And? I think by this point she is more of the Yagami family than the Rinaldi family. The last one doesn't even show up to say "good luck" to her and so far we see she does hang around a lot with the Yagamis so I say she should be one of them.

She's not a part of the Yagami family. She doesn't even live with them. Even having dinner at their place was a special invitation. It's just like all the other families of the main cast, they're simply not introduced because, well, let's face it, all they'd be is "random parent A B and C" and we'd get all sorts of complaints about them "taking up screentime." Which is a bad thing in my opinion, since knowing the parents helps develop characters, but you play with the cards you're dealt, and the Nanoha franchise has a tendency not to introduce parents unless they're involved with the plot. Nanoha's an exception because her family already existed in the original triangle hearts game, but let's count:
We still know nothing about Alicia's/Fate's father. Chrono's father wasn't introduced until A's, where he became a plotpoint. Hayate's parents? Nothing. Erio's parents were seen for five seconds and then went poof. Caro was with her tribe, but we don't even know which of the people are her parents, or if they're even among them. Teana's parents? We know more about her brother. Who was plot relevant. Lutecia? Nope, just her mother. Not a word about her father. And Vivid continues this trend. Rio? Corona? Einhard? (boy, that d'll take some time getting used to) Harry? Victoria? Sieg? Shante? Barrier girl? Witch girl? Parents are just never mentioned in Nanoha unless they're relevant to the plot. Doesn't mean the characters don't have them. Oh, and even if she were adopted by the Yagami's, characters in Nanoha still have a tendency to use their original family name if they had one. Erio's still Erio Mondial, Caro's still Lu Rushe, even Fate introduces herself as "Testarossa Harlaown." So she'd still be Miura Rinaldi. Maybe adding Yagami after that, tops. |

I think you take it a little too far. I was saying that she might be a Yagami for all we know, is not that she has to be a Yagami or even I care what her name is. Was a little joke with her no mention parents and the fact she hangs around with the Yagamis a bit too much. So she might as well just get in that family because her own is just nowhere around. That was the joke I made.
I will give you that we don’t need to see the parents as characters because the daughters already fill the screen with too many faces, but I don’t think is that hard just to say “my parents let me come here” for that matter Corona and Rio does have parents because Nanoha, or Fate I don’t remember right, say after the trip she will take them home and ask their parents for permission to go to the Alpine’s household. Still wondering about Einhard’s by the way (I prefer the other name. Can’t we just agree to keep “Einhart”? The new one is odd). And about introducing parents this franchise just doesn’t think is important. Some are related to the plot some aren’t and they are still mention… I think Hayate’s die in a car accident but I don’t know, could read it in a fanfic and not the actual story. And you forget Vivio, she was adopted and take “Takamachi” as her last name. But I get your point, in any case it could be anything to be fair. So she could be Miura Yagami, I don't think is imposible, but she is Rinaldi.

Ayup, I do. I love debating. And so do you, given how you could have said "I know, I was joking" the first time RD told you she wasn't adopted. But you wanted to turn it into a debate on whether it was possible or not, so here we are.
