Rayne Marino

Overview
Rayne is the main antagonist in the Prologue, whom Malamchante inadvertantly led to Cecilios. She attacks from within the forest and Cecil's house, depending on Cecil's current location.

Appearance
Rayne appears to be a tall humanoid woman with long, thick brown hair and pale skin. Being a Capra, she shares the defining traits of her species; long goat horns, goat ears, a thick black tail with fluff at the end, and limbs that end in large blackened claws. She takes her goat-like traits specifically after a great kudu.

Clothing wise, she wears a black off-the-shoulder long sleeved shirt over a fishnet crop top, short black shorts, and knee high socks with holes cut out for her clawed toes. Her left knee sock is held up by a garter belt.

Personality
Serious and sadistic, Rayne is a loner who focuses on her goals and her own survival. Being carnivorous, she tends to prey on humans and doesn't pity them in the slightest. Because of her humanoid appearance, she can be considered extremely heartless and cruel, as many forget that she is more like a lethal predator than a human. She behaves animalistically, moving in erratic ways and occasionally snarling.

Skills

 * Ambush: Rayne is able to move very quietly when she tries and will wait in a dark room to catch Cecil off guard. If outside, she will perch in a tree, waiting to swoop down on him.
 * Echolocation: When unable to find Cecil, Rayne may let out a noise akin to a door creaking; this is her echolocation, and while the range is limited, if Cecil gets caught in it she will immediately attack him. Cecil can avoid this by hiding behind an object, therefore causing the sound to bounce off of the object instead of him.
 * Tail Grab: Whether attacking or hiding, Rayne may outstretch her tail at any time and attempt to grab Cecil with it. If caught, a struggle event will ensue. Should Cecil succeed the event, he will escape with a small amount of damage. Should he fail it, Rayne will crush him with her tail and kill him instantly.

Story
Due to her deadly nature, Rayne was hired to hunt down and kill Malamchante after he was deemed a threat to the secrecy of Cylse. After inflicting nearly-fatal wounds to him that inevitably cause him to crash into the powerlines, she tracks him down to Cecilios's house. Realizing that Cecil knows what Mally is, she begins to target him, as he is now also a threat to the secrecy of Cylse. After multiple unsuccessful attacks, Rayne finally manages to ambush him. Mally is eventually able to fight her off by gouging out one of her eyes, but not before she bites Cecil's arm, unintentionally infecting him. Rayne retreats while Cecil begins to undergo the painful transformation of becoming a Capra.

Trivia

 * Rayne's last name, Marino, is based off of Jess Mariano from Gilmore Girls.
 * After the events of the prologue, Rayne retires from her job as a hitman due to her vision being impaired.
 * Despite Rayne having the traits of a great kudu, Cecilios ends up with the traits of a black bengal goat. This is because Rayne's mother had the traits of a black bengal goat, a recessive gene for Capras, which Rayne therefore carried on and transferred to Cecil.
