ABOUT

Raina is a woman with a magnetic presence and a sharp intellect, her charisma and silver tongue effortlessly drawing others under her influence. Behind her poised demeanor lies a fervent belief in the power of evolution, a conviction that certain individuals possess the potential to transcend humanity and achieve greatness.

Driven by her belief in the possibility of transformation and her own exceptional nature, Raina navigates life with a sense of purpose and determination. She possesses an insatiable curiosity, constantly seeking out new knowledge and experiences in her quest for personal growth and enlightenment.

Raina's talents extend beyond her social prowess; she is also a master of deception and manipulation, able to weave intricate webs of deceit to further her own goals. While she possesses the ability to read people and exploit their weaknesses, Raina often adopts the guise of a female 'savior', batting her eyelashes, smiling sweetly, and showing off her doe eyes and supposed benevolence.

Whether bearing gifts or offering her services, Raina's acts of kindness are often calculated moves to manipulate others to her advantage. While some of these gestures may be genuine, Raina always ensures that she takes something for herself as payment, and she doesn't take kindly to being 'cheated' or denied what she feels she is owed.

In addition to her skills in manipulation, Raina is also highly proficient in biochemistry. Her keen intellect and meticulous attention to detail have earned her acclaim and recognition among her peers in the scientific community. She is driven by a passion for unlocking the hidden potential within the building blocks of life itself, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in her quest for knowledge and discovery.

Despite her moral ambiguity and willingness to engage in unsavory deeds to further her own goals, Raina's actions are not motivated by a desire to cause harm or hurt for its own sake. At her core, she harbors a genuine desire to help and provide for others, even if it ultimately serves her own interests.

Raina's independence is a defining trait, as she refuses to be beholden to anyone or anything but her own ambitions. Loyalty is a foreign concept to Raina, who will gladly sever ties with anyone who no longer serves her interests, regardless of past allegiances or connections.

Raina started her life as a homeless urchin in Thailand, part of a group of self-identified 'freaks' running scams on tourists. Eventually, she was taken in by Calvin Zabo, a dangerous man with a dark past, along with her fellow orphans. Raina's intelligence and drive led her to study and earn a degree in biochemistry.

She then joined Project Centipede, a shadowy organization attempting to create super-soldiers, serving as both a recruiter and one of the lead scientists. After her partner, the other scientist, suffered a fatality, Raina wasn't exactly concerned and easily took over the responsibility of directly managing the Project.

Raina's ambition and cunning led to her promotion to working alongside Mr. Edison Po for the elusive 'Clairvoyant', the unseen figure at the head of the entire Centipede Project. When Mr. Po failed to deliver, the Clairvoyant cut his life short and appointed Raina in his place.

Briefly imprisoned by S.H.I.E.L.D. after Project Centipede was shut down, Raina was released in the wake of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s fall and began briefly working for H.Y.D.R.A. Agent John Garrett. However, after Garrett's defeat by S.H.I.E.L.D., Raina resumed her life as a free agent without any fanfare. And she's still free and independent today.
