Rain is what appears to be a human female in her mid to late twenties who arrived to Yuriba in early 2011.
While a whole lot about the woman is unknown, she has purple eyes and a colorful head of hair, the latter of which quite possibly being the reason as to why she's called "Skittles" by her friends.
The most notable of friends consist of the entrepreneurs Miyako Tanaka and Shay Black, as well as Shima "Pon" Katase. It's said that her and Miyako are BFFs and share a unique friendship that's endured since their meeting at the 2012 Silent Auction.

Background
Early Life
Rain wasn't actually born with crazy hair and weird powers. She, like everyone else in her version of Earth, were pretty normal. A point during her early 20's came where more and more strange occurrences were cropping up around the globe. Whether due to some overarching cosmic power or radiation or stellar phenomenon, people with mutant powers started becoming more and more common. Rain was among those who was awakened, transformed, and subsequently, ostracized and/or studied.
Falling prey to an organization that wished to catalog and study metahumans, she submitted herself to their registration program and was marked as the first mutant to bear such identification. Slowly, as days and weeks wore on, she was given less and less freedom in the organization's compound, though she made a number of other friends during her time in what turned into eventual captivity. A daring escape led her to freedom, and a freedom that made her take to the sky and fly away until she couldn't fly anymore. Something during her flight drew her through the mists of reality and through them into Yuriba.
Early Yuriba
It wasn't too long after Rain arrived on Yuriba that she found a friend in a fellow speedster, Elora, and couch-surfed with her for a while. Despite concern for her friends back 'home', she was confident that they found their own ways to freedom, and started to learn to adapt to life in Yuriba. She occasionally had thoughts drift back to the others whenever she met someone familiar on the island, though she came to understand the meaning of parallel worlds after she met not one but two of 'herself' on the island.
Rain had occasional bits of friction with her 'castmates', and fell into various levels of being reclusive, either by staying indoors or by taking flight and exploring the island. It wasn't until 2012 that she fell into Miyako's crew by accident during the auction.
Recent Events
In the last couple of years, Rain has gotten pretty stuck in with the auction crew and 'Tanaka Enterprises', If she's not hanging with them, she can be found at the Beach Retreat, where Miyako had granted her stewardship of the residence so long as she didn't drink up all the booze and invited her to all the parties. Since that time, Rain has acquired the nickname 'Skittles' thanks to her rainbow hair, and in turn she calls Miyako 'Mags' for her mismatched purple eyes.
Their relationship has grown from best friends to something much closer, even to the point of the rainbow-haired speedster giving the woman a silver necklace with the nickname 'Mags' on it. For the 2014 edition of the Rose Night get-together, Rain even made a showing, trading in her tomboyish attire for a dress of some variety to show solidarity. The sky is barely the limit for this winged woman, but she's probably too lazy to go that high, especially when there's so many damn cool people down below.
Personal Data
Personality
Rain's personality is bright, brash, and loud. She's confident and cocky, but rarely is there actually an incident where she can't back her words up with her deeds in turn. Her confidence can be off-putting to some, because she's quick to show a prideful streak, but beneath all that she has a big heart that puts her friends' needs before her own. Those who can look past her loudness and self-proclaimed awesomeness will find plenty of kindness and caring to give.
Relationships
- Elora - Rain met a fellow metahuman and speedster in Elora. The two didn't get too far beyond playful flirting and close cohabitation, but their hang-gliding shenanigans are the stuff of legends and Rain will always have time for a hi-five with her friend.
- Miyako Tanaka - After an incident around the 2012 auction where Rain almost punched Iris in the face because she got too familiar, the rainbow-haired lass made fast friends with the auctioneer. After the duo won each others' auctions, a kiss and a date that the pair still have yet to cash in, they became much, much more than mere friends in the time they've known each other, sharing homes, support, and booze as well as good times whenever they get the chance. Almost inseparable they are.
- Haley - Through Miyako, Rain met Haley. There isn't too much more than a warm friendship there yet, but Rain's shared love of the purple-eyed auctioneer and Haley's easygoing personality make it all the easier for her to appreciate the pretty Texan.
Powers
- Sky-blue wings that allow flight. She can just barely break the sound barrier at top speed, and she can 'hide' her wings, making it easier to get through doors, or, y'know, sleep at night.
- Minor weather control. She can chase clouds around and make it rain in small local patches, but she really doesn't use these abilities much because it tends to infringe on local goddess powers.
- Being super awesome. Rain is too awesome for most people to handle.
Hobbies
Yuriba is a massive vacation resort to Rain, more or less. She has a good time in equal parts lounging on the beach, by the pool, or flying when the weather is nice. She's casual and chill, loves spending time in the company of friends or taking in the sights. She also loves to sing, a habit not many get to see. She can also dance. Also a habit not many get to witness.
Trivia
- Rain is indeed loosely based off of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic character Rainbow Dash. I blame Anna for me designing and playing her due to a music video she linked me once. DAMN YOU ANNA.
- The inspiration of this Rain comes between X-Men (for metahumans) and My Little Pony (for the core character)
- Though the Elements of Harmony don't exist in Rain's world (neither does Equestria), she still shows and upholds the virtue of Loyalty associated with her source material.
- A nod to Rainbow Dash being the first of the FiM characters to earn their 'Cutie Marks', Rain bears a tattoo on her upper arm that marks her as the first metahuman in her world to be officially registered and cataloged as a metahuman.
- Yes, she is 20% cooler.
