rinu notes — hey guys, erm,, i've made so much rai lore (doesn't help it's angst too) and yapped it to oomf,,, so I'm posting it here if anyone gaf
this was lowk copypasted and then edited,,, so
also rai goes by any pronouns but u might notice i use they/them mostly
rai firstly spawned in splitered skies just like any playgrounder would, however was thrown down due to their gear (party blaster paint gun) being too distracting for windforce (basically like. it can get attention during battle and poses potential risks) so like. boom. she throws them out like "bye ur literally too flashy"
along the way, they are found by a blackrockian who is on the search for medkit, paint b. pro (<- @p4intkiddo's oc!!). paint finds rai on the verge of death, patching them up and then eventually taking them in as his sibling! the paintlings!
years go by, rai eventually joins phighting tournaments. they are well known in crossroads to paint in alleyways, and they also lowk get in trouble for it.
rai is a quiet inphernal, mostly keeping to themselves despite her flashy appearance, with his clothes and horns.
anyways! onto the angst part,,
rai is super quiet because. if they try to talk they cant seem to get their thoughts out ,, like if theyre asked to elaborate on their point they would have the idea in their head but their words are lacking
leading to that, rai would always cry during arguments. just saying—the frustration of feeling so much yet saying so little wells up painfully in rai and they would try to hide it.
with rai being quiet, they would be excluded from groups without the group even knowing it because rai. is just there. existing.
rai notices and painfully takes it and attributes it to their fault because again, if they don' really talk to the group, naturally they'll(group) forget about them, and they don't really contribute much to the group (<- their way of thinking btw)
if anyone tries to talk to rai it would be painfully awkward because their responses are short and their body language looks rigid. so people naturally tend to avoid rai -> despite their flashy appearance, they're not much of a good talker
because of all this, rai is afraid to connect with someone and then screw it up with their demeanor
sure, they have close friends and their sibling (paintlings mentioned), but something deep in their mind tells them that "oh, they don't regard you as much. you don't open up. you are a personification of talking to the wall."
and despite their aloof demeanor, rai really cares about how others think and perceive them
their mind tends to sprawl out at every little action they make, micro analysing themselves
if they think they did something wrong, rai would spiral in their own head, overthinking so many possibilities that would happen
PAINTLINGS ANGST!!
lowk rai is scared to lose paint by their inability to communicate properly so like they mind their words in order to not trigger an argument
and for paint they feel rai is distant for no reason and is also scared. why is their little sibling growing distant?
even when they stuck together for years paint is confused on why rai doesn't really talk about themselves and also watches as rai takes like. bad stuff against them just so they avoid getting into fights
paint wonders why rai is on edge every time they feel an argument is about to happen or is basically on edge with their words
YUMESHIP RANT TERRITORY
coil met rai as he was being pursued by biografts, he turned to the alleyway to shake them off, but he got startled when he saw rai emerging out of a wall (rai's can travel through paint as their ability,,, think of splatoon as an example)
rai hid coil in the paint (rai can only take a few inphernals at a time in the paint realm, as it is kinda cramped and also there's so many portals of paint rai had made that if there were so many inphernals, they might just fall into random portals)
coil's evasive behavior about his past scares rai but also comforts them in a way. because they also too don't really divulge their past! it scares rai that coil doesn't really open up because they're so used to people spilling their hearts out to them
speaking of that!
inphernals somehow go to rai to vent because, they don't really spill secrets. but what frustrates them (inphernals) is that rai doesn't really have anything to say. like anything at all. just stares at them with their colorful eyes (/silly).so like sometimes if that happens, inphernals would attribute that to rai zoning out and then get mad at them
rai took that to heart and tried to find ways to comfort.
so this happened with rocket and rocket unintentionally blew up at them more due to his anger issues because he was ticked off with what they said (im trying to figure that out but.) this memory deeply ingrained rai to their core and opts to be silent most of the time because. this was kinda proof anything they say would hurt their loved ones.
adding on, rocket and rai had a bit of a falling out until rocket reconnected w them with the help of sword but they're kinda. on edge with eachother.
almost trauma from the past buutt!! they used to be brash and blunt with their words until it hurt their closest friend in splintered skies (it doesnt help that they split up the day before windforce threw them off splitered skies)
so imagine when rai gets to an argument with either rocket or coil, but can't say anything in the heat of the moment. they freeze up, trying to find the words but their mind blanks out. the sinking feeling in their heart when they try to find the words but all they feel is the panic rising, their heart pounding in their ears.
they try to reconcile through writing letters, but even then, their words seem to run out on paper as well
