Since birth, Rayne was a cunning child, though as time progressed she became more and more eager to explore the world. For example, despite it being uncommon for women to like things like swordsmanship, Rayne engaged in it quite often and loved doing so with her father and mother. The three would typically train daily and this would shape Rayne into a powerful warrior. By the time she turned 6 years old Rayne would be taught how to use magic, though because she had not taken her first human life she did not have access to her werewolf abilities.
1207 Oslo, Norway[]
In 1207, viking raiders would attack Rayne's village. They laid waste to half of it, destroying, pillaging and looting. In the mayhem, a man attempted to take Rayne as a slave. Instead of submitting, she jammed her axe into his neck, killing him and triggering her curse.
1217, Norway[]
Harsh words were exchanged between Rayne and her mother, Tayana. Due to Tayana's sharp temper, she would lash out on Rayne. They fought for some time, before Tayana's overwhelming rage, led her to murder Rayne.
Eventually, Rayne would wake up. She was a were-witch, but her father was a Hybrid. His blood ran through her veins which meant that she was in transition. She crawled out of her grave and killed a local villager, completing her transition.
1218[]
As a Astafor-born child of Darius Salvatore's, Rayne had a legitimate claim to Astafor's throne.
1222, Sweden (The Creation of Rayna's Army)[]
In 1222 Rayne and her family would relocate to Sweden and due to harsh words exchanged between her and her mother Rayne would create "Rayne's Army" a group of powerful supernatural beings.
1731, Rayne is Betrayed[]
In 1731 Rayne's Army had become known across all corners of the world and in a way were renowned. Rayne would officially meet a member of the Army named Magnus, who would gain Rayna's trust by becoming romantically involved with her though he soon grew true feelings for Rayna. Because of this he would pity himself for falling in love and before he could get attached any longer, he would stake Rayna in the heart with one of The Preeminent Stakes. As her body bursted in flames this is when Magnus would begin leading Rayna's Army, keeping the group's name as a way to show respect. Rayna not long after this would use her ability to self-resurrect and would plan her revenge on Magnus, wanting to make him suffer in the best way possible. Unfortunately for Rayna she would not be able to do this as her Half-Sister (August Salvatore-Knight) would kill Magnus in 1732.
1732 - Modern Day[]
Personality[]
Rayna has shown that she can be kind, giving, caring, and loving with those that she shares bloodties with. For instance, despite wanting to get her vengeance on Magnus and wanting to kill whoever stole that chance to do so, upon learning that August and her share blood with each other she refrained from doing so and applauded August for doing this instead, as killing Magnus would take a large amount of strength and power. She hated her mother even through her death as she believed that her harsh treatment of her was sometimes brutal. On numerous occasions Rayna has openly admitted that she loves her father very dearly and appreciates him for raising her into the warrior that she is currently. When the time comes for it Rayna is able to be vicious and fierce as was shown when at the mere age of 7 she was able to kill without regret and did this for her homeland.
Most people who meet Rayna say that she is kind-hearted.
Physical Appearance[]
1200s - 1700s Appearance[]
Rayna had long blonde hair that had some braiding throughout them. She also had and has ice blue eyes and a small but muscular build.
1200s - 1700s Clothing[]
Rayna usually wore clothing made from leather and on other instances fabric that is easy to come by. She generally didn't not care for more luxurious and expensive attire as she was raised to value everything she had. She kept this mentality with her for centuries (5) and would only change this when she had to adapt to life in the 1800s
1800s - Modern-Day Appearance[]
Instead of her old hair style she would change it and let it flow out from her head and she allowed it to be more unpretentious. In more modern years she has time-to-time changed her eye colour with the use of contacts.
1800s - Modern-Day Clothing[]
In order to keep up with the times Rayna would change her attire from what it was formerly as it was seen as a little unkempt. Not wanting to portray this image of herself would cause her to keep up with the times and clothing of each time period. In more recent years (1990s - 2020s and beyond) she can be seen wearing more casual clothing, though while going to things like special events, she can be seen sporting luxurious dresses and attire.
Super Speed: Preeminent Vampires are quite fast and are adept in that field being able to dash several meters with ease.
A bloodlusted a thirsty Rayna compels a human viking to flee from her, after draining him of lots of blood.
