[edit] Jak X: Combat Racing
Rayn is Krew's gorgeous daughter. In the beginning like all the prime characters, she is poisoned by her own father. Ashelin shoves her gun in Rayn's face and interrogates Rayn but gets nothing but innocence out of her. Rayn and Ashelin hate each other till some point of the game. Rayn worries about the Grand Prix race and braves danger with Jak such as facing eye to eye with UR-86 and Razer, a murderous German-accented racer who always smokes. Rayn is seen when the team walks at Haven City, looking at memories in the past games but leaves to investigate her father and his stuff. Jak catches her digging into his stuff and reading Krew's diary. Rayn breaks down but Jak soothes her, a hint of a relationship between the two. When bringing the race to Razer, Rayn is one of the racers with the intent on beating Razer herself. Jak tells Rayn not to join in but decides to. G.T. Blitz then tells her that it was Jak who murdered her father and Rayn believes G.T., payback from Blitz's theory to not go after Mizo. But as Jak finds out Blitz is Mizo, Jak goes after him with the help of Rayn. Rayn is next seen thanking everyone but turns her back on them to pursue her career as a mobster but tells some unknown terrorists to not kill the team.
[edit] Personality
Rayn is introduced as a very polite, kind, and well brought up individual who is unlike her father in nearly every possible way. Despite the poisoning incident, she steadily creates a friendship with nearly all involved; aside from Ashelin, as their morals seem to repeatedly clash--but even here a small friendship is forged at some point during the game. Optimisitic as she is for her team to succeed in winning the Kras City Grand Championship, Rayn does not hesitate to intervene if the need calls for it. (She even goes behind the wheel for the Blue Eco Cup Grand Prix to help the team.)
Though ultimately a betrayer at the end of the game, Rayn portends to be shocked and even ashamed towards her father's actions to placing herself in a better light among her new companions, though in reality she loves her father and he loved her tenderly as well; "Like father like daughter, eh?" If the player races with Rayn in an exhibition event, sometimes one can catch her saying: "This one's for you, father" or when winning first place "I did it! Father would be proud!"
There also seems to be an attraction between Jak and Rayn, though it is strained because of personal issues on both sides; i.e. Rayn as a betrayer and Jak as her father's killer. These two share furtive glances and converstations throughout the game and nearly every time they are alone together, Rayn finds some way to touch Jak--in thanks, in support--almost alluding to something more. At the end of the game, Rayn announces her departure and thanks the team for their help, and Jak especially for "showing [her] the light". She is surprised by Jak's sudden embrace, but does nothing to stop the contact, even smiling as she hugs him back.
Even as an aspiring crime lord, Rayn has the decency to tell her racing team the truth about her treachery and the plot that had unfurled since the very beginning. And then as she makes a hasty getaway, speaking to an unknown personage on a wireless phone, she sees mercy to her team: "No, don't eliminate the racers. They were my friends." Despite the parallel's to her father in the mannerisms of a crime lord, Rayn is perhaps, not as cruel as her father.
[edit] The Look
Rayn is a skinny, tall, and curvaceous woman, capable of holding a man's attention long enough to walk into a pole. Disarming as she is, most of the gentlemen in the game see no reason to doubt Rayn's ambitions, though Ashelin knows better. As Rayn's betrayal is made clear, a short banter between Torn and Ashelin is very illuminating of Rayn's feminine powers.
Torn: Who would've thought?
Ashelin: Well, if you'd all been thinking with your heads.
Normal Attire: Walking in on Jak X: Combat Racing, Rayn is as stylish as they come. She keeps her sapphire hair pinned behind her head in a pleated bun with a red band and chopsticks. In her ears are two pairs of golden earrings and a thickly braided neckless studded with golden, egg-shaped orbs (an allusion to Precursor items?) serve as jewelry. She wears a three-toned green jacket, held closed by a large belt, and white bell-bottom pants with a thick green stripe that runs from her hip to her ankle. And finally, she wears blue, sandle-like high heel shoes.
Racing Attire: Something akin to horseback riding garb; Rayn wears a green topee, matching long-sleeved jacket, belt, rounded goggles, open-fingered racing gloves, jodhpurs, and brown knee-high high heeled boots. Now that's the only way to race!
[edit] Voice
Rayn is voiced by Canadian film and voice actress: Jeannie Elias. Ms. Elias voices Rayn with an upper class English accent, using words such as "smarmy" and "blighter" to add to Rayn's colorful vocabulary. It is also noted that Krew had a similar accent. Rayn comes across as generally sweet and cheerful but also expresses a broad spectrum of shock and cunning to anger and disappointment; which makes for a very rounded character.
