in love too easily but makes friends easily as well. She's incredibly sincere and often wins people over. She is peaceful. She does seem to have a light around her. She'd like to think she's not that interested in the opposite sex. She'd like to think that.

She's generally afraid of being alone and afraid of what kind of parent she could be. She's afraid she'll have to choose between her jobs.

Morality

Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: (please explain) Good. Raina strives always no matter what be good but finds herself cutting people too much slack and getting taken advantage of because of this.

Mutations

Mutation description: Raina's main and original mutation was the ability to freeze and manipulate ice through singing. She was taught to chant for her tribe tradition as a child and tribe folklore
spoke of protectors who could control the elements through their chanting. Raina has gotten better at freezing but controlling the ice has taken a while. She can only manipulate water in a very small sense. She's getting better at creating shapes and objects out of the ice and creating the illusion of movement.

Strengths: Raina can conjure ice from the air and can make it very strong, she can use it to make things move or stay put, she can use it offensively and defensively.
Weaknesses: Obviously Raina is weak against any attack of heat and sometimes electrical nature. Also because she is very emotional, psychic attacks tend to work on her very well too

Secondary mutation description: (if applicable): Raina's mutation was pushed very hard at the camps and a secondary mutation was revealed. Whenever Raina gets her skin wet more than just the average
moisture in the air her legs fuse together and she gets a mermaid tail. She also gets gills which allow her to breathe underwater.
Strengths: she's more alert in the water thanks to these enhanced features, her tail is strong and powerful and having gills makes anything under water easier
Weaknesses: with a tail she can only fight from water, she can't breathe unless she clamps her gills shut if she's not in water, she could die from dehydration, and getting wet always changes her a little if not
completely.

Raina is also very effected by emotion based mutations, and psychic attacks due to her innate ability to try and find the goodness in everyone.

Fighting Style (if applicable): Raina will often work with a team and use her powers to aide in someone elses powers for a better style and more powerful attack.

Explanation: sometimes she'll simply freeze someone in place. She does have a weapon she'll use occasionally as it was given to her by her tribe: a collapsible Triton. It's supposedly made to help
with her powers but Raina doesn't find it does anything. She just uses it like a weapon though she forgets about it often enough
Pros for fighting style: She's a very quick thinker
Cons for fighting style: she's easily intimated and not very strong

History Of Your Character:
Raina always lived in the northwest territories and was very close with her family and community. Originally she found the rituals of her tribes to be outdated and useless for anything but nostalgia and culture purposes. She was raised to be a chanter for the various rituals like many women before her, always learning the songs of the animals, elements, spirits,elders and stories. There was legends of mutant chanters in the tribe's history though they did not know or use the word mutant. They were considered warriors of the tribe's past who could control different elements and heal or create illusions. When Raina turned 16 her mutation made itself known and her tribe held a council unsure of what to do in these modern times. While the council deliberated it became clear that Raina 's powers were growing and were very strong... and that she could not control them. In consulting the legends, the elders created for her a Triton hoping it would help her channel her powers but when it did not (due to the fact it was a mutation and not some form of magic) she was cast out of her village for fear she would harm those within, permitted only to return when she had gained control. Raina tried hard to be positive but a fear of abandonment was created in her. After traveling the world for 5 years trying to find another mutant with powers like herself, Raine resolves to seek out the Xavier institute she had learned of through her travels. Raina does have some control over her abilities in some ways, but lacks formal training. Her intentions for joining the institute are not instantly to become an x-men, but after seeing and experiencing it is what she will aspire to.
Raina didn't know that after she left her brother discovered his mutation and is now trying to get her to come back to the tribes.
Raina came to the mansion and began making friends and enemies, learning of the different factions and what was facing mutants. She had her first experience with the Haywire virus and survived to tell the tale. She fell in love with Rupert Kelley a local police officer who was very anti-mutant and it wasnt until the Registration act came into effect and caused a Raid on the Mansion where Rupert found out the truth about his new girlfriend. It was too late for both of them as little did they know Raina was pregnant from her one night with Rupert and the trauma of the camps caused a Miscarriage . All the stress revealed her secondary mutation.
The camps were hard on Raina but she managed to survive until a Breakout occurs and Raina is rescued by her Brother Naveed whom she didnt know was a mutant
or was in NYC and his best friend Flloyd who happened to be the man who tribe had arranged for her to Marry. Ex-fiances and mind controlling brothers galore!

After the camps Raina re-established herself as the mansion where she both helps new mutants intrigrate into the school and teaches the music program. In a moment of weakness she nearly got together with Flloyd and accepted her fate that he was probably the only one she could be with but she made it out of that. She had a bad moment where she thought her mutation could be cured Through a surgery that left her scarred emotionally for life.
Currently she is employed at the NY Aquarium using her powers for a purpose of helping sea animals and conservations efforts. She is still haunted by her past with Rupert Kelly. She is at least happy with her new job and occasionally gets out to perform at the local bars.

Raina met and fell in love with Local business man Luke Jacobs and ended up quite smitten.

The couple dated for over a year and endured a mad scientist in Paris as well as a lot of strain on their relationship. The worst which came after a shared dream between Rupert and Raina where they had a child. At a pivotal point in their relationship Raina left for Australia only to return months later to an absent boyfriend and a growing work load. [/b]

Sample RP:
Raina kicked the snow from her boots as she tossed the last of her bags into the kayak. Her grandmother watched sorrowfully as her only grandchild prepared to leave for an uncertain future. They exchanged a silent nod as Raina sat in the boat tucking her sacks underneath; safe from the ice pellets that were starting to fall. She half expected someone to call out and beg her to stay, but as she scanned the faces of the onlookers she knew the fear of her power was too great. Still, her eyes brimmed with unshed tears and she forced her words to stay inside her mouth- feeling that she should still say goodbye.
With her eyes downcast focused on in the incoming waves of the bay, Raina shoved off into the dark blue water. When she hit the curant she did not look back but rather strait ahead at the rising sun.

Sounds interesting. Very different.

Nice character. Enjoy yourself here.

Oh wow thanks so much for pointing that out to me!

You're welcome and no problemo.

Great pics!

updated with a new secondary mutation!

Also, it should be noted that since Raina has been in the camps all her hair has been chopped off!

I had originally based Raina off this reboot character deciding that she'd have lovely Red hair instead! Check out her weapon! I've mentioned it occasionally...


We have fins!


More mermaid fun

Here's a photo of me in the spirit of Raina done by my good friend Patricia!

Oh, hon, you have got to crop that mermaid picture. It's screwing up this whole page.

In any case, I just noticed that your sig pic doesn't link to this page! Figured I'd tell you. I was actually trying to find Navi's profile--since you use the same account to post for both of them, do you think you could put up a link to Navi's profile in Raina's sig, too? It would be so much easier to find it, then... Because truly, it's good to know what they guy who's assaulting you looks like.

Updated!

Hiii, i really like your drawings of your character. Raina is soo cool. I like the picture of her new short hair cut too.

If you drew that Camp picture, I'm SO going to have to harpo¢¼on(Who knew that they'd block poon and put har-thingy? xP) you for having such talent. -isn't jealous the slightest bite. I'm not! >._> -