Super Strength: Preeminent Vampires are far much stronger than the originals, werewolves, vampires, non- hybrids, Primordial Werewolves, Primordial Vampires, and even humans. They can decimate and devastate others with little to no effort. They grow stronger with the passage of time, their muscular physique is much more defined, and their strength it is almost second to none.
Self-Resurrection: If no other ways to revive an Original Preeminent Vampire are found their bodies will turn to ash similarly to a phoenix and they will resurrect. Though this ability can only be used twice it is quite useful.
Immortality: Original Preeminent Vampires are immortal. They do not physically age and are immune to all illnesses, toxins, poisons and human diseases or other physical conditions. The only physical weapon that can bring permanent death to a Original Preeminent Vampire is a Preeminent Stake, though a regular/normal Preeminent Vampire can be killed with a wooden steak.
Enhanced Emotions: Preeminent Vampires experience emotions more powerfully than humans. Emotions like love, joy, and happiness are intensified for vampires allowing them to live life more intensely. This ability allows the original vampires to feel emotions at their peak regardless of their age. They have been shown experiencing emotions as powerfully today as they did many years ago.
Telepathy: Original Preeminent Vampires have the ability to enter the minds of others as long as theirs is stronger than them although, as Preeminent vampires, they have one of the strongest minds in the world. Normally, this ability works in a tactile fashion and the vampire requires physical contact in order for it to work successfully. However, Darius Salvatore was somehow able to communicate telepathically to his son.
Super Durability: The Original Preeminent Vampires have a very high amount of durability, being able to withstand multiple attacks before any severe or major damage starts to show. This ability varies though as some Preeminent Vampires cannot use this ability and others can.
7 year old Rayna.
Super Healing: Preeminent Vampires boast quite extraordinary healing capabilities as they are even able to grow back entire limbs. This partially contributed to the reason why The Preeminent Daggers were created (weapons that could kill the Preeminent Vampire).
Animal Transformation: The Preeminent Vampire has the ability to magically morph into an Animal. These forms could differentiate from each other with some being able to morph into werewolves. When they do this they get the abilities of what they transform into.
Time Bending/Freezing: They have the ability to freeze time but mere seconds (2-5 seconds). This ability is quite great though since within a matter of seconds one can do lots of damage to another. This ability has only been learned by the most strongest of Original Preeminent Vampires though.
Poisonous Skin: Original Preeminent Vampires inherit the ability to make their skin temporarily poisonous from Rayna's father (Darius Salvatore)
Being able to reproduce and create Progeny/Offspring: It is unknown why but the Preeminent Vampire is able to have children of their own. One theory that the philosopher Dante Salvatore (Uncle to Rayna) believed that this was the case was because of a Preeminent Vampire healing at such a fast rate that before their reproductive systems could be destroyed they healed.
Super Sensing: Preeminent Vampires have extremely keen senses of hearing, sight and smell that far exceed those of immortals, supernatural hunters, non-Original vampires, werewolves, evolved werewolves, non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids and humans.
After she was killed by Magnus she would appear as a spirit. Despite it being for a short amount of time, when Magnus showed anger and attempted to cut Rayna down with her sword Rayna demonstrated the abilities of a Ghost and was unable to be touched by Magnus.
Intangibility: Rayna could not physically feel nor could she be physically felt as a ghost. This was because she wasn't given a physical foothold in the land of the living.
Werewolf Abilities: If a werewolf becomes a ghost, they will still possess their werewolf abilities as a ghost. Unfortunately for Rayna though, she was unable to use her werewolf powers as she couldn't find a proper use for them.
Witch Abilities: She can use her witch powers in ghost form as she mentioned it to Magnus though this could've been hyperbole and Rayna's end.
Super Strength: As a Werewolf Rayna possesses supernatural strength that makes her far stronger than immortals, Supernatural Hunters, and even humans. Even when she was young Rayna was able to kill multiple unnamed vikings as a 7 year old child.
Super Speed: Werewolves like Rayna are much faster than humans and some other supernatural beings. They possess this ability both in and out of transformation, with an animalistic quickness.
Super Agility: Rayna possesses superhuman agility. In both human and wolf form. She has demonstrated that she can move, jump very high, climb, flip, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion. Along with this she can also jump down from incredible heights with almost gravity-defying grace.
