Rain (webcomic): Difference between revisions

Fara came up with an interesting (but ballsy) plan to remedy this, but keep Rain happy. It took a long time and a lot of work, but she saved up enough money to move the two of them to a new town where nobody would know them. They acquired a fully female wardrobe for Rain, and she was [[New Transfer Student|enrolled in a high school]] ''as'' a girl. It would be potentially dangerous for Rain if she were ever caught, but her nature made her seek perfection in her presentation before going out into the world… [[Enforced Method Acting|Well, her voice could use some work anyway]]...

 

 

-----

* [[The Atoner]]: Aiken post-[[Character Development]].

* [[Bi the Way]]: Fara and Ky(lie). {{spoiler|Emily}} is revealed to be pansexual, as she only shares attraction with close friends, and doesn't like talking about it.

** Later on, however, Kellen has put herself in this spot, especially after {{spoiler|Rain's [[Traumatic Haircut]]}}.

** Not to mention the [http://littlelynn84.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4i7hia fake anime names], "Kill Book", "Dragoncube A", and "Hardsteel Physicist".

* [[Bonus Material]]: Jocelyn is interspersing bonus omake strips between her regular chapters under the title [[Punny Name|"Rain Delay".]]

* [[Character Title]]

* [[Childhood Friends]]: Gavin and Rain (as Ryan). Later on, {{spoiler|Allison}} has appeared as one for them.

** The entire Halloween party loses its color {{spoiler|when [http://littlelynn84.deviantart.com/art/RAIN-p163-164-Spectators-274995342\] Rudy, in a drunken stupor, kisses Rain}}.

** All of Rain's friends react like this when {{spoiler|Emily explains to them what happened [http://www.deviantart.com/art/RAIN-p700-Cryptic-563273700 that weekend].}}

** Additionally, in chapter 7, it is revealed that everyone thinks Rudy's homosexuality has been cured, after {{spoiler|he kisses Rain}}.

* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]: Rain in the prologue.

* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: Rain does this to the core cast at the end of Chapter One.

* [[Fictional Media]]: ''"Black Wings, Kaminari"'', ''"Halloween Princess Pandora"'', and ''"Mad Giga-Kaizer X"'' are all fictional manga and anime that Rain and her friends have collected.

* [[Flash Back]]: There is one in the prologue, and another when Rudy is explaining why Maria is in the closet.

* [[Gaydar]]: {{spoiler|Rain doesn't know what one is, [http://rainlgbt.smackjeeves.com/comics/1184187/shipper/ apparently...]}}

* [[The Generic Guy]]: Rand M. Guy (AKA Randy) is the least characterized of the ensemble cast, and as of yet the only recurring character who has had no dialogue. He appeared in chapters 1 (where he gets stared down by Maria) and 6 (where Rain and Gavin both [[Spit Take|spit their drinks on him]]). His normalness is lampshaded not only by his name, but from [[Word of God]] and [[Bonus Material]]. (No one cares that he is [[Bi the Way|bisexual]]).

{{quote|'''Rain''' (thinking): And even if he did, he probably wouldn't even believe what he saw, right? Yeah, I'm sure he wouldn't tell anyone...

'''Rudy''' (to Maria and Gavin): Hey, guys! You'll never guess what I saw! }}

* [[Halloween Episode]]: Basically all of Chapter 6.

* [[If It's You It's Okay]]: {{spoiler|How Rudy eventually becomes attracted to Rain, despite being predominantly homosexual otherwise.}}

* [[Ironic Nickname]]: Rain is actually not that fond of rainy days at all.

* [[Keet]]: Rudy is one, being small, loud, colorful, hyper...

* [[Mama Bear]]: Aunt Fara, full stop.

* [[New Transfer Student]]: The story kicks off with Rain's first day after transferring to a new school.

* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Rain, to {{spoiler|Maria and Gavin's crushes on her.}}

* [[Occidental Otaku]]: Rain is fond of [[Manga]], and Gavin is into [[Anime]].

* [[Spiritual Successor]]: It feels a lot like ''[[Venus Envy]]'' sometimes.

** While there are similar themes between the two, the author herself has admitted [http://littlelynn84.deviantart.com/journal/quot-Spiritual-Successor-quot-281206616\]{{Dead link}} to not reading Venus Envy. Not really SS material.

* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]: Rain in a gym uniform invokes this reaction from [[Schoolgirl Lesbian|Maria]]...and a good section of the audience.

* [[Took a Level In Kindness]]: Aiken, big time. He has gone from a transphobic [[Jerkass]] who left his fiancée and bashed Rain for being trans to one of Rain's biggest supporters and wanting to patch things up with Jessica.

* [[Transsexualism]]: Should be pretty obvious by now. While Rain is an mtf transsexual, the character of {{spoiler|Ky(or Kylie)}} also falls under this category, as he is genderfluid.

* [[Unwanted Harem]]: It seems that every kid in the school with a compatible sexual orientation gets a crush on Rain. The attention is very much unwanted, for fear that someone will find out her secret.

* [[Wham! Episode]]: Tons of them.

** Chapters 11 through 13: {{spoiler|Aiken deals with the fact that both his ex-fiancée and little brother (now sister) are transgender. He doesn't take it well.}}

** [http://www.deviantart.com/art/RAIN-p681-682-Legitimate-555777168 Chapter 26]: Heather reveals to Jessica {{spoiler|she has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_androgen_insensitivity_syndrome CAIS].}}

* [[Wham! Line]]: {{spoiler|[http://rainlgbt.smackjeeves.com/comics/1493267/have-a-wonderful-day/ Take a guess.]}}

{{quote|'''Emily''': {{spoiler|I… I'm… pregnant… It's my ex-boyfriend's.}}}}

{{quote|'''Rain''': {{spoiler|Emily, [[Love Confession|I have the biggest crush on you]].}}}}
