Raine Delcorral

**Raine DelCorral**

History

Aimon Delcorral was born exactly three years after his older brother Brenden, whilst Brenden had been the result of an affair on their mothers part Aimon was the first child the couple had had together in an effort to save their marriage from ruin. As the only biological child of an upper-class family, Aimon was held to a much higher standard than his brother due to their parents need to protect their image amongst the elite of Waiheke Island, New Zealand. Aimon grew up with pressures that very few would understand and the knowledge that one day he would inherit one of the most internationally known wineries in New Zealand. He relied heavily on his brother throughout his younger years in order to keep from buckling under the weight of it all that was up until his brother disappeared. As it turned out the random man that their mother had an affair with was actually a greek god, Phorcys. It was decided that the best place for Brenden would be in America where he could train to protect himself and no harm would come to the family. Aimon was in his late twenties before he saw his brother again and by that point he already had his degree in Marine Biology, a move that had only been made in order to keep his parents from cutting him off financially, and had completed his masters and was well on the way to getting his doctorate too. As much as the reunion had been awkward it wasn't strained, they'd kept in touch whilst Brenden had been away so he was perfectly aware of what his brother had been through in order to come home again.

It was a few years later before Aimon met Keto. He'd been whale watching in Kaikoura when he'd come across a woman he was certain he'd never seen on these trips before. After introducing himself to her he treated her as he would any other pretty tourist interested in spending time with him however this one was different, whereas most always seemed to end up as a hookup he found himself getting alone insanely well with her opening up to this complete stranger about his childhood, his family, about what he wanted in life. He wasn't to know that all these things would lead to his life changing quite as much as it did. He wasn't to know that this summer fling that he deeply wished would turn into more would end with him raising three daughters.

The Delcorral triplets were always a force to be reckoned with. The youngest, Ellie, was reckless. There wasn't any daredevil stunt that she wouldn't be willing to try. Marlowe was a whirlwind of energy never stopping for more than a moment and Raine, the eldest, was as stubborn as they came. They grew up in the care of their father and their uncle completely lacking in any sort of female role models in their life. It was this that many came to blame their wild nature upon.

They knew from a young age that they weren't normal children. Once they were old enough to understand why Uncle Brendon was training them to fight they were told everything. About the gods, about who their mother was, about what their life was going to be like. For the longest time Raine struggled with all of it. As a young child she'd always been the best she could be, the best behaved, the best at schooling. As the eldest she always thought that was her job so when she found out she wasn't the best at mythology, when she found out she wasn't the best at fighting she really struggled.

It took her much longer to find her weapon than it did her siblings. She went through a large variety of weapons from bows to daggers, spears to axes until finally in one of the few moments where their mother decided to assist in her parent duties, she took pity on her daughter sending down what appeared to be a regular barrel clasp charm bracelet. She'd tried to seem appreciative of it when she'd come back from dinner to find it sitting on her pillow she really had but what use was a bracelet? It wasn't the most practical thing to wear into battle, she put it into her jewelry box under the pretense of wanting to keep the gift from her mother safe but by morning she'd practically forgotten about it. That was, until it appeared on her pillow again later that day. It still wasn't enough for her to do much more than glance at it before she dumped it back in the box. It took four more days of it when clearly her mother had gotten sick of her ignoring the gift appearing on her pillow choosing to instead make it appear around one of the arrows she'd just shot into the target. She had no other option but to slide the bracelet on to keep it safe.

By the time they'd returned to the house for dinner she'd almost entirely forgotten about the bracelet. In fact it became something of a stress relief over the next few days, it took her another three before she accidentally opened the catch. She'd been fiddling with it whilst she'd tried to make herself listen to Uncle Brendon rattle on about some greek myth or another. Needless to say she woke up pretty quickly when the bracelet clattered to the floor at her feet as a rapier. It had taken them a fair amount of time to figure out twisting the end of the handle was what sent it back into bracelet form but Raine couldn't care less. She'd finally found her weapon. It became much easier for her after that, she learnt how to fight as well as any huntress, she learnt how to defend those she cared about from harm and most importantly. She learnt how to deal with the aftermath.

Her life became a mix of trying to stay ontop of school work whilst fighting off whatever monster decided to come their way and there was quite a few. The first had appeared when they were just kids themselves, the nine year olds had been out training when the Telekhines attacked them. Their uncle had swept them to the side stepping between them and danger. The monster stood no chance. The attacks after that were constant they could never really catch a break for more than a month or so but their father refused to let them leave for camp. He couldn't lose them like he'd lost his brother, it had taken them just too long to reunite and even now their relationship wasn't the same as it had been. It couldn't be. He could never understand the things Brendon had seen and done, he wouldn't be able to understand what his daughters would go through either.

They probably would have continued on with life the way they had if the INSERT MONSTER HERE hadn't attacked them nearly destroying the family winery shortly after their twelth birthday. It had taken all four of them to get rid of it but not before it had caused more damage than any of them could have predicted and injured Raine pretty badly. It had been this that finally made their father accept that they had to go for both their safety and everyone else's.

