Ragina

Ragina is a character in *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One,*a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour.* She has strong magic and is considered by many to be evil, but has shown to work against corruption and greed when it suits her purpose. Her methods can be harsh, and she thinks nothing of using seduction or murder to get what she wants. She claims to be one of the most powerful people on the planet. She is taller than most women.

Ragina was a lead in Volume 1, appearing in nine of the thirteen episodes. She is currently recurring, showing back up for the premiere and final five episodes of Volume 2. She did not appear in Volume 3, although she does have a mole embedded in the group during that run.

## **Early Life**

When Ragina was 17, her mother, whom Ragina looked like, died. She never met her father, and was given to the custody of her mother's brother, Rufus Reginald Rochester ("Ragina"). However, Rufus was an absentee parent, distracted and often gone on missions for his employer. He told Ragina he worked for a museum, but was a member of the secret organization known as the U.L.P. It is likely she knew or suspected Rufus' real work by at least late 2013, but didn't confront him with the knowledge, though she gave him opportunity to confess ("Gather 'Round the Fire").

Ragina figured this out and found the world of magic and monsters on her own. She grew to be quite formidable, and to despise the U.L.P., believing it to be corrupt. Ragina's allegiance is to Kali, known to some as the Ultimate Evil, though Ragina insists that neither she nor Kali are evil. She had many adventures in the few years before the series began, including learning more than thirty uses for demon blood, though her uncle didn't know of it ("Team Work").

## **Team Chosen One**

Ten years after Rufus adopted her, Ragina came to Brightside in order to reunite with her uncle, or so she said ("Ragina"). Actually, she was on a mission to seduce Daniel Kravitz and convince him to help her bring down the U.L.P., which she had been planning for about a year before-hand. She wanted to use Daniel to get more specifics about the U.L.P., including how to get to their base ("State of Disbelief").

Ragina tried to befriend, Abby, too, though that was less successful. Ragina did say the one thing she always admired about Abby was her tenacity.

Her ruse worked for a while, as she and Daniel became romantically involved, and according to Ragina, the sex was fantastic ("Pit of Despair"). However, two of Ragina's minions, Fizzybibbit and Wanda the Witch, made a grave error when they nearly killed Abby Reynolds, ruining any chance of Daniel joining their cause ("The Body"). In the end, Ragina was run out of Brightside ("A Family Affair").

By this time, connected people around the world began to know of Ragina and she had a reputation for working with the Ultimate Evil ("They're Back!").

## **Attack on the U.L.P.**

Her betrayal deeply hurt her uncle, who spent months searching for her, but she remained out of sight. She resurfaced once she was sure Daniel and his friends would fight against the U.L.P., saving most of the group when the U.L.P. sent monsters to attack Kravitz Antiques and dd a fair amount of gloating about how she was right concerning the organization. She convinced Daniel's team to allow her to help them take down the U.L.P, though they kept her at arm's length ("Attack on the Homestead").

During her temporary re-join, she told the group about Daniel's ability to enact the legendary Disappearing Retreat. When the mentors expressed disbelief and confusion, she briefly took over Daniel's training to school him in the ways of his ancient, magical powers ("The Safe House"). She was semi-successful, as Daniel was able to do a Stun Wave shortly thereafter ("Pit of Despair"), and by the following year, Daniel was able to purposefully enact them when he chose.

Ragina expressed continued romantic interest in Daniel during this time, especially after finding out that he'd broken up with Abby. But it is unknown if she was sincere, and he showed no interest. ("The Safe House," "On a Boat"). Ragina once said Alexis Augustus Armentrout was "kind of cute" but that she'd break him in half ("The Safe House").

She also took the time to reconnect with her Uncle Rufus, who she knew had been looking for her, and admitted he'd come close a couple of times. She said that he was the only family left, so she kept tabs on him, and thought she'd miss him if he died. She also asked Rufus not to force her to kill him ("On a Boat").

Although Ragina said she would help Daniel and the group, she slipped away from them when they reached the U.L.P. base, remaining outside to enact a spell to bring down the building and crumple the strongest metal known to man, not caring if Daniel and the others were still instead ("Into the Darkness"). She was delayed by Abby Reynolds, and so many people escaped, although Ragina did succeed in toppling the building.

Before fleeing herself, Ragina murdered the heads of the U.L.P., Cyril Davies and Rupert Pryce, by snapping their neck. Ragina was also stabbed by Abby, but still managed to get away ("Pit of Despair").

## **Ragina and the New U.L.P.**

Rather than making herself known, Ragina planted Kai Akane as a mole in the first group of recruits that the new U.L.P. added. It is unknown what her intentions were, but she did have Kai set up a spell that would suck all the residents of the ranch into a video game. Not-Josh Wallace sabotaged the spell, and only four people were (temporarily) caught in the trap ("Ready Player Chosen One").

## **Trivia**

* This part was developed for Amanda based on her audition for Rufus.
* Amanda left the troupe at the end of Volume 2. She was invited to reprise Ragina for the *Packer & Ratcliff* anniversary special "The Pursuit of Packer," which would have been her sole Volume 3 appearance, but was unable to attend, and so the character was left out of the script.
