Appearance: Overall, Raleigh has a very unkempt yet practical appearance. She has a pale-olive skin tone that is covered in freckles and acne, especially along her cheeks. She stands at 5'5, and has a medium build. Her signature strawberry-blonde hair is thick, disheveled, and messy, and falls down to about her waist when she is standing up straight. She has slightly large arms, which her friends call her "man arms", as they have some muscle tone to them. She also has very definitive calf muscles, as she travels quite often. Upon inspection, one will notice the girl's shiny emerald-colored eyes. Raleigh's natural voice is moderately deep. Her voice becomes slightly shrill when she is angered or frightened.
As for clothing, Raleigh isn't too picky about what she wears. She prefers comfort over style in all of her outfits, as she is a traveler and is used to constantly moving. In the cold weather, she can be seen wearing a forest green "parka dress" that contains white fur on the inside. Underneath her dress, she wears a heat-containing long sleeved green shirt. Raleigh also wears a brown wool scarf around her neck, as well as a furry white Russian-style hat on the top of her head. When the weather is nice, Raleigh swaps her heavy dress for a green shirt with elbow-length sleeves, and brown shorts that match the color of her scarf. There is one thing that Raleigh is constantly wearing: her brown boots. She's even been caught wearing them in her sleep. For some reason, the girl refuses to take them off. They are her trademark, and her most prized possessions.
Raleigh, to say the least, is an ambitious young woman who isn't even partially afraid of the unknown. She embraces change as much as she does the winter snow, and will not be afraid to completely turn into someone else in a day's time. She is fierce and carefree, tending to dive right into the midst of things without thinking about what she's doing. A constant theme with Raleigh is acting before thinking. She is slightly pugnacious, and will gallantly rise to any challenge if she is called to it. Although she can be aggressive and reckless with no sense of restraint or elegance, Raleigh is righteous, compassionate, and loyal. Being undoubtedly responsible, the human girl will not fail to come to the aid of those who need it, and refuses to leave anyone in danger behind. She is very goal-oriented, and strives to become the best person she can possibly be. Challenges and helping others are just a part of her determination to become humble and just.
With Raleigh, actions tend to speak louder than words. Socially, she's upbeat and charismatic. However, she is confused by the invisible rules of society, despite the fact that she is clearly intelligent and responsible. She gets very perplexed over mind-games, (although she will use them herself sometimes when she is jealous) and can be awkward in front of popular and flirtatious people. Her humor and advice from friends can get her out of most embarrassing engagements, but when she fails to use her mind to free herself, she will literally run from situations. She does this when she is guilty or ashamed as well, instantly changing herself or her environment when she feels like she has done something wrong. This can be a curse as well as a blessing.
Although she can be mysterious when it comes to her past, Raleigh is honest in just about everything she does. Because of this, she is terrible at keeping her emotions inside, as well as grasping anything spiritual-related. She can make rash decisions when bottling up her emotions, and it usually doesn't take long for someone to find out that she's got something on her chest. Although she usually expresses her insecurities and anger in fiery ways, she can be very pessimistic, secluded, and brooding at times. This usually tends to happen when she thinks about her status as perhaps the only human in Ooo, among other things.
History
Much of Raleigh's history is unknown. The first definitive information about the human girl comes from when she was around nine years old. Found alone in the wilderness, she was taken in and raised by a family of water elementals. She considered the water-themed nymphs her family, and treated them with respect throughout her tween years. It was in this time that she developed her remarkable cooking skills, as well as her admirably tough nature due to mistreatment and bullying from other kids.
When she was about thirteen years of age, Raleigh left the group of nymphs to travel the land of Ooo on her own. She developed a nomadic personality, always changing her place of residence every week. She traveled through the deserts, the mountains, and the plains until she finally decided to settle down in an abandoned cabin in the Ice Kingdom. In time, she was able to upgrade the small mass of broken slabs of wood into an actual home with a chimney and a fireplace. She lived alone in her cabin until about a year later, when one day, Raleigh happened to stumble upon a brown lamb buried in the snow. She woke the lamb up, finding that it had amnesia and could not remember anything in its past or why it was buried in the thick snow. Raleigh befriended the lamb, and after two weeks of living together, the two are going to be moving to the Candy Kingdom where the climate is MUCH warmer, and the population is much higher.
Powers and Abilities
As a human, Raleigh does not possess any magical or supernatural abilities. However, as a skilled adventurer, she does have exceptional strength, endurance, agility, flexibility, and fighting skills. She's a natural when it comes to weapons. When she finds a new weapon, it does not take her much time until she is able to master its use. She has attained a strong intellect from her experience in the wilderness, and has great survival instincts. Raleigh is also is very cunning, and can use her brains as well as her brawn in a heated situation.
