#raymona

She asked for permission to draw a similar scene in her own style. BEHOLD:

based on one of the roleplay threads between me and @corazcnes' Main/Game Rayman.

Someone called his best gal pal a vegetable.

When Betilla the fairy created Rayman, Ly the fairy wanted to dip her toes into trying this magical process herself. She did not expect to get it on the first try. From this ritual, a lady thingamagig was born, and Ly adopted her and became her parental guardian as Betilla was for Rayman. Ly would name her Raymona, and became her mentor as well.

Raymona was born within the Glade of Dreams, and she was a curious child with a wild imagination. Always finding fun in every little thing, including her lessons. Ly realized that her creation’s strength differed in comparison to Rayman’s. She was weaker when it came to physical strength, but Ly could detect a glimmer within her being. Raymona began an education in the skill of fay magics, as well as the creation of Lums. She was a student that would strive in her lessons, and a very fast learner.

One day, Ly and Betilla planned to introduce the two ray children. Betilla loved the idea of Rayman making a new friend, and agreed with Ly that Raymona may make a good ally to him in the future. Ly arranged to spend half the year in Betilla’s homeland. The young Rayman was introduced to Ly and Raymona. Rayman gleefully welcomed his new friend and gave her a tour of his homeland. The two were considered inseparable. From learning musical instruments in Band Land, to picking flowers for their guardians in The Dream Forest, the two would do everything together. All the way until it was time for Ly and Raymona to return to the Glade of Dreams.

Rayman and Raymona were heartbroken. The two children begged their guardians to let Raymona stay. Betilla and Ly gave the two a method to keep in contact. They became pen pals and would write letters to each other all the time. Rayman would write to Raymona about how his life was going, and Raymona did the same. Through these letters, Rayman learned that Raymona was going to attend the same Academy that his father figure, The Magician, had attended with his cousin. Rayman sent Raymona a card and a flower from the forest when she graduated from the Academy.

After Mr. Dark’s defeat and the Great Protoon was recovered, Betilla decided to take the artifact to the Fairy Council located within the Glade of Dreams, which was on an entirely different continent and was a much different atmosphere than what Rayman was used to. Rayman traveled with her, and the great protoon was placed within the artifact vaults. Once their task was done, Betilla decided to stay in the glade to safeguard the protoon while The Magician kept an eye on things back home. Ly welcomed Rayman and Betilla to the glade and helped them get adjusted to their new lives in the glade.

Rayman would later be introduced to Globox, his wife Uglette, and their children. They offered Rayman a place to stay until he was able to acquire his new house. As Rayman was getting moved into his house, he received a surprise visit from Raymona. Rayman’s excitement bubbled over, and he greeted his old friend in excitement. Raymona helped Rayman move into his home, and they began to exchange stories with each other. Their friendship continued from where they left off. Raymona would introduce Rayman to one of her close friends, Murfy the greenbottle.

Rayman and Raymona have been through a lot together, even facing the invasion of the Robot Pirates within their homeland, which left him with a bit of trauma. Rayman becoming uncomfortable in cramped spaces or cells, as well as suffering occasional nightmares about the event to this day. Raymona being a source of comfort and support to him during these moments. Their bond would be strengthened, and the two started dating. He even gifted her the red neckerchief he wore in the past and she wears it to this day. When Rayman is not palling around with Globox or Murfy, he’s often seen in the company of Raymona on his various adventures through the glade, with her becoming a well-coordinated member of Rayman’s team roster.
