Whirlwind Rayne

Rayne Marian (alias Whirlwind) is the protagonist of the titular game Whirlwind. A professional wrestler hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, Rayne spends the majority fighting in the ring to provide money for her and her boyfriend, as well as further push the limits of her physical capabilities.
Rayne is the first character created by Pyro Enterprises to be native to the New Fantendoverse rather than their own original IP lineup in the form of the Pyroverse. This was done to create a somewhat more grounded world in spite of the over-the-top nature of the character, as well as to provide interaction with other primary Fantendoverse characters.
==Personality==
Rayne's personality can be boiled down to "loud and boisterous", even outside the context of her career in the ring. She tends to throw her emotions out on full display, cheering ecstatically when happy and venting her frustrations through very physical means. She's very much an optimist, believing in herself and using that source of determination as a source of motivation when a situation seems impossible. Often times, however, her inability to make subtle statements or hide her emotions makes her blurt out information that she has not fully formed mentally, and makes her bad at interacting with others when flustered.
Though she always presents the above qualities, Rayne tends to play up her aggressive and playful tendencies when in a match, creating the keyfabe that is "Whirlwind Rayne". It should be noted that she retains her optimistic self under the mask, which has lead to her favor by most crowds and her position as a face wrestler within the league proper.
Though she doesn't consider herself a traditional romantic by any means, Rayne adores her boyfriend and manager Keaton, who she currently lives with in Boston. Rayne remarks that their relationship is one based out of "tough love", potentially being connected to her tendency to show emotion in a playful physical manner, but remarks she truly does love him for everything he has done to help her.
==Description==
Rayne is a young adult African-American woman with deep brown hair and eyes, notable for her height and heavy musculature. Her hair is naturally curly, and is often seen tied up in a small ponytail. When fighting in the ring, she often styles this hair with yellow streaks to match her costume. Being raised in Boston most of her life, she speaks with the associated accent.
The clothing most associated with Rayne is her Whirlwind costume, almost always worn when fighting in the ring. This gear consists of a latex tanktop and mask alongside a pair of grey sweatpants, fingerless gloves, and boots. She commonly wears a belt with a small golden buckle on it, which she seems to use as "motivation" to obtain real championship belts. When not in the ring, Rayne wears more comfortable, flowy clothing such as sweatshirts and jeans, though she states that sweaters are some of her favorite outfits when the weather enables their use.
==Abilities==
Rayne's greatest abilities are her immense strength and skill in wrestling, combining moves and skills from American-style, Japanese-style, and lucha libre wrestling to create her own unique style. Through both training and natural strength, she is often strong enough to lift competitors over her head with ease.
Her most unique skill comes from her strange, potentially superhuman ability to create large amounts of rotational force in her body, a power contributing to her stage name "Whirlwind". By moving quickly and gaining momentum, Rayne becomes able to amplify the power of her attacks by spinning violently, akin to a drill. This is often combined with her suplex moves in order to increase their power and impact.

==Trivia==
*Rayne's initial design concept and inspiration stemmed from the Suplex copy ability from Kirby Star Allies and Incineroar's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, leading to the initial concept of a game focused entirely around similar grabs and throws. This ultimately resulted in the creation of a game centered around this concept in the form of Whirlwind.
