Rin Yamaoka (Japanese: 山岡凜) or "The Spirit" is one of 25 Killers currently featured in Dead by Daylight .

She was introduced as the Killer of CHAPTER IX: Shattered Bloodline, a Chapter DLC released on 18 September 2018.

Overview

The Spirit is a phase-walking Killer, able to catch Survivors off-guard with her traversal Power, Yamaoka's Haunting. Her Power allows her to teleport from one place to another without being seen.

Her personal Perks, Spirit Fury , Hex: Haunted Ground , and Rancor , give her tools to observe and bait Survivors, and deal with obstacles directly in her path.

She inherited incredible fury from her ancestors. The wrath that flows through her veins is her legacy. The terrible pain she suffered set it off. Swift and lethal, The Spirit exacts her revenge endlessly.

Difficulty rating: Hard
(based on the amount of time and effort that is required to properly learn to play her and use her Power effectively)

Lore

Additional Lore can be found in Tome II - Reckoning: Steeped in Blood.

Rin was the only child of the Yamaoka family. She was raised in the dusty halls of a traditional house in Kagawa. She studied Education at Takamatsu, a private university, which weighed heavily on her family's shaky finances. Her mother got ill that year and the bills started piling up. Rin worked part-time in a futile attempt to help lighten the load.

Her father faced a debt that grew without end. He started working double-shifts in hopes of obtaining a promotion. That's when he started losing sleep. A dark whisper would keep him awake all night, reminding him of his hopeless situation. Exhausted, he started to lose grasp of reality. Fighting to deny what the voice whispered at night, Rin's father made a desperate move. He met with his superior and explained his situation. He begged for a bonus, an advance, time-off---anything.

His request was denied. The company had launched a defective production line that was costing them dearly. Someone had to be held accountable and Rin's father fitted the bill perfectly. He was fired after twenty-two years of service.

That evening, Rin came home from work. She'd stayed late to entertain customers that lingered at the restaurant. As she parked her bike in the shed, she heard her mother's scream come from the house.

She rushed in, climbing up the stairs to her parents' room. There she found bits and pieces of her mother on the floor. Her limbs were clean-cut, tangled up in an unnatural position. Her breasts were sliced up, revealing her rib cage, which was cracked open. Rin gagged.

A sharp Katana came crashing down. Rin blocked the blade, which bit into her bare forearm. The shock of recognition interrupted her pain: her father was wielding the Katana with a stoic expression. She cried out to make him stop, but he slashed her arm again.

She rushed off and slid on the blood-smeared floor. Using the door frame as support, she raised herself up. The Katana ripped through the wall, cleaving her other arm. She screamed in pain as she limped into the hallway, only to be met by her father's blade.

She stepped back, trembling, as she held together the soft loose flesh of her abdomen. Images of her mother's tangled limbs flashed before her eyes.

Rin charged at her father, making him stumble back. He punched her torn abdomen and she recoiled in pain. As she struggled to get back up, he slashed her thigh, making her collapse on the floor.

As she crawled towards the stairs, he grabbed her hair and yanked her against a partition. The glass shattered on impact and she fell through, landing one floor down.

She heard footsteps somewhere above her. With effort, she moved, worming her way into a sea of broken glass. The shards gnawed at her, ripping her flesh. He had to be stopped. He would not get away with what he'd done to her--with what he'd done to her mother.

Coughing up blood, her chin grazed the glass, adding to the bleeding. A low-pitched heartbeat started to ring in her ears. Her body felt so heavy she could no longer move.

The ground shook with her father's footsteps. She knew she was not going to make it, but she no longer cared. She would make him pay, in this life or the next.

A dark Fog slowly veiled her eyes, but it could not subdue her rage. She would not rest--not yet. The darkness whispered, promising blood and revenge.

An oath was made and Rin closed her eyes.

The Spirit's Perks

These are Perks which start off only appearing in The Spirit's Bloodweb . After achieving Level 30, Teachable versions of these Perks can be found:

Spirit Fury - Level 30
Hex: Haunted Ground - Level 35
Rancor - Level 40

Once obtained, other Killers will be able to find The Spirit's Perks in their respective Bloodwebs from that point onwards.

