PERSONALITY

DESCRIPTION:
Raine is an independent woman. She doesn't often rely on others when it comes to getting things done. She would rather handle things on her own mostly. Of course, she's not able to really fight monsters herself but that doesn't mean she wouldn't try or get creative in doing so. Raine's very strong of will and will not back down from her belief. She might be considered an average woman in the sense that she cannot fight like those trained in combat and the like but despite that, she will not back down when confronted with something. Her anger is not something to contend with.

It does not bother Raine that, although she may be shorter of stature than most, in dealing with problematic people in her bar. She will throw someone out regardless of who they are. She has a no nonsense attitude about her and if someone gets out of line, she lets them know about it.

Raine has a gentle, caring and nurturing side. When Ellone's parents had died after refusing to let Adel take her, Raine felt for the little girl and took her in. Raine would protect her from the soldiers and Adel despite what danger it would bring. Raising Ellone brought out Raine's motherly nature. The way Raine raised Ellone and nursed Laguna are good examples of Raine's nurturing side.

Generally, Raine's a kindhearted soul and a brave one. She has to be in order to keep her business going as a bartender at a bar she owns. Raine's a very capable woman and can easily toss someone out of her bar if the need be.

History:

Raine was born in a nearby Galbadian city. Having once visited Winhill a few times, once she was old enough, Raine opted to live in the peaceful and quiet life that was Winhill. Why she chose to live outside the city she grew up in, one could only guess. She enjoyed the view of the land all around her and the people were very welcoming. It wasn't easy at first living by herself but Raine was a hard worker. She managed to make herself a place in the tiny town and opened up a bar. Living next door to Ellone, Raine sometimes saw the little girl with her parents. They were a friendly family and Raine loved talking with them.

HISTORY BELOW IS TAKEN FROM FF WIKIA

She spent much of her time at the local flower shop, which carried her favorite white blooms.

During Galbadia's Sorceress War with Esthar, Estharian troops raided Winhill. Esthar's leader, Sorceress Adel, was searching for an heir, and the soldiers demanded the village hand over its young girls for consideration. Raine's next-door neighbors refused to hand over their daughter, Ellone, and were killed. Ellone escaped the Estharians' clutches, and once the soldiers had departed, Raine adopted the little girl.

Raine met Laguna Loire as an unconscious casualty. A Galbadian soldier, Laguna had been critically wounded in battle and Raine took him in and nursed him back to health. Eternally grateful for rescuing him Laguna remained with Raine for several months, repaying his debt to her by helping her look after Ellone and patrolling Winhill to keep its residents safe and its streets monster-free. Although Raine and Laguna were only friends at first, their relationship deepened and they fell in love, much to Ellone's delight.

On a moonlit night in the fields of Winhill, Laguna presented her with a wedding band. Surprised but pleased, Raine accepted his proposal. Their family was torn apart, however, when Sorceress Adel's minions returned to kidnap Ellone, taking her away to Esthar to become Sorceress Adel's successor. Laguna, along with his friends Kiros and Ward, prepared to journey to Esthar and rescue Ellone. Although Laguna promised to return with Ellone, Raine would never see her husband again.

After Laguna's departure, it became apparent that Raine was pregnant. It is uncertain whether or not Raine knew she was pregnant before Laguna left, but if she did she chose not to reveal this information to him. As her condition advanced, Raine became more desperate for Laguna to return, as she wanted him to be there to witness the birth of their child.

Just before Raine's baby was born, Ellone returned to Winhill. Laguna had rescued her in Esthar and defeated Sorceress Adel, but, unaware of Raine's condition, Laguna had stayed behind to help the Estharians rebuild. He had sent Ellone home to Winhill ahead of him, promising to return when his work was finished. Raine gave birth to a baby boy, but died shortly after, and both Ellone and the baby were sent to Edea's Orphanage set up to care for children orphaned by the Sorceress War.

Raine was buried on the crest of a small hill in Winhill. Her final resting place is marked by a simple stone plaque which reads "Raine Loire". A pair of gold angel wings, similar to those associated with Rinoa, decorate the top edge. After Sorceress Ultimecia has been vanquished by the SeeD, Laguna, now president of Esthar, returns to Winhill to visit Raine's grave.

Due to the timeline shift with the battle between the Goddesses and Gods, Raine was brought back to life again. Since this happened recently, it's probably going to be a shock when anyone that knew her does find her.