As far as Raleigh's skills and hobbies go, she is a talented baker, being able to bribe people just from the scents of her marvelous creations. She is great at improvising and working with what she has in order to make a delicious product. Her signature dishes include strawberry banana pie, blackberry jam-filled cake, and her classic chocolate chip cookies. As well as a master at all things pastry, Raleigh is an expertise in video games, and an encyclopedia when it comes to movies, SPECIFICALLY classics from before the Great Mushroom War. The human girl also knows how to play the ukulele, but is merely an amateur compared to other musicians in Ooo.
Weaknesses
Although she seems very strong physically and mentally, Raleigh the Human has her fair share of weaknesses. For one, Raleigh is fatally allergic to all kinds of nuts. Her skin becomes itchy every time she touches a nut, and when she consumes one, her throat tightens and she starts to choke. She had the misfortune in her childhood to consume a walnut, and was saved thanks to quick thinking and last-minute magic. When she got older, Raleigh was lucky enough to obtain an epinephrine auto-injector, and so now she doesn't have to worry about sudden death from accidentally consuming nuts.
Although nobody has seen her near one, Raleigh acclaims to have a profound fear of dragons. Her fear is so intense, that when someone merely mentions a dragon, she will flip out. Her anxiety has led to her intense hatred of reptiles. Every time she sees a lizard or a snake, she will try to kill it. She has morals when it comes to an intelligent reptilian being, but for small cold-blooded creatures, Raleigh shows them no mercy.
Perhaps her greatest weakness is her stubbornness, as well as her impulsive personality. People who know Raleigh tend to call this side of her her "teenage attitude". Raleigh has a very difficult time bottling up her emotions, and has been known to clearly express jealousy, hatred, and anger. She may not have a short-fuse, but when her tolerance comes to an end, the girl can be a wild and ferocious she-beast. Her impulsiveness is also the reason why Raleigh has a hard time being elegant and sugarcoated. She tends to put honesty and practicality first, and although this is usually a good thing, it can lead to her demise.
Items
Right now, Raleigh does not have anything of absolute great importance. Most of the stuff she has can be considered ancient artifacts from the Great Mushroom War. There are a few items that Raleigh is always carrying with her. First off, as mentioned previously, she is always wearing her boots. They are her most prized possessions. Besides her boots, she also regards her device that can play movies and video games as equally valuable. For safe measures, she never leaves her home without her injector. The rest of her things are very random and are of little to no importance. The girl contains all of her items in a white-colored backpack.
As for weapons, Raleigh has been weaponless her whole life. Formerly, however, she did own a golden hammer with a jewel encrusted handle. She obtained it when her and her lamb traveled to the Evil Forest. A group of imps kidnapped her companion, and while rescuing the lamb, she found the hammer among the many piles of stolen jewels and treasures at the imps' campsite. Afterwards, she had to give up her hammer in exchange for a new home. Although she is disappointed, Raleigh is eager to find a new weapon. She desperately wants a sword, and would kill for one if she had to.
Companion: Flake the sheep (known as lamb only because of his height) is Raleigh's loyal companion. He is able to magically shape shift into any creature found in Ooo. (With the exception of animals and plants. He can only transform into creatures found on earth AFTER the event of the Mushroom War.)
Companion Description: Flake, to say the least, is quite the opposite of his friend, Raleigh. While Raleigh is more carefree and wild, Flake is more proper, traditional, mature, and tightly-wound. Sometimes, he doesn't quite know how to let his hair down and have a good time. Although the two friends are different by definition and can get in arguments quite often, they both recognize that they need each other in order to get by. Both Flake and Raleigh consider their companion a part of themselves that they don't have. Flake helps Raleigh to become more restrained, while Raleigh inspires Flake to let loose. Both are quite good influences on each other.
As for his physical description, Flake is five years old. (Translating to twenty-seven years old in human years.) He can be classified by his signature chocolate-brown wool. He was actually kind enough to donate some of his wool to Raleigh so that she could make a scarf. Although he comes up to about just below Raleigh's waist, he is smaller than most sheep his age, earning him the reputation of being a lamb from Raleigh, as well as most strangers. He has wide blue eyes, and a heavy British accent that took Raleigh by surprise when she first met him. Speaking of their meeting, the two friends met when Raleigh found Flake buried underneath the snow of the Ice Kingdom. When the sheep woke up, he had forgotten everything including where he lived, why he was in the Ice Kingdom, and even his own name. Raleigh decided to name him Snowflake, but after much disapproval and resentment, she shortened his name to Flake instead. A little fun fact about Flake is that he is addicted to tea. He wouldn't mind having a tea party in the Candy Kingdom sometime soon just so he can make some of the delicious beverage.
