Raine Sage

Raine's knowledge is even greater than that of Genis, and she is often seen correcting Lloyd, Genis, Colette, Emil, and Marta whenever they misbehave, often accompanied with a kick or slap. She is a horrifically bad cook, and supposedly cannot do laundry either, causing her to rely on Genis to do housework and cooking. Raine is a calm and calculating thinker. She is relatively pragmatic, and she tends to think of longer term consequences rather than the short term need to help someone. When Cacao is to be executed, she opposes intervening, because doing so would possibly result in the Desians attacking Palmacosta. She is also somewhat cautious, and is hesitant to help Sheena Fujibayashi in Luin, fearing that the assassin’s possible comrades will ambush the Chosen's group. Later, it is shown that Raine is generally distrusting of virtually everyone, which may be a result of the feelings of betrayal toward her mother and the general mistreatment she experienced as a half-elf. Above all, Raine hates not being able to save people's lives, and will attempt anything to change that. When Governor-General Dorr dies after her attempts to save him with healing arts, she deeply regrets her failure. She is also completely and utterly obsessed with ruins and magitechnology, something Genis refers to as "Ruin-Mode". Whenever she sees a ruin, she loses her cool and calm state and becomes extremely fascinated by the slightest thing old or scientific. It is revealed later in the story that she was always looking for the Otherworldly Gate, the ruin at which she and Genis were abandoned, and which she subconsciously associated with going back home. However, even after finding the ruin she has been looking for, her obsession remains. In a skit when one character brings up the legend of an underwater ruin, she becomes fascinated with it, while another has her berate Zelos for breaking an ancient vase.
