Editing Raf (section)

==Character==

Raf is steady, helpful and thoughtful, with a practical streak that makes him a useful member of the group. He is not as outspoken as Luke or Susan, and he tends to work quietly in the background, keeping the household running and doing what needs to be done. He knows the local routines well, especially the fishing, the coastline and the practical layout of the approach to Rocosa and Sometria.

He is loyal to his family and willing to take risks when needed, but he is cautious by nature. Unlike Alucio, who drives plans forward, Raf often acts as a stabilising presence, checking details and filling in gaps with concrete knowledge. He is also sensible about danger and is often the one to point out limitations or practical problems with the others’ plans.

Raf is not emotionally dramatic, but he is compassionate in a grounded way. He helps the Maddisons adapt to Altierra, lends them clothing, explains customs, and quietly supports them through difficult moments. He comes across as tolerant and decent, with enough resolve to do what is necessary but not enough recklessness to ignore consequences.
