Raiya was born a healthy baby girl to a mother who was of poor health. Her mother lived only long enough to give her her name, which was witnessed by the person in charge of an orphanage. That person took her in and raised her for a few years until an organization came and claimed her for their own reasons. When she was seventeen she went through a procedure that granted her about a third of the power she has now.

Over the next five years Raiya learned about the new powers she possesses and her new level of physical strength. It was during that time that she had to cut her hair, leaving it in the style that she now has for her hair. At the end of those five years she was given her sword since she graduated from training. She was also at about 35% of her current level of power at that time. For the next 378 years she served the organization as a slayer of Yoma, the very creatures who's flesh and blood had been used to replace some of her flesh and blood. During the year she turned 400 she started to have her doubts about the organization's intentions. It wasn't for fifty more years that she voiced her doubts to anyone else. As it turned out the comrade she told had been tasked with finding out how loyal she still was. Needless to say the organization sent some of their strongest warriors after her to try to kill her. It was at that time that she was forced to release all of her Yoma power, causing her to transform into an awakened one. Even in that form she did not kill the women that had been sent to kill her, instead merely knocking them unconscious before fleeing the area. For the next fifty years she did all that she could to find out more about the enigmatic organization that had altered her, even getting in contact with a member of the organization who was a mole trying to tear them down from within.

At the end of those fifty years Raiya managed to safely secure passage upon a seafaring vessel to leave the island of her birth. When she reached the continent that the vessel was headed for she found a person to create a proper sheath for her claymore that she did not want to leave behind. While waiting for the sheath to be made she obtained some new clothing so she would not stand out as much as her previous attire made her. This new attire was a simple adventurer's outfit, comfortable yet practical. Opting for no armor since she had always believed that the best defense was to not get hit. Over the course of the next thousand years she traveled about the land, doing jobs for the common people to make life safer for them. About 950 years into that period she had special clothing made for her that she still wears to this day. The shirt, shorts, gloves and boots are all made of the hide of a single wildebeest. Painted and stained into the shirt's front is a runic circle imbued with magic that allows Raiya to treat the clothing as a part of her own body, thus making it so she can repair it as she regenerates her own body. During the last twenty five years of those travels she met a man who shares her pain of living without age or illness affecting him. A thousand years after Raiya left her home she was about to marry him when the forces of those who altered her caught up to her.

Now, about that dreadful event where her former masters had caught up to her. On the day that they were to be wed a group of cloak wearing people walked into the town, approaching those who had gathered for the wedding. One of them asked if it was the wedding between one Carson Tigra and a Raiya. When someone answered yes to the question they threw off their cloaks and attacked everyone in the area, killing everyone in the town except for Raiya, who managed to kill the five elite warriors after transforming into her awakened form. After that massacre Raiya took her now dead fiance's last name as her own, partially since she never had one beforehand. Once she had gotten out of her wedding dress and gotten back in her clothes she left the ruined village behind her to avoid being caught up to again. That event made her very reluctant to open up to others.

For about five hundred years after her wedding day was obliterated, Raiya traveled mainly on foot and staying in villages and towns only long enough to do a few odd jobs for money before moving on. At the end of those fifty years she had amassed enough money to, with the help of one of the worlds best mechanical engineers that is unheard of, build a motorcycle that uses the Yoma energy within Raiya's body to power the engine. Unfortunately the engineer died when he put the finishing touch onto the engine's systems. Since that time Raiya has rarely stayed in one location for more than three days, driving the motorcycle nonstop for up to three weeks straight beforehand. It was due to this motorcycle that she now has, after resting for three days after driving it, enough Yoma energy reserves within her to regenerate herself from dozens of wounds that would be fatal to normal humans. At one point she learned all that there is to know about human anatomy and makes sure to refresh her memory of it every few months.
