Raynare was a Fallen Angel and the first antagonist of High School DxD.
Raynare was an attractive young woman with violet eyes, and a curvaceous, slender body. She had long, silky black hair that reached down to her hips and possessed two black feathered wings characteristic of her race.
Raynare's height is 164 cm. (5'4"), according to the visual book with her data.
Her attire consisted of a short black dress with a small, light purple jacket on top, which was worn throughout most of her appearances in both the light novel and manga.
In the anime, she had a slender body with a large bust. Her initial attire (as Yuuma) was her school uniform, which consisted of a dark red jacket with the letter "P" embroidered in gold, a white undershirt, a red bow, and a green skirt with a thin white strip around the lower end.
Upon the climax of her date with Issei, she shredded her clothing and changed into her alternate (and more common) form. In the process of transforming, she grew taller, taking on a more mature appearance, and her eyes changed, taking on a darker, narrower, and more evil look. Her clothing also changed dramatically, now consisting of black, strap-like objects (resembling leather) around and under her breasts, a thong-like piece held around her hips by three thin straps, gloves that ran right up her arms with small lengths of chains hanging from them, shoulder guard-like objects on her shoulders with three large spikes sprouting from her right shoulder, and black thigh-high heeled boots.
Her voice also dropped to a lower pitch when in this form. This form is best described as a very erotic and revealing version of her disguise.
Raynare seemed like a sweet young school girl at first, but this was just a disguise to hide her true nature. Her true personality revealed that she was vicious, petty, sadistic, treacherous, vindictive, arrogant, cruel, barbaric, and very deceptive. This was most infamously shown when she successfully manipulated Issei Hyoudou's mind in order to get close to him and kill him. She also laughed cruelly at Issei, believing him to be "weak" and that it would be "a waste of her time killing him". This shows how Fallen Angels like her can manipulate the will of mere humans with ease.
She is loyal to her superiors, Azazel and Shemhazai, and would go to great lengths for them. However her loyalty may come into question as she tends to take action without their consent, believing it's for the good of all Fallen Angels.
She has often shown overconfidence and tends to look down anyone who is (in her mind) inferior to her, as well as torment and taunt them, such as when she mocks Asia's death in front of Issei out of spite and shows no remorse.
She had also demonstrated herself to be a coward at the most desperate moments, as she pathetically begged the man she betrayed to save her life, only to be coldly obliterated by Rias.
Not much was known about Raynare's history, other than the fact that she was banished from Heaven for an offense of some sort. Shortly before the series began, Raynare came into contact with Freed and Asia, who became her subordinates.
She was sent to eliminate Issei because of his Sacred Gear's dangerous potential.
Light Power: As a Fallen Angel, Raynare has the ability to use Light Power to create various effects. Raynare claims that, while not flashy, her light is particularly lethal to Devils for her level, enough that it wouldn't be strange for Low-class Devils to die from blows to the legs by her spears, and that even Middle-class Devils would have a hard time healing from the wounds. Issei stated that it felt like his bones and muscles were "melting," even after he removed the weapon itself.
•Light-Based Weapons: Raynare could create and throw spears of light to kill Devils. However, unlike most Fallen Angels who wield only one light spear, Raynare was skilled enough to create several light spears at once. She could put enough power behind them to pierce the body of a Rook-promoted Low-class Devil such as Issei, who demonstrated enough durability to easily withstand bullets of light in that state not long before.
Magic: She is shown to be at least knowledgeable in some magic.
•Memory Alteration: Raynare was also able to wipe the memories and all the records of her existence as Yuuma from all the students she has met with at Kuoh Academy.
•Cloth Manipulation: She has shown to change between her casual clothing and her revealing black leather attire.[note 1]
Flight: Being a Fallen Angel, Raynare could fly using her wings.
Twilight Healing (Temporary): After performing the ritual to extract Twilight Healing from Asia, Raynare gained her Sacred Gear thus allowing her to heal herself. After being defeated by Issei and killed by Rias, the Twilight Healing is retrieved by Rias and returned to Asia.

Anime
•(To Issei) "W-Will you go out with me?" (Season 1, Episode 1)
•Raynare's alias, Yuuma (夕麻), means "setting sun", in reference to her killing Issei at sunset on their first date.
•Her full alias, in traditional order (Amano Yuuma), can be translated as "Heaven's Evening Daze", or phonetically Ama no Yuuma.
•In the Light Novel and Manga, Raynare only grew a pair of black wings on her back as opposed to the Anime, where all of her clothing and physical age changed when she revealed her identity as a Fallen Angel.
•Among the series antagonists after her, and despite being the weakest one, Raynare was the sole one who had the deepest impact on Issei until getting over her.
