Profile

Appearance

Raiden is a young woman with notably round features. Her hair is black, and it has a slightly warm glow under natural light. Though it appears spiky, it's better described as soft and messy. Her eyes are a bright gold.

She defaults to wearing her Shadow's uniform—or at least some element of it. In addition to her personalized uniform, she is almost always seen with a blue scarf around her neck. Pinned to it is a red stone, symbolic of her tie to the Cielisono princess. Additionally, she has a pair of dark rope-like wristbands that are incapable of being removed.

Spotted on her wrists, shoulders, waist, ankles and back are dark diamond-shaped markings. These markings approximately line up with the points at which magical energy is emitted when Raiden activates the special ability "Link State."

Raiden always seems to be smiling pleasantly.

Personality

Raiden believes in navigating each decision with optimism and good intention. She finds strength in being kind, influenced by the kindness expressed by the Cielisono royal family. To others, she may come off as naive, but she sees little reason to act any other way. Though emotionally reserved herself, Raiden is exceptionally sensitive to others' feelings and is able to pick up on subtle shifts in someone's mood.

Abilities

In battle, Raiden is an all-around supportive unit. Her skillset revolves around healing and supporting other party members, with skills that directly complement Araceli, Saffron and Cole. She has a thunder aspect.

Link State

Raiden is able to capture a piece of another allies' abilities and utilize it in battle. These pieces are called "Links," and calling upon them will activate "Link State."

Capturing a piece of another person's aspect doesn't necessarily require Raiden to befriend or earn their trust, but she prefers it that way. In the game, Links are unlocked through completing "Link Quests" with individual characters.

In addition to changing her appearance, activating Link State also swaps out Raiden's STRIKE skill and some of her CAST skills. These changes are unique to each Link.

History

Prior to Story

About ten years before the start of Bolt from the Blue, Raiden washed up on the shores of Buragee after mysteriously resurrecting from the dead. With no recollection of her identity or life outside of her own name, she was graciously offered refuge with the royal family of the neighboring kingdom of Cieliso. There, she resided in San Ven and served as the heiress' primary attendant (aka shadow).

Relationships

Araceli Fuentes de Luna

Having served as the Cielisona Princess' shadow for a decade and counting, Raiden has an exceptionally close bond with Araceli. Both similar in age, their relationship was more of a playful childhood friendship than a professional assignment. That being said, Raiden takes her position very seriously and ensures that all of Araceli's needs are met.

Raiden is surprisingly honest when discussing her feelings on Araceli. She is fond of the princess, even openly admitting to having some trace romantic feelings for her. However, she's quick to dismiss them because she assumes it's "inappropriate" or "unprofessional" of her to act on such feelings. That being said, it's confirmed that her and Araceli have interacted as if they were in a romantic relationship (e.g. dates, kissing). Raiden justifies this as "part of her duties," as she only allows herself to participate in such activities on Araceli's request.

Saffron Infiaco

Raiden met Saffron through Araceli. Their families were well-acquainted, so it wasn't uncommon for Saffron to stop by the castle and vice versa. I'll add more info here later...
