**Angela Selander** also more commonly as **Rayna**, is the eldest illegitimate child and daughter between Carina Selander and Yevgeni Belyakov, making her the older sister of Regulus, Oberon, Marcelina, Sunshine, Euler-Carlo and Dipper.

## Appearance

The preferred physical appearance Rayna often takes is of a young woman with long dark olive-green hair, large almond shaped black eyes, no eyebrows, a tiny thin nose, and small lips with her bottom one being larger than the top. Though depending on the mood, slight variations happen in her physical appearance that she does shift from time to time.

Rayna was born with the *Mark of Lilith*, which initially appeared as two dots on her forehead below her hairline. When Rayna manifested her tannin due to the death of her aunt Fiona evolved into something else, with the circle now containing swirls which merge into one another resembling a diamond. She also has metallic green fingernails that are very hard, as she cannot bite into her nails without breaking her teeth.

Like her best friend Eleonora, she is covered in scars due to the Tropaion Tower one across her eyes was when she first won a win in the tower in which she killed for the first time. There are more from her chest towards her back, and on her legs. She is coated in violence. She also has several permeant piercings, an anti-eyebrow, eight in her right, five in her left, her right nostril and septum, a belly button ring and her nipples.

### Tattoos

* Around her right wrist she has a snake eating its own tail, she got it with Jacen when they were in college.
* On her right shoulder she has the Oskoreia tattoo of a spider with twelve legs, she has the number "2" on hers with red roses with black stripes.
* Originally on her right shoulder she had TTS-BB0280 which was branded onto without her consent.
* Her first tattoo was a quote that says "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" in really crappy lettering that blends together and was done in a basement. It is on her mons pubis.
* On Rayna's upper inner right arm, she has a hummingbird trapped in thorns.
* On her left bicep Rayna has "Just as a snake shed it skin, we must shed our past over and over again" which was allegedly by the Buddha.

## Abilities and Skills

* **Lilim Physiology** - Rayna was born to a full Lilim father and a half-Human mother, this makes her a half-Lilim and unlike her siblings who are all half-Human and possessing the *Mark of Lilith* makes her very powerful. She is considered "*black blooded*" by her kin, after fully awakening her mark her nails turned into a metallic green-black nails due to being too young.
	+ **Mana Manipulation** - Rayna was born with extremely low levels of mana, even less than the average non-mana user. As the scars she possesses are due to mana and since she cannot use it or manipulate it, she could never heal those wounds. After seeing Fiona's death and awakening her mark she lost all the mana completely, essentially escaping mana itself and its rules. Like her predecessors Dunya and Fiona, Rayna is completely undetectable without mana and barriers treat her like a building. Infinite Domains also have no effect on Rayna. She cannot be confined to a barrier unless the caster uses an actual structure as the barrier's exterior or she consents.
		- **Telepathic Resistance** - Rayna is highly resistance to telepathic species and individuals described as a "*Brick wall in the middle of an ocean*". Those who attempt to intercept her mind only hear static or see a monstrous darkness causing one of the telepaths on (\*&\*) to have a mental breakdown and attempt suicide.
	+ **Qorban Generation** - The predatory appendage of all Lilim, with Rayna in particular having a dual *Meshe* and *Kavish* that in a vibrating array of vermillion and blue in color. Her kavish can generate four spider-like appendages from her ribcage that devolved towards her lower back, and her meshe can generate a pair of feathery insect-like wings.
		- **Tannin Form** -
		- **Shockwave Manipulation** -
	+ **Shapeshifting** - Due to the *Mark of Lilith*, Rayna is a talented and skilled shapeshifter though she must come into physical contact with another people if she is mimicking another and have a personal object of theirs. In addition to their physical presence, Rayna is also able to touch the mind of a person and access their memories and thoughts when changing, taking on their memories, mannerisms, and abilities.
	+ **Immense Strength** - Rayna has always possessed extraordinarily high levels of strength even for a Lilim. She knocked out Aleksei with a baseball to the face and broke a wooden polearm over her thigh, something no normal person is physically capable of as a child. After awakened the full power of her mark after watching Fiona die, as with all of her physical abilities, Rayna's strength grew tremendously after her mana was completely taken away. It is more than enough to fight back against mana manipulation. Rayna easily broke free from the attack that (\*&\*) hit her with and broke free from (\*&\*)'s paralysis using brute strength and willpower. Compounded with the speed (\*&\*) was approaching her at, the brute strength in Ratna's left hand crippled the right side of her opponent's face to end their fight.
	+ **Immense Speed** - Rayna's speed is truly extraordinary; she was able to easily outrun and avoid (\*&\*)'s attacks when they fought, moving too quickly to be seen. Rayna has incredible speed to match her strength and moves well enough in a fight for her agility to be acknowledged by (\*&\*). She makes sharp moves and stays highly mobile in a fight with great precision.
	+ **Superhuman Agility** - Rayna's most notable display is her agility; being able to do various flips, fast leaps and scaling ceilings, she's also shown doing a kip-up back into a standing position as well.
	+ **Superhuman Regeneration** - As demonstrated when she was cut by (\*&\*) early in their battle, Rayna showed a remarkable regenerative factor. In only a matter of moments, gaping wounds were sealed up, leaving her none the worse for the wear. Even being bisected by (\*&\*) failed to keep her down as it took only a few minutes for her to pull herself back together, much to (\*&\*)'s complete and utter surprise with Rayna remarking that her body is much sturdier than most would believe. According to Yevgeni, Rayna's healing factor is particularly the mirror image of his mother Dunya.
	+ **Somatic Senses** - Rayna has exceptionally good sense of touch, allowing her to detect specific persons, objects, substances or even places, locate their origin and track with nothing but the tip of their fingers. She may even be able to detect the thinnest crack on anything that is invisible to the naked eye. Rayna is able to sense vibrations through solid substances, liquids or even the air-pressure changes.
	+ **Acidic Blood** - Rayna like others born with *Mark of Lilith* have acidic blood. While the blood in Rayna was far less potent than that of Ruedian, it was still capable of corroding metal, glass, plastics and other materials over time.
* **Expert Combatant** - Rayna is well trained in several forms of close-quarters combat and generally uses hand-to-hand in tandem with her weaponry. While her hands are generally occupied fighting with weapons, Rayna likes to throw kicks at the same time. In moments when she has *Whitman Fever*, she pretty much kills anything in sight.
* **Master Weapons Specialist** -
