==Background==
 
Originally born in Gridania to a plain family of career carpenters, Raine had
 
always possessed a sense of wanderlust.
 
When she came of age, she left home to travel to Limsa, believing that a life at
 
sea would be the right fit for her. Her first voyage to the city turned out to
 
be with a group of pirates who tricked would-be travellers into boarding their
 
ship, only to be trafficked off. As the story goes, Raine took a gamble in
 
teaching the other captives and servants what she had learned in the lancer's
 
guild, successfully staging a mutiny and taking the ship into port as its new
 
owners. As the story spread around town, a grizzled privateer offered her work
 
on his ship - teaching her everything he knew of navigating, leadership, culture,
 
swordplay, and magic.
 
 
Eventually the two of them parted ways as Raine went out to make a name for
 
herself as captain of her own vessel. Forming her own crew of young adventurers
 
ready to bet their lives on making it big, no bounty, hunt, or treasure map
 
was considered too dangerous to take on. The young captain managed to pull in
 
many successes, leading to a high point of celebrity status. However, reputations
 
are fragile, and it wasn't long before the group would bite off more than they
 
could chew: after a sea monster hunt gone horribly wrong, Raine managed to lose
 
her ship, the respect of her crew, and the adoration of the crowd.
 
 
Lorraine "Lucky Streak" Lanier, the young adventurer whose earlier exploits were
 
clearly a fluke. Once a celebrity, then a laughing stock, now a shadow of a
 
memory. Anyone who digs slightly will hear the stories, sometimes embellished,
 
but even with her resources diminished, Raine has never let this stop her.
 
Rumor has it she's still working on ships until she can build back the funds
 
and respect to captain her own vessel again.

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.
