[edit] Rinslet Walker in the Manga
Rinslet Walker is a thief-for-hire with a remarkable reputation who met Train. She works with him occasionally. Creed has captured Rinslet on a handful of occasions. After Train helped her, Rinslet started to respect, and possibly even loves Train, although he often fools around. Rinslet sometimes hangs around Train, Sven and Eve and helps them in missions, but most often disappears to do her own thing after that. Rinslet is sometimes called "Rins" by her acquaintances, and likes disguises, treasure, and seeing Eve in cute outfits. When she wants to disguise herself, she uses a blonde wig, even though in the manga that only happens once in the start.
She is later (forcefully) hired by Chronos to act as a bait to lure the Cerberos team into an attack against the Apostles Of The Stars' castle when their whereabouts were unknown. Rinslet uses sexuality as a weapon to control men, which she considers to be inferior. She has a great self-esteem and with a cute smile that always gets Train and Sven to do what she wants at many points within the plot.
[edit] Rinslet Walker in the anime
In the anime, Rinslet doesn't destroy Torneo's nanomachine lab, as Dr. Tearju has already destroyed it when she reaches it. She is not hired by Chronos to help find the location of the Apostles of The Stars' castle, as she is instead hired to steal a bottle of Shinkitou, the drink that allows people to gain the power of Tao. She finds Dr. Tearju in the final part of the story, bringing her along with the heroes to rescue Eve. In the anime, she disguises herself with her blonde wig many more times than in the manga, impersonating "Elena." Also rather than a whip and a gun Rinslet is a very skilled and strong martial artist who specializes in delivering powerful kicks.
During the middle of the series Rinslet meets Jenos Hazard (VII) and accepts a job on behalf of Chronos. During their first meeting Jenos admits to having a crush on her and often flirts with her, which in return Rinslet dismisses, often annoyed by his actions.
Although during the second half of the series, when she and Sven are held captive in the castle during the battle with Creed, she is worried about Jenos. She even shouted after him, as he fell from the cliff worried, although whilst Jenos was falling he admitted his love for her in a joking manner making it unclear if his feelings were true or not. She in turn acted annoyed and seemingly forgot about him during the rest of the fight, but after Creed was defeated and everyone was leaving the castle she showed concern for Jenos, convinced that "A Chronos Number wouldn't die from a fall like that," showing that she may indeed have some feelings for him.
During the end of the series when Chronos, The Sweepers Alliance, Sven, Train and Tearju were fighting against Eden, Jenos once again hinted to wanting a relationship. He shouted out to her that he was going to take her out on a date after they had defeated Eden in a comical fashion. Although Rinslet replied, "Then expect a knuckle sandwich from yours truly," even though she threatened to punch him (most probably out of worry for fighting against the Zero Numbers), she never denied not wanting the date as the children on board with her in the helicopter mocked her and Jenos' intentions.
During the last episode when Jenos was fighting against the Zero Numbers, Rinslet appeared on the monitor that Tearju was using stating that he couldn't lose against people like them. When Eden was defeated, Sven received a call from Rinslet, to which he replied, "So how are things going with Jenos?" He then laughed and said "Come on, you can't hide it anymore," clearly implying that Rinslet and Jenos are in fact in a relationship. Also during the last episode in the ending credits she is seen receiving a phone call from Jenos.
