hello there, my name is railynn jones but you can call me rai. i'm a/an adult and 24 so that makes me a gryffindor alum at hogwarts. You could say I'm brave, daring and chivalrous but I personally think that I am scrappy, fierce and loving. People say I look a lot like daisy ridley, but I don't really see it...

At 5'8", Rai is rather tall. She is thin and her body is laced with lean muscle she has built up over the years. Her light brown hair is often just past shoulder length and she rarely let's it grow out longer than that. If it does, she'll always put it up because she can't stand it being in her way. Her wardrobe is anything easy to move in. She has several ear rings in each ear, and a tattoo of two doves on her collarbone.

overall personality:
Rai is a broken kid. She is slow to trust, wary and always on her guard. She is always on her toe, ready for the next thing, always thinking ahead. She focuses well and she focuses hard. When she wants something, it is very difficult to stop her from getting it. She learns new things quickly and has a strong intuition about people. She is a fast talker, charming and likable, easy to strike a deal with.
On the inside, Rai is bitter and sad and desperately wants to be needed. She likes when people give her jobs to do and tell her she's the 'only one who can manage it'. It makes her feel wanted, needed and loved. She has an ever growing thirst for validation, one that she is sure will never be quenched. She is a classic case of pretending not to care but really cares very deeply about things going on and the people around her. She watches from the sidelines when needed but also jumps in head first if she feels confident about success. She is action driven, even if that action is waiting for the next move.
When she loves she loves hard and fast. As soon as she decides she trusts you she latches on, making you one of the most important people in her universe. Her biggest fear is that she'll get this attached to someone who will betray her or won't want her. She just wants to belong, and she wants to be loved as much as she loves.
She has quite a temper if you get unlucky enough to see that side of her (which many in the black market world have). It can be triggered rather easily. She doesn't believe that she is a damsel in distress in any way shape or form and gets easily annoyed if you treat her as such. She is ruthless when required and casual about the crimes she commits to survive. She is mischievous and wary, but slow to trust. She is quiet and gentle, unless she needs to break out the charm or once you really get to know her. Then she becomes much easier to talk to, but the walls are hard to get past.

a brown owl named BeeBee
history:
Rai had a happy life for a while, but it was short lived. Her father had an affair with a muggle before he was married to Amethyst, resulting in her brother. He took his son away from his muggle mother to keep her safe from the magical world and raise him there on his own, until he met Amethyst and got married. They had Jo many years later, when her brother was almost old enough to go to Hogwarts.
The family was comfortable with fortunes, but her brother was unhappy and didn't want anything to do with his baby half sister. Jo didn't notice for a while, but it started to hurt her feelings as they got older. When she turned eight, however, both of her parents died in, yes, a car crash.
Even wizards can die in car crashes if they don't act fast. Can't do magic if your brain is smashed instantly. They were on a vacation in muggle Greece when it happened. Her brother and Rai were sent to the Pupullus Domum Orphanage.
Rai didn't mind the orphanage, but all she wanted was for her half brother to stay by her side and be family with her. He refused, and she spend the years there dwelling in sadness against him, and anger. All she wanted was a family and her last remaining family member wouldn't even speak to her. She grew bitter and lonely, and tried to counter it with making friends and staying upbeat, but desperation was brewing inside her. Then her brotherwent to Hogwarts, and she was more alone then ever.
The orphanage staff tried, and she pretended they were helping. She didn't want new family. She wanted her brother to act like one. But she couldn't force him, and he was at school anyway for most of the year.
He graduated Hogwarts before she even got there and was out of the orphanage in no time, not bothering to say goodbye. She started school, and thrived in Gryffindor house. These people were almost like a family. Almost. If she wasn't too stubborn about wanting her own blood relatives to care about her she could have been even happier.
They were a nice alternative, for a while, but she started running with a sketchy crowd. There was no 'family' like the world of mischief. People who looked after each other but could betray at any turn. It was thrilling, and her desperate heart decided it was good enough.
When she graduated she already had friends in the underground, friends who didn't require anything from her other than her skills with sneaking around and cutting deals. She was good at it, and she started to make a living off being a thief for hire. She got attached to this life. It was easier then trying to face how bad things actually were. She has trained hard in the art of legilimens and occlumens, not wanting any other black market magical people to be able to read her mind.
But, a year ago, she was arrested. The aurors were more on guard then ever after the April fools day kidnapping and the attack on Kings Cross, and most of the underground didn't stand a chance. Strangely, though, the auror who arrested her didn't take her prisoner. They offered her a deal. Use her skills to assist a secret group of 'heroes' or be imprisoned.
The decision was an easy one to make. Not only did she NOT want to be imprisoned, but she could actually do some good. Maybe this was her chance to change her life and have... Some semblance of family that was actually worth trusting.
So she started working with the Order of the Phoenix. She fell in love with them fast, and has found incredibly joy working for them in the crime world she knows so well. From bets on the tri wizard tournament to working with Elaine Dupree, and watching her blow up ships, boats and schools, the underground has been busier than ever, and Rai has been listening closely.
