Raine, a character in the Immortal Desires series, is a vampire, and a Venandi Elder. She is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 2, although her name isn't revealed until Book 2, Chapter 14.
Appearance
Raine has short grayish black hair, brown eyes, and dark skin. She wears a dark red lipstick, and a long black dress with golden patterns and golden gloves.
Personality
Genevieve calls Raine a bloodthirsty brute. Raine believes in facing the enemy directly instead of hiding. One instance that showcases that, is Book 2, Chapter 14, when she blows up the hunters' lab that contains silver talismans.
Background
Raine seems to have a bad relationship with the Clements, which can be seen from how often she argues with them, and from the fact that when the Venandis are found dead in the woods in Book 1, Chapter 9, she believes that the Clements are behind it.

Your Character
Even though the two of you don't interact directly, Raine appreciates your tact if you wear the premium outfit in Book 1, Chapter 16. However, in the following chapter, she states that her patience is running thin with you.
Powers and Abilities
- Enhanced Strength: Vampires are stronger than most humans.
- Enhanced Speed: Vampires can travel faster than humans.
- Ley Lines: Ley lines are underground sources of energy that vampires can utilize. They give vampires the ability to be resilient to sunlight.
Weaknesses
- Aversion to Silver: Silver can burn vampires. Several vampire-hunting talismans use silver as a ward against vampires, and specifically prepared silver can paralyze them.
- Decapitation: Dismembering or manually removing the head of a vampire will result in instant and permanent death.
- Sunlight: Originally, vampires found sunlight to be debilitating and were greatly weakened under its gaze. This changed when vampires found ley lines of power that nullified this weakness.
- Ley Lines: While the ley lines nullify the weaknesses vampires have to the sun, this is dependent upon contact with the ley line and if the vampire leaves Crimson Beech, they will swiftly lose this power.
- Vampire Blood: Vampire blood is poisonous to other vampires. Even a drop or two is enough to make a vampire ill.
- Bloodlust: When vampires do not regularly feed, they are in danger of turning "feral", unable to reason with or talk to until the thirst for blood is quenched.
