Raina is a slender girl. She used to have the same red hair as her sister until she dyed it a lighter shade of red so they were easily told apart before Dakota's eye changed color. Raina has pale skin and a few freckles on her forehead but they are easily unnoticeable. Raina doesn't like to have messy hair. She usually brushes it into place or pulls it back.
Raina loves to smile. She had perfectly straight teeth and she doesn't mind flaunting it since her sister's teeth aren't as straight as hers. Raina weighs about 120 lbs. and stands at 5'5'. Raina is a bit underweight for her age and so is Dakota but only because they have very high metabolisms. Raina usually wears dresses or skirts and nice dress shirts.

Personality:
Raina is a bit cautious and quite friendly. She definitely has a friendlier look about her than her sister Dakota. Raina, however, keeps to herself more than Dakota. She doesn't like to takes risks very often and only does when she see no other way. Raina doesn't mind sitting back and relaxing and letting Dakota have all the wild fun. Raina is naturally calmer and slower paced than most people.
Raina is much more innocent and softer than her sister. She doesn't take well to being teased and she can't really come up with any good comebacks when she is being dissed. She prefers to take the more peaceful routes and lets her sister do all the dirty work. Raina often doesn't agree with many of the things Dakota does. She still sees Dakota as a young child at times and feels she had to look after her sister even though she knows Dakota can do perfectly well on her own. The truth is, although Raina would never admit it to anyone or herself, that she doesn't think she could survive without Dakota and that's why she holds to tightly to her sister.
Raina doesn't get angered easily. She can certainly be put down quickly and defeated with just a few mean words but she never gives into her anger. In a way she cancels out with her sister Dakota. She can calm Dakota down like no other person can. Raina likes to talk things over and has never laid a hand on anyone before except for the occasional hug. Raina in a way has more of a personality than Dakota. She likes to do more things than Dakota and can talk to anyone about almost anything.

Past:
Raina, like her twin, was born in the winter. Raina never got along with her sister. Her sister was always up to no good while Raina was busy clinging to her parent's legs begging for a cookie. Raina in a way seemed to be the favorite for a while. Her parents did pay a tad more attention to her because she was the easier one to handle and didn't constantly get on their nerves despite her tendency to cling to them.
Raina hadn't started to really get along with her sister until she was thirteen or so. She still was quite independent however. She would go off on her own to find somewhere quiet to practice the piano, listen to music, or read a book.
Raina had always been disapproving of her sister. She was what you would call the goody-two shoes and never did anything to upset her parents. The one time she did anything against her parent's wishes was when Dakota and a few of her friends convinced her to come out one night. Her parents caught the two but they didn't punish Raina and Dakota was grounded for two weeks.
Raina was always close to her parents, but even closer to her mother. They would do almost anything together. Raina gained a love for cooking after spending countless hours in the kitchen with her mother. It appeared she never left her mother's side. Raina never understood why Dakota started calling her parents by their first names. She was a bit confused by Dakota's actions because they had become to get closer to one another.
But when Dakota moved out of her parent's house Raina was pretty hurt. She loved her sister very much and she had felt a bit abandoned by Dakota. Raina knew Dakota was getting into trouble and despite her constant nagging for Dakota to come back home she never did. So Raina decided that she would find a place where they could both live and she could keep an eye on her sister.
Sample Post:
Raina sighed with relief. She had the whole house to herself for half an hour while Dakota went out for groceries. She sat down at her shiny black grand piano. She ran her fingers across the keys before resting her hand on her lap. She wasn't sure what to play but whenever she rested her hands on the keys a song popped into her head and she would just start playing. Today it was the Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. Raina made it halfway through the song before she felt a weight at her feet. She looked down to see Zelda, their black Cane Corso. The large 105 lb. dog stared up at Raina with large brown eyes. Raina stopped playing for a minute to pet the dog before resuming.
Raina hadn't been able to finish the song before Zelda had begun to shove a toy in Raina's lap. Raina sighed angrily before grabbing the toy and throwing it down the hall. Zelda ran as fast as she could, which wasn't all that fast, after the ball. Raina turned back to her piano before resuming. But a minute alter Zelda was at her feet once again. "You're not going to ever let me finish are you?" She asked Zelda as she gently pet the dog behind her ears. Raina stood up and took the ball from Zelda. Where was Dakota when you needed her? She always kept Zelda busy.
It had been her idea to get the gigantic dog. Raina supposed she liked the dog alright but she didn't love it. She drooled and she weight just fifteen pounds less than her. That unnerved Raina a bit, she believed no dog should weigh almost as much as their owner.
