Character Name

Raina Wallis

Also Known As

The Wicked Bitch of the West
Lupa

First Seen in

The Lunatic Café

Character Description

The details tend to change, because Raina could change her appearance at will. She had her real shape, and another humanoid form that she assumed when she thought she might do something nefarious. Raina's "nefarious" shape was tall and slender, with a triangular face and a chin that was a little too pointed. Her hair was a rich reddish auburn, which she wore long and straight, and her eyes were a strange amber-brown that matched her hair. When she assumed her real shape, she was about three inches taller than when Anita first saw her, and the shape of her face was slightly different. Her eyes were wider and more centered in her face, and her cheekbones were high and sculpted, and Anita described her as 'gorgeous'. Her two forms looked like they could have been sisters. Raina often wore short skirts and high heels, and was the only shapeshifter Anita knew who would wear furs. For formal occasions at the lupanar, Raina would put her hair up and wear only diamond jewelry and gold chains.

Character Factoids

• Raina was and is a troublemaker; being dead hasn't slowed her up much.
• She was 'out' as a werewolf, and would act publicly as alpha when Marcus could not.
• She could heal with her body, which always ended in sex. Most everything she did ended up in sex.
• Raina performed many of the functions of Bolverk; if the punishment was severe, she would do it, and be quite creative about it.
• Marcus really loved her, but was corrupted by her. Rafael considered that she had cost the Ulfric his honor.
• She would hurt people just because she could, she was a sexual sadist.
• Raina turned Jason by carving him up during sex, and didn't really care if he lived or not.
• She took Richard's virginity when he was nineteen, and taught him to like things he now considers perverse. They were able to have sex by running their beasts through each other.
• She taught Nathaniel to like many aspects of BSDM, and used him in many of her movies, including one where she bit his penis off.
• Gabriel, the leopard passant, alpha of the wereleopards, was her particular friend and movie making partner. Together they had sex with Jean-Claude to cement the wolves' backing of his claims to being Master of St. Louis. The evening was negotiated ahead of time, but Jean-Claude still considered it rape, and only participated because he needed the wolves for his power base.
• Raina offered to be Richard's Lupa after he killed Marcus, but he didn't want her. Raina was aware that Richard thought her corrupt.
• Anita killed her as she and Gabriel attempted to film a snuff movie starring Anita.
• Raina first turned up as munin when Anita tried to heal Nathaniel, and the other wolves (Teddy, Kevin, and Lorraine) remembered her and called up her spirit.
• Marianne (the vargamor of Verne's pack in Tennessee), and Anita spent six months learning how to deal with Raina as munin. Anita does not so much control her as cope with her; Raina's aid always comes with a price, which is usually sex, violence, or forcing Anita to share in a ghastly memory. She can help Anita heal or offer information.
