Fullview here: [link]
----------------------------------------

Name : Rayne (or Rain as she sometimes spells it)
Age : 18
Height : 5’10”
Gender : Female

Dorm : Hell

I.D. : Removable pendent on her choker. (Fullview to see it better plz >.<)

Ability : Can either freeze or boil the water molecules in carbon-based life-forms and water based gaseous mixtures around her based on her mood. (This includes the air be breath. For air is a homogeneous mixture.)
angry/anxious/excited=boil
anguish/depression/sadness=freeze

Limitations : Her ability only effects objects up to 5ft. away from her body. Any further and nothing will happen. (When in a fight, she will use her whip to bring her enemies closer to her. Though she does not like using it, so she normally just let’s her partner hang on to it for her.) Using her powers also severely dehydrates her for the fact that it is the water in her own body that jump starts the boiling or freezing process of another.

Remuneration : Must cut herself somewhere and allow herself to bleed out at least 10mL of blood. (To avoid scarring up her body, she always reopens areas of the scar on her leg _{more on that later in bio}. So in essence, the wound never really heals completely so it is always prone to infection.)

Personality :

Kind and Caring- She hates violence and wishes that the world could just get along so that people wouldn’t have to die anymore. She is always willing to go that extra step to help something in need. (Whether that be a human, animal, doll, contractor, etc. To her, every life is equal.)

Levelheaded and Logical- Although she hates confrontations, she knows that sometimes they cannot be avoided and she must do what she must to protect herself and her partner. She will fight only if necessary, and only in self-defense. Reasoning is the first thing she always tries, and if that fails (as it normally does with the world as messed up as it is) she will not hold back, and allow herself to become fully immersed in her emotions, allowing her to fight using the fullest extent of her power.

Ditzy and Playful- When she sees something that she likes (like a butterfly, a bird, a flower, etc.) she will tend to stare at it in a daze until something snaps her out of her stupor. (She gets mesmerized by cute and pretty things like that. x) )

Overbearing sister complex (only to her partner OisIN)- To the general public, she acts like a Saint. She will never step beyond her boundaries and will always play it safe around others. To OisIN though, all that is thrown out the window. Although she still is the kind and caring individual she normally is to everyone else, she is not afraid to speak her mind around him either, and therefore will nag at him often, and will even call him an “idiot” if he’s done something she deems illogical. Although she may seem harsh sometimes when she says mean things, she loves him like a brother, and never really means anything by it. In the end, she is always there for him if or when he needs her. She respects that he needs his space and she gives it to him just the same as well.

The Past :

Born and raised in a typical middle-class family in the city, Rayne, once named Isabelle Solue, lived a very normal life with her father, mother, and her older sister Nelsie. Her parents had always been kind and supportive of her and what she did, while her sister stood as her greatest role model. The sisters did everything together, rarely leaving each other’s side.

All that changed though when, at age 20, Nelsie moved away to live with her husband to be overseas. Isabelle, age 14 at the time, sadly wished her big sister luck with her future and said goodbye. For the next 2 years, the only form of communication she shared with her sister was through the phone, for her family and Nelsie could not afford to travel to one other.

It was then at this time when the trouble with dolls and contractors began. All of a sudden, friends and acquaintances around Isabelle started to disappear. It was unbeknownst to her though as to why this was happening. For her parents, after Nelsie left, sheltered her from many of the bad things that went on in the world with the mindset that they were protecting her for her own good. They were wrong though.

Soon after, Bella herself started to display strange abilities as well. She was afraid and didn’t understand it at first and so decided not to tell her parents until she learned what was happening. She started scouring the internet for information. What she learned shocked her. She began to feel slight malice towards her parents for not telling her any of this and decided to confront them about a week later about her own abilities.

When displaying her powers to them, all they could do was stand in silence. As her mother stood there with a pained expression on her features, and her father stared almost expressionlessly at her, Bella could not help thinking that she should not have told them. She thought that they would understand, that they would simply smile and say “It’s alright Bella. Everything will be okay” like they always did. They didn’t this time. And it was this that worried her the most.

