(Considered IC)
Her crytsal eyes take in the decrepted buildings and dirt lined side walks; shoulders hunching a bit as she pulls that malbro out of her mouth. Kicking a beer can, "What'a dump...well, best to get to know the place." The small form of the red head wanders about the town. Many probably notice her, if not just hear her booted heels upon the concrete. She's a striking figure, short, curvy, clothes that don't cover nearly enough in the cold - while smokin'; there's almost no mistaken what she's taken up as her source of income. If she's approached she'll give you a smile, red pained lips twisting coyly, and a nod before continuing on; not ready to take cilents yet...There's settling in to do first.

(This is OOC information beyond this point. Please do not read if it will spoil your experience in getting to know my character.)

Rai was born in Chicago, grew up here and everything. She loved Chicago, it's weather, it's charm. Her childhood was not bad. Her Parents were a middle class family. Her father was a writer, no one special. He wrote for text books and had a degree in science. Her mother was a nanny. She would keep little kids over at the house all the time. She was good at her job, but all those kids, it got to her sometimes. Her parents moved down to Georgia about 2 years ago, they retired there, she is 22 now. They loved their daughter, but really did not like her lifestyle. She was reckless and did not always hang out with the best of crowds; drinking and she did not go in to college like they wanted. This happened as a result of her dismissal from Julliard, she was crushed about it. Since she was 5 the only thing that she wanted to do was to be a dancer. Her parents put her into every dance class that they could afford; ballet and tap dancing mostly. Every year they'd spend a good bit of money just for her classes, not counting all the gas to get there or all the time they spent going to watch her as she was growing up. They wanted her to be something good, something great and she was for a while.
She was a ballerina for a long time, until she actually tried out for Julliard and got accepted at the age of 17. That is when everything turned bad for her. She was never skinny enough for the people at Julliard. Oh, she's plenty small enough, but she could never get those last 10 lbs off that would make her look anorexic. She just couldn't do it, She had too much respect for herself. She couldn't understand that, how she could want SO much, yet just because you could not see her ribs she wasn't allowed it. So, she gets through by dancing at the clubs. Clubbing is how she ran into a lot of the 'bad' people that she started hanging around with. She did not think they were bad though, just different.
They liked her for who she was, and that was that. Also, during her time alone, since she pretty much stayed to herself besides the going out, she learned karate. She started taking classes shortly after her 18th birthday, thinking that she could use her body in a different way. Rai learned something of protecting herself and some aggressive attacks, sure, but what she liked most about it was the calming effect it had on her to be able to hit something and the fact that she could DO something again.
She ended up taking 4 years, from 18 and still going. She's not even close to being THAT good yet, but she likes it. One particular guy caused a lot of fights between her and her parents. Nicky, he was a punky guy with a mowhawk. She hung out with him a lot, Rai might have gone so far to calling him her best friend. He took her to a lot of parties and introduced to the drug scene as well as the D/s scene. Though the drugs came later, much later, after meeting him for the first time.