	Spirit Fury	Each Pallet you break magnifies the wrath of The Entity. After breaking 4/3/2 Pallets, the next time you are stunned by a Pallet , The Entity will instantly break it. You still suffer from the Stun penalty. "Fury is her blood."
	Hex: Haunted Ground	Two trapped Hex Totems will spawn in the Trial Grounds. When either Hex Totem is cleansed, all Survivors suffer from the Exposed Status Effect for 40/50/60 seconds. The second Hex Totem will immediately turn into a Dull Totem. "Her home become profane."
	Rancor	You become obsessed with one Survivor. Each time a Generator is completed: Your Aura is revealed to the Obsession for 5/4/3 seconds. All Survivors' locations are revealed to you for 3 seconds. Once all Generators are completed: The Obsession suffers from a permanent Exposed Status Effect. You are granted the ability to kill the Obsession by your own hand. You can only be obsessed* with one Survivor at a time.*

Load-out

Weapon: Shattered Katana

A single-edged straight sword handed down from generation to generation. The blade shattered after spilling the blood of her kin.

Power: Yamaoka's Haunting

Yamaoka is the name she carries from her ancestors, who unleashed hell on the battlefield.
The Spirit draws her power from their wrath, haunting the living as retribution for her suffering.
The Spirit can use Yamaoka's Haunting to enter the Ethereal Plane and re-appear at a new location.

YAMAOKA'S HAUNTING:
Press and hold the Power button to charge Yamaoka's Haunting and initiate a Phase-Walk.
The Spirit will depart her physical body and enter the Ethereal Plane, leaving behind a stationary Husk.

Using Yamaoka's Haunting depletes The Spirit's Power gauge (5 seconds).
It will automatically replenish over time (15 seconds).
The Power gauge must be fully replenished before another Phase-Walk can be initiated.

Phase-Walk:

The Spirit may traverse to a new location at an increased Movement speed (7.04 m/s).
The Spirit loses sight of all Survivors, but still sees the Scratch Marks they leave throughout the Trial Grounds.
The Spirit emits an audible, directional cue while Phase Walking within 24 metres of her ethereal form.
When ending a Phase-Walk, The Spirit retains her Movement Speed boost for a brief moment and her Husk fades away.

Husk:

The Husk emits The Spirit's regular Terror Radius .
The Husk suppresses The Spirit's audible cue within its Terror Radius.
Survivors may disperse the Husk by shining a Flashlight on it.

Passive Phasing:

When not Phase-Walking and only from the Survivor's Point of View, The Spirit constantly phases in and out of view at random intervals.

Power Trivia

Shining a Flashlight upon The Spirit's Husk while she is phase-walking will cause the Husk to disappear after a few seconds and with it any potential effects induced by the Husk's Terror Radius.
- It should be noted that this behaviour is not considered a Lightburn since The Spirit is unaffected by that mechanic.
Yamaoka's Haunting is a Charges-based Power:
- Has 5 Charges at default.
- Consumes 1 Charge/second.
- Recharges at a rate of 0.333 Charges/second.
Default Phase Walk duration is 5 seconds.
Default Power recovery is 15 seconds.
Default Power activation time is 1.5 seconds.
The post-Phase-Walk speed boost is maintained for 0.5 seconds.
- The Spirit's Lunge range is also increased during that time.
Survivors within the Terror Radius of the Husk will not hear the phasing sound. Survivors outside of that range will hear the sound, but will be unable to determine its direction.
Survivors will not hear The Spirit's breathing sound during a phase-walk.
The Spirit can still hear any sounds the Survivors produce, be that from interactions with Props or sounds in general.
The Spirit can see the invisible Survivors' effects on the environment, such as grass or corn moving.
Yamaoka's Haunting affects Perks in different ways based on the fact that The Spirit basically exists in two places at the same time whenever she is phase-walking.
- Spine Chill will activate based on The Spirit's ethereal form and not her Husk's location.
- Perks affected by The Spirit's Terror Radius, such as Diversion and Stake Out , are activated by the Terror Radius of both her Husk and her ethereal form.
- Perks that reveal The Spirit's Aura will only reveal her Husk.
The Spirit is unable to read Auras while on the Ethereal Plane.
However, she still receives loud noise notifications.

- During the confrontation between Rin and her father, The Entity sensed greater potential in Rin's rage over her father's despair and decided to choose her instead to become a new Killer.
The Spirit is directly related to The Oni, who is a paternal ancestor of hers.
In a stream show-casing the development of The Spirit, it was mentioned that she cost the Developers about 30,000 Dollars to create.
The Spirit resembles an "Onryō", a ghost in Japanese culture, believed to be able to enter the world of the living and cause pain in order to fulfil their need of vengeance.
The Spirit's last name, Yamaoka, roughly translates to "Mountain Hill".
According to Louis McLean, The Spirit did not have her bandages at some point during development.
- They were ultimately added as the non-bandaged Spirit was "distracting" and "it [might have] caused a stir in some countries".
Takamatsu University, the college that Rin Yamaoka attended, exists in real life. It is located in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan.
- Since Takamatsu University was established 1996, it can be argued that the Spirit's backstory happened between 1996 and 2018.
