Raina Tallatina
Champion of Eldonna, Raina Tallatina

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Raina was born to Jostra and Vander Tallatina, high elvish nobility of Issilidur. While she was born into wealth and power, duty and obligation came with it. She was trained to be an elvish noblewoman, with particular attention paid to her combat abilities, for her mother hoped she would follow her footsteps into the Glass Rangers. While Raina generally enjoyed her lessons, she resented the obligations they represented.
As she grew older, an match with a fellow noble was arranged and she was encouraged to join the Rangers. However, Raina had fallen for Vakan, and based on his experience with the Rangers, refused to join them and broke off her engagement. When Vakan was later discovered to be a traitor, the shame and embarrassment was too much to bear, and Raina ran. She ended up in Kurst, where she acted as local protector for the town and maintained friendly relations with the local monastery.
All this changed when Ira came into town and zombies started appearing....Thus, the adventures began.
After defeating the white dragon Tulzog, Raina found a mythic bow in his hoard. This bow was the bow of Eldonna, the Elvish moon goddess and patron deity. Its discovery and Raina's mastery of it meant she was the Champion of Eldonna - another duty to fulfill. This one, though, she'd do her own way.
