Who is Rainsong?

Rainsong is a Wolfrider elf from the ElfQuest universe, a gentle member of Cutter's forest-dwelling tribe who is closely bonded with Redlance and known for her nurturing presence within the tight-knit Wolfrider community.

Rainsong is a Bronze Age gem of independent comics, stepping onto the page in ElfQuest #2 in 1978 β€” part of the groundbreaking WaRP Graphics saga that Wendy and Richard Pini built into one of the most beloved creator-owned fantasy series in the medium's history. Over a quarter-century of adventures alongside cherished figures like Cutter, Nightfall, Redlance, and Treestump, Rainsong carved out a lasting place in the rich tapestry of the Wolfrider world. With three key-issue appearances to their name and a presence felt across ElfQuest, Kings of the Broken Wheel, and ElfQuest: Wolfrider, this is a character who rewards the devoted reader who digs deep into one of comics' most passionate fan communities. If you love intimate, character-driven fantasy storytelling from an era when indie publishers were quietly changing what comics could be, Rainsong is well worth seeking out.
