Phoebe Ashe, aka Rapture, has never quite had her feet on the ground. She was considered the perfect, model child who never made a fuss. She was a pretty blonde girl who grew up into a beautiful woman, but the older she got, the more people worried. What seemed like a model child turned into a girl who lived in her own fantasy world and hated to be bothered with the "real" world - especially when it came to doing work.

Rapture is physically lazy. Music is the only thing that really gets her moving, mainly because she can incorporate it readily into her daydreams. Mentally, however, she never stops. She loves fantasy-oriented movies, fantasy books, fantasy art - anything that transports her from the dull, uniteresting world of reality.

Rapture doesn't necessarily believe in fantasy, she simply prefers it over the "mundane" world. One thing she does do extraordinarily well is manipulate people. Not in a fashion remotely resembling what Riot does. Rapture uses her well-exercised imagination to baffle and bedazzle others with nonsense made up totally off the top of her head or from something she read in a New Age pseudo-science book. The only reason Rapture never bothers to use astrology to this end is that it takes too much work to learn "all that stuff" and she's so lazy, she'd rather make something up on the spot. Rapture is all image and little substance.

Given her propensity for manipulating others, it's ironic that Rapture is completely under Riot's spell. She's not in love with him, she's in love with his image and the fantastical aspects of him.
