Background
Some meet demons or angels or werewolves or other fantastical creatures through sheer luck, or perhaps simple misfortune. A passerby caught up in an event, an unwitting dupe in a greater scheme, or just a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But those types of chance encounters are rare and difficult to rely on, which is why the true enthusiasts of the otherworldly devote their entire lives to ensuring they are in the right place at the right time. It takes careful planning and foresight to be right there for when a vampire awakens from a millennia-long nap, or to find the undisturbed tomb of a long dead emperor in order to interact with the ancient golem tasked with guarding his earthly possessions, or to be on the scene when a demon finds a tear in the fabric of Hell and rips its way into the world.

Raital comes from a long line of such 'enthusiasts,' as every one of her ancestors devoted their life's work to chasing after the mystical and mythical beings that live on the edges of mankind's collective unconscious. It is her desire to learn more of these poorly understood creatures, to dispel the fog of legend and obscurity. Like those who came before her, Raital wields a powerful thirst for knowledge and a healthy respect for the dangers of her chosen career. She travels with all the equipment and supplies she might need at any given moment, though she sometimes has to make special side trips to collect necessary objects or required materials, most often food but occasionally ancient relics and powerful artifacts. After all, compelling supernatural beings to surrender personal information is rarely ever an easy task. Even with her caution, Raital often finds herself in trouble of some sort or another, whether it's winding up as a horny demon's plaything for a while, snatched up by a hungry harpy, shrunken by a spiteful fairy, or dragged into the sea by a playful mermaid. Somehow she always tends to get out of it, and nothing can deter her from returning to her hunt for greater understanding.
