Raina

 Raina accepted the mat and smiled at the player. "Thank you. I am sorry I was not actually useful. You keep helping me." she said as the wind blew her hair in all directions. She stashed the item in her inventory and brushed away her hair. "Can we... I do not know, go back to town. It is cold are Christmas here." She said with a little laugh. She crossed her arms against her chest to try and warm herself up. She was happy they got the item but a little sorry that she could not help Hikoru in the fight. "Can I ask you something Hikoru? Why... why would you put yourself in such danger by taking me with you? You could have died." She said with a little tear in her eyes. She was never one to play the damsel but all she seems to do is just that.  

 Raina cried out a cute "Eeep!" when this massive snow monster appeared. The shockwave from its appearance almost knocked her on the ground. She saw Hikoru attack with a strong looking attack, something she could possible never do and then listen as he told her to play it safe. She leaped back a little trying her best not to be the target of this beast's attacks. Her heart was thumping, her breathe showing up on the air as she steadied herself, readying to dodge if she has to. She was worried about this monster, it looked strong. "Please.. Please be careful Sir Hikoru! Do not take any chances, okay?" She called out as she placed her hands over her heart. "Please, let us be okay." She prayed to herself. She still had things she had to ask this player when this was over, like why he brought a noob like herself with him. Why put himself in that kind of danger?  

 Raina smiled and sent Aoda a party invite. Maybe this would be good for her and she could actually get some supplies as drops. Just as the two were partied up, another boar appeared. Raina flipped her hair behind her clearing her view and drew her rapier again, ready for battle! Raina took off in a swift way towards the angry boar and stabbed with her rapier! "Take this, bacon!" She called out as she struck! "Oh yay! I actually hit!" She said as she cheered. She did not see the boar getting up and charging till it was too late and it headbutted her. She got knocked back on the ground and cried out in pain. The pain was so intense, so realistic. It knocked the breathe right out of her. She pushed herself up and called out. "I.. I am ok!" She said to Aoda. "I will not let that happen again!" She stared intensely at the monster and readied herself. "Bring it butterball!"

 It was a bitter and bone chilling cold. There was no other way to describe this area. The kind of cold where you just go back inside and wait it out. She did not know if she had that luxury here. She did her best to go slowly but yet keep up with Hikoru. Her boots sunk slowly into the snow as she dredged through the frozen wasteland. She heard Hikoru call out to her asking if she was okay. She laughed as she remembered a certain Disney movie and said, "Ya! The snow never bothered me anyway." She replied with a wicked smile on her face. She was not exactly sure where this request was but she secretly hoped it was near here. This snow was not good for her dress.

 "Hikoru, are we close? And what exactly are we supposed to do for this quest?" She asked with a bit of worry in her voice. She knew she was not the best fighter, but she would do her best.   

 Raina smiled at the man and blushed a little at her silliness. She twirled a piece of her hair as his spoke and she got excited at the mention of his level. " Really! Wow you have gotten so far! Makes me think maybe, just maybe, I can as well." She said the last bit a little quieter as the blush intensified. She took a step back as the man bowed and curtsied a little. "Again sorry for running into you, sometimes I just don't pay attention when I am trying to do something. Forgive me please." She said with a smile and a slight sparkle in her eyes.

 "Big sis! Is that you?" A voice called out. Raina turned to see her little orphan friends running to her. They weren't really orphans, just young players who should not be risking their life.

 "Hey kids, how are things?" She said with a smile and then realized she was being rude to Dominion. " This is Dominion, Big Sis literally just ran into him." She said with a smile.

  "Sis, you always run into people, how are you still alive?" One of the kids teased. Raina looked at the kid with fire in her eyes and noogied the hell out of the kid. 

 "BECAUSE OF THIS! MWHAHAHA!" She cried out as she kept up the noogie as the other kids watched. She turned back to Dominion and explained. "These kids are players I met while living here, they were just as afraid to go out as I was. So me and some other players who did not want to leave were taking care of them. I actually just left a few days ago to try and do my part to end this world." She said. 

