Raelynn Teresa DuVille Raelynn (Ray to her father, Lynna to her mother) grew up in in Charouse to a Montaigne father and an Avalon mother. Her father is a very prosperous merchant and had established himself as a wealthy man with very powerful friends and connections. As a result, Raelynn was raised surrounded by servants and tutors, sent to a finishing school to gain the necessary talents that would allow her to socialize with nobility. Her father decided that as he didn't have a son, Raelynn would have the same instruction a son would have received, and made sure she was educated in the sciences and languages by a phalanx of tutors. Raelynn takes after her mother, being very small (4'7") and light, very dainty looking and light on her feet. Her slight figure makes her an excellent dancer as well as being very quick. Her unusual tutoring ensured some instruction in athletic sports, but with her size, she would never be particularly strong. Like Elaine (her mother), Raelynn has long wavy black hair and very fine features. Her eyes are her most distinguishing feature, being violet in color, with very fine eyebrows arching upward, and long sooty lashes fringing her large eyes. Elaine contributed to Raelynn's education teaching her the Avalon magic, of Glamor. Raelynn learned to control her powers at a very young age and enjoyed playing little pranks around the household. Raelynn learned her religion and magic at her mother's knee. Her father didn't understand his wife's and daughter's devotions, but did not interfere, especially as Raelynn accepted her magical heritage along with her faith. Along with Glamor, Elaine introduced Raelynn to Sophia's Daughters, a society of like minded women who taught Raelynn the subtle tricks and skills that are essential to a lady's self-defense. Nicholas was an unusual father, as he insisted on teaching his daughter his magic, Porte, along with keeping up with her education. Raelynn learned Porte once she finished her lady's education, but never quite got over her squeamishness with shedding her own blood, although she found the knack quite handy, but less fun.
