Rineve

Rineve is the femslash ship between Rinko Shirokane and Eve Wakamiya from the BanG Dream! fandom.

Canon
Rinko and Eve are both high school student at Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy; while Rinko is a third-year student, Eve is a year below her. Rinko is the president of Hanasakigawa's student council, while Eve is a member of Tea Ceremony Club, Flower Arrangement Club, and Kendo Club. They are also both keyboardists of their own bands, Pastel*Palettes and Roselia, however Eve uses a keytar instead of a keyboard like Rinko.

The two are first shown interacting in the New Years! Omikuji Madness event, where Eve and Rinko run into each other as they're doing their first New Year's shrine visit with friends. After the girls draw their fortunes, Eve is the only one who gets "Great Misfortune", depressing and making her afraid of what's to come. Rinko suggest she read what else the fortune has written in it, only for the answers to confuse Eve further. Rinko apologizes, but Eve denies she has nothing to apologize for. The group proceeds to walk, only for Eve to trip over and break her zouri sandal's strap, which Rinko ends up fixing for her. Rinko tries calming her down by saying that those kind of sandals' straps break easily, but Eve ends up believing it's part of her fortune slip's premonition. After another mishap, Eve drops and loses her pouch, and Rinko suggests they look for it. The group then later get together again, with Rinko and Ako holding a lot of luck charms, hoping they'd help dispel Eve's misfortune.

Their next major interactions happen in the Blossoming in Largo event, which features Rinko trying out different club activities at the school due to her wondering if it's okay for her to stay the way she is. Rinko and Sayo, her fellow bandmate, run into Eve in front of the club building, which leads to Eve inviting the two into attending the Tea Ceremony Club's meeting. The club's teacher invites both Rinko and Sayo to try making tea as well, and the two follow Eve and Kanon's examples. Rinko manages to perfectly replicate Eve and Kanon's style, as pointed out by the club's advisor. Eve becomes very excited over this and then invites Rinko to join the club, only for her to turn the invitation down, especially after three other club members come in and try to make her join.

In Chapter 3 and 4 of the event's story, Rinko and Sayo spend their time watching Eve participate in the Kendo Club's activities. When they run into Eve, she lists off all the clubs she attends, after which Rinko wonders if it's hard for her to be a member of so many clubs at the same time. Eve gives a motivational answer to Rinko, saying how not only is it fun to try so many things, but she can also feel her current self evolving little by little, through a series of small changes coming together. Rinko then starts thinking about her answer, and as the Sayo and Rinko watch Eve struggle against a harder opponent for thirty minutes, Rinko laments on the fact how she keeps running away yet Eve just stands up again and keeps stubbornly facing whatever challenges come her way. Sayo proceeds to say how, despite running away from things that scare her, she also recognizes it and refuses to run away from herself, making it proof that Rinko is in fact trying. Rinko, feeling better over Sayo's words, yells at Eve to not give up, which in turn leads to Eve finally winning. Eve then runs to the two, saying how the win she earned is between her and Rinko, as she couldn't have done it without hearing Rinko's cheers.

During the Ending chapter, Eve, Misaki and Kanon watch and cheer on from afar as Sayo helps Rinko to shoot arrows at the Archery Club's archery range, before barging in and congratulating Rinko after she manages to properly shoot one.

In Rinko's 4★ card's first episode titled "Key×Key×Key", Rinko waits for Eve at the school gate after school, which surprises Eve, and the former asks if the she'd like to walk home. Eve then happily invites her to go to Hazawa Coffee, where they run into Afterglow's keyboardist Tsugumi working during her shift. After sitting down, the two start praising Rinko's playing, as well as the fact how hardworking she is. Eve then suggests if Rinko would like to work part-time at Hazawa Coffee as a way to improve herself even further, before the latter declines once more, saying she wants to focus on one thing at the time.

The two are also shown interacting in Eve's Dream Festival 4★ (Unbearable Fervor)'s card stories, where she and Hagumi are talking to Rinko about the costumes she made for Roselia (their initial band outfits). As Rinko explains that the band's dark outfits use lighter materials, Eve confuses it for ninja clothing, and asks if Rinko happens to be a ninja. Eve and Hagumi then proceed to talk about it for half an hour, before asking Rinko again, who tries declining it but Eve says now that Rinko's been found out, she'll have to use her "Dance of the Roses" technique. Eve and Hagumi try come up with what its power would exactly be, before rejecting the idea, and then saying they'll help Rinko come up with an amazing ninjutsu technique. Rinko panics, only to somewhat remember how the Ninja class in her favorite online game - Neo Fantasy Online - works like, as well as what she'd read from a book, so she proceeds to tell the two details about them. Eve and Hagumi are struck awe over Rinko's knowledge, with Eve even further believing Rinko is a ninja as she proceeds to hug her. Despite Rinko further disclaiming her beliefs, she ends up discussing ninja-related things with the two in the end, only to deny once more that she and Roselia aren't ninjas.

Fanon
