I used to draw a lot in School. I was in the Library one hot Monday afternoon, and I began to draw a cool-looking guy with a long coat and a sword. I couldn't think of a name for him, and then, for some unknown reason, the name "Raine" popped into my head. I hadn't actually played Final Fantasy VIII at the time, so I suppose it was just a coincidence.

I added the "Cloud" part when I joined EoFF, as I thought it sounded quite nifty. After all, "Rainecloud" has a much better look to it than "Raincloud", don't you agree?
