Gui Raika

妫 雷佳

clan/branch: Gui/Rai

the general of 6th Prince Wei of Tao Palace.

family
born into a small, insignificant family of a side branch in the Gui clan, the youngest of 3 daughters. both her parents are from small branches of their respective families, her father actually marrying into the Rai family from another clan. her mother and eldest sister are government officials; her father a househusband; the second sister works in the family business with the main branch. she has a cordial relationship with her sisters, but the large age gap made it difficult to communicate sometimes.

history
when Raika was 15, she made the decision to attend the royal academy, where she was assigned to guard one of the princes and then spent the rest of her years training, finally graduating and achieving the rank of General.

life in the imperial palace
despite her role as a general, Raika cannot enjoy the full benefits that come with the title because of who she serves (prince Wei). there is a lot of animosity towards the prince, especially from certain members of the royal family.

when she is not guarding (babysitting) the prince, Raika mostly spends her time in the royal palace training with the guards or another fellow general - Shayu of the Ren clan.
