-Raina The Lightbringer

### **Appearance:**

Raina is a fairly slender elvish woman of 119 years with an obvious love of blues. She is a little shorter than average and built for speed rather than strength. Her features are warm and easily graced by a friendly smile or laugh. Her eyes are the beautiful greenish blue of the sea she learned to love. She prefers to wear practical and comfortable clothing that can withstand getting a bit of dirt on them as she is often hard at work on one project or another.

### **Personality**

She is a kind and quiet soul who tends to see the best in others. This leads her to being overly trusting in people who may or may not be worthy of it. She is entirely devoted to the well being of her friends and found family and puts their needs before her own. She is very much the sort of person to wait and watch others, gathering information on how they feel about things before making choices on how she will react. For all her smiles she often uses them as a mask to hide her many anxieties and doubts from others, just in case they think she would be unwilling to help them with their own problems.

## **Significant Events**

### **Young Life**

Raina was originally from a small province named Kyrnavandor in Valguero. Her brother was the king of their people, and she was content to live in his shadow for the rest of her life. He was the perfectly bred high elf her parents had always wanted. She was just another failure they wanted to cull until he saved her from death and raised her himself. But.. It was an easy existence, being overlooked and of low value to those around her. It let her have her freedoms to explore and learn the ways of the wild and make friends with people her brother would not have approved of.

Like the goblins of Thornbush. Naz, who she gave her heart to. Fizz, who became a brother. And Mauve, who became a mentor and guide. The wise goblin witch had told her of her mission to save Thra by cleansing the heart crystals when they first met. Raina being Raina immediately offered to help and has been dedicated to Thra ever since. Mauve also taught her that she was capable of more than anything she could have ever dreamed. They became a second family to her, a second home. They faced many challenges together and grew and lived. She fell in love, lost her brother, became queen, encountered poachers, helped save her mentor, helped heal Thra, gained new friends and even found a new family in the Kinsfolk where she learned it was okay to just be who she wanted to be. Together they all faced not only a demon named Mr. L but their friends who had been forced into his “family”.

In the end… they won. It was hard fought and stressful, but they did it and they made it home. Allurah offered Raina and Orwin a place with them and both accepted. United they faced their last threat, Cassia. Though they had very little time to celebrate their victory over the threat. When they returned to the pit they realized Fizz was missing and had been launched from the canon he had been working on. So the search began.

Kinsfolk left on a ship with rumors of a pirate captain in a distant land. Fizz had been missing for years at this point, and they had traveled many lands in an attempt to track him down. This was just the newest rumor that they were following. Thortuxx had decided to move away with Calypso over a year ago. Thok deservingly settled down in the pit with Velviara, burying his sword in a hidden place. Xhul had broken off to travel the land and perhaps find his lost companion, Azul. Pix Pax continued his farming and did not want to follow into 'big scary adventures'. Kai had returned to the depths a while ago.

**Further Life**

Allurah led Aakt, Kitto, Raina, Naz, Orwin aboard a ship with new hope. A newly found Minnow, a merfolk that followed Allurah home one day for a meal and never left, as well as Xen'lu, a tabaxi that claimed to have met Xhul on his travels and wanted to join the tightly knitted group, accompanied them.

The most recent days at sea brought them close to a pair of brothers, Thoradin and Barrowdar, who claimed to be master armor and weapon smiths. On the ship it was all talk, with Aakt continuously challenging their claims. The mismatched group of individuals were optimistic as they sighted the land of Tor Visertia.

They were able to find Fizz just a little after getting off the ship, though they had to stay for the duration of their contract with the third expedition. Reunited once again the Kinsfolk claimed one of the islands and made their home, temporary though it was. After two years apart Raina was also reunited with the love of her life Naz, though now he was the leader of the Hunts Marshall. She threw herself into proving her skills and learning the wild magic of the land. Druidism allowed her a deeper connection with Thra, who she and kitto were both still dedicated too. Raina also became close to another Djinn by the name of Nymos, the storyteller and a mischievous friend that the little elf cherished greatly.

Their time was not without its dangers though. First they faced a threat from a group called Dimmorrow, and very narrowly escaped a war when Orwin killed their leader at a great personal cost to himself. Shortly after her demise another threat called the Enclave showed itself, stealing people from their homes and experimenting on several people. Raina and Ada were both in that unfortunate number, though the experimentation did make her a stronger druid. Not long after they were officially at war with Mathias and his goons. Never one for combat, the elf embraced what little she knew of healing and assisted Kitto wherever he needed her and supported the other people of the third expedition. All the while earning her place at Naz’s side as the lieutenant hunts marshall and helping to keep the less glamorous parts of their guild running. Somehow the two managed to find a few peaceful moments for themselves and even got engaged.

She made new friends, reunited with old ones, and lost others but after a long struggle they finally won their war and wiped out the enclave. With the funding gone the expedition was allowed to leave the lands filled with so many awful memories, and a few good ones. So they returned home to Valguero, Kinsfolk and the close friends they had made along the way.

They rested for a while, enjoying being home before a small group set off to Fjordur. These were the lands where Naz had first met the wyvern that had hunted him back to Tor Visteria and that Thortuxx and Calypso had settled in for a while. Those two, Naz and Raina, Barrowdar and Grey whisper all left to establish their various projects in the new lands. Naz and Raina heading the wild wardens to help correct the broken balance he had observed while hunting the wyvern.