 It all happened so quickly. The heel snapped on her shoes, tumbling down the mountain and rolling off a cliff. She thought for sure this was how her pathetic life ended. Over before she could even accomplish anything in this world. Suddenly she felt a strong and warm body against hers, holding her from her death. Vale had leaped off the cliff with her and was trying to save her. She watched as the cat girl sunk her claws and boots into the mountain and stopped them both from plummeting to a messy death at the bottom. Vale made some comment about her heels but Raina could not hear it. All she could hear was the sound of their hearts beating against each other. Tears swelled in her eyes as she quickly hugged onto Vale's shoulders and laid her head there and just sobbed. She was so scared, and felt useless. Why did this girl save her? 

 Vale held her almost bridal style as she left them fall to the ground as Raina cried. As she was put down Raina looked at the cat and just continued to cry before tackling her to the ground and just continued to hug her. "Thank... thank you.. so much..I am..so sorry I am useless. Please.. do not let me die. Please." She barely stuttered out through the sobs. The fear was burning in her heart. It clouded her mind and rational thoughts, turning all her light into shadow. 

 Raina breathed as she tried her best to attack the boar, but she was so nervous she dropped her rapier. It clattered to the ground and she reached down to pick it up. She looked at Vargas and stuttered out. "I... I am sorry! I.. have not be able to hit an enemy yet." she said with a sad look on her face. She took a step back from the monster in case she needed to dodge. Tears swelled in her eyes as she felt the self doubt just take over. She charged at the boar and watched as it dodged out of the way. She knew she had to do something or she was gonna hit the ground so she landed into a roll positioning herself back on her feet in case she needed to move quickly.  Her hair flipped behind her as she rose from the roll and smiled. "I may not be able to hit you, but damnit I will dodge your attacks as well!" She called out towards the monsters.

 She accepted the trade and stared at the dress. It was gorgeous but yet almost armored, the corset like chest was breathe taking gold and white that shimmered in the sun. Cloth pieces fell off of the hips of the armor and fell to the ground almost like a ball gown but yet exposed both her legs. The lacy tights rose up to her upper thighs while a set of small feathered boots rose up barely to her ankles. She equipped the armor and automatically felt stronger and beautiful. She twirled and giggled sweetly as the dress flowed out with the wind. Her body moved in an elegant and swift manner as she danced. "This.. this dress is just amazing. Are you sure you do not wish to keep it?" She said as she stopped spinning and her hair fell in her face. She brushed it aside and smiled at the other player while awaiting an answer.

 She looked down and felt the fabric of this outfit and was just astounded. The lace and silk, it felt so real to her, almost like a real wedding dress, without the armor of course. She tapped one of her shoes against the floor and looked down at them. She was never one that thought she could look this beautiful. She still remembers the words her mother constantly tore into her. Ruining all of her self confidence, ruining all of her love for herself. "Is this me?" She thought to herself.

 "Raina, you will never find someone that marries you for love. Not with how you look." she said to me. My mother had always thought of herself as gorgeous, how hard was it to see I wanted to feel the same way? I had bought this dress thinking mom would approve of it, thinking that maybe, for once, I could feel as gorgeous as she said she felt.

 She felt the eyes of the other player studying her frame, checking her gear and armor off. She blushed a little more and crossed her arms a little out of a lack of comfort. She listened to the man's words about leaving it to him and staying back and her head shot up. "I.. I want to try.. try to help somehow." She stuttered out. "I do not have any other equipment, a blacksmith gave me this shield to try and help me. I do not know how good I am in a fight but... but I will do my best I promise." She said as she gripped her blade.

 She knew her lack of skills could get better with time, she knew she could try, but does this she even have the power to survive? Does she have the flame of desire, the power to fight? She wanted it, she knew people who have it. But is this power something only the strongest of hearts have? Or can she wield her emotions into this power?   

