you and i, let's make a deal

give me strength, i'll give you riches,

all desires from us pure witches.

of course, my dear, there's just one catch:

you'll know i've never met my match.

Let them tell you their deepest desire. Give them a price. Smile. Watch the cards fall.

Those are the words she follows every time. Raia knows the ones not like her are so gullible, almost waiting to fall into a trap. They all try to trick her before falling, one way or another, but it's as if they've forgotten her calling - a trickster spirit is a sovereign of lies and disguise. With centuries of practice at her belt, she likes to call herself a master of her craft. Some call her a delinquent. Pathological liar? Maybe. But not your average crook. The weak don't interest her - it's the powerful she likes breaking. Every time they fall to their knees and beg her for forgiveness, Raia is the one in control. She could ask for anything - and sometimes, she takes it all. At the end of the day they have nothing left to stand for, no pretty words to play in defense. When they realize what she's done they tell her someone will stop her. She knows they won't. Then they pick their last choice word; demon, monster, savage. They're words from prosperous fools, but it seems to catch her off-guard every time.

Her smile cracks. She was something different. Once.

But it doesn't matter now. As long as she's still breathing, she'll take it all away.

Summary

A trickster spirit with dual forms, Raia only has one goal: manipulate the powerful, and take from them what they took from everyone else. She does this by striking deals with them, and then turning them on their heel. She's not afraid to backstab them if she can - after all, they've done it to so many others that by now it's just due penance in her eyes. She's sly, cunning, and above all clever. In the past, Raia enjoyed subtle humor, and possessed both bravery and rashness. After centuries, however, the emotions she used to feel have mellowed out, and the gap in her heart has widened.

Raia was never always like this: she was once human, like any other, forced to thievery to make coin. In a time long gone she became fast friends with noblewoman named Natara when she had caught her in the middle of burglary. Instead of turning Raia in, Natara was curious and opted to let her go as long as she would return to tell her about the lives of the commoners, of which she knew little about. Raia, albeit exasperated, had agreed to her terms, and the friendship quickly blossomed into love after numerous escapades into the city at night. However, an obstacle stood in the way of their happiness: an arranged marriage between Natara and Darius Abaddon, a shrewd nobleman who used his spot on the town's council to profit off of the lower-class citizens. Natara and Raia attempted to run out of town together the day before the marriage, but it never came to pass, as Darius had his own plans. Tired of the Azurum family continiously rejecting some of the policies he intended to put in place on the council, the arranged marriage was merely a ploy to get close to them before hiring an assault team to take them down quietly. Overwhelmed by his forces, the Azurums had little chance to fight back, and slowly fell one by one, Natara being such a victim. Distraught and enraged, Raia fought desperately against the offenders in a last, martyrlike act, vowing to at least inflict some sort of revenge before she too fell. A passing spirit, however, did not let this come to pass. Emphasizing with Raia's sad tale, it opted to fuse with her so she could carry her noble duty: one that Raia now carries for all time, so others never suffer the crime she did.

As time passed, Raia soon discovered that her former lover was, in fact, alive - fused into a spirit by a more nefarious entity. Though balancing the natures of a spirit can be difficult, needless to say the two were overjoyed to find the other alive again, and have vowed to spend the rest of their eternity together, in some way protecting the city hidden in the desert where their love was able to persist among the ruins.

Natara

Her lover. After centuries spent apart, most of their time together is spent catching each other up on stories they had as spirits, or getting through all the activities they never got to do when they were human. They enjoy spending nights in the desert city together, watching over the local oasis and seeing how the stars reflect the water.

Cyril

Ally. Turns out a spirit of memories can be quite a useful ally for making her targets forget things, and since Cyril is always in need of new gadgets to tinker with, the two have struck up quite the deal. They have a cordial relationship, and Raia really doesn't need anything more than that.
