Magic

(“Bard Power: As the leader of the Bard Coven, Raine is able to use music to manipulate the world around her. This allows her to nullify other witches’ spells, make things levitate, and take control of anyone who can hear her music. Raine is known to have exceptional talent, having managed to rise to the rank of Leader through skill alone.”) + (“Sound Blades: Raine can fire sound blades from her violin by playing it to attack or defend herself.”) + (“Storm: Raine is able to summon a small storm cloud that shoots lightning bolts to protect her.”) + (“Shockwave: Whether with her violin bow or its strings, Raine can fire a shockwave in all directions to repel her enemies.”) + (“Decay Spell: Raine managed to intensify the adverse effect of a Bard magic spell that Eda was attempting to perform, it is a seemingly common musical spell, which beautifies the environment, However, due to Eda's lack of magic, it caused things to dry out and take on a charcoal-like texture.) + (“Instrument Summoning: Raine can summon and dematerialize musical instruments at will. While she primarily uses a violin, she can also summon different instruments such as a lute.”) + (“Matter Annihilation: They somehow managed to create a Bard spell that replicated the corrosive interaction Eda's curse had with Bard magic, and were able to use it without an instrument or even their fingers through whistling.”) + (“Storm Generation: Raine is able to conjure a miniature storm with her magic.”) + (“Chemical Manipulation: Even as a young student, they were able to use Bard magic through whistling (without the need to use an instrument or even their fingers) to alter the chemical composition of a drink.”) + (“Smokescreen Creation: They are able to use a wind instrument.”)

Appearance

(“Raine is an adult warlock with dark skin and mint green hair with white streaks near the bottom. He has darker mint green eyebrows and green eyes.”) + (“Raine wears large, round glasses, a grey earring in his right ear, a long, black robe with a maroon collar, gold trim, three gold buttons, a brown belt, crimson and black pants, and knee-high boots. He has a fox-shaped talibuddy.”)

Personality

(“At first glance, Raine is shy and easily unsettled. Despite being the current Head Witch of the Bard Coven, Raine ironically suffers from stage fright and has difficulty giving public speeches, as seen in the Head Witch’s initiation ceremony in her debut episode. Much like Eda, Raine values magical freedom and opposes Emperor Belos’ methods of forcibly controlling magic under the Coven System.“) + (“Despite her shyness, Raine’s true self shines through in her cause. A capable leader and skilled tactician, Raine is not afraid to make tough decisions and ask the hard questions. She is intelligent and resourceful, having executed multiple raids against the Emperor’s Coven and nearly managing to infiltrate Emperor Belos’ mind. Raine is also highly successful at deception, fooling everyone, including Eda, into supporting the Emperor, in order to clear suspicions.”) + (“Raine is shown to be selfless and have a great deal of determination. She spent months pretending to be under Terra Dragonaria’s control, placidly endured Terra’s constant mistreatment despite her being condescending and cruel, and even reluctantly fought with Eda to maintain her cover as a brainwashed coven leader. In all of these, Raine displays a boundless willingness to carry out any action in furtherance of her goal, no matter how much it costs her emotionally.”) + (“She also displays a willingness to be playful and fun-loving, as evidenced by her going out of her way to name her rebel sect the CATS (Traitors and Swindlers Catcher Group) much to the dismay of her newfound ally Darius Deamonne, her shameless mockery of Eda, her pranks with the Bards Against the Throne, and her love of messing with Coven Scouts.”)

