Height:5� 6�

Year: 1

Appearance: Raen. His name should tell really you everything. He is somewhat tall and has a nice body. He isn�t the over-athletic sporty type, but he does not have a scrawny nerd-type body either. He has the body of a long-distance runner, or, as he actually is, a dedicated dancer. He does not think that being a dancer makes a guy a homosexual, but looks at it through the lens of his culture and thinks of it as a great honor.
He has a medium skin tone rich with golden undertones. It is also rather smooth, but not flawless. He has a few cuts and scars from wood/metalworking accidents and slightly calloused hands due to his practice in many various styles of self-defense.
He has medium-long dark brown hair, which is commonly confused to be black, with shorter cut hair in the front, framing his face. It is thick and slightly glossy as well as nearly perfectly straight, but has a bit of wave at the ends.
Raen has brown eyes. They are dark, only a couple of shades lighter than his hair. They are full of warmth and magic dances about in them. For some odd reason they seem to be constantly analyzing everything, and guarding something. They also seem to be always wide-awake and ever vigilant.
Raen�s stance and motion are catlike, something of grace, swiftness, strength, speed and agility. He stands confidently with his feet about shoulder width apart and his arms firmly crossed at his chest. He also has a habit of resting in a crouching position and looks kinda like a tiger in waiting, or a lion at rest. When he walks, it is a straight-backed, easily recognizable stride. He looks as if he belongs where he is, no matter the setting.
He wears somewhat loose, normal clothing. His typical outfit generally consists of black/blue jeans or black cargo pants and either a button up shirt or a t-shirt. He also wears a small sword-shaped crystal about his neck, a gift from a friend. He is not so big on jewelry, but wears a simple silver ring on his index finger. His right wrist has a sports watch for adornment. Hey, at least he will always be on time.
On occasion, due to his culture and upbringing, which includes dance, he puts on Native-American regalia and dances about his room. Sometimes after these occurrences he forgets to remove his favorite piece of regalia, an abalone and bone choker, and wears it until someone points it out, then he just smiles and silently removes it. Notable Traits: Raen tends to stand off to the side, keeping his inner strength hidden. Magic and power bounce and vibrate in the air around him, without and, at most times, against his bidding. He does not find it a weakness to cry, but rather a strength to be able to express emotion so freely. He has extremely little to no perversion due to his respectful upbringing. He fears the idea of an area devoid of life and cannot stand being alone in a �dead� room (steel, sheetrock and concrete are considered dead) without any life in it, plant or animal.

Personality: Raen is extremely compassionate. He hates seeing anyone in pain and tries to help any way possible- without crossing borders and/or boundaries. He is respectful to the personal space of others, be they teacher, peer, elder, or any other living thing.
Although so compassionate, Raen does not like to meddle in other people�s affairs unless requested to do so or it is of benefit of more than one person to be of aide. He values life and finds the preservation of life an automatic and urgent reason to meddle in the affairs at hand, his own life, until just recently, of little consequence if another�s is saved or greatly improved.
Due to his Native upbringing, Raen is rather spiritual. He can feel the pain of the forest and knows why the river laughs. When he hunts, he follows the traditional Native American practices and respectfully thanks the spirit of the being that gave its life for his, for �� today is your time to die, and someday it shall be mine.�
He is usually very happy and bouncy, but reserved around others, his voice is the only indication of his exuberance. He is always serious, to an extent, but whenever Raen is extremely serious it is scary, his eyes seem to penetrate the mind and search the soul.

History: Raen grew up in a normal city with his parents and two brothers. He is constantly camping or going to the Native American Reservation, so he has pretty much grown up halfway in the wild. Or rather, in what there is of wilderness of the US West Coast.
He has lead a normal life, well, normal for a Native American so attuned to nature. To him it is easy. Normal, that is, until he discovered his magic. His family thought it was some sign from the Great Spirit that he was to be a shaman of some sort. Upon research of magic he found the Shastina Academy of Magic and instantly applied, wishing to understand and harness/hone his newfound skills.

Wand Wood & Core: 11� wand, Ash Wood with a dragon heartstring as a core.
Classes: Charms, Elements, Herbology, Physical Education, Potions and Transfiguration
Sports: Raen wishes to join the Equinis Jedaiger team, but doesn�t really like the whole brutality of it, just the sporty-ness.
Pet: Raen has a large husky named Chymu. She has a black coat with gray-black flecks about her ears and face, as well as a streak of it down her spine. She has pale, pale blue eyes radiating from within the gray-black canine face.
Chymu is a bit hyper-energetic and a tad temperamental. She likes to play the part of Raen�s guardian and constant companion, thus follows along at Raen�s heels whenever he is walking about or doing things outside the dorm, and at some times when he is in the dorm as well. Chymu rarely attacks, unless Raen is threatened, especially when it is his life.
She communicates with Raen using normal animalistic senses. They don�t communicate in words or thoughts. Instead they do so through sounds and feelings, the vibrations of which Raen can just as easily pick out of the air as she herself can.