 She turned around, causing her white skirt to flutter in the wind, at the sounds of the man's words. Her long hair fell in front of her face as she blushed and tried to keep her composure. She has never really been good at socializing with others, nor was she good at just meeting people. "It's.. it is nice to meet you, Sir Hikoru. I am Raina, a new player..." She said as her face turned a deeper crimson, " but please know I will try my best!" She said as she fidgeted and bowed to the man.

 No matter what she did, she could not seem to be helpful to the people she teams up with. Was this just her curse, or was it the game's way of telling her that she should not survive? She looked up at the other player with her crimson eyes sparkling with the fear of insecurity and the fear of uselessness. 

 She arrived early and looked around the battlefield. With hesitation in her heart and eyes she scanned the area around her for her guild mates. Raina has just joined the Emerald Harbingers when the announcement of this boss fight started. She was worried about her skills as a swords woman but knew her friends would be here to back her up. She crossed her arms against the metallic corset of her dress and twirled, trying to get herself psyched for the incoming fight. She gripped the blade of her iron rapier and sighed. She did not know if this noobtastic sword would even be good enough. The rest of her equipment was nice and definitely made her stronger, but alas she had no luck finding a blade. "Raina, you got this." She said to herself. "You will be helpful." She breathed as she regained her composure and leaned against a nearby tree, with one leg propped up, waiting for the arrival of her guild members. 

Stats:

 Raina looked at Vargas with confusion. "Why are you covering your eyes? Is something wrong?" She asked as she tilted her head, causing her hair to fall a little in front of her face. Raina looked down at her body and still could not understand what was going on and why Vargas was being so weird. The leotard fit her nice and yet did not see a reason for him to cover his eyes. "We have to have a little fun sometimes right? Surely you can understand this, this place is so dark with all the death and fear. The fear is almost worse than the death. There is a whole community of players afraid to leave the first town, I was for the longest time." She said with a sigh.

 The man tried to leave and she got a little sad. "Wait! Do.. do you want to go fight some monsters with me? I am not very strong and would love the help." She said as her eyes sparkled.

 She was running down the alley trying to go check on the orphans that she left here. Being as ditsy and oblivious as Raina can be she really did not pay attention to what was in front of her. So in a very Raina like fashion, she smack straight into another player and fell on her butt. She pouted a little as her mature form almost laid limp on the ground. She sat up and looked down at the small leotard that left nothing to the imagination and sighed. "Owies, I got dust on my outfit." She said as she looked up at who she ran in to. "Oh goddess, I am so so very sorry, sir." She said as she brushed the hair out of her face. She stood herself up and crossed her arms in a shy like manner. "My name.. my name is Raina. I am only level 1." She said.

  The wind on the mountain path was harsh and heavy as the two ladies walked. Raina shivered from the fierce cold of the mountain air. "It... this air.. is so cold to the touch, almost like we are actually on a real mountain. Are you sure you can handle these enemies alone? I do not want you to risk yourself for me." she said as her long hair flowed with the wind. "So where is this npc, is she near here?" She said as took a step and heard a crack! Her heel snapped and she tumbled down the mountain path! "Sonnnnnnn offff a bitch!!!!!!!!" She screamed out as she rolled down the path.

 Her heart was racing as she fell. Was this how her life would end? Literally falling down a mountain side? What a terrible and tragic way for someone's life to end! She closed her eyes as she prepared herself for the end. 

 She opened up her HUD and saw the request and was hesitant. Could she even handle this quest with this other player. She fidgeted a little at the thought of still be useless. "Raina, you can do this." She said to herself. She accepted the request with a heavy heart as she walked to the teleport crystal. She felt her body dissipate as she warped to the fourth floor.  She looked down at her new buckler given to her by that shop keep with the bear. She smiled as she looked at the intricate designs of the rose. "Maybe, just maybe, now I can be helpful." She continued as she walked towards the meeting place. She thought about the people she has met so far and smirked. She needed to rely on their strength if she wanted to get strong enough to help defeat this world. She walked into the tavern and looked around for her new party member. 

