[edit] Biography

[edit] Resistance Retribution

Raine Bouchard is a serious, straightforward blonde woman of French origin, who offers James Grayson to join the Maquis, whom she herself is a member of. She often assists Pvt. James Grayson during the events of the game and is even rescued from a Chimeran Conversion Center at Bonn. Germany by him at one point in the game. In the aforementioned Conversion Center itself, James meets up with Roland Mallery, and after a heated argument with him, in which the latter tells the former that Raine seemed to have been drowned by the Chimera, sets out to rescue her. The events include killing an Angel and escaping in a Hammer.

She is then seen in Luxembourg with her father, Claude Bouchard, where he injected something in her body. They were working on a virus that could kill all Carriers, in order in halting the Chimeran conversion process. After Claude Bouchard is killed by a Burrower, she tries to finish their work, as Grayson and herself fight off assaulting Chimeran forces. It is later revealed she was deliberately infected by the Chimeran virus when she was in Bonn. In part of Operation Overstrike, Raine volunteers herself in infecting the Chrysalis Lair the Maquis agrees to Raine.

James Grayson has some sort of relationship during the course of the game, including stripping for him (only to seduce him), but when he finds out she has the Chimeran virus and Raine denies it to the Maquis, he loses trust in her.

At the end of the game Raine appears again this time in her Chimeran form-appearing as a Hag, but claiming to be "The Chrysalis"-and starts to attack Grayson, making her the Final Boss in Resistance: Retribution. Whilst Grayson fights her she says comments like "Why attack me, we're on the same side" and "You are staring, I know you can't resist, I am Beautiful now!" when she finally is defeated, Raine tries to tell James that even though they had wiped out the Carriers, a new race had evolved and they are called Spinners. She also reveals that the Chimera have apparently taken over other worlds other than Earth. The virus now takes control and Grayson shoots her in the head with a pistol. Her transformation and exact details of her death were only known to Grayson.

[edit] Trivia

• The ending scene in which Raine is shot in the head by James Grayson with a pistol, it is a mirror scene to the beginning of the game when Grayson kills his brother. It is also similar to when Nathan Hale was executed in the same fashion by Joseph Capelli in Resistance 2.
