Rai Lancaster
Age: 17
Personality:
An adventurer at heart, Rai is constantly on the move. Staying in one place for too long bores her, and she's a bit of an impulsive thrill seeker, one of the reasons her mom tends to fret whenever she's on the road. Daring, and not one to back down from fights or challenges, there's never really a shortage of excitement around her since she often gets herself into silly spats and arguments.
Rai is not what one would call a patient person. She's got a temper and this often leads to poor decisions or hurtful words. Often, these poor choices come back to kick her butt, but the girl tries to learn from them and takes things as they come. She might have a tendency to snap when upset, but Rai rarely ever holds a grudge. Temper aside, her dad sometimes likens her to a blaze because when she sets her mind on something, Rai burns bright and fights hard. She's a tough nut to crack, often hiding her fears and insecurities behind angry outburst or bright grins. Rai doesn't have everything figured out, but her heart is usually in the right place.
Biography:
- The daughter of a wildlife photographer and teacher, Rai was born and raised in Goldenrod city, but has traveled across most of Kanto and Johto with her father. Whenever left at home with her mom, she'd often wander off and make a fuss, so while her younger brother (a total mommy's boy) often stayed back home, she mostly lived on the road with her dad. And while Rai treasured every moment of it, it didn't stop her from feeling homesick from time to time. She's not going to admit that though.
- Going on trips with her father only spurred her need for adventure. By the time Rai turned 13, she constantly pestered her parents to let her leave on her own journey, they told her to wait a few years, much to her dismay.
- Sometime after Rai turned 15, her father returned from one of his travels with an injured Cyndaquil. She helped him nurse it back to health and named the Pokemon Flame. The Cyndaquil took a liking to her and Rai obtained her first Pokemon. Shortly after, she left on her own adventure. She's been on the road for a little more than two years now.
