Personality::

Raiden is a perpetually happy person. Always smiling and bouncing with excitement, he's someone that people can't help but like. His reasoning behind always smiling is simple: He knows that his time is limited due to his health problems. Thus, he wants to spend what little time he may have being happy, because there's no point in feeling sad about things, is there? However, his being distanced from most everyone his age has made him grow into a slightly... well very naive person. He can't see flaws in a person until they're blatantly obvious, and he thinks that most people, even if they're rude or mean, have the ability to redeem themselves. It's not really a bad quality, but it leads to him getting hurt in the long run sometimes. He's slowly overcoming it, and becoming more wary of the people he talks to. Raiden loves loves LOVES to make friends, despite his increasing awareness of peoples' insanity. His best friends are Daphne Hopton, Celandine Toussaint, Kellen Stern, Sabel Dakest, Neptune Bott, Arya Lovegoods, and Lina Materia. He's been known to talk to anyone and everyone, however, and holds older students/previous staff in a special place in his heart. Cassandra Trelawney was one of his very favourite people despite the fact that 'he was bad and made her put him in detention'; Nicholai Toussaint is someone he still considers to be one of his close (if not actually close) friends as well. Pretty much anyone and everyone he's met, he'd count as a friend. His personality, as he grows older, has shut up quite a bit; he's less outgoing when it comes to people, a bit more reserved, and definitely not as trusting. He still strives to see the better points in people, but he's lost the completely forgiving nature he carried with him before; now, if one were to give him a reason to dislike them, he would hold on to it for quite a while. He is fiercely loyal to his friends, and fiercely opposed to those he does not care for. With growth came a very strange nearsightedness; he cannot see in himself the reasons people state to be attracted to him as anything more than a friend. The gentle innocence and naivety are gone, stripped away by the events of his fifth term.

History :: I'll get around to this, maybe. It's... very long. Really. I wrote out what happened to him in each school year... it's a lot.
