 Name: Ratchet True Name: Rayne LeBeau Gender: Female Age: 19 Birthday: August 3, 1996 Greatest Ambition: Survival Physical Description: Ratchet isn't exactly the most physically imposing girl in the universe. She stands at only 5'3". Her hair is dark brown and is cut in a short style that might look sort of choppy when she wears it down or back in a ponytail. Her eyes are also brown and can pack quite the mean stare when she wants them to. Her skin's adorned with lots of little bruises most of the time and she has a couple scars on her arms from working on cars and other machinery. Her clothes are simple and comfortable. As long as it's suitable for work, then she'll wear it. Distinguishing Marks: The scars on her arms Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual Single or taken: Single Best friend: None as of yet Personality: Ratchet might, at first glance, look rather unobtrusive. Some might even say that she's sweet looking. But they are very, very wrong. She is extremely two-faced. Almost from day one she's been more than capable of seeming sweet to get the things that she wants and then she can turn around and be a complete bitch in the next minute. Ratchet doesn't take kindly to anything or anyone who gets in her way. Most especially when she's working. Getting in her way whenever she's working with the electricity or something else that needs fixing means that you will automatically get a heaping helping of her attitude. It's almost like sticking your hand into a starving tiger's cage. Be prepared for the consequences. It's rather difficult to gain her trust. She's very used to dealing with the "frenemy" type of girls and guys from the private school in Sundance. At first it seemed like everyone in the Moutain Lions was the same way. So far the only ones she trusts are the top four and a handful of others. The rest are simply the ones she must deal with to get by. Some of the things her tribe does isn't a bother to her in the slightest. Such as their more violent or malicious ways of getting things done. Ratchet's more than happy to help out with any of those things if she's needed. After all, her wrenches aren't only good for tightening up loose bolts. Tiny as she is, she can still pack quite the impact. Personal History: Rayne LeBeau was the first and only child of Charles LeBeau and Ruby Gerard. And for good reason. Charles was the son of a rich restauranteur in the city. Ruby on the other hand, was Creole. And she was, in simple terms, a gold digger. Charles' father looked down on Creoles as a people, so once he found out that Ruby had been having relations with his son and had gotten pregnant, he was absolutely furious. Ruby was forbidden to see Charles ever again. So her daughter, Rayne was born in her small and shabby apartment. From that day on Rayne would always live with her mother, getting by on whatever the two of them were able to bring into the house together. From an early age Rayne was proficient in pickpocketing as well as simple stealing in order to help her mother with money problems. In the meantime, Ruby was looking for another conquest. Namely another man with money to buy her the wonderful things that she thought she deserved. Rayne believed that any man would fall for her mother in a heartbeat. She was an absolutely gorgeous woman with a charm that no sane man could ever deny. It was just the Creole blood. Completely confirming her beliefs, Ruby managed to snare one such man. Namely James Caine. A native of Wyoming visiting Baton Rouge to see the sights. He was a collecter of fine cars and spent his time fixing up antique cars to sell. He fell for Ruby like a sack of potatoes. It wasn't even a year later when he was taking both her and Rayne back to his hometown of Sundance. Once there, Rayne made herself perfectly at home, learning how to fix up James' cars. Up to the point where she could disassemble and reassemble select ones. It wasn't exactly the typical hobby for a girl to have, and her peers at the private school that James and Ruby enrolled her in seemed to agree. Not that Rayne much cared. She focused more on her skills in mechanics and moved on to wiring and other electrical things. School? Who needed it? She hadn't attended up until she'd moved to Sundance, so it couldn't possibly be that important. When the Ans virus struck Sundance, it was absolute chaos. People were getting sick and being shipped off to the hospital by the dozens. Ruby and James were no exception. Rayne wasn't so naive as to think that either of them was coming back alive. She wasn't stupid. The virus killed. And soon both of her "parents" were dead just like all the rest. Using her street smarts, she figured that it would be far too difficult to try and get by on her own. As much as she hated the crowd back from her private school, she figured that people she knew were better than people she didn't. Besides they had a leader who knew his way around things. Rayne, who renamed herself Ratchet, fell in with them, figuring that they'd need people who had skills in mechanics and electrical things to run the power station. And that's where she is now. In her own irritable and attitudinal way, she's helping to keep one of the ML's assetts running.
