;; appearance
general;; Based on her appearance, you may think that Rayne is the typical nice girl, as her round face and inviting eyes have fooled many people over the years. Her honey eyes are large and round, unless she's glaring at someone, which is often. Rayne's eyes can appear welcoming when she wants them to and the honey brown pupils sometimes glow when she's in a good mood. However, hidden in the colored depths is an evil force dying to get out.
She has light brown hair with a mixture of blonde and other types of brown highlights. For the longest time, her locks reached down to her waist. But when she was just beginning her fourth year at Hogwarts, she felt that she needed a change and cut off the hair that she treasured so much. Now it falls just past her shoulders. She’s usually wears it down, but every once in awhile she’ll get inspired and do something different with it.
Rayne is a toned girl, and she takes great care to keep her naturally tanned body in shape. She has no freckles, but she does have a few moles on her legs. She has a bird-shaped birthmark on her left shoulder, and a fake tattoo of a bleeding rose on her lower back (she's going to get a real one once she gets older).
Rayne's tall, reaching a height of 5'8''. She feels her height gives her a graceful look. She carries herself very well, always making sure that her posture is impeccable.
Rayne's style has changed much over the years. When she was a young child, her father always made her wear fancy dresses, which she liked, as they made her feel like a princess. Once she entered Hogwarts, her style changed drastically. She started wearing pants more, and the colors gradually got darker and darker, until her wardrobe consisted of mostly black clothes. As she got into her fourth, she reintroduced "preppiness" into her wardrobe. Her style is totally dependant on her mood. When she’s content, she tends to dress “preppy”; she’ll wear form-fitting jeans and tight sweaters. When she’s having one of her “grey days”, she’ll dress “punk”, with lots of black and spikes.
favorite;; She tends to fall in love at the tiny plaid shorts that are folded in her drawer.
hate;; Rayne can’t stand wearing long skirts. They just look so old lady-ish.
heritage;; Although she was born in Europe, her background consist of heavy Latinos’.
ethnicity;; Latin.
;; personality
general;; On the outside, Rayne is the perfect candidate for Slytherin House. She's prejudiced against Hufflepuffs and Muggleborns. She'll do whatever it takes to get what she wants. She loves to laugh at other people's misery, and she's always got a sarcastic remark ready. She rolls her eyes frequently, and her right eyebrow is raised so often people fear it may stick that way. She doesn't mind getting in trouble, but she knows when to stay in the shadows.[/li][li]Showing her emotions
She's loyal to her friends, but she isn't a forgiving person. Once you lose her trust, it's nearly impossible to earn it back. Some people would go as far as to call her a b-tch, and for a good reason. She doesn't take kindly to newcomers. Odds are she won't like you unless she gets to know you, and maybe not even then.
After years of living under her father's tyranny, she's learned how to step up and take charge of practically any situation. She does have insecurities, though. She seeks acceptance from her small group of friends, and she tends to hide things about herself that they would find "unacceptable", such as her love of certain Muggle things.
Despite everything she displays on the surface, deep down, Rayne does have the same personality traits as normal people.
First and foremost, she's as unpredictable as the wind. She's very quick-tempered, and allows her emotions to directly affect her personality. One day, she may be your best friend. The next, she may treat you as if you're the lowest piece of dirt on the bottom of her shoe. If you have something she wants, she'll do everything in her power to take it away from you. She loves to challenge the rules, and she has a bad habit of speaking first and thinking second.
She's a very determined person. Once she knows what she wants, she'll do whatever it takes to get it. The only problem is, she's very indecisive, and it sometimes takes her awhile to figure out exactly what it is that she wants. She tends to get bored easily; therefore she'll tend to change her mind halfway through a project.
Growing up in a family of six has made Rayne very independent. She doesn't let people make decisions for her. She makes decisions her own way, and for her own reasons. She tends to favor a few close friends rather than hanging with a large crowd of people.
Rayne has a bad habit of running from her problems instead of facing them. Whenever something's bothering her, she tends to shut herself off from the world, hoping that whatever's ailing her will go away on its own.
Rayne has a need to be better than those around her; her musical genius of a brother has always gotten the bulk of her father's attention. She feels that if she gets the top grades in her year, he'll give her some of the attention she so desperately seeks. If she doesn't outperform everyone in everything, she feels like a failure.
Rayne looks up to her older brother. He taught her pretty much everything she knows, and she loves him for that. The one thing he didn't teach her, however, was how to love herself. As a result, she tends to jump at the first sign of affection, and it causes her to make some bad choices.
