The shadow of many forgotten pasts
Rᴂlin Xanios (a.k.a. Ra)
Show spoiler
She is alone, watching through the eyes of a serpent. She is forgotten, and shunned by those who once looked up to her. The girl, a shining star in the midst of asteroids, knows the truth but doesn't tell. Let them find out, she thinks, smiling to herself. She fingers the crown in her hands and raises it to her head. Let them know who's queen...

Personal history
Ra was the bumbling, happy-go-lucky combat assistant to the lead instructor at the CTAAC (The Citraidarian Training Academy in the Art of Combat) and training to be a priestess at the Citadel itself. She had wound up at the Citadel four years before Catshock did with similar memory issues (though she did remember more about herself-like her name, family, etc) and quickly rose up in the ranks.

Turns out that she was responsible for Tantemtalem mistake at the Castle. Ra had previously been the leader of a small group of rebels that had been battling the Black Knight's forces and pushing them back. She led a raid on the Castle and freed several prisoners, including the lead instructor of CTAAC, who'd been captured and held for ransom. Tantemtalem had been on guard that night and had failed to hold off the rebels or even stop them, so that's why the Black Knight banished her. The only thing that Tantemtalem was able to do sucessfully was implant a viral device called an Adder on Ra's arm. The device injected a small chip into Ra's bloodstream that made its way to her brain and took control. Ra didn't realize this, of course. She was the kind of person who would kill herself if she thought that she might betray the Citadel.

The BK knew that he had to get his hands on the Capricorna, the only weapon that could stop him (as it contained the power source that had given him his power). Ra accompanied Tantemtalem and gang on the quest to stop the Black Knight. Ra doesn't recognize Tantemtalem by the way. The Black Knight activated the Adder while on this journey and watched through Ra's eyes.
Show spoiler
So when Tantemtalem and gang got the Capricorna from the Hermit and Ragsnik at the Hermit's tower, Ra was compromised and attacked her friends with dark, Adder magic, trying to steal the Capricorna. Understanding the consequence of losing this magic object, Ragsnik defended them and tried to fight back with his forest magic, but Ra was too strong. In a last ditch effort, Ragsnik used his most powerful attack, one that he'd never used before because of the risk, but the power-ball exploded in a wave of powerful magic and destroyed the Capricorna (one of the two main reasons why Tantemtalem hates him), and the spell he was going to use on Ra went crazy and turned her into a giant, incoporeal snake called the Shadow with dark powers. Ra teleported away and has been following the gang ever since, fading in and out of reality (sometimes under the BK's control, sometimes fighting it in order to protect her friends).
She faced Tantemtalem and Meew on the Bridge during the final battle and was ultimately killed by the shock wave blast of the Capricorna and fell off the crumbling Bridge to her doom.
