Description:
The first thing you notice about Rain is her eyes. They have a strikingly bright blue color seem to pierce through your soul. They are crystal clear yet seem almost misty at the same time, giving her a very mystical, mysterious look. Another interesting part about Rain is her hair. She has jet black hair that almost reaches her waist. It's one of her prides, along with her eyes; her hair is extremely smooth and silky and when in the sun, shines with a beautiful radiance. She loves to style it different ways, but most of the time she keeps in down or in a ponytail. Rain has a fair complexion, and her skin is fairly untanned despite being outside often. She could very easily be called attractive, and boys sometimes flirt with her (much to her annoyance).
Overall Rain is quite tall for her age, reaching a bit over 5"8'. She's also fairly slender, with long legs. This makes her quite a good runner, something she's proud of. She has great speed as well as great endurance. Rain loves to run and often runs with her Pokemon (who generally have naturally high speed) in their spare time. She also likes to do other types of outdoors activities, such as swimming and climbing trees. She is pretty physically active, and keeps quite healthy with these activities.
Rain wears different clothes depending on the occasion, but they're usually two things: comfortable and blue. She doesn't really care what she wears as long as she feels good in it. Sure, she'll make sure her clothes match and all, but she doesn't feel the need to keep up with all the latest fashions. Usually, she wears rather 'loose-fitting' pants that aren't extremely tight and a fairly plain top. She will occasionally wear a skirt or dress, but mostly only for more formal occasions.
Rain also always wears a necklace and bangles around both wrists. Her necklace (click for image) doesn't reach down very far, resting right at the base of her neck, and is silver with a deep blue sapphire set into a border of diamonds. On the sides coming off the sapphire is a curved silver design that then goes to silver 'chain'. Near the sapphire, diamonds are set into the silver design. Rain's bangles (click for image) match her necklace, being made of silver and having a similar curved design. At the ends of the curves are inlaid sapphires as well as small diamonds. Rain inherited these pieces of jewelery from her mother (see below).
Rain also has a very unique ability; she is a user of aura. The ability runs from her mother's side, and she comes from a long line of users of aura. She has the ability to see and sense the aura of living things, including the Tree of Beginning. She can do this with both open and closed eyes, but because it causes her vision to be slightly 'cluttered' she prefers to 'turn off' her aura reading when she has eyes open. She also has the ability to communicate telepathically with people and Pokemon; she also can do this through the crystals scattered around Cameron, although the person or Pokemon who she is trying to communicate with must be near a crystal. Her ability to use aura is also connected to her necklace and bangles; when she uses aura, the sapphires glow slightly. She also possess gloves (like those of Sir Aaron) to conduct aura, but she rarely uses these are they drain her energy.
Another strange ability Rain has is to understand Pokemon speech. Although she is not sure if this has to do with her ability to use aura, she does know that her mother was also able to do it, meaning it either has to do with aura or is hereditary. She cannot speak Pokemon speech though (not that it's necessary, since all Pokemon can understand human speech) and doesn't understand the speech used by specific species. Because of this, as well as her love for nature overall, Rain has a particularly strong connection with Pokemon, and is even close to many wild Pokemon.
((Yes, I know she has a lot of abilities, but it's plot-related. Just bear with me here.))
Personality:
Rain is, in general, a loner. She tends to keep away from all but her closest friends, and prefers to be alone. However, this doesn't apply to Pokemon. Rain absolutely loves all Pokemon, and is often with either her Pokemon, wild Pokemon, or both. Around Pokemon, she's extremely kind and gentle. She would never intentionally hurt any Pokemon, be it her own or a wild one, to make them do something she wants. Even after battles, she goes to her opponent to make sure their Pokemon is okay (and to tell them 'that was a great match' or something like that). Around her closest friends though, she can be very friendly; she loves to have fun, and likes to tease others.
Rain does very well in serious situations. Although she can seem silly and strange and times, when it comes to something serious she'll immediately sober up. She has a strong internal drive to do what's right, and will often put others before herself. She has a strict sense of honor and loyalty, and although much of the time she sound a bit mean to others, including her friends, she'll always stand up for those she cares about. She also fights for justice, disliking anything unfair. Rain can often seem emotionless and uncaring, but deep down she really does care; she just doesn't like to show it. Her emotionless air is sometimes due to her intelligence; Rain can, on occasion, be so analyzing that she lets go of her feelings to make a clever and unbiased decision. In urgent situations though, Rain will throw all thoughts of planning away and will act on impulse, basing her decisions and what her heart tells her. This can sometimes get her in trouble though; Rain sometimes has to learn that she needs to combine her mind with her heart to make good decisions.
