Rayne
Tam-illee mother to three adopted human children, and lifelong friend to Carevei HawkFreed.
Physical Characteristics
"Brown pelted, but with a mask and gloves and socks of silver fur, silver that became tipping over her spine and a dab of color over the end of her tail. Dark-eyed Rayne with the silver eyelids that became silver lashes."
History
Family
After college, during which Carevei HawkFreed were best friends, married a fellow classmate named Jack, but they divorced due to Rayne's inability to physically bear a biological child. After that, Rayne adopted three human children: the young Ria and Patrick, and the adolescent Jomo, as well as a dog named Goldie, a marshound. Nearly ten years after their separation, Rayne sought out Carevei again to be her companion and co-parent, not as a lover or romantic partner but as a beloved friend.
Recent History
Rayne married Jack, but later divorced when they discovered that she could not physically bear children. She then adopted three human children--the twins seven at the time that she reconnected with Carevei, and Jomo fifteen--for her own reasons: “I adopted humans. It was my way of saying I wasn’t going to let that pathology determine my choices, or my destiny.” She later sought out her friend Carevei on Ciaracaa, and the two reconnected as friends and agreed to share time between Tam-ley and the Lifehawk Tribe.
Rayne's children enjoy watching the adventures of Mirina Birina, Habitat Rescuer.
