General Appearance:
Picture

Aside from her blonde hair and cold glow eyes, you’ll notice that her complexion may be abnormally light, but not thoroughly pale. And though she acts near emotionless, or expressionless, her face is not rugged or hard.

She is of a small frame and is lean as Rain; however, her body is not marred by a multitude of marks. She usually wears a short black turtleneck sweater (with a zip at the front) under a white, armless jacket that has a black belt around the waist. The jacket is slightly open at her tummy, so her bellybutton and a little of her midriff is seen. Sometimes she wears fingerless, black gloves on her hands. The gloves are long enough to cover her whole forearms.

Raisha usually wears a black jeans that’s not very tight fitting, held up by a very plain black belt. The jeans covers a black boots. The boots itself covers her shin, and the white laces run all the way to the top. The heel of the boot is no less than one inch, and the way the trousers cover it, makes it look like a stylish high-cut sneakers.


Weapon(s):
The Gauntlet: The gauntlet amplifies the inherited powers (from his father), including special powers and basic powers like strength and speed. It is made by Reorx, the God of the Forge, who molded it with a special metal that responds to the user's state of mind. When not in use, it condenses into a flexible, cloth-like wrist wrap. Rain owns the right gauntlet while Raisha owns the left. They are a of a ruddy/rusty colour, and forged to make it look as if it belonged to a suit of armor (in Rain's abilities, it does).

Devil Arm: Pandora: A devil arm shaped like a briefcase; forged from the soul of the devil Pandora (whether it’s the same one as in the myth is debatable). Pandora has 667 forms. Each form is a weapon that can be utilized, and it changes in the blink of an eye according to the user’s will.

Explored Forms:

Form 667: The briefcase turns into a shotgun that can fire bullets that track targets. The bullets, however, heals those its hits. Its healing power is immense, able to regenerate limbs or even bring a wounded person back from near death. However, it can only provide temporary relief to the fatally ill.

Form 666: Omen: The briefcase form, opening it makes a bright light shine out from inside, severely hurting and burning any enemy that’s been bathed in it.

Form 594: Argument: The briefcase splits itself up into two and transforms itself into pair of very powerful revolver handcannons. They must be fired by the same person, and always at the same time. They are not capable of firing out of sync.

Form 422: Grief: The briefcase turns into a very large shuriken/boomerang with three blades. It’s thrown and controlled through movement of the hands. It always returns to the one who throws it, no matter what stands in the way, it will go right on through.

Form 262: Jealousy: The sides of the briefcase split open to reveal a gattling gun that fires small bullets. Each shot is weak on its own, but when fired rapidly, it has the power to shred apart enemies.

Form 124: Hatred: It transforms itself into a very large and unwieldy .50 anti-tank rifle.

Armor: Nothing worth mentioning.


Carried Possessions: Nothing special.


Powers:
Raptor Anima:
The power to pull souls from living beings, or pull the souls of the dead and devour them. In order to do this, she must be near to her target, and can only devour one soul at a time. On a living being, she can rip the soul away from the body and not even bother to eat it.
Limits: None.
Side-effects: None.

Spiritum Videre:
The ability to see living beings and nothing more, even if there are walls between them and her. In this mode of vision, everything else becomes black and she is able to see shining silhouettes of everything with a soul. The duller the soul shines, the healthier the person. If the soul is shining brightly, it means the person is near death, and the soul is ready to leave the body. This ability can be activated and deactivated at any time.

She can also use this to detect and pull off the disguises of those that aren't human. She can perceive the true nature of beings, no matter their power over illusions or ability to lie. This passive ability can also sense if they are around her, and how powerful they are.
Limits: None.
Side-effects: None.

Speculum Aliud:
She can use her excellent memory and physical prowess to imitate a technique of an opponent, sometimes able to take it a step or two further, depending on the move she’s copying.
Limits: Can only do non-magical attacks, and non-superhuman physical feat
Side-effects: None.

Aequo:
he ability to immediately use the full potential of an angel, devil or daevas arm upon touching it. The abilities and potential of the items are "read" and present themselves into the user's mind.
Limits: None
Side Effects: None


The gauntlet amplification provides him with further powers:

Unbreakable: An innate power that absorbs the energy from any attack. Melee attacks and projectiles would stop dead on coming into contact with her without causing any harm. Though she must be in the right mindset and aware of danger. Without Reorx's gauntlet active to amplify this power, she can only absorb and release a tiny amount and would be at a severe disadvantage if facing anything tougher than a mere human without it. While wearing the gauntlet, it amplifies her abilities to what it would have been if they were mature, and grant her several more abilities.
Limits: Without the gauntlet active, she can absorb as much as just one swipe of a sword or a single bullet, to give a measurement. Any more and it causes a backfire which weakens her to exhaustion and disables his power for a small while.
Side Effects: None.


