Ray is so pretty :3
When Raymond was born, he had a older brother named Kio. Kio was around 6 when he was born. As the two grew older, Kio seemed off. He didn't enjoy see their parents and only enjoyed seeing his younger brother because he was the only one who really supported him. Eventually, Kio dropped out of school and ran away when he was 15. Ray still remembers when he found his brother sneaking out.He asked him where he was going, Kio lied to him, telling him he'd be gone for a couple days. He was never seen again after that day.
Ray grew up from 9 years old alone, suffering his parent's torment, their expectations and mentally losing himself in a rabbit hole of depression after his brother left. Ray evenutally met a girl named Millie. When the two were first friends, Ray was more the open and talkitive one within the both of them. Millie just listened to him talk and Ray loved that about her. It made him feel like he had never lost his brother in the first place. Mil eventually felt comfortable enough to tell Ray that she had an older sister named Kaim.
Once Mil told him about her... 1, 2, skip a few, turns out that Mil's sister knew Ray's older brother. She told him that he was working with her. In what? In stealing!!! Ray was surprised, especially since he (only) knew his brother to be a nice and faithful child when he was younger. "Is that who he really is?"he remembers asking her. She told him that he's on his own now, that he never told her that he had a younger brother. "He probably just wants to... you know.. seperate himself from his past."
Since Mil's older sister would help her on her own missions sometimes, Ray ultimately decided to help her as well (his family situation was in a bad position at the time). After a while, the two were left alone as Kaim thought they were doing great. Once she had left, the two were on a streak... for a while. One day, they faced someone who was much stronger than the two. Ray stood up to them, wanting to leave without any harm happening to either of them. 1, 2 skip a few (again) and Mil lost her eye... great.
Kaim found out not long later and cursed Ray out, though she appologized after she found out he didn't intend to get her hurt and they made up. As for Kio, he mostly avoided Ray, as he doesn't want to face the one person he left down. He deeply regrets leaving Ray all alone and will (and has) deprived himself from seeing Ray grown up now. He watches Ray being the carefree and joyful person he is, but he knows that it's just a front he puts on with others. But the times they did interact, Kio was distant and their talks were awkward. Though their relationship is stained, they don't hate one another, they just don't know what to say to each other after years of seperation.
Ray is currently an adult (early-mid 20s) :3
