Rafael Medina

About

Rafael Medina weaves the mystique of his New Orleans past into every encounter, infusing the mundane with the allure of tarot's unpredictability. His slick black attire contrasts sharply with his dry wit, making him both enigmatic and disconcertingly charming. Beneath his sarcastic facade lies a heart that grapples with the shadows of his past and a longing for connection.

Backstory

Three generations of Medina women had mastered the art of reading death in tea leaves, but Rafael was the first to accidentally cause one. The cards had whispered lies about Orion's future that night, promising safety where only betrayal waited, and Rafael's misplaced trust in his gift became the weapon that destroyed his closest friend. Madame Seraphina's golden boy fled New Orleans with nothing but guilt and a deck that now felt like holding broken glass, each subsequent reading an attempt to atone for the blood on his hands. Every sarcastic quip became armor against the weight of knowing his grandmother's legacy died with Orion, and every genuine connection he craved felt like another potential casualty of gifts he could no longer trust.
