Description

Despite the pain and disappointment in her past Rain remains a good natured, happy woman. She dearly loves to laugh and seems to have an endless source of energy when it comes to taking care of children. She's a strong woman, able to win the respect of even the most rebellious of the teens in her care due to her way of never backing down from a fight. And there's plenty of fighting going on in an orphanage. She doesn't take any flack from anyone and runs the orphanage with a loving but firm hand.

Magical Talent

Rain's talents are fairly ordinary as far as the Earth branch of magic goes. She's good with potions and spells in her kitchen, but nothing special. Her garden is easily the largest in West Salem, but that makes sense as so many young Witches need to access to it. Her one claim to fame is her "Healing Touch", but it only extends as far as gardening goes. She can make plants grow a bit faster, a bit fuller, and with better yield.

Appearance

Rain refers to herself as "Rubenesque". She's not thin by any means, but she's honestly quite happy with herself. She healthy and can run after kids when she needs to without getting too winded, so what's the point in killing herself to be what the world perceives as beautiful? Her hair is dark and naturally curly, though she has it braided quite often. It's just easier to manage that way. Her eyes are a warm brown sugar color and her skin is cafe au lait. She's remarkably well endowed and that's generally the first thing people notice about her.

Familiar

Mana is your typical ring-tailed lemur. His fur is black and white, his front and back paws are furless and resemble black leather - but much softer, and his eyes are golden and piercing. He is obviously an incredibly intelligent little creature, and he absolutely loves to be helpful. It's not odd to walk into the kitchen to find Rain washing dishes and Mana drying them. He's forever bringing home stray animals, especially if they're injured and he's very fastidious about keeping himself clean. He gets very grumpy if he doesn't get to bathe every day.

Information

History

Rain has always wanted a big family with lots of children. She was an only child herself and didn't like it. She married a good man right out of high school and they immediately began working on their family. Unfortunately it was many years before she could carry a baby to term and after many miscarriages they finally had their first child. He was a very sickly boy and didn't live past his first year. They continued to try but no child lived past five years.

When her husband died about twenty years ago she gave up on the idea of having children of her own and sought out the Salem orphanage. It just so happened that they were in need of help and about to be forced to close their doors due to lack of funding. She took over, using her own money at first and later organizing successful fundraisers all over the city. She no longer laments the loss of her own children, as she now has so very many to look after.