Over the next few days, the air in the Solue household became more and more tense; until finally, it happened. While talking with her father one day in the hallway about if she could go out with some friends later, he snapped. In an instant he ran into the bathroom next to him and grabbed the closest thing he could get his hands on, a razorblade, and began to chase Bella down the hallway as she darted to and fro screaming as she tried to get away from him. His face had turned from the calm mannered man she knew to that of a maniac that had no sense as in what he was doing. In the second she took to look back at her father though she tripped and fell to the ground. With her father a second behind her, she quickly tried to get away, but it was too late. Her father launched himself toward her aiming the blade towards her face but Bella was able to move herself a little farther away, resulting in the blade skinning her right leg from her knee all the way to her ankle. As she laid there, still trying to get away, the only thing that raced through her mind was utter anguish that her father had done, is doing this to her. As she stared at her father’s wild features with tears streaming down her face, her powers activated. In an instant her father had stopped moving, frozen solid from the effects of her abilities. Bella could only stare in shock. She quickly got up and started to limp away heading for the door. She didn’t know what to do. She had just killed her father. She was going to run.

Before she could make it to the door though, her mother appeared, begging her to stop. Angry at herself and at her father who had attacked her, her powers activated again. This time they were directed towards the body in front of her, her mother. Her mother’s skin began to burn and bubble as Bella fumed. At the sound of her mother’s screams though she snapped out of it, and stopped. As her mother fell to her knees, Bella grabbed a shirt off the couch and ran with a limp out the door. She quickly wrapped the shirt around her leg and began to run as fast as she could towards the subway station. Ignoring the pain, she did not stop until she was safe and sound on the bustling train heading towards the outskirts of the city, completely invisible amongst the bustling life of the city…


The Present :

A year and a half goes by. Now 17, after moving to another city far away, the girl once called Isabelle now goes by the name Ray and both dresses and acts as a boy to avoid detection by those she once knew, and by those who could otherwise find her by her official documented identity. The way she is now, she is alone, but she is safe. And that is how she prefers to live her life. Or at least, that is what she thought until meeting her partner one fateful day…

OoOoOoOoO

“Not again…” she muttered to herself as she ran down the sidewalk, quickly approaching the street corner. “If I can just get home…” She turned her head then, to make sure no one was following. And then, it happened. *CRASH*
The next she knew she was on the ground flat on her butt. She was staring at a boy in front of her who she assumed was the source of her mishap. He had orange hair and….roller blades? Yes, he was surely the cause. She rolled her eyes mildly before picking herself up and offering her gloved hand to help him.

Reminding herself to lower her voice a bit, she spoke. “Hey, you alright?” She leaned down towards the boy and extended her hand. But for some reason when he looked in her direction, he did not look at her face and he failed to even acknowledge that she was holding her hand out. Oh…he’s blind. Wait, what’s he doing wearing rollerblades then?! She shook her head in confusion and continued to speak. “…I’m holding my hand out.” To her surprise he took it and she helped him up. Man, he sure is tall. Those rollerblades don’t exactly help though.
“Ah, sorry bout that. Guess, I wasn’t exactly looking where I was going.” She grabbed her hat in the front then and pulled it down a bit, forgetting that the boy in front of her couldn’t see her face. What am I doing? I have nothing to worry about. He can’t even see me.

No matter what she did, no matter where she went or who she talked to, she never was one to get close to anybody; in both mentality and physical proximity. Crashing into this guy was the closest she had gotten to anyone in a long time.

To her surprise yet again, when he next uttered a word, it was not to apologize like her but to blatantly point out the fact that her voice was “weird” for a guy. She stood there in shock and confusion. What’s with this guy? Does he seriously not even care that he crashed into me? She hesitated before responding.

“Ah, I…um.” Smooooth Bella, real smooth. Before she could continue he stopped her by introducing himself as OisIN and telling her that it didn’t really matter. Huh? She was utterly confused now. They just randomly collided at a street corner and now they were making introductions? Well, I guess there’s really no way around it then. “My….my name’s Ray. Ah…nice to meet you.”

