Author Notes
Intended to be a noble friend for Janetsa who helps her in her times of need. Unlike other characters with two outfits she can actually wear both as Costume 1 tends to be her battle clothing while Costume 2 is her noble clothing in her mansion and outside of battle.
Soulcalibur III
- Costume 1 ~ Drake Knight
- Later versions of this outfit remove some armor for more mobility and changed her colors to have White clothing and Light Blue armor.
- Costume 2 ~ Drake Noble
- The only time her pants were Black, in later version while a similar top couldn't be found the pants where changed to White. The gloves were also removed in later versions.
Soulcalibur IV
- Costume 1 ~ Drake Knight
- Attempted recreation of her BD look with a little improvision.
- Costume 2 ~ Drake Noble
- Recreation of the BD version with improvements such as better boots and the streak on the outside part of the pants.
Soulcalibur BD
- Costume 1 ~ Drake Knight
- It was tough to make Raia have a workaround the limit of having to choose between armor or a shirt for her top. Thankfully due to Hilde's style it fits her perfectly since Lance from SC3 was removed. This is her most accurate design even better than SC5.
- Costume 2 ~ Drake Noble
- Raia's Noble attire she wears when not in her battle outfit, while Janetsa cut her hair, Raia let hers grow, at the same time she removed the tuft of hair she had.
Soulcalibur V
- Costume 1 ~ Drake Knight
- I would've attempted to add the spiky protrusions in her hair, but I couldn't get anything to come close to it so I left that out. Her BD design remains the most accurate (though the dragon on her back flap should be on the sash).
- Costume 2 ~ Drake Noble
- Slight update to her design in SC4/BD with added dragon symbols on the back bottom of her shirt, one of the least changed characters from Dark Time in SC5.
Warriors Series
- Dynasty Warriors 7 Costume 1 ~ Drake Knight
- A pretty nice attempt at her usual outfit, she's supposed to have spiky protrusions in her hair, but in this game I decided to use the antenna hair piece. She is one of 3 character who actually does use more than one weapon rather than just has a 2nd weapon choice for kicks. Since there's no Sword and Spear style she'll have to use Lance main and Rapier sub to somewhat replicate it. I was originally going to give her Sword & Shield as her main weapon, but I hate the auto-block feature of it.
- Dynasty Warriors 7 Costume 2 ~ Drake Noble
- While slightly different than her Soulcalibur counterparts it's not too big of a change, this is the first time shes had something around her head signifying her royalty which is usually exempt in Soulcalibur.
- Dynasty Warriors 8 Costume 2 ~ Drake Noble
- Different top to give more of an noble feel, wish there was a Leg part like Battle Trousers that was shorter on the back flaps.
- Samurai Warriors 4 ~ Drake Knight
- As with most Dark Time characters her concept is based on an alpha design before her true design (which the Soulcalibur games have come close to). Raia Drake was originally intended to use a Heavy Sword meant to cutting down Cavalry units which Ranmaru's moveset sorta fills the role. Before she had the spiky protrusions in her hair it was combed up similarly to this hair style.
