Personality
Raleigh has the reputation as a known heartbreaker and he/she has been paired publicly with sweet ingenues in the past. Despite this public persona, Raleigh appears more honest and truthful with you. He/she hates being forced to play nice for lazy, stupid-rich, fraud activists who raise millions of dollars every year but only spend 5% on actual charity work. Raleigh would also like to win awards for actually doing something (rather than be given an award just because he/she is a celebrity).

Your Character
Raleigh meets Your Character while she is waiting to audition on the One In a Million program. When Your Character's guitar is damaged, Raleigh offers her his/her guitar. In Chapter 4, he/she hides backstage while the audience chants his/her name. Raleigh tells you that in this line of work, it pays to be fashionably late. You have the (premium) option to warm up with Raleigh backstage, where he/she teaches you other vocal drills. If you tell Raleigh that the audience loves him/her, Raleigh points out that it isn't love, that it's infatuation. He/she grew up in the limelight. If you decide to kiss Raleigh, he/she teases you that you're in love with him/her.

In Chapter 6, Fiona Syed tells you and Raleigh that you two will be entering a fake relationship for the public, to boost your popularity as well as calm down Raleigh's wild public persona. You can choose to play up the relationship and in Chapter 7, you two attend a charity function together. In Chapter 11, after your fake relationship has run its course, you and Raleigh perform a "fake break-up" in front of curious onlookers. If you romantically pursue Raleigh, you two can become closer in Chapter 11.

After you disastrous performance at the Vinyls, Raleigh is among your true friends that tries to help you through it. You can also help him/her with his/her feelings regarding Sunset Skatepark and encourage Raleigh to perform with them at the Indio Music Festival in a premium scene of Chapter 15.