Super Durability: Werewolves can take far more trauma than humans without nearly as much discomfort or injury, however, not as much as vampires. They can also exert themselves for longer periods without tiring.
Healing Factor: Werewolves possess superhuman regenerative abilities, meaning that if they are physically injured, their bodies will heal rapidly. Like vampires, werewolves can heal from the most grievous of injuries, even in human form, albeit more slowly in comparison to vampires. However, unlike vampires, when a werewolf’s neck is broken, they stay dead.
Super Senses: Werewolves have extremely keen and heightened senses of smell, sight, taste, hearing, and touch that exceed their wolf counterparts and that of regular canines.
Lycanthrope Enhancement: Werewolves are able to make their eyes glow when angry or threatened, but only for a short amount of time. When a werewolf is furious or forced to defend themselves, their anger increases all their power and abilities for a short period of time, which allows them to access some of the power of their wolf form to give them an edge. Rayna was able to do this when she got angered at her mother.
Shapeshifting/Transformation Control: During a full moon, they will not transform from their human form and into her wolf form. This is because Rayna has transformed so much times that she became immune to the eclipse of a full moon.
Werewolf Bite: A werewolf's venom is extremely lethal to non-original vampires. While an Original vampire cannot die from the venom, they are not wholly immune to the effects of the bite. For non-Original vampires, the venom acts as an poison of sorts that will enter the bloodstream and deliver the toxin throughout the body, producing discomfort and weakness, developing uncontrollable hunger that progresses to delusions, hallucinations, rabid rage, and dementia, culminating in death. Original vampires undergo the same effects, but do not die and will eventually fully recover.
Full Moon: A werewolf's strength, speed, agility, and all their powers are enhanced to their peak during a full moon.
Immunity to Silver: Werewolves are immune to magic bonded to silver. Weapons made of silver might wound them, but the wound still heals at supernatural rates and will not be fatal to them.
Desiccation: They can be desiccated by people like witches and witch hybrids. But through the use of magic desiccation, it can immobilise them and stop them.
The Darius Stone and Sword: If near the stone a vampire will become weakened. When stabbed with the sword the vampire's soul will transfer into the stone that lies at the hilt of the sword and said vampire will be sent into this magical sword.
Physical Trauma: While any physical trauma can slow an Original Preeminent down, minor ones such as cuts and bruises, are essentially ineffective due to the healing factor of an Original vampire. More significant injuries along the lines of broken bones and organ damage can incapacitate one due to the combination of pain and lack of their bodies proper function. However, the most effective way to neutralise an Original, albeit temporarily, is to inflict injury normally fatal to a human such as breaking their neck or ripping out their heart. Minor physical injuries such as gunshots, stab wounds and broken bones will cause an Original Vampire pain and also slow them down. However, this is momentary as they will heal completely within seconds. It seems physical trauma can hurt them anywhere on the body (ex-eye gauging, drowning).
Sunlight: Sunlight will burn a Preeminent vampire, but cannot kill them. All members of Darius' Line of The Salvatore Family (Darius' Bloodline) possess lapis lazuli rings to combat this. Samantha Salvatore and Darrien Salvatore are not affected by sunlight due to them being primordial werewolf-vampire witch tribrids.
Vervain: Vervain prevents preeminent vampires from compelling anyone who takes it and burns them on touch. Preeminent vampires will heal very quickly from vervain wounds however.
As a Werewolf-Witch Hybrid[]
As a Werewolf-WitchHybrid Rayna had access to strong magic as well as her werewolf powers. This made her quite a strong opponent though this was nothing compared to the power she would obtain as an Original Preeminent Vampire. However, despite this Rayna still had all of the weaknesses and disadvantages of a werewolf-witch hybrid except for wolfsbane and being forced to turn on a full moon. She transformed multiple times and got used to being within a full moon. She became immune to wolfsbane because she used it for various spells and had to get used to it in order to perform her magic with success. Along with this she purposefully forced it on herself so that she could rid herself of the weakness.
Memorable Quotes[]
"No mother you're insanely wrong!. Father always treated me with so much kindness and love, but you on the other side of the coin... You betrayed me, stabbed me with the Wolf Sealing Sword, and closed off my powers for years on end. Why, because I was too young to become a werewolf?. Who are you to limit my abilities like that?. For that I hate you mother and I will always love my father more than you because you are a monster.
