Overall Personality:
Raina is a smart girl who does her best to put her mind before her heart. Being incredibly observant, it's easy for her to pick up little things about people that they may not even know about themselves. This tends to keep her a step or two ahead of other people. She uses this information generally to help people, though there are some she has no issues blackmailing
On the downside, Raina is very headstrong, which does nothing to help her impatient nature. There are situations that she'll charge right in to without really thinking about it. Generally she learns from these times, but there are some exceptions where the mistake continues to repeat itself. If she feels attacked, Raina will instantly go on the defensive, which tends to turn everything against the person that she feels threatened by. It's really not a good ending for anyone. Her mind, much like her bedroom, is actually quite a mess. Despite looking like she has everything together, there is a lot in the world that Raina still needs to figure out., and she's working on it.

Birth Place: Samara, Russia
Overall History:
Born and raised in Samara, Russia, life always seemed pretty easy for Raina. From the moment she was born, she had two overprotective and slightly overbearing siblings, especially in her brother, Nikolai. When she was younger, it was something that she didn't mind. It meant that they paid attention to her and they played with her and did whatever she wanted to do. That was the kind of thing that any kid could have possibly asked for. They were always together, which was something that Raina never once took for granted.
When she was six, Raina showed her first signs of magic when she actually made it rain inside the house. No one was really happy as the carpet was completely ruined, but they were glad to know that she was showing promise. Similar things seemed to happen on and off for the next few years, until she was eleven and got her acceptance letter to Durmstrang. It was the place that both of her siblings went to, and her cousin, so it was kind of like a tradition for them to go there. Upon her arrival, Ray was sorted into Bergen house and that was fine with her! She wasn't in Grimm, so she didn't have to be a complete witch, no pun intended. Once she began to get settled, Raina realized that her brother was teaching at the school and that was actually something of a relief! It meant that she wouldn't have to be a foreign land with no familiar faces. There would be someone there she could turn to.
This lasted until around the middle of her third year, when she met a boy. Unfortunately, the fact that her older brother taught Dark Arts seemed to chase him off. That seemed to be the pattern that began and slowly, Raina began to resent her siblings for being so close to her. She was trying to find herself, but how could she do that when they were watching everything she did and were ready to step in at a moment's notice? It was frustrating as hell and she wanted them to go and torture someone else. It helped even less that her cousin was the Headmaster. Raina never really accepted that she was going to be guarded her entire time at Durmstrang and she's still fighting it as they go. Once the summer finishes, she'll begin her sixth year. If she can make it through that and the year that follows, she's free from their watchful gaze and can finally start finding herself.
