* ObliviousToLove: Utterly fails to recognize romantic interest from peers, at least when directed at her. She did notice Obito's attraction to Rin and Rin's interest in Kakashi, but it's likely as much a result of canon-influenced confirmation bias as anything.



* ParentalAbandonment: Kei mentions the apparent incongruity of Obito being an orphan while also being an openly acknowledged member of the Uchiha clan. See AllOfTheOtherReindeer above for details.



* ObliviousToLove: Had no idea that Obito was in love with her, per canon, [[spoiler:only to find out when Kei and Kakashi carry his confession home from Kannabi. Rin breaks down in tears.]]
* ParentalAbandonment: Rin starts the story as an orphan, with no information given about her parents. [[spoiler:She is later adopted by her teacher, Akihito Yamaguchi.]]



* BrokenAce: Immensely talented, clever, and badly traumatized by his father's death. [[spoiler:And then there's the guilt over both the Kannabi mission and the one where Kei became the host of the Three-Tailed Beast.]]
