The Darigan Citadel of Rain's youth couldn't have been more different from the gloomy castle that now looms over the land of Meridell. It was once a brand new settlement, guarantied to have fertile soil. The founder himself, Lord Darigan, had gotten his hands on a magical orb which blessed the Citadel. While neighbouring kingdoms were inflicted with plague and famine, Darigan Citadel knew plenty and peace.

Rain's parents had immigrated to the Citadel early on, seeking refuge after their original home had been pillaged and claimed by Meridell. They started one of the first farms. Their numerous and plump crops were further amplified by the use of their own magic. For being so good at feeding the mouths of this new kingdom, Rain's parents were rewarded with a high social status. Their farm land grew and labourers were put under their jurisdiction.

Very young at the time, Rain barely remember's her parents' shift from being farmers to those overseeing them. Luxury was something Rain grew up with. She was accustomed to social gatherings, although they bored her at times. Well instructed and nourished, there were so many horrors Rain was spared from.

And then one day, someone stole the orb.

Rain woke up that morning looking far from her usual self. The entire kingdom had been altered as well, as though the life had been sucked out from the landscape. It was later revealed that Meridell had stolen the magical artifact the Citadel relied on. The declaration of war was eminent.

Wanting to avenge her home, Rain enrolled in the army against her parents' better judgement, stating that she was too young to fight. The battlefront exposed her to hardships she had been sheltered from, but Rain found ways to see past it. She even managed to thrive. However, both in training and on the front, following orders was a pitfall of hers, but something she ultimately had to learn. Rain eventually became a scout, which put her flying abilities to better use.

One day, Rain gravely injured and had to be returned to the Citadel to heal. She was still bedridden when she heard the news of the war's end. Rain was told that Lord Darigan had regained possession of the orb, but fell so far into madness that he posed a threat to both nations. As a result, Darigan Citadel and Meridell had to join forces to take him down. The orb was broken in the process. Rain refused to believe such a thing. Regardless of Rain's suspicions, this event led to an uneasy truce. Whenever Rain was on patrolling duty on land, she didn't shy away from bullying the Meridell townsfolk. She felt no mercy for them; they were the reason for the corruption of her home.

Soon, war was declared once again, this time by Lord Kass, the Citadel's new chief. The news delighted Rain. She relished in the defeat of the enemy. She was unforgiving, harsh, cruel. In retrospect, Rain isn't particularly proud of what she has done and therefore prefers to keep the events of this second war out of mind. The fighting came to an end once more, but the peace lasted this time around.

With the end of the war, Rain was relieved from service in the army. She protested, much to the surprise of her superiors, but it was no use. And so, Rain returned to her normal life. Skeptical of this peace, she waited for war to break. But it never came. Rain felt empty for the longest time, finding a lack of purpose.

Seeing how unhappy she was, Rain's entourage tried their best to cheer her up, though it only made Rain feel guilty when their efforts offered only short lasting results. One day, a friend of hers offered Rain to join them in their travels. Having never seen the rest of Neopia, the prospect of venturing elsewhere was frightening yet fascinating all at once. The voyage led Rain to many discoveries, some of them about herself. It was like a breath of fresh air...

Nowadays, travelling is a constant in Rain's life, as the change in scenery keeps her afloat. She seeks adventure, something that will get the adrenaline pumping. At times, Rain will work as a hired body guard or do other odd jobs.