Past (early life)

(“Raine Whispers was once a bard student at St. Epiderm and participated in the Instructing the Witches of Tomorrow program on two previous occasions to earn scholarships to her school. Though a brilliant witch, Raine found IFWOT to be boring, and seeing the same faces did little to stave off her boredom. On her third IFWOT, Raine met a fun and troublesome Hexside witch named Edalyn Clawthorne, and they helped her out in various activities. The exam proctor, Terra Dragonaria, upped the ante by forcing the students to play a game of Covens versus Wilds as the final challenge. Raine was assigned as a “Wild Witch” while Eda was a “Coven Witch,” forcing the two to be on opposite sides. Raine lasted the longest of the Wild Witches, and after they were cornered, Eda betrayed her teammates, leaving the two to face each other. However, instead of After attacking each other, Raine and Eda cooperated to launch an attack on the proctor. Unexpectedly, Terra was amused by their behavior and took a special liking to Raine, but did not give the students ribbons. After the event, Raine transferred to the Hexside School of Magic and Demons and struck up a close friendship with Eda, eventually becoming a romantic couple. Years later, during her youth, Eda had a tendency to hide her problems and would often claim that she was fine despite the opposite. Because of this, Raine reluctantly broke up with Eda and made the announcement that they would join the Bard Coven. Although they had somehow witnessed the effects of her curse, Eda pushed Raine away and refused to let them into her life. Despite their breakup, Raine kept Eda's advice close to her heart. After that, Eda hired a spy to keep an eye on them and keep track of Raine's life for years to come.)

past (join the coven of bards)

(“After becoming maester of the Bard Coven, Raine became aware of how the Emperor forced witches to join covens against their will. Seeing this was wrong, they patiently rose through the ranks until eventually becoming leaders of the Bard Coven, succeeding the retired Scooter Crane. Inspired by the advice Eda gave them in the past, Raine also found like-minded witches to join her cause and secretly created a small rebel group called “Bards Against the Throne” (or The BAT) to help wild witches escape being forced into a coven. To keep her identity hidden from her peers, Raine dons a bat mask while going on raids. In the episode Bat-Friendly Hunt, Raine is present with the rest of the Coven Heads while Emperor Belos shows them a vision of Unity Day.”)

Relationship (Eda Clawthorne)

(“Edalyn Clawthorne is an old childhood friend of Raine’s, and their relationship dates back to their high school years. While Raine skipped a performance due to her stage fright, Eda advised them to face their problems head on. However, Eda’s inability to share her problems with Raine led to their separation. Despite their split, she still thinks highly of Eda, and her advice inspired her to form Bards Against the Throne.”)

Relationships (Katya, Derwin and Amber)

(“All three of them allowed themselves to join Raine when they created the Bards Against the Throne and all helped Raine free the rebellious witches who did not join a coven. All three look up to Raine as a mentor and leader figure.”)

Relationships (Darius Deamonne and Eberwolf)

(“Despite being comrades, Raine does not get along with Darius and Eberwolf, due to believing the two to be loyal to the Emperor and his Coven System. However, Raine later learns that the two share her suspicions on Unity Day and the three band together after discovering that the two coven heads’ loyalty was a ruse. After Luz and Hunter become trapped in Belos’ mind, Darius stops Raine from breaking into The Owl House to help Eda, instead convincing them to help from the shadows. After their plan is discovered, Darius and Eberwolf fight to keep Raine from her place in the circle.”)

Relations (Terra Dragonaria)

(“Following Raine’s betrayal of the Emperor’s Coven, Terra began to control him, and in order to control his rebellious outbursts, she would drug Raine with a spiked tea that was supposed to erase her memories. Thus, Raine views Terra as her equal and is loyal to her, along with the rest of the Emperor’s Coven. Unbeknownst to her, Raine secretly used Bardo magic through whistling to neutralize the tea and maintain their cover as they spied on the arrival of Belos Unity Day for their secret allies Darius, Eberwolf, and the rest of their GATO colleagues.”)

Relations (Emperor Belos)

(“Bards Against the Throne which included witches and demons to stop Belos but was captured because Belos still needed them for Unity Day. However, Raine’s capture was secretly a ruse by Darius and Eberwolf to find out what Belos was up to. They were then shocked that Belos was planning to use a draining spell that would remove all types of magic and set out to stop him.”)

Italian friend

A taliamigo is a magical totem that rests on a witch's staff. It can leave the staff, come to life and transform into the animal it represents, and thus serve its witch in many ways. Witches obtain their staff and taliamigo upon completion of their education.
