context_page_description: Rayne, sometimes called Agent BloodRayne or simply the Dhampir, is a fictional character in the BloodRayne series of video games. Created by Majesco Entertainment, she is the series' titular protagonist, appearing in both games and later extended media, such as comic books and films related to the series. In English she is voiced by Laura Bailey in BloodRayne and BloodRayne 2, and Jessie Seely in BloodRayne: Betrayal; in Japanese she is voiced by Romi Park in BloodRayne. She was portrayed by Kristanna Loken in the first live action film, and by Natassia Malthe for its sequels.
context_section_description: Electronic Gaming Monthly featured Rayne in their "Art of Gaming" special, noting her popularity and attractiveness; however, in a later article they decried her appearance in Playboy, stating that further similar exhibitions would damage how the public perceived the character. In G4's 2005 Video Game Vixens, Rayne was nominated for "Sexiest Finish" and awarded "Most Dangerous Curves". She was named as one of the 50 "greatest female characters in video game history" by Tom's Games in 2005, as well as the 50 "greatest heroines in video game history" by Complex in 2013.
  UGO.com described her as "epitome of a video game hottie," placing her fourth on their list of the top 11 "video game heroine hotties" and praising both her appearance and abilities, later and listed as one of the top 50 "videogame hotties" at number twenty with similar sentiments. She also placed 11th in UGO's list of the "Top 50 Sexiest Vampires", which noted that while she represented a negative aspect of video games in 2002, a "scantily-clad heroine in a graphically violent third-person adventure", her feature in Playboy despite not being real meant "they did something right", and ranked eighth in their list of "the most badass vampire slayers". GameDaily ranked her 12th on their list of the top 50 "hottest game babes", stating "[T]he only thing sexier than a female vampire is [one] that kills Nazis," also listing her as one of their favorite red-haired females related to video games. Complex listed her as the 17th hottest video game character in 2012, and Thanh Niên ranked her as the eighth most sexy female character in 2015. Several other lists have featured her in a similar context, such as those by Team Xbox and Spike TV in 2008.
