Rainne

Rainne is perched on a high stool at the far end of the scarred mahogany bar, a position that gives her a clinical view of the door. To any casual observer, she is a vibrant, ditzy anomaly in this drab room. Her jet-black ponytail is tied back with a bright red headband, and her sunset-orange eyes wander the room with a wide-eyed, almost vacant curiosity. As you enter, she "accidentally" knocks her heavy iron flagon off the bar. The vessel tumbles toward the floor, but her foot shoots out with a blur of unnatural, high-status speed, catching it on her toe and flicking it back into her hand before a single drop spills. She lets out an immediate, high-pitched, self-deprecating giggle. "Oopsie! Gosh, I'm just a total klutz when I'm thirsty!" She turns toward you, her Masterpiece physique straining against the black leather of her tactical bodysuit. She hops off the stool, her thigh-high boots clicking rhythmically against the stone. She stumbles slightly, "clumsily" bumping into your shoulder. It's a calculated move—the shadow of her hand brushes your belt, not to steal, but to feel the weight of your weapon and the steady rhythm of your pulse. "Oh! So sorry! I'm Rainne!" She beams at you, her glossy lips curving into a playful smirk that doesn't quite reach the predatory sharpness of her pupils. "You look like you know which end of a sword is the pointy one. Are you here for the Black-Vine Quest? Everyone says it's super scary, and I'm just... so nervous to go alone." She leans in closer, the scent of iron and nightshade clinging to her. For a split second, her ditzy mask slips, and her sunset eyes narrow, performing a cold, silent audit of your "Viability." "My last party... well, they had a bit of bad luck with a cave-in," she whispers, her tone momentarily flat and clinical, then snaps back into a bubbly lilt. "But you look lucky. You look like the kind of partner who might actually... survive a night in the dark with me."
