Rayne Ames is a third-year student at Easton Magic Academy, the current Sword Cane of the Divine Visionaries, the prefect of the Adler dorm and the older brother of Finn Ames.
Appearance[]
Rayne is a handsome young man with blonde hair on the right side of his head and black hair on the left side, light yellow eyes and three magic marks on his face; one of which is located beneath his right eye and the remaining two which go down his left.
He wears the usual Easton Magic Academy uniform, which consists of a long-sleeved, button-up white shirt, a black robe and a red tie along with black pants and brown shoes
Personality[]
Rayne usually has a serious, cold and somewhat detached demeanor where his neutral and unenthused facial expression generally never gives away what he's feeling, but underneath that coldness, he does tend to care for others and protect those he's fond of or takes an interest in.
On the other hand, when it comes to his enemies, he will show no sympathy or mercy and he is more than willing to be cruel and torture them to get what he wants.
Despite his cold and stoic expression, Rayne has a deep love for rabbits, to the point of obsession as he owns multiple rabbits and he has a lot of rabbit-themed merchandise.
History[]
Past[]
Little is known about Rayne's origins, but at some point in time, he was born into the Ames Family alongside his younger brother: Finn Ames. His parents passed away when he was a child, so he and Finn were often moving around since none of their relatives wished to house the orphans. They were homeless and struggled to survive every single day. At some point, he began attending Easton Magic Academy and despite his young age, he has made considerable strides since his enrollment, becoming one of the school's top students. As he went through the hardships as orphans with his little brother, he aspired to be a Divine Visionary to change how the world works and set a better world where orphans like them could live in peace.
Easton Enrollment Arc[]
Rayne is unveiled as the new Divine Visionary of Easton Magic Academy
Rayne is first introduced within a newspaper article where he is depicted standing in front of a group of reporters with the announcement to the public that due to his stellar achievements over the past school year, he has now become the new Divine Visionary of Easton Magic Academy. Due to these achievements, he is elevated to the rank of nobility and given a hefty sum of money as a reward.
Magia Lupus Arc[]
Rayne is later seen returning to the Easton Magic Academy after briefly taking a short trip away with Headmaster Wahlberg Baigan promptly requesting by letter that he is to immediately check the basement of the school, which the latter does begrudgingly. Once arrived, he discovers and saves the tired and wounded Dot Barrett and Finn Ames, both of whom were trapped underground and nearing the end of their rope after Dot's fight against Love Cute - the Fifth Fang of the Magia Lupus. Rayne makes quick work of Milo Genius the Fourth Fang who had previously revealed himself and had almost finished both of the first years off, catching him off guard and breaking through his spell instantly. Now battered and bruised and struck with newfound fear, the Fourth Fang attempts to talk his way out of his predicament while trying to launch a secret attack, but to no avail and it ends quickly with Rayne telling him not to waste his time. Rayne then proceeds to summon numerous swords, Raining them all down on the Fourth Fang who is shocked due to Rayne's prowess despite him being a student just like them. Seeing that there is no hope for victory, the Fourth Fang tries to ask for forgiveness for his actions, but Rayne shows him no mercy and kicks him repeatedly, stating that the only way for scum like him to actually learn their lesson was through pain, pain so excruciating that he'll never make the same mistake twice. He turns around and tells Finn and Dot to leave while he continues his torture to find out more information.
After getting the information he needed, Rayne once again sets off down to the dark corridors of the dungeon to continue his investigation on Innocent Zero before he soon has his first encounter with Mash Burnedead. He feels the immense pressure surrounding him and at first suspects Mash of being an enemy, immediately taking a fighting stance and attacking him with a sword, which Mash stops with just two fingers. Growing suspicious, Rayne increases his magic output to 3% and then to 10% to test Mash's strength. When Mash blocks all of his attacks, Rayne asks for his name and immediately recognizes it as that of the one student whom the Headmaster told him to look out for. After giving him a magical handkerchief (covered in cute bunnies) to heal his wounds, Rayne tells him that if he aims to become a Divine Visionary without magic he's going to have a difficult time, but if he beats Abel Walker, he'll be one step closer to becoming a candidate for the position. He tells Mash that he would like to have at least one strong ally in a world with a never-ending list of problems and that if he aims to be Visionary then he needs to do it even if it kills him. The pair part ways shortly thereafter with Rayne remarking that if Mash wants to become a Divine Visionary without any magic, he's going to have to prove himself to be greater than any magic user.
When Mash is discovered by the Academy for being unable to use magic and is put on trial to decide his fate, Rayne appears with the Headmaster and requests for the first year to be pardoned, stating that Mash has proven himself to be trustworthy.

Relationships[]
Finn Ames[]
Rayne appeared to treat Finn very coldly and he is very judgmental towards Finn's wish to help everyone who is fighting that he even tells him to leave Easton Magic Academy. Rayne goes as far as to tell Finn that the latter is a burden even after he tried and succeeded in opening the path into Innocent Zero’s lair and stops him from helping in fighting. However, Rayne has distanced himself from Finn out of fear that his little brother might be targeted with Rayne becoming a Divine Visionary and working to create a world that is fair to orphans like themselves, which could cause societal backlash. Finn, on the other hand, feels that Rayne's measures to protect him are unnecessary and just wants to be close with his brother. They apparently make up after Finn miraculously uses a Secondth spell and fights Delisaster together with Rayne. During his past conversation with Wahlberg Baigan in volume 14, Rayne literally mentioned Finn as "the most important person" to him and he's willing to do anything as long as Finn would live happily in the future.
Mash Burnedead[]
Despite originally mistaking him for an enemy, Rayne seems to respect Mash as he recognized Mash's intention on being a Divine Visionary to change how the world works. Meanwhile it is similar with what Rayne struggles to achieve, to eradicate all the discrimination so everyone would live in peace. Seeing how Mash being so persistent, Rayne decided to make sure nobody would stop Mash from reaching his goal. Besides, one of the reasons of why Rayne put his respect towards Mash is the fact that Mash saved his little brother, Finn, multiple times, like what headmaster Wahlberg Baigan once told him.
Orter Mádl[]
A fellow Divine Visionary, although not particularly hostile towards him as he is shown to be willing to attack him. Even so, he still follows his orders and is willing to cooperate with him in situations.
Ryoh Grantz[]
Ryoh understands Rayne's desire to protect his family by staying away, but thinks that being closer sometimes is manly too.
Max Land[]
Max is Rayne's best friend who have been roommates since middle school where Max recommended rabbit breeding to Rayne who is aiming to become divine visionary to mentally recuperate.
