why: why'd you pick this character? (minimum 2 sentences)
To be honest, when I first saw Ray in the PatF teaser, I thought I was going to loathe him. Here I was, just rolling my eyes and thinking, Oh great, another annoying sidekick. XP Let's just say I seriously ate my words came the time the film was released. My opinion totally changed once I saw the movie and I got so attached to him. He was funny, surprisingly endearing, and stood out against most sidekicks for me.

charrie appearance[/ul][/font][/i]
facial description/mood expressions: Ray's typically cheerful most of the time, his mouth set in a slack, nonchalant grin filled with jack o'lantern-like teeth. His eyelids are violet shaded and half closed most of the time, giving him a rather lovesick expression. When upset or provoked, Ray's light emanates a startling red and his mouth curls up in a tight line or rapidly expands as he's yelling his head off.
clothing style: Well, he's...naked. O.o
body build: Ray is incredibly thin in his limbs and his chest, but he has an enormous backside. Unlike most people who have one, he's quite proud of his. He claims it as his most attractive feature. His wings are a bit on the limp side and his feet are tiny, yet gangly looking. At a closer inspection, you can see that his toes are a bit on the droopy side.
any unique traits (optional) :
Well, his butt glows and his Cajun accent is pretty dang adorable. XP

original charrie analysis. (everything must be in your own words! please be thorough.)[/ul][/font][/i]
history: Ray was, as he put it, "born an' bred in da bayou." He lived in the extensive swamps in the more rural part of New Orleans with over a thousand relatives, including brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, and his frisky gran'mama. He's always had a huge section of his heart dedicated to his family and the bayou while the whole of it was bestowed upon Evangeline, a name he christened the evening star with, naively thinking she was another firefly.
He was the second creature to meet Tiana and Naveen on their voyage to find Mama Odie and lead them into the right direction. In spite of Louis's bumbling demeanor, he was quick to become friends with him as well. He even assisted removing the prickers from the gator's backside at one point, although it wasn't exactly voluntary.
Towards the one of their last ventures, Ray was the first one Naveen confessed his infatuation with Tiana to and aided him in the romantic department for how to seize her love back. Unfortunately, Naveen was captured by Dr. Facilier before he could issue his feelings to the princess.Ray, along with the help of Louis helped the prince escape and the firefly was able to snatch the talisman away from the good doctor. Ray passed the charm along to Tiana hastily but it was too late for him, because Facilier had heartlessly stomped on his body in the means.
He was found later by Louis, his light giving one final flicker before he faded away entirely. A funeral was held for the poor insect and as he was set adrift the bayou on a leaf, he passed on to the heavens, becoming a star right to his dear Evangeline.
As for how he has revived, Ray has been sent back down to help his friends should they ever get into another strife with Facilier or any of the other villains. Evangeline might put it that he was destined to keep helping and coveting his relationships with the people down on earth.

what makes this character unique:
Everything. Ray is there for his friends, caught in reveries about a star, cute in a more subtle way, and he's...he's a firefly! He wouldn't be as epic as regular fly or a grasshopper, would he? In general, he just rocks and he's one of those characters you have to take a closer look at and open your mind to. I went from thinking I was gonna want to strangle him throughout the whole movie to dying to hug him. XP
