## Personality

Rayne is very cautious of her surroundings and the people she associates with. She wakes up an amnesiac, clutching a kitchen knife. She finds it difficult to trust others, but in Episode 4, she attempts to help Alexander find his parents. In the beginning of the series, she is wide-eyed and disbelieving of the apocalypse, but as the series goes on, her gaze changes from being wide-eyed to more calculating. This has been jokingly speculated in the comments to be a "lost of innocence."

## Appearance

In Episode 1, Rayne has flowy dark purple hair, with a magenta underside. Her hair is waist-length with bangs. In Episode 7, her hair is chopped off by Alexander to just above shoulder length. In Episodes 1 - 9, her outfit (her former school uniform as shown in Episode 63) is a collared top, dark pleated skirt that hits mid-thigh, knee-high socks, casual sneakers and tie. On her right, she has two light pink hairpins, one of the most consistent she wears throughout the series.

After Alexander's death, Rayne has white bandages wrapped around her neck due to her injuries. She wears Samael's black and yellow varsity jacket, its shoulder pads lined with spikes, with "P" on the jacket's left in yellow. She wears a white spaghetti-strap top underneath.

In Season 2, Rayne is shown with a long straight and messy wolf cut with only one of her pink hairpins and wearing a light purple mesh crop top with a black cropped tank top with the straps joined with metal rings and garter straps at the front, black baggy cargo-style pants with 2 white lines at the sides and a silver button at the front and cargo style black boots as well as occasionally a white backpack to carry her belongings.

## Story

In Episode 1, Rayne wakes up on a rooftop, holding a kitchen knife. She doesn't remember anything, even her own name. Samael is a boy who finds her on the rooftop and explains that the world has been in an apocalypse for the last three months. While initially disbelieving, the world below is abandoned and littered with corpses and Rayne accepts Samael's help. She learns that Murks will only attack if eye contact is made, as seen when a rat is devoured.

They reach Samael's home, and start to settle down and rest. However, during their slumber, a mysterious black figure approaches Rayne, whispering into her ear. The next day, Rayne disappears and leaves behind a letter to Samael, expressing how she feels she should no longer bother him. She's alone, entering the dangerous world of the apocalypse.

## Relationships

### Samael Keene

Samael was the first person Rayne encountered when she woke up. She was suspicious of him, but eventually caved in and accepts his help. She takes shelter in his base, but eventually leaves the house after writing a letter to Samael about how she did not want to bother him any longer. However it is later revealed that it was because she was wary of Samael, and did not trust him enough to rely on him.

However, Samael reappears once more during Rayne's fight with Alexander, by wrapping a chain around Alexander's neck and saving Rayne's life. Rayne then feels indebted to Samael, and vows to protect him and his cat Ogre with her life. She managed to convince Samael to let her join their team.

Rayne accompanies Samael on his scavenges, and when they arrive at a store, she meets Kenny Luckstar, and which apparently is Samael's cousin. But as they weren't looking, their truck gets stolen by Kenny, and due to a bypassing murk, they're forced to lock themself in a room and wait it out. Samael falls sick and passes out, and in response Rayne takes care of him by placing a wet cloth over his head and staying by his side as he rests.

Samael wakes up, but their hideout is interrupted by a mysterious white man, who paralyses them with needles. They wake up tied back to chairs, facing a gang of people, including Kenny. They are given two choices; join their gang, or face the consequences of saying "no". In the heat of the moment. Rayne blurts out to ask if she agrees, they will let Samael go. In response, the Boss orders Gressil to bring them to their rooms, where they will stay. Rayne and Samael are separated into different rooms, with no way to contact one another.

### Ogre

Rayne meets Ogre in Samael's base, and she adores Ogre's appearance, and complains about how "Ogre" is a horrible name for an adorable creature. She tries to pet him, but Ogre hisses and swipes her hand away. Rayne is flustered as Ogre jumps into Samael's arms and deviously glares at her.

### **Tomoha Kobayashi**

Rayne meets Tomoha when Rayne is escorted to the "girls" room. A face of shock and pained joy is grows on Tomoha's face as she catches sight of Rayne, and goes up to hug Rayne, as if they were friends. Tomoha hints that she has met Rayne before, saying things like "you're back!" With no knowledge of who Tomoha is, Rayne questions Tomoha's words, and the look of joy crumples from Tomoha's face. Tomoha turns and apologises, saying she got the wrong person. Something about Tomoha's actions suggests that she knows more than she admits to, like at the end of the chapter, when she is alone in a room and sighs, muttering "I'm glad you're back, Rayne". Tomoha has been presumed to be Rayne's best friend, before Rayne lost her memories and woke up on a rooftop. There is also several moments of tension between them hinting at a romantic a romantic relationship.

Tomoha and Rayne sleep in the same bed, and when they wake, they are approached by Gressil, and are forced to follow him. They go to the outside, and are lead up a bridge. They gag in disgust when they see dismembered bodies floating on murky water stained red by the blood of the dead.

### Kenny Luckstar

Rayne first meets Kenny in the abandoned grocery store, pointing a gun at Samael. Rayne's first encounter is when she kicks Kenny in the crotch, in attempt to save Samael. However, Rayne later feels flustered at the misunderstanding, and Samael states Kenny is his cousin. Despite the explanation, Rayne acts stubborn and bickers with Kenny, until she and Kenny are forced by Samael to apologise to each other. After their bond begins to grow, Kenny suddenly leaves, taking Samael's car keys with him.

Rayne encounters Kenny once more, when they wake up from their slumber after Gladiolus ambushed them. Eventually, Rayne goes her separate ways into the girl's room, and stays with Tomoha.

### Boss

Rayne wakes up in a dark room with Samael, after being kidnapped by Gladiolus, and sees Boss. He tries to make a deal with Rayne and Samael, suggesting they join his gang, without giving them much of an option to decline. Rayne eventually offers to join the gang, only if they would let Samael go. Unfortunately, her wishes were not granted, and the Boss forced them to stay.

Rayne meets Boss again