 She sat up on her knees as she looked a little upset. "Goddess help me. I am so bad at this! I could not even hit a freaking boar! It is a freaking boar, literal swine, the noobiest of enemies and I kept missing!" She ranted on as she finally stood up and sighed as she sheathed her rapier. " Sorry, I got a little overzealous when I jumped in, I really thought I could help." She continued as she crossed her arms against her breasts causing them to bounce. Her hair blew in her face a little as she leaned up against a nearby tree. "My name is Raina, sorry that I was not a better assist, please forgive me." She said in her angelic like voice. She propped one leg up against the tree as the slit going up her dress exposed a lot of skin, not that she seemed to mind. 

 Raina turned away from the man for just a minute as she watched the sunlight shine above the clouds. The light hit her exposed skin and almost seemed to glisten in the light of the sun's warmth. She sighed comfortably as she ran her hand through her hair as it danced with the lake's breeze. Her long rose tinted hair fluttering along like entranced in a waltz commanded by the sylphs themselves. She twirled gracefully as she turned back to the man behind her. " This place is really something else, isn't it? You do not think a place this beautiful would be here, inside a death game." A flash of sadness crossed her face before it faded into a bright smile. "Really, I can come into your cabin! Oh that would be wonderful!" She said as she giggled and jumped up and down cutely. She almost danced as walked towards Atzo, continuing to have that bright smile on her face. "It is so nice to meet you, Mr. Atzo! I'm Raina, a newbie but I am doing my best to.." She tried to say as tripped over a branch and fell into the man's arms.      

 Raina blushed and gasped a bit as she realized she may of hurt the girl's feelings. "Oh no no! No insult meant, forgive me! And please do not think you have to do all the work, I will try my best, promise!" She called out with a big smile. "I may be small but I am a trained gymnast, well I was in the real world and I think I have gotten sorta okay with this rapier," She said as she grabbed the handle of her blade. " So I will do my best, promise." 

 She started walking after the cat lady did and did her best to keep up as she stumbled a little in her heels. "So where do we go for this quest?" She asked almost meekly as she continued to follow the cat lady. "Sorry if I seem annoying, this is just my first quest." She continued. 

 Raina smiled at the man as she walked out of the pond and opened her inventory. She scrolled through her various clothes and equipped a very cute white, sleeveless dress that fell to her knees. The dress has a long slit up the right leg and a black belt hanging off diagonally. "Is this place a secret? I just stumbled across it, I am huge fan of swimming and water in general. I am Raina by the way, I am sorry if I disturbed you." She said with a cute smile and a small amount of blush on her face. 

 The girl leaned up against a nearby tree and propped one leg against it. "And as for the water, I can deal with a little cold swimming, I mean that is really not the worst damn thing here, right? I mean, we are stuck in a virtual death game. Things could be worse." She said with a slight giggle.

 Raina listened to the cat girl's words and only partially agreed. She spoke with a focused yet sweet honesty as her voice rung with the song like tones she called words, "Any creature, beaten down, caged, and backed against a wall with resort to their basic, animalistic instincts." She instinctively took a step back and crossed her arms against her chest, completely ignoring the bounce her chest gave. "Humans are the same on the inside. Even as much as we try to deny our instincts and desires. The cravings and desires that drive us, are completely against our will. We cannot fight it, we cannot refuse it, and we cannot change it. We are all animals at heart. Even me." She said with a sigh. " We can all be repulsive. We are a race of animals that cause war and strife, and do evil things like trap people in a virtual death match."

 "I will gladly accept your help on this quest, but I do not know how helpful I can be. I have had a hard time so far in this game. I am lucky to have survived this long, and Miss Vale, I am nothing but average. At least that is what I was raised to think. I was never good enough for my family. Never smart enough, never fast enough, never strong enough. I'm sorry, I know that talking about irl things are frowned upon but I need to believe this place is our new reality now."  Raina flipped her hair as she continued. "My name is Raina, Raina Lynna Vanille Scylar, I am so tired of this world's law of usernames. If we are going to party up, then I thought you should know that." 

