Liriel, who goes by Rain, is a currently pre-op male-to-female transgender girl. Her sexuality isn't fully defined, but she has gone out with both boys and girls. She is known to be "obsessive-compulsive" about passing.

Rain likes manga, especially "Black wings, Kaminari".

Early life
Rain knew she was a girl from early in life, but due to family rejection she suppressed these feelings until came into Fara's care. When she was still presenting as a boy, she used to prefer playing video games at Christmas and on her birthday over trying on clothes.

Life with Fara
Rain came into her aunt Fara's care when her mother died. At some point during this time, Rain came out to Fara as transgender, and started presenting in public as female. However, she didn't talk much to anybody other than Fara and was mostly a homebody.

Life in Centerville
Rain and Fara moved to Centerville so that Rain could present full time as a girl. She enrolled in St. Hallvard High School, where Fara works as an art teacher. Due to an incident with her voice squeaking, she attracted a lot of attention from the male half of the school on her first day attending. Later that same day, she met her old friend Gavin as well a pair of new friends: Maria and Rudy Strongwell. None of the three understood Rain's gender at first but all have since become close friends to Rain.

Dating Rudy
During Halloween, Rudy dressed as a girl. This upset Rain, making her mad at Rudy for most of the night until, in a drunken stupor, Rudy kissed Rain. The next day Rudy explained himself and asked Rain out. It went well at first, until Rain started transition, when she started worrying Rudy only liked her because he thought of her as a boy or boyish. They eventually broke up, when Rain realized while Rudy liked her, she didn't like him.

Coming out to Her Siblings
Over Christmas, Aiken need a place to stay so Fara offered to help him over Rain's objections. When Aiken first arrived, Rain presented as Ryan, her 'male' self. And asked Rudy to be Ruby for the time, to pass as a girlfriend. This didn't last long as Chase clued Aiken in. Rain spent the rest of Christmas break as a flat-chested girl (she'd given her falsies to Rudy). Fara eventually threw Aiken out when his passive aggressive tactics went over the line. Right afterwards, Kellen called, and Fara explained Rain's trans status.

The Con and the Haircut
After breaking up with Rudy, Rain tried again to reconcile with her siblings. By this time Aiken was accepting of her, but Kellen was not. Kellen was aggressive, in denial, and grasped at any explanation that would let her "have her Baby Bro back". This culminated with her giving Rain a haircut in her sleep. After this, Rain broke all ties with Kellen.

Dating Emily
After the haircut, Rain and Emily grew closer together, and eventually they confessed their feelings for each other.

The two are currently in a relationship. However, they have concealed this from the others, aside from Maria, who found out of her own accord and has agreed to keep it a secret. This is made easier by the fact that Emily is currently living at Fara's house, with Rain.

Appearance
Much like her siblings, Rain has brown hair and green eyes. Rain has a wide array of clothes with many colors but she's mainly fond of purple attire, especially in later chapters. As she's in her senior year, Rain wears blue sleeves and a blue collar in accordance to St. Hallvard High School's uniform policy.

Rain's hair was quite long and styled it in several ways. Her most common look involved bangs that covered one of her eyes. Her hair became a lot shorter after Kellen gave her a traumatic haircut, but Emily helped give her a more feminine hairstyle. She has several hair accessories such as headbands and hairpins.

In the epilogue, its revealed that Rain decided to keep her short hairstyle and now wears her father Lorcan's ribbon.
