Bio
Spoken by Raina:

“A short summary you say? Of my story? Well it is a long one so I shall endeavor to shorten it as much as possible. I was born to a working family in New New Orleans. For a time my grandmother, who had still seen some of the old world before the flood happened, was still alive. She passed away right before I turned ten. She taught me how to sew and sang to me in a language that was used by her parents. I know some of it actually. It is French. But yes, she taught me to sew, often times when I’m working on something it feels that she is with me. Anyway, after she died the entire family basically fell apart. My mother wouldn’t stop crying and eventually my father left. My brother… well… he’s dead. I don’t want to talk about it. My mother passed away when I was about 19. Leaving me alone. I was left with a lot of fabrics with all the clothes that had been left behind. So, I started sewing. It became a business. It wasn’t much but I was able to feed myself and be able to buy more fabrics to keep sewing for other customers. Why do I want to cross the Vast sea? Well isn’t it obvious? It isn’t? It’s what my brother wanted to do. So I worked enough money to travel. Also, if you would like, I could fix that hole in your shirt. What? What do you mean you didn’t notice it?”
