Raiah Theron

Half-Elf/Human, AKA ‘The Seeker’

Appearance

Raiah is described as a light-brown skinned, medium-height, slender Half-Elf bombshell with a dirty-blonde undercut. What stands out almost immediately is the uncovered patch of scarred skin where her right eye was, and the faded marked of Vecna on her right hand. Raiah walks with an air of flirty confidence about her and a soft, velvety voice. Her colleagues say it's all a front for the real her. That the moment Raiah steps into the interrogation room, a switch goes on. A stern, insightful tone picks her victim apart like she already knows all their secrets and is playing a chess game with them. Trying to see what it is that will make them break. Raiah doesn't break bones or flay skin or pick fingernails, not right away. She is a woman of information and blackmail. Looks don't kill, but Raiah does.

Backstory (WIP)

Early Life in Hadleigh

Raiah was born with a curved spine and partial facial paralysis due to a cleft lip. This gave her a speech impediment and earned her the cruel nickname “r*tard” by the other children. Raiah’s appearance made it hard to play with other children who threw mud and stone at her, mocked her speech, and made oinking noises at her when they passed her on the street. The western borough of the city of Hadleigh, Hammersmith, was home to thousands of homeless and impoverished people forgotten by the city. Rather than band together, some turned on one another, it wasn’t enough to just be poor, maybe you were an elf, or maybe you were deformed. This intersectionality would allow for the killings of one Benjamin Barker to go so unnoticed for so long. It’s the same culture that allowed a man like Benjamin Barker to go about his business, that turned Raiah away, right into Ben’s arms. When Raiah wasn’t at Ben’s barbershop helping him sweep, she was watching the pigs eat slop. Raiah admired the plump, pink farm animal for their simplicity. They ate food and minded their own business. Being compared to pigs for as long as she had, Raiah hung around them. They were the only creatures in Hammersmith that didn’t care about the way she looked.
