History:
The Drake family owns a number of business locations throughout Amestris, though primarily within the capitol cities of each Province. Together, the family runs a series of auction houses where New and Used automail, automail parts, cars, train cars, anything with a motor or complex mechnical parts, is auctioned off. They periodically also see other special interest items through their location. Items must typically be Draw items, or part of a large lot of items in order to be sold through their business.

Usually they don't handle inventory such as military equipment where weaponry is involved, though often, the same manufacturers they deal with to get their new cars and automail parts are the same producer of machines used by the military. Drake Wholesale holds a contract with such manufacturers to help them market and wholesale their products, so that they can get them out on the market, into the hands of smaller businesses and mom and pop shops. Drake Wholesale doesn't buy them, they're just the middle man between buyer and seller, receiving commission and other service fees.

Most of their customers are automail mechanic shop owners who source their automail parts through the wholesale services, though they do attract large business and even goverment entities for the remarketing of used government vehicles or the sale of more special interest vehicles such as new cars for those wealthy enough to afford them. Special events are hosted for such vehicles as those, as well as for train cars, steam engines and steam powered tractors for large, outlying farms. They used to deal more heavily with horse drawn buggies, but have more recently moved to excluding those from their wholesale, moving into strictly mechanical sales.

The Drake family has owned and operated their business for two, going on three generations, their largest locations being in South City and Central City. Each location employs several people for various tasks, and each of their family members tends to remain within the business or within related trade. Rinan's job within the company is to maintain customer relations and help drum up new business -new customers- for them. Periodically she will travel for business between company locations or to pay visits to customers.

As far as personal life, Rinan has always lived within the Southern Province, and she gets along well with her family; even her younger brother, who is just one year younger than she is. She considers herself to have had a normal childhood and not much out of the ordinary has occurred in her life up until a couple of years ago when her grandfather died. Only a year later then, her grandmother also passed away, and the loss has been difficult for the whole family to endure.


Personality:
-Usually gentle & understanding
-Educated: Her family has always been big on higher education, believing that life was not lived to the fullest if one was not in pursuit of learning more about the world around you.
-Self-confident
-Strong Willed/ Stubborn
-Sensitive and sentimental, but tough-skinned enough that she won't let it show outwardly very often. She internalizes her feelings mostly, so always appears happy.
-Energetic and positive outlook.
-Generally well composed.
-A haggler; due to her occupation, she has learned how to hassle people for business. She's quite good at it, seeing as she rarely lets prospective customers off the hook for not utilizing the services she's offering, and that existing customers get to put up with her no-BS attitude. She doesn't let them get away with anything, though she does baby them when necessary because they're her valued customers. Anyway, she has to put up with their attitudes too. Sheesh. Needy mechanics.
-Devoted to her family's business and to her customers -as well as to her friends.
-Girly
-A curious, exploratory nature, but prefers not to stick her nose too far into business that isn't hers.
-Practical
-Attentive to details. Few things slip past her unnoticed. This makes her fairly adept at reading people, their body language, catching people in their lies, etc.
-Elegant
-Carries herself with poise and pride. She is more prideful in her family’s work than of her own self and her own accomplishments.
-Makes a point of getting to know all kinds of people. Pretends to be a socialite. Even though she prefers smaller social circles, it’s a matter of practicality in her eyes. And good for business.


Hobbies/Skills/Likes:
-Takes dance classes, so she tends to be nimble; light on her feet.
-Shopping
-Train rides and Traveling
-Cooking: She’s a foodie at heart
-The rain
-Selling automail Finding buyers for her parent’s wholsale items and then drumming up business for her brother.

Unskillful at/Dislikes:
-Dislikes the beach. She doesn't like water much at all unless in the form of rain or bathwater. She prefers moderat to cool climates, so the beach tends to be a bit much for her -not to mention all the water. It's actually a phobia of hers..

Mannerisms/ Quirks:
Has a range of quite animated expressions that others usually find comical.

Weaknesses:
Phobia of large bodies of water/ rivers.

Fighting Style/Favoured Weapon:
Not a fighter. Would probably take on a support role during any conflict or use whatever was around her to fight with.
