Shugogetten, Shaorin

守護月天小璘

A moon spirit dressed in traditional-style costumes, she possesses little understanding of the human world after spending a few thousand years confined within the shitenrin. Throughout the anime, her purpose is to protect Tasuke, which she accomplishes by summoning various assistants known as hoshigami (星神, literally "star gods") through the ring. Initially, she causes trouble for Tasuke by destroying harmless household objects in her attempts to protect him. Consequently, she is banned from attending school after destroying parts of it. Due to this, Shaorin sends Rishuu to protect Tasuke at school. In the manga, her misguided efforts to protect him on the first day lead Tasuke to order her to go away, stating that he can protect himself. A bit later, she apologizes and asks for his permission to protect him from loneliness. The manga continues on that basis. She develops feelings for Tasuke and becomes jealous when Kaori appears in episode 12; in the last two episodes, she finally realizes what she feels for Tasuke. Her given name might be Shao, with "-rin" serving as an affectionate suffix. Volume 5 of the manga reveals that people casually familiar with her believe she is an ordinary person, and her family name (last name) is "Shugogetten".
