack power depends from how long she charged it, the longer she charges her attack, the more powerful it will be. To compensate this, she has decent agility, that mainly used to keep her distance from her opponents, buying her time to charge her attacks. Most of her moves flungs opponents back, and/or make them stand still, thereby giving her time to keep distance. This effectively makes her a long-range fighter.
She is also able to summon items that she has 'sealed' before in her scrolls. Mainly medicines and her friends' weapons.
Her ultimate attack is Holy Ray Cannon, a beam of light (consisted of a highly concentrated holy element), capable of obliterating dark energy and
Delivering happiness, even in battlefield.
the beam itself bursts upon impact with objects, causing area damage along its path. It's unblockable, has a very long range, and instantly executed, leaving no time for enemies to react. However, using this technique is very risky, it must be charged for at least 20 seconds to reach its potential power, but leaving Rina defenseless. If the charging interrupted mid-action, Rina must repeat from beginning. It's also requires incredible amount of energy; Rina will lost much of her Psi force, reverted back to her normal mode, and left exhausted.
The very long charging time also gives opportunity for enemies to interrupt it, or flee, latter option is possible; the Holy Ray Cannon needs to be aimed precisely at long range target because it has a narrow area of impact (a straight line).
In the first war, Rina has no magic abilities at all, making her vulnerable to magic attacks, and her magic defense was incredibly poor, but she could counter it with her excellent agility. Her attacks consisted of big strikes with her huge swords, dealt massive damage to her opponents. She would switch to shorter and lighter blade to defend herself from closer opponents.
Capabilities:[]
- Flash step. Thanks to her good agility, she is capable to cover a short distance in an instant, mainly to keep away from her opponents.
- Super jump. Using a smaller, redirected version of Holy Force Blast, she is capable to jump much higher and farther than average human.
- Aura eyes. As a maternal family characteristic, she has a special sight, enables her to see emmited aura in her surroundings, she can also see aura emitted beyond visual range, albeit only in a very short time. When activated, aura eyes can't process incoming light, but only sees aura emanating from people or things, therefore making the user capable to see in low-to-no light conditions. It's automatically activated when Rina uses her magical power. When activated, her eyes will glow. Because this type of sight enables user to see at the distance more clearly, the user usually has a poor near-sight.
- Elemental affinity. Holy. An uncommon element occured when all fundamentary elements are united. Rina's Holy cannot be used to directly inflict harm, but is very effective against Dark elements (and vice versa)
Berserk Mode[]
- "The strongest power comes- when you have something to protect!"
- —Rina, in Berserk Mode
In Berserk Mode, Rina's power increased, and changes form. She is able to gather the natural Holy forces to further augment her power, making the normally costly and long-charging attack (like Holy Ray Cannon, Rainbow- Attacks) can be used multiple times in succession without charging, has larger area effect, bigger damage and wider radius. However, her speed is reduced. She gained ability to levitate in Berserk Mode.

Trivia[]
- Rina has poor near vision, a condition inherited from her mother. She wears contacts to alleviate this.
- Atherina is derived from Athena, goddess of war, strategy and wisdom in Greek mythology, and is also reflecting her birthplace in Athens, Greece.
- But interestingly, she was born on March. March is a month named after Mars, the Roman equivalent of Ares, the god of war in Greek mythology, who is known for his preference of violent and brutal aspect of combat, a direct opposite to Athena, his sister, who prefers strategy, intelligence, and wisdom.
- According to her official page:
- Her IQ is 200
- As for 2013, She has F-cup bust, and still growing. Her three sizes is 97-58-91
- Her favorite food is vegetable salad and pizza, and her less favored food is hamburgers, and 'anything unhealthy'
- Her favorite drink is hot tea
- Her favorite phrase is "believe in yourself"
- Her hobby is ikebana, and part-time job hunting
- Besides her personality, Rina receives drastic changes in her physicality, notably her shorter height but heavier weight. The creator Erkaz stated that Rina was too tall before (168 cm), so she needs to be smaller, and gained weight (from 45 kg to 53 kg) because Erkaz wants Rina to have something to worry about, in this case, her weight.
- Her physical stats are also drastically revamped, which directly inversed from Physical-centric to Magical-centric, and toned down her stats to make her more balanced.
- Contrary to the popular belief, Rina's story (be it her history or current event) never changed a bit, and all changes that she experienced are all part of her flowing story.
- Ironically, most of her relations, and the people who are usually seen around her, are villains.
- In the last Canvas Ranger Award, Rina won five awards, they are:
- Most Popular Couple (along with Feisha),
- Most 'Moe' character,
- Sweetest Character (girl),
- Most Remembered Character (tied with Rokoz), and
- Most Wanted Character as a Girlfriend.
- And in the last Canvas Ranger Award, Rina won the "ter-Sihir (most Magical)" title, but also hinting that "over the course of Canvas Ranger, not only her magical powers that keeps growing..."[8]
