Relationships
Malaysia: She calls him 'lou dou' which means father in Hokkien, a chinese dialect that are often uses in Perak. However, she used to treat him as a little brother before she become one of his states. Malaysia often takes care of her as she is too spoilt for her own goods. But when Lin is distrubing him too much, he will just bribes her with food to leave.

Netherlands: She has a brief history with him before England came. Netherlands forced her sultan to sign a treaty that triggered the anger of the local aristocrats. Lin used this opporturnity and attacked the Dutch, forcing them to leave Perak. After a while, Netherlands returned to renew the agreement and seek for a compesation which resulting Lin and her peoples attacked them again. However, Netherlands returned again and surprisingly was celebrated by Lin herself. Turns out, she was letting Netherlands built a fortress on her island because Siam (Thailand) was going to annex her. After the annexation plan faded, Lin with her peoples attacked the fortress and forced Netherlands to leave. Netherlands tried to make a new treaty but failed.

England: She asked him for help when Siam was trying to annex her. When England came, he not only prevented the annexation but he also solved the Larut War and succesion problems.

Due to the unsatisfication, the Resident was assasinated, resulting a brief Perak War. Her favourite sultan was exiled to Seychelles, making Lin regretted for asking for England's help. No matter how much she hates him, it still doesn't change the fact that she started it first. The only thing she actually thanked him for was when he (kind off) forced Selangor to sign a treaty that preventing Selangor to attack her.

Thailand: She calls him Siam to show that she stilll hate him like old days. The reason why she hates him is because he forced her sister Kedah to attack her. However she like his cookings.

China: There was lot of chinese immigrants that came to Perak. Lin enjoyed talking with them somehow. That's how she get the name Lin which means forest. The Chinese thoughts that Ridzuan is too masculine for her and give her a nickname.

Malacca Sultanate: Eventhough Malacca is younger than her, she looks him as a father figure since he adopted her and he also gave her the name Ridzuan, in hope that she will be more graceful. Her sultans were the descendant of Malacca Sutanate.

Brief History
Lin is one of the oldest states in Malaya (Penisular Malaysia) along with Kedah and Pahang. Before becoming a sultanate, she was a Hindu-Malay kingdom called Gangga Negara dating back to 2 A.D. Her name; Perak was said to taken from a metal which is silver. But her 33th Sultan said that her name was taken form Tun Perak, a wise minister that helped the growth of Malacca Sultanate and they can't gave her the name Malacca because it was already used.

After 1511, the fall of Malacca Sultanate after the Portuguese Invasion, Perak was left without any sultans or bosses. So her peoples sent Tun Saban to ask for Sultan Mahmud for one of his sons to come and rule over Perak.Sultan Mahmud then instructed his second son from his marriage to Puteri Onang Kening of Kelantan, Raja Muzaffar, to go forth to Perak.

With her experience with Malacca Sultanate, Lin refused to have an unworthy boss. She then sent her saka haiwan, Kinta to test Raja Muzaffar. While Raja Muzaffar arrived at a place called Beting Beras Basah, his ship stuck and unabled to move. He then called :

Sekongkong Tanah Minangkabau Selilit Pulau Perca Di lengkong ular Saktimuna Perpisahan beta di Selat Melaka Jika sah beta Raja berdaulat Lepaslah sekalian malapetaka.

A jin appeared before him and asked him to threw his crown in the river. Raja Muzaffar was abled to continue his jorney after he done it. Until now, the soon-to-be sultan will not be call Crown Prince as the crown of Raja Muzaffar was taken by the jin and they will visit Beting Beras Basah to recall the historical momment. The jin is actually a friend of Kinta that was asked to help him. The jin was said to guard Perak until now and was called Dato'Mahkota Si Raja Jin.
