SHE COULD BE A JOAN OF ARC
Name: Lorraine "Rainee" Shaw
Gender: Female
Date of birth [Age]: April 7 1990 (22 years old)
Appearance:
Rainee has always been a pretty girl, never beautiful, but pretty enough to get by in life. Her withdrawn personality grants a more mysterious air to her appearance, which she uses to her advantage. Her cattish almond-shaped eyes are sharp, cool, and expressive. The curves of her oval face are soft and feminine. Her plump lips have a light rosy hue to them naturally, her dark lashes neatly frame her steely hazel eyes, and her medium auburn hair flows from her skull in soft healthy waves. She has groups of fine freckles on both of her cheeks that have faded somewhat through the years. Rainee has no large scars or past wounds to speak of. Her skin is an even peach tone.
Play-by: OLGA KURYLENKO
History:
As an infant Lorraine was given up for adoption by her biological parents. Shortly afterward she was adopted by a woman named Chumani Shaw. Rainee grew up in the small town of Celestic sheltered by mountains and had a happy childhood. She did what every normal, well-adjusted child did: made friends, had fun, and went to school. Chumani was a doting mother who taught her daughter about the ancient history and traditions of Sinnoh. Rainee grew up to be a bright, quiet girl with an avid interest in the natural world. Chumani encouraged Rainee's dream of one day becoming a Pokémon trainer.
When she turned eighteen her mother insisted that she go out with her friends and see the world beyond their small village. Rainee left for a year to capture and train Pokémon across the Sinnoh region. When she returned she was met with the ugly news of her mother's death. Apparently Chumani had fallen down the stairs of her house, hit her head, and suffered a brain hemorrhage.
Feeling broken and lost, Rainee took off without warning to wander for a few months. She eventually settled down for a couple years in Solaceon town, earning a living as the local bar tender and developing a taste for alcohol. A fateful conversation with a patron who reminded her of her mother resulted in Rainee taking off and leaving for Cheyenne. Her mother would have wanted her to spend her life having adventures, not wasting away inside a saloon.
Interactions with Pokemon: During her time traveling the Sinnoh region Rainee won four badges and caught quite a few Pokémon. After her mother died Rainee gave up on her old life, letting several of her friends take her Pokémon as their own. Rainee enjoys seeing wild Pokémon and admires their freedom and power. She's undeniably frightened of ghost and psychic types, and isn't too fond of dark types either.
Personality:
LONELY: Upon first glance one might describe Rainee as lonely and maybe even angry if they caught her after she has downed a few glasses of whiskey. She rarely seeks out the company of others and has a few trust issues. Rainee keeps conversation to a minimum and will often make up an excuse to duck out of social situations as soon as possible.
Likes: Nature, drinking (usually by herself), quiet solitude, campfires, and receiving compliments.
Dislikes: Sweat, being told what to do, the dark, and cities.
HATEFUL: Rainee keeps her grudges close like a shadow and they poison her from the inside out. She keeps a journal where she writes down all of her visions, predictions, and the names of people who have wronged her.
SUPERSTITIOUS: Rainee is superstitious and collects all kinds of lucky amulets to ward off evil. Rainee has a natural fear for the metaphysical world and as a result distrusts most psychic, ghost, and dark typed Pokémon.
Strengths:
Perceptive: She has the ability to tell a great deal about someone just by observing them.
Cautious: Being careful and cautious of strangers has kept Rainee alive and in one piece.
Self Reliant: She can take care of herself and doesn't expect the world to lend a hand at any point.
Intelligent: Rainee has the brains to solve problems and talk her way out of sticky situations.
Weaknesses
Bitter: Her sour attitude pushes others away and keeps them at a distance.
Drunk: Rainee ends every one of her nights at the bottom of a whiskey bottle and greets the morning in the same manner.
Superstitious: Having to avoid walking under ladders, crossing paths with black cats, and spilling salt can sometimes be a weakness.
Irresponsible: Rainee spends money unscrupulously on things she doesn't need, leaving her pockets eternally empty.
Anti social: Avoiding social interactions doesn't always work
Secrets: After feeling the pain of losing her mother, Rainee is afraid to let herself get attached to anyone. She likes to flirt and tease with the opposite sex, acting like it isn't a big deal, but secretly wants to fall in love someday.
Pre-starter information: None
Goals in Cheyenne: Rainee is trying to escape her past, have a good time, and kick some ass.