 Raina bent down and accepted the flowers as she smiled. "Why thank you sweetie." She said as she patted the girl's head. She stood up and opened her inventory and selected a basic white leotard from her inventory and equipped it. For a brief second she felt like a magical girl as the dress sparkled off her body only to be replaced by her leotard. She turned her head back to Vargas and smiled at him, "I have other clothes silly, I just really like that dress." She said as she crossed her arms causing her chest to bounce a bit. 

 She flipped her hair before she turned back towards Vargas. "Why did you not dance with me?" She said with a slight pout on her face. "Dancing is good for the soul, just good for your morale. This place is a death game, it is a place filled with darkness. Why not embrace the little things?" She said as she winked. 

 Raina shook her head getting rid of her awkwardness and insecurities. Her rose tinted pink hair floated with the breeze her head created and her skin almost seemed to sparkle with the light of the virtual sun. She blushed a little more as the neko girl towered over her. "I was trying to get help for this quest, but all the players I asked, only want me as a girlfriend or sex object." She said as she looked away a little and a streak of sadness crossed her face, as she held a quest flyer in her right hand.   

 Raina raised her head and looked at the girl again only to notice an almost leering face as she appeared to be sizing her up. The cat girl spoke about her being quite the looker and she looked down at her body and was confused. "Am I?" she said puzzling. "I think I am just average, I mean most girls don't have my hair color but that isn't anything special right?" She said with a wink and a big smile.

 Raina gasped a little when she realized the girl she bumped into was actually a nekomata! Raina's face lit up with blush and a huge smile as she looked at the cat like girl. She instinctively grabbed the girl's face and pull on her cheeks cutely. "Oh my goddess you are soooooo cute!" she exclaimed. "Oh no!" She said as she realized what she was doing. She released the girl's face and looked away with her face full of blush. "I.. I am so damn sorry! I did not mean to be so forceful." She said as she fidgeted a little. 

 She stood up and crossed her arms against her chest causing her breasts to bounce a little in a very fan service like manner. What the hell is wrong with you girl, that you would think you could just pull on some cat lady's face. What if this kitten has claws?

 "Get out of here you damn noob!"

 The player yelled at her as she swiped at her causing her to fall on her behind with a thud! "Please, I need help with this quest. Why won't you help!" She screamed back as tears swelled in her eyes. Her voluptuous body, clad in a white leotard that barely covered her chest and left little to the imagination, was now covered in dust from the ground. 

 "How about this doll face? Promise to be mine and you will never have to go questing." The man said as he reached his grubby hand out and tried to grope her chest. She quickly reacted and smacked the man's hand before lifting herself back and drawing her blade.

 "What the hell do you think you are doing?" She called out as she pointed the blade towards the Player's throat. "You do not and will not touch me, got that perv? I do not wish for you help anyways." She continued as she turned around and sheathed her blade before walking off. It is always the same with some of the mid players. They don't want to help the new players, but will take full advantage in many ways if they can. She sighed as walked through the street not exactly looking where she was going. She accidentally walked straight into a cat like girl with a nice frame, which in turn, caused Raina to fall backwards with a loud thud! Her chest jiggled in a completely fan service like manner as she fell. "Owies!" She called out as she rubbed her back. "Oh goddess! I am so sorry! I was in a mood and did not look where I was going, please forgive me!" she said to the cat girl as she looked up with her crimson eyes sparkling with the light.   

 "Here goes!" She called out as she took off towards the beast with a fierce determination. Sadly her determination was no match for the force of a pebble as she tripped over it and fell on her face. "Eeeeep!" She screamed out as she fell. She hit the ground with a thud and looked up with tears in her eyes. "Goddess help me, I am so pathetic!" She screamed out as she punched the ground. She picked herself off the ground and said to the other player. "Maybe you should do the attacking because apparently it is not in the cards for me." She dusted her self off and flipped her hair. She sighed as she focused on the boar in case it decided to attack. "Damnit, Raina. You will never survive like this." She said softly. She looked towards the other player and nodded, almost telling him to finish the job.