Charge and Break: When the gauntlet is active, it absorbs energy from an attack, be it magical, physical, melee or ranged. The more power is absorbed depending on the type of attack. However different types of attacks are affected differently. Melee attacks bounce right off after coming into contact, while magical attacks are drawn and absorbed into the gauntlet (this effect is known as Breaking), while projectiles will hit and be stopped dead in their tracks with no effect. The energy from the attack is absorbed (called Charging) into his body, with the help of the gauntlet.
Limits: The gauntlet's power still has its limits on how much power it can withstand, though it seems to be immeasurable. Absorbing too much will cause a backfire which will turn the gauntlet back into a wrist wrap and all the power will be released, harming both Rain and his anyone or anything in his surroundings.
Side Effects: None

Release: The release of the pent up power held within the gauntlet. It appears as swift flash of white from the palm of his hands, and harms anything that he touches right after its activation. The amount of damage done depends on the amount of power that was stored.
Limits: Amount of power emitted is limited by how much is stored
Side Effects: None

Severing Impact: The ability to create lengthy blades from the palm of her hands. These blades aren't exactly opaque, they are transparent but their presence is indicated by the refracted and warped images of what they pass in front of. Length and cutting power is determined by power used to create them.
Limits: Amount of power emitted is limited by how much is stored
Side Effects: None

Distorted Severing Impact: All power is released creating multitudes of blades that extend in all directions from her body in a single instant. Length and impaling/cutting power depends on how much power is let out.
Limits: Amount of power emitted is limited by how much is stored
Side Effects: None

Ultimate: A state where she commands multitudes of these blades and have them circling around her at all times. She can use them like projectiles, in which case their speed would match a bullet that was fired from a gun. Or she can grasp one and wield it like her own sword. She can even control them in such a way that they use their broad sides to act like an impenetrable shield. The cutting power of each blade is amplified considerably, slicing through nearly anything with little to no effort at all. All the while having these blades encircling her seemingly endlessly, at least until the power within the gauntlet is spent. Power can be replenished during this state by using the normal Charge and Break ability.

During this state, her agility is increased considerably. And she is faster, able to go from a blur to being invisible to the naked eye.

Battle Strengths: Raisha is very strong; emotionally, physically and mentally. She is near impossible to topple in any of these areas. She has a strong willpower and sense of determination, and usually fights as if an A.I. was controlling her, sometimes cold but always calculating; as if playing chess, trying to figure out every move on the board and stay two steps ahead. This is part of the reason why she can be classed as a one-woman-army especially if given a sniper rifle and adequate ammunition. She is exceptionally skilled with almost any kind of guns, her favourites being mid-to-long range rifles. She can handle them without much trouble, even able to hold up and fire an anti-tank rifle while standing and handling the recoil.

Physically, she is stronger than Rain and can be just as fast when it comes to moving from one place to another. Especially skilled in parkour. She has no blood to lose and her wounds seal almost immediately.

Battle Weaknesses: Her only and most prominent weakness is one to holy magic. It’s the only thing that will penetrate her shield, wound her and cause pain. These wounds take the longest to heal, from ten seconds to hours. If she has her mask on, however, they can be healed within seconds.

Personality: She always looks cold and almost nearly unapproachable; her eyes seem to have an even more frigid, piercing attribute than Rain’s. And though she may carry herself like she’s a robust 6’ 5” (according to Cadenza), she is actually not that different than Rain, although it’s very hard to see, as her personality appears as little, silent, random increments of warmth amidst the coldness.
Her voice, most times, seems very expressionless, but soft. Rising in neither anger nor fear, she remains stoic and stalwart. It’s extremely difficult to read her current emotions by just looking at her face or listening to her voice.

Another thing to note is that Raisha has eidetic, or photographic, memory. She can remember things flawlessly, even if she just viewed it once.

Likes: Reading many genres, philosophy. Usually remaining alone, but doesn’t pass up on spending time with close/friends, family. She is interested in sports, especially soccer. She is very partial to sweets, of which her favourite is any flavor of ice cream. She may have a certain interest in some video games as well. She also likes her job, more so than Rain.
Dislikes: She has an aversion to most foods, staying mostly with sweet and sugary. Just because she doesn’t like them, doesn’t mean she won’t tolerate them. She doesn’t like sitting in one place without anything to do for too long; she’ll get up after a small while and start moving around.
Fears: That she would one day lose all her powers, and all that is important to her. Although she would want to experience being a warm human again, she would have a very hard time trading her current lifestyle.
Virtues: Steely, determined. Generally nice and quiet, even with her cold appearance.
Vices: Cold appearance that she can’t really help, sometimes too logical in her thinking, acts less on emotions at times, but she’s quickly trying to dumb this down.