Despite whatever she displays on the surface, Rayne is a whole person, with just as many insecurities and flaws as the next person (maybe even more). She tries to ignore them, but she has yet to learn that it's impossible for her to run from her problems.
hobbies;; Rayne lives for music. It's sort of a family hobby, and she really enjoys it. Rayne also loves Muggle things. She'd never admit it, being the Slytherin that she is, but whenever she's at home during the holidays, she can't tear herself away from her brother's television (Family Guy and One Tree Hill are just two of her favorite shows).

;; origins
general;; Rayne was born to Ana-Maria Perez and Charles Hope in Lambeth, one of the cities in the London metropolis. A few months after she and her twin brother were born, her father moved the family to Ivry, France to escape the tension that was mounting between Voldemort and Dumbledore. Charlie didn't like the idea of raising his children in such a war-torn country, especially Rayne's older brother Marshall, who, at the age of 7, was extremely impressionable.
Growing up, the Hope children loved to find ways around their father’s rules. Rayne constantly allowed Marshall and Sergio to lead her into trouble. Not just with their father, but with the law as well. During the year, when Marshall was away at school, Rayne and Sergio did their best to "keep his legacy alive", but without him, they were no match for their father.
When Rayne was eight, her parents divorced. Rayne's mother Ana took the three youngest children and moved back to her home country. Her father decided that since the war in England had died down, it was a perfect excuse to move the family back to England. None of the children were very happy about the move. The twins were too young to remember ever living there, and Marshall had grown to love France. To show their anger, Rayne, Sergio, and Marshall broke into and vandalized a local zoo. Marshall was caught by the police. Rayne and Sergio got away, but not before Rayne swiped one of the pythons from the Snake House.
Beginning their magical education was a stressful time for the twins. When they were born, their names had been added to the list of Hogwarts students, but the family was unsure whether living in France for eight years, then moving back to England had had any effect on their admittance to the school. Marshall had attended Beauxbatons, even after the family's return to England, and that was where Rayne and Sergio wanted to go. Receiving her admittance letter from Hogwarts was one of the worst moments of her life. She had wanted so bad to attend Beauxbatons, but the return to England had cemented the twins' places at Hogwarts.
They were sorted into Slytherin House, which wasn’t a surprise to anyone. Rayne spent most of her first year trying to find herself. She made a few friends, and seemed to have found her place. Then she entered her second year, and her personality began to split in two. Part of her wanted to be the definition of Slytherin: Evil, cunning, manipulative, and unfeeling. The other part wanted to be a decent person who cared about people other than herself. Both sides were fighting to get out, and the Slytherin side seemed to be winning. From time to time, she’d wonder if she was meant for Slytherin. In return to the feelings, she'd shut herself off from her housemates for days at a time.
At the end of her 3rd year, her brother decided to move to Italy with their grandparents and discontinue his Hogwarts education, and Rayne seriously considered going with him. When she learned that she'd have to repeat her whole 3rd year, however, she decided to remain at Hogwarts and finish her schooling, and try her hardest not to let her mother's values get in the way of her father's Slytherin ones. She came back for her fourth year a completely different person. She'd gotten a new attitude, she'd cut off her precious locks that she had been growing for the past 14 years, and she dropped most of her old friends (except for the Slytherins). She began her fourth year with a new outlook and focused on doing whatever it took to get herself to "the top of the food chain".

;; roleplaying
sample;; It was a dreary day. Dark clouds had rolled in, and the sky promised rain. Rayne sat underneath a tree on the lake's edge, enjoying the scenery. It was the kind of weather that she loved best; it reminded her of home (France, not England, she'd never consider England home).
It rained a lot in France. As a little girl, Rayne had enjoyed playing outside whenever it rained. Sure, her father would yell and punish her for ruining the clothes that he had spent his hard-earned money on, but she didn't seem to get the message. She loved rain, and nothing anyone said would ever change that.
As she sat, cross-legged, in her black and green school robes looking up at the sky, a single raindrop fell on the bridge of her nose. She was only vaguely aware that the small, barely noticeable action had caused her spirits to lift ever so slightly. She would've liked to keep the water droplet on her nose forever, but the spot had started to itch.
She reluctantly wiped the drop of water away and then looked up at the sky again. The dark clouds were passing, and it seemed as if the sun was trying to come out. Rayne frowned; sunshine was the bane of her existence. Not that she was a vampire or anything; she just didn't like brightness or the extra heat it provided. She sighed, all good things had to come to an end sometime, but in her mind, the things she enjoyed seemed to end all too soon.
She leaned back, so that she was resting against the tree stump. Her eyes raked the horizon, and she saw more dark clouds moving toward her, and they didn't have an end. At least she couldn't see one. Sure, it was a stupid thing to get excited about, but it was all she had at the moment.
