Raine Lanier is a 28 year old Elezen woman originally from Gridania. She is the archetypical romantic sailor-adventurer, often travelling across the sea between Limsa and Kugane in search of fame and fortune. She lives for the thrill of adventure, developing a reputation for the bold risks she takes, and the sheer luck that she has managed to survive this long.


Personality and Appearance

Raine is a characteristically tall Elezen woman with short red hair and green eyes. She often dresses in loose clothes, and is almost always seen with her rapier at her hip. Her attention to grooming and makeup indicate that she cares a great deal about her appearance, looking down on the world over her glasses with a calculating smirk on her face.

A conversation with her reveals a polite and friendly woman who is not afraid to retell the stories of her past exploits. The gusto in which she describes her compatriots and the events of her past reveal her motivation for the adventure is not the reward, but the experience. She occasionally speaks in gambling metaphors, referring often to her fortune or lack thereof, as if she leaves the outcomes of her actions up to fate. When it comes to an opportunity to take on a challenge, she's ready to put everything else aside to determine what it will take to overcome it.