It was decided that Brendon would take them whilst Aimon stayed to sort out the mess. It broke his heart to leave them so soon but he couldn't get into camp and there was so much to take care of there already. The trip wasn't an easy one. The flight to America was bumpy, clearly some celestial being was having a bad day and the car they hired to get to camp never quite made it that far. They were almost there when they found their path blocked by Scythian Dracanae. Brendan automatically swerved to avoid them sending the car tumbling over itself into a ditch. Other than a few bumps and bruises they managed to get out of the wreckage relatively unscathed but that was the least of their problems. The one Scythian Dracanae had been joined by others and as good at fighting as their uncle was, he was still a man. He fell almost instantly under their spell. They had raced to help him but too late, he was killed before any of them could react quick enough.

Raine doesn't remember much about the moments after watching her Uncle killed in front of her. She remembers being frozen in place as Ellie ran towards the monsters screaming something that she was just too in shock to hear. She remembers Marlowe following quickly behind her hammer raised ready to fight. But she doesn't remember unclasping her bracelet. She doesn't remember feeling the handle of her rapier in her hand. And she certainly doesn't remember the way they tore into those monsters without a hint of mercy. The next thing she does remember is staring up at half-blood hill wondering if this place was really worth it.

According to Marlow and Ellie's recount once they reached camp it had been her that had gotten them to camp. It had been as if she was on autopilot, she'd made them leave their uncle alone, she'd made them try to clear all traces of them as best they could without seeming too suspicious and then she'd called the police to report an accident. They said she'd sounded hysterical but once she was off the phone it was as if she'd flicked a switch, she'd told them to grab what they needed and then she'd made them leave. She hadn't let them stop until they reached camp.

The triplets settled into camp relatively easily and for the next six years they called it home. Until finally, after six years being stuck at camp doing the same thing day in and day out they had enough. They packed a bag and left in the night leaving only a note. They knew no one would come after them, they were just another set of runaway demigods after all.

For a long while the outside world was everything they thought it would be. It was loud and chaotic and most of all, they were free from all responsibilities. But it was never going to work out. Monsters were always going to catch up to three demigods being in the same place and they did. They barely escaped with their lives. Returning to camp was the last thing they wanted to do but in their current state it was their only option.

Their return to camp was exactly as they'd expected, those at camp had barely even noticed they were gone. They were just more kids from the Hermes cabin. That's all they were ever going to be. Raine didn't mind it so much, after everything over the last few years. After all their losses, she didn't mind being just another demi-god. But Ellie did. She couldn't stand the fact that their mother wasn't even thought of as being important enough to have her own cabin. She couldn't stand that they were bundled in with other kids who didn't even have the same parentage as them. She hated everything about camp. Everything that was, apart from the hunters of Artemis.

Raine shouldn't have been as surprised as she was three days after the hunters of Artemis turned up at camp to find Ellie racing up towards her to inform her she'd just joined the hunters. She should have been even less surprised when Marlow told her she'd signed up too. She was furious with her sisters, how could they make such big decisions about their lives without informing her first! But she couldn't let them just run head first into danger without her. The Hunters of Artemis had a very good recruitment day that day.

Joining the hunt wasn't as bad as Raine had expected it to be. Over time she began to settle down, to enjoy the life outside of camp. She began to trust the other hunters more. She'd started to think of them as her family. When (ELLIE OR MARLOWE) just had to go and fall in love with a monster in disguise. As if that wasn't bad enough she was so under the monsters spell that when it attacked them and the hunters tried to defend themselves she defended the monster!

It was safe to say after that (ELLIE OR MARLOWE) wasn't welcome in the hunters anymore. She was kicked out almost as soon as the monster attack was over and the remaining Delcorral sisters were given a choice. Either stay with the hunters, or leave the hunters for their sister. It was one of the most difficult choices she'd ever had to make, but it had just been the three of them since they were twelve. She couldn't leave them to fend for themselves. So it was decided that all three of them would leave the hunt. They'd been just about to leave for Camp to figure out their next move when one of the hunters told Raine of a town she'd heard of. A town for demigods to live and work and study. She suggested they check New Athens out, even if they didn't decide to stay.

The entire trip there was silent. The decisions that they'd made over the last three years had strained the relationship between the siblings more than any of them cared to admit. They crossed paths with only one monster on their way to the town but with their training they easily took care of it. The moment Raine set foot in New Athens she knew it was the place for her. She took one look at the faces around her, at the people milling about as if they hadn't a care in the world and she knew, even if her siblings chose to leave, New Athens was her home.

Personality

As the oldest of the Delcorral siblings and growing up in a household that lacked any female influence Raine is very much the mum of the siblings. For the most part she's a people pleaser doing her best to cause the least amount of problems for the most amount of people. She's the sort of person who is more likely to do something she's really rather not than say no to someone. Despite this in all honesty she really doesn't like people all that much, she prefers her own space and company to the company of others.

She often gets accused of being too mothering to her siblings but growing up she saw that as her responsibility as the oldest. It wasn't until camp that she began to realise that that wasn't her job. She's just beginning to learn how to take proper care of only herself and worry less about those around her. That doesn't mean she doesn't still care, in fact she's fiercely protective of her siblings and it is in this that her mother really comes out in her. She'll go to the ends of the earth to defend her family and friends no matter the personal cost to her.

Raine isn't niave, she's known for a long time exactly how the world works. Like most demigods she never really had a childhood or rather never really experienced on in the same way mortals did especially living with two other siblings who were also demigods and a demigod uncle. They were always going to attract more monsters than the average person. She always does what she thinks is best for everyone, she has a need to protect those around her.