It was the start of a friendship. The first one Bella had had since leaving her old life behind. Time went by. Even after a few months of knowing each other, OisIN was still under the impression that Bella was a guy; and that was how she was going to keep it. With that mentality in mind, the two became buds, hanging out and doing all sorts of guy things. (This included even talking about girls that passed by. As far as anyone knew, Bella, rather Ray, was a guy. So doing this kind of thing just didn’t bother her.)

One day though, OisIN offered to teach her how to rollerblade for she had told him that she had never learned. (She had figured he must be pretty good if he wears them nonstop even though he’s blind. Or crazy…that could be it too.) After heading to an empty parking lot and strapping on a pair of blades he loaned to her, she started to practice. All the while OisIN skated alongside her making sure to be there is she fell. Eventually, he held back and just stood back, listening to his music on his ever constant headphones while she rolled around.

She was having fun; but she was getting over confident. She wanted to see if she could skate like OisIN did, and so, she closed her eyes. This was a mistake. The next thing she knew she slammed into something hard and started to fall. The object she crashed into fell with her, and before coming to a stop, her and said object rolled a few times on the ground before stopping with her underneath it. She opened her eyes.

The object was OisIN…and his hands had landed in the worst spot possible; her chest. What was only a few seconds felt like an eternity for her. As she lay there nervously she couldn’t help but notice the look of shock on OisIN’s face.
But just like that, it was gone; replaced with a look that she couldn’t quite read. In the next moment he got up and helped her up. Without a word, he waved goodbye to her and took off. She was left there, still with his skates on, utterly confused and terrified all at the same time. She didn’t know what he might be thinking right now, but she had a pretty good idea…

OoOoOoOoOoO

A few weeks passed by before they spoke to each other again. OisIN had finally decided to confront her about her secret. She knew it was coming, and she had prepared herself for it. No more secrets.

OisIN and Rayne (she added the ‘ne’ to her name after being convinced by OisIN to not pretend that she’s a guy anymore) then started their friendship anew. This time, they didn’t hold any secrets toward each other. Over the next month, they told each other everything, (or at least she did. She had no idea whether OisIN was telling her the complete truth or not) including the truth of what they were. After showing OisIN her powers and OisIN showing her Ahtah (his observer), they decided to partner up. It was then that the invitation from Primrose came. Rayne was ecstatic to go. OisIN? Not so much so. He was going no matter if he liked it or not though. Rayne was going to make sure of it.




Partner : OisIN[link] ~


Additional Info:

-Jumpy around blades after what her father did to her in the past. She will use them for things herself, (i.e. kitchen knives, etc.) but will go pale around someone who is holding one themselves.

-Will still respond to “Ray” and often will revert back to her old boyish self when not thinking properly. (She’s still trying to get into the habit of dressing like a girl everyday again. She posed as a guy for so long, that she just became used to it.)

-Always ties the same ribbon in her hair. It was a gift from her older sister. She gave it to Rayne before she moved out of the house to go live with her boyfriend overseas. Rayne holds onto it in hopes that she will see her sister again one day, and that she will not be mad at her for who she is now…and more importantly, for what she did to their parents.

-Likes to look after Ahtah (OisIN’s observer) and carry it in her backpack around town while it’s in its blobby form. She’s always fussing over the little thing as if it were hers and always plays with it.~ o3o

-She has a scar on her leg from the wound that her father gave her that runs all the way from the side of her right knee to her ankle. She tends to wear things that cover it up for the most part though, so the whole thing is rarely seen by anyone but her.

- Always tells her partner (who is blind) to take his head phones off so he can actually have some sense of his surroundings. (More often than not, she’ll even hide them from him. Though she always returns them in the end.)

-Likes to push OisIN around on his rollerblades even though he doesn’t trust her to do so. (She accidently rolled him off of a dock once and into a lake. >__> Hey, what can I say? She saw a butterfly and got distracted. (pfffft… /idiot)_{…she fished him out afterwards though~})

Tools: Sai+Photoshop
Time: week and a half for the fact that i only worked on this (time i spent on bio included) when I wasn't working

-Tried a low contrast coloring style for this. I like how it came out, but if I could find a middle ground between this style and my high contrast style, THEN I'd be truly happy. I'll get it eventually~
