Raleigh used to be idealistic, she used to be trusting, she wanted to fall in love, and she did. Now she's learned. The knows the world isn't a place for ideals, or for true love. She knows it's not safe for a girl today, but she wants to change that. After what happened to her, she hardened herself, became guarded towards men and authority figures. She's not trusting, but she has a soft spot for young girls. She wants to take care of them, help them be safe, help them be strong. She's intellectual and she'll do whatever it takes to get where she needs to be, although she isn't sure where that is yet.

Raleigh was always an idealist. The world was a mess after the Storm, and still people rebuilt, that gave her hope that one-day the world would get back to normalcy. That she would get the chance to live a good life. She wanted to grow up, fall in love, do all of the romantic things you saw in the movies.
And fall in love she did. When she was sixteen she met a boy who made her feel like she was in a romance novel. She devoted all of her time and energy into making him happy, but there were some things she just couldn’t provide. He would get angry, get physical, and she would feel guilty for making him get that way. She blamed herself. One night, everything came to a head. He went too far. She spent days in the hospital and months in therapy. She had to attend court, testify and relive what he did to her.
She was changed, of course she was. Now Raleigh doesn’t believe in the kind of love she used to dream about, she knows she doesn’t live in a fantasy. She’s hardened. She doesn’t trust anymore, she doesn’t let herself be fooled.
Law never punished her rapist, but he was punished. She was just so angry after everything that had happened. The way the people in her small town looked at her like she was a liar, like she was the criminal. She found herself thinking about how she wished other people could see him as the monster that she saw. She wished everyone who looked at him would feel the horror she felt. She didn’t know that it would actually happen.
Not long after that, Dara found her. It seemed right to Raleigh that she would be the reincarnation of Hera, who so valued marriage and who was betrayed again and again. Raleigh plans to use her newfound strength to protect those like her, to make sure those girls never feel the pain she was forced to feel.
