Race: Human with mixed bloodlines Age: 4 years. (Yes, I know the pic is grown-up. Sue me. She will be. ;) ) Hair: Blonde Eyes: Amber Height: 3' 2" Weight: 53 lbs. Nature Outward: Mildly shy with first meetings, inquisitive, cheerful, gentle, easy to please. Inward: Cautious, intelligent, watchful, cheerful, likes to learn Background: Raelynn is the daughter of Kyla Ramsay and Draegon. Since last names aren't used in the Vast Night Kingdom, but are required in Belamy, Draegon made up a last name for his children, since Kyla wanted to reflect that they were legitimate children on the records in Belamy. Thus, Raelynn's last name is Rau (pronounced "row"). Draegon wanted to make Kyla happy, knowing she wanted a daughter but couldn't have one, because a daughter would kill her by taking her magic at birth. So Draegon hunted around and found a bloodline that would duplicate Kyla's magic in her as the child was born. The intentional influence of this particular bloodline carried additional attributes, the most obvious of which is a pair of feathered wings, making Raelynn look like an angel, though she isn't. Draegon knew this would please Kyla as well and did not stifle it.