Like everyone, though, Rain has flaws. One of her biggest flaws is that she can be quite blunt and sarcastic with her words, and sometimes doesn't think before she says something. This often causes her to hurt other people's feelings unintentionally, and it sometimes takes her a while to realize what she's done. She'll usually apologize though and usually doesn't mean to hurt others. Another one of her flaws is that she can be set in her opinions and a bit stubborn to accept something else. She doesn't hesitate to voice her opinion, and will defend her view fiercely. Rain can also seem rather emotionless at times, hiding what she's really feeling. This may turn people off, as they sometimes see her as cold. Rain's also quite indecisive (hence why she's a trainer, coordinator, breeder, AND professor), and it sometimes takes her a while to make a decision. She hates to be rushed though, or told what to do in any way, and is a very independent free-spirited individual. Despite this, she can sometimes switch personalities completely and become very 'mystical'. She'll act like she's disconnected from everyone else, in her own magical world.
History:
Parents: Jasmine Ravenwood (mother), John McFae (father)
Siblings: None
Other Relatives: Lilian Wang (cousin), Azure McFae (aunt), Grant Wang (uncle-in-law)
Rain was born on May 16th, during a light spring rainfall. Because of this, and because of the color of her eyes, her parents named her Rain. Her mother Jasmine was a coordinator as well as a user of aura, and her father John was a former gym leader. Both were wonderful, loving parents, and Rain grew up in a happy, caring family. As she got a bit older (around when she was four or five), her mother started teaching her how to control her ability to use aura, while her father began to teach her about Pokemon and battling. Rain also loved to play with her parents' Pokemon, especially her father's Blaziken, Blaze. She also liked to play with her older cousin Lilian, despite the other girl being a full ten years older.
When Rain was six though, the epidemic came. And like it did more so many others, it left Rain devastated. The six-year-old was now an orphan. With nowhere else to go, her cousin, Lilian, took her in and Rain lived in the Lab. She also inherited her parents' most treasured Pokemon; Blaze, an Altaria named Aria that belonged to her mother, and her mother's Butterfree, Mugen (the rest of the Pokemon were released). Blaze, Aria, and Mugen were almost like parents to her. When Lilian was busy in the Lab, the three were always there to be with her. When she was nine, Lilian gave her an Espeon she had gotten from another person who had to give the Pokemon away because they were going to live with a relative who didn't like Pokemon. She named the Espeon Lily after her cousin, and Lily immediately came to love Rain. A year later, Rain set out on her own Pokemon journey through the four regions, competing in battles and contests. She returned when she was about 14, and has been living in Cameron ever since.

Jolt was caught as a level 18 Electrike in Rain's journey through Hoenn.
Very few people such as her cousin Lilian know about Rain's abilities as a user of aura and being able to understand Pokemon.
Rain knows Soul, a Lucario, very well, and Soul often will help Rain or battle with her.
RP Example:
<"Hello Rain."> The black-haired girl sitting at the edge of Sapphire Lake turned, smiling, to face an approaching Blaziken. "Hey Blaze," the girl named Rain replied. "What'cha doin' here?"
Blaze smiled and sat down next to his trainer. <"That's an interesting question, considering I live here with you."> Rain blushed. "You know what I mean."
<"You know I'm kidding,"> the Blaziken said, and Rain laughed. "Of course I know that," the trainer scoffed, although there was a joking tone in her voice. "I know you so well I can tell you where you are at any given time."
Blaze rolled his eyes. <"You know as well as I do that has nothing to do with you knowing me well,"> the Blaziken objected, earning a chuckle from Rain.
"So seriously, what do you need?" Blaze immediately sobered. <"Soul wanted me to tell you to meet him at the Tree of Beginning tomorrow. He said it had to do with Mew."> Rain frowned.
"Really? Interesting..." The teen then perked up again. "Thanks Blaze." Leaning up and kissing her Blaziken on the cheek, the girl ran into the cottage behind them. Blaze smiled. Even though he missed John, there was no doubt he was definitely very happy living with Rain...