History:
Rain’s profile, for early part of Raisha’s history.

Unconscious… just unconscious. When her eyelids had fluttered open, her blurry vision could only make out what was a large pool of dried blood directly under her crimson soaked shoes. Her dress, once light blue, was now a dark red. Barely, just barely, she tried to lift herself off of the wooden pillar her body was hooked on. Her legs gave way as soon as she landed; sending her tumbling to the hard, damp ground. Raisha felt her legs and joints weak, too feeble to hold her up. Only her hands and arms had just enough strength to pull her along.

But where was she going? She didn’t know; she felt as if everything was slipping away and her mind was becoming blank. Only her senses felt present, but despite that, her mind was empty. Like she was sleeping with her eyes opened. Her eyes were taking in what she saw, but it was like her mind was unable to process it thoroughly and it just slipped away. Her ears heard the birds singing outside as she dragged towards the entrance. The sound just felt as if it entered her ears and then disappeared, leaving no impression. She didn’t feel anything, nothing at all. No hate or pain, no sorrow or joy…

Except… she did feel… hungry.

She kept going even after she’d tumbled down the cold, stone steps. Dragged herself over the cold grass and sharp, grating rocks. She was finally seen when she came upon a dirt road, the travelers coming to the woman in the bloody dress’s aid.

“Appi…” Help, she said weakly.

They helped her unto one of the horses. It was a woman and a man. They said some things, like they were asking questions; but as before, nothing was getting through to her. Raisha leaned her weight back on the woman. The woman kept trying to keep the horse going and steady, playing a balancing act with Raisha as well, trying to keep her from falling, but it was in vain. Raisha’s body was heavy and she pulled down the rider as well as all the baggage. There was a loud, sharp clang as something fell from a bag. The sharpness of the sound immediately caught her attention and her eyes quickly darted over to it. It seemed to be a blade, shining as if made of pure gold. The blade itself had black markings on it, seemingly ancient looking.

She reached forward and touched it.

The woman quickly grasped the artifact away and put it back on the horse as the man helped Raisha to her feet once more. But as soon as she stood up, the man fell, crumpled to the ground as if all his bones had been stripped out of him. Raisha was standing on her own, now, feeling a little less hungry. But that wasn’t enough. The warmth she had ripped out of the man was just a fleeting thing; and it felt so good… she wanted more. And the woman was next.

She’d gotten her strength back now and was quickly rummaging through what the couple was carrying. She found a black dress that looked extremely expensive; they were probably going to trade it, somewhere. It was a perfect fit for Raisha, but not as perfect as she felt the sword was. Something about it… it spoke to her, somehow. She felt that it was meant to have it. When she touched it for that second, it felt as if a large weight had been taken off of her for just that moment. And when she held it now, her body felt lighter, stronger.

It was with this sword that she was able to take more than just blood from humans; she’d reap their very souls, but at what cost? Since her tussle with Rain, her mind had gone somewhat blank, and her emotions had faded. Would they come back? She couldn’t tell.

Until years later, she’d encountered Rain again. Both were surprised; but Rain more so than seemingly emotionless Raisha. The sight of him had opened the gates in her, and her emotions came flooding back in suddenly, piling one on top of the other until she couldn’t take it and lashed out, wounding him in the process. When she had finally gotten herself together; she found that she was alone again and her mind relapsed into that familiar, comatose state.

Another set of years had passed until she came upon him again. This time, Rain looked different. He looked stronger and happier; his hair was not so long as it had been. Again, she struck out, but this time, Rain did not flee during her rampage. Instead, he tried to reason with her and in the end, he smashed the sword. And immediately she calmed down, kneeling down to pick up the pieces. She began apologizing for everything. For how she left him and became what she was and how she tried to kill him. She figured that he wouldn’t accept her again. But Rain decided to; even if his trust in her stability was not up to par. He helped her find someone to forge the pieces of the broken sword into a dagger.

They became partners first and she, like an addict going through rehab, became slightly less emotionless and more open, but that stoic personality still stayed. Rain recalled that she was like that from the beginning; it was just more prevalent, now. From partners, they became friends, until they were brother and sister again.

A breaking point came in Chinatown, where someone blasted her with some stuff that messed her head up really badly. She retaliated violently, and in the commotion, her blade had shattered again. This time, a friend of Rain’s, Zorlo, helped her forge it into something even better. Something that would use her power rather than having it feed on her emotions while making her feed consistently on souls.

Long after Chinatown, she ended up in Cadenza’s world, a parallel world, alongside Rain. She was going to be a sister-in-law to Cadenza, now, and she hoped she wouldn’t muck things up.
