**Raine Emily Rowena Pikeman** (née **Falcon**) (b. 26 August, 1981) is an English half-blood witch, the second child and younger daughter of Tarrlok and Noatak Falcon (née Avery), and the younger sister of Skyler Falcon. She is the wife of Evelyn Pikeman, the mother of Aries, Nora, and Luna Pikeman and the sister-in-law of Nathara Prince-Slytherin and Aurora Pikeman.

Due to her being Sorted into Gryffindor as opposed to her older sister being in Slytherin, this put her at a little animosity between Skyler, despite the two being closer when they were younger. The two sisters got into an argument a few days after the Sorting, which ended with Skyler saying that at Hogwarts, Raine wasn't her sister.

Following her graduation from Hogwarts, Raine married Evelyn, gaining a sister-in-law out of Aurora and Nathara, who she already saw as the sisters she always wanted. In the four years after her wedding, Raine gave birth to two children, Nora December and Aries January Pikeman. Two years after Nora was born, Raine had another daughter, Luna Eevi Pikeman.

## Biography

### Early life (1981-1992)

Raine Emily Rowena Falcon was born to Tarrlok and Noatak Falcon on the 26th of August 1981 on the cusp of 2 A.M. She had one older sister, Skyler Falcon.

Raine grew up having a close relationship with Skyler

## Hogwarts Years

Raine started Hogwarts with a little trepidation. Her older sister looked at her from the Slytherin table, giving her a look that said 'You better be in Slytherin or something bad will happen'. Unfortunately, Skyler didn't get her wish and Raine was Sorted into Gryffindor instead. A few days later, Skyler and Raine got into an argument that lead to Skyler disowning Raine as her sister during their tenure at Hogwarts. This lead Raine to burst into tears and run off, leaving her older sister alone in the hallway.

### Second Year

During her second year, Raine continued to bond with Evelyn over the fact that they were victims of Skyler's bullying. The two of them also received tutoring in spells from Nathara Prince-Slytherin, the most popular girl in school.

### Third Year

By her third year, Raine became more outgoing and embraced her Gryffindor side.

### Fifth Year

In their fifth year, Evelyn asked Raine on a date to Hogsmeade, and she accepted. Charmed by Evelyn's personality and their many similarities, Raine started dating her. When she came out to her parents about her sexuality, they were more than accepting and supported her in every way.

Evelyn asked Raine to be her girlfriend, and she happily accepted before embracing her tightly.

### Sixth year

During her sixth year, Raine snapped at Skyler, who was shocked that her sister would speak to her like this.

## Later life

After graduating from Hogwarts, Evelyn proposed to Raine and she accepted happily. The two girls were later married on Yule 2007, with most of their family and friends attending the wedding. However, even though she was invited, Raine's older sister, Skyler, absolutely refused to attend the wedding or act as one of her bridesmaids. So, Nathara acted as her bridesmaid with her son and daughters, Kiara, Karone, and Andros, who were four and seven respectively, acting as the flower girls and ring bearer.

Two years after marrying, Raine got pregnant and gave birth to their first child, Aries January Pikeman, who was born in 2009. Two years after Aries was born, Raine gave birth to another daughter, Nora December Evelyn Pikeman, born in 2011. In the year of 2013, Raine had another baby, Luna Eevi Pikeman.

## Physical appearance

"*Raine Falcon; second only to Professor Prince-Slytherin's daughter in beauty. Both of them could be mistaken for sisters if they had the same hair color, but it's always those eyes.*"
— A summary of Raine's beauty

    Raine was an extremely beautiful woman who was the carbon copy of the late Liliana Potter I, mother to Harry Potter. She had light auburn red hair that fell below her shoulders and stunning green eyes that when reflected in the right light, shone like jade. Her smile was endearing to everyone who met her, leading to her popularity skyrocketing in her first few weeks of Hogwarts; much to the jealousy of her sister Skyler. Compared to Skyler, most of the students thought that she was the better one; mostly because Raine doesn't hex first and ask questions later.

Usually, Raine wore her hair down unless she was working, busy with her children, or was in the mood for a ponytail.

## Personality

"*I've had quite enough of this prejudice, thank you! All of you should be ashamed of yourselves! Just because Voldemort is gone now, doesn't mean that he won't return someday, and when he does, all of us should be working together to defeat him! You label students, children no older than eleven years old that their futures are set in stone; yet you get to decide the next chapter in your stories. I may be a Gryffindor, but I'm the daughter of a Ravenclaw and Slytherin. One of my closest friends is a Slytherin, yet almost all of you adore her: Nathara Prince-Slytherin. She's the embodiment that Hogwarts needs: Caring and loyal, brave, smart and wise, cunning and ambitious. If you want an example of snakes wearing a lion's skin, then look at the Marauders. Unless you want students to start thinking *SUICIDE* is the best way to escape their torment, then I suggest you all clean up your acts.*"
— Raine standing up for the Slytherins

Unlike Skyler, who was brash and tough, Raine was selfless, brave, and gentle, trying to be a good role model to her fellow Gryffindors. She was aware of how favored the Gryffindors were, so, in an act of tremendous courage, Raine called the whole school out on their prejudice to Slytherin house. It was this act of courage that earned her the respect of Slytherin, with Nathara declaring her an honorary snake.

After this, when she confronted her sister, Raine stood tall and firm, a fire in her eyes that only a Gryffindor could have.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Falcon family

Raine had a happy home life and a close relationship with her parents. Raine initially had a close relationship with Skyler, whom she often played with. When Raine was Sorted into Gryffindor,, Skyler was "*torn between resentment and disapproval*".

Her sister was disdainful of the friendship Raine struck up with Aurora Pikeman, the witch who was abused at home. In turn, Aurora was quite insulting to Skyler for being a bully.

Skyler became very bitter and jealously deemed her sister a "know-it-all", even saying that their separation would be better for her sanity. Their relationship deteriorated greatly and become distant afterward, especially after they dated and eventually married very different women. However, even as an adult, Skyler resented that her sister was Sorted into Gryffindor and didn't agree with her views on blood purity, and took out her enmity on her three eldest children and nieces.

Raine eventually became estranged from her sister, and only had contact with her through Nathara.

#### Evelyn Pikeman

**Nathara Prince-Slytherin** : "*I'm glad you two got together, Raine. And it's about time if you ask me.*"
**Raine**: "*Thank you..*"
**Aurora Pikeman**: "*Same. As long as you treat each other right, I approve. Especially since you two have so much in common.*"
— Nathara and Aurora approve of Raine dating Evelyn.
    Raine's relationship with Evelyn Pikeman was initially a comfortable one. They first met on the Hogwarts Express just before the start of their first year at Hogwarts, at which time Raine was charmed by Evelyn's personality. Although Evelyn was a talented Charms student and well-liked by most, Raine considered her to be smart, brave, and loyal.
By her fifth year, Evelyn started to have romantic feelings for Raine and kept trying to work up the courage to ask her out. It is not known whether she tried to ask her out more than once before nerves got to her. It seems that, by that time, Evelyn had grown more confident in herself and embraced her inner Gryffindor.     By her fifth year, Raine eventually began going out with Evelyn and grew to fall in love with her as well. The two had similar positions in Hogwarts as prefects. Shortly after their graduation, Raine got married. They eventually had two children, Aries January and Nora December Evelyn Pikeman. Her Patronus took the shape of a eagle, while her wife's was a wolf.
